Car brought to local Honda dealer. Inspection revealed problems with 'Throttle body assembly' had been noticed by Honda 2008. Dealer says too bad...out of warrenty. Cost to repair will exceed $1,100.00. I feel this was a known problem by Honda, and that it should be replaced under a recall. I had a similar problem with the air conditioning unit. Once out of warranty we were told that it must be replaced at our expense. We paid for the replacement. There seems to be a pattern from Honda on covering items during the warranty period. We love the car, but would have to think real hard to purchase another.
