| Description of the problem | I was on highway i35 heading to dallas driving 70mph. Suddenly my check engine light started blinking and my car completely shut down automatically when i was in the middle of 18 wheelers and other traffic zooming by me honking due to my speed drastically dropping. I had to coast across 3 lanes of heavy traffic to get over to the shoulder. I was terrified i was going to get slam into by one of the many semi-trucks. It was terrifying. Called and had my car towed. Cleo bay honda (kileen, tx) said it was a misfire of one of the fuel injectors. When i picked it up the following week, i got back on the freeway to head back to georgetown and the samething happened again. I again was forced to cross 2-3 lanes by coasting to get over to the shoulder. They now are going to replace all 4 fuel injectors, but i have lost all confidence in this car's safety. I do not want to take it on the freeway again, fearing the 3rd time i will be killed. I dodged two bullets with this car, why should i be forced to dodge anymore? Very scary! This car was programed to shut down when a misfire occurs but they fail to consider where the driver might be when it happens. Twice it happened when i was on a busy freeway and i lost all speed with cars/semi-trucks going 70-75mph past me and i am forced to cross 3 lanes of traffic to get to a safe location. The fear that happened the first time was still frightening and to have it happen a second time was terrifying and i don't feel safe anymore driving it. If not me someone will be killed or seriously injured due to this defect! |
