| Description of the problem | 1) april 5, 2010: forty-five minutes into the drive, my gas tank (which was half full) dropped below empty in just one second. I could feel the engine shutting down on the highway. I was in the left hand lane driving in heavy traffic. At this point, i knew that i needed to pull over and get help. Unfortunately, the cars behind me were passing me on the right hand side not allowing me to get over. I knew that if someone would not let me over into the right hand lane, i was going to die along with others that would crash into me. Fortunately, god created an opening. At this opening, i merged onto an exit ramp for me to realize i don't have any brakes at all. I went into panic and fight mode. I was an inch away from slamming into a pole and tipping over a little cliff when i slammed the car into park position in order to stop my car. 2) failure: loss of control, engine shutting down, loss of brakes on the highway consequences: almost lost my life and could've easily killed others on the highway this is the first time this particular engine problem occurred, but this is not the first engine problem. 3) car was brought to the closest honda dealership. Several scans done. They couldn't figure out the problem. 4) towed car from that dealership to my original dealer. This honda cr-v bought brand new is currently with my original dealer. They are trying to figure out the defect. |
