While driving I smelled then saw smoke coming out of the gear shift area. I pulled over, turned off and exited my car. I opened the hood and within minutes my car was engulfed in flames. The fire department had to come put it out.

I got into a car one afternoon and heard a rattling sound, I turned off the A/C to make sure it wasnt the engine. As soon as I turned it off, the sound stopped. I turned it back on and drove down the road and heard something fly out from underneath my car and suddenly the air was blowing hot out of the A/C. I took it to a shop to get it looked at and was told that it was the clutch from the A/C that had broken off and it now needs to be replaced. In replacing the clutch, I was also told that the compressor and drier also needed to be replaced which would cost me a total of $950. Before I had taken it in, I was told that if it was still blowing air than it wasn't the compressor, so why would it need to be replaced? of course, Honda wont stand behind it and pay for the A/C unit being fixed. I bought it brand new in 2000 and havent even had it 3 years yet.

Manual transmission jumps while driving also does not want to go into second gear. Makes wierd grinding sound while driving slow. Car shutters and shakes violently while in 5th gear in excess of 70 mph. Car shuts off by its self( was told VIN not in sequence for ignition recall). Right front springs sticks and some times makes a ( " boing" ) sound. Car keeps pulling to right even after alignment. When heater or defroster are on they make a loud chirping sound. On cold or rainy days steam will pour out of engine compartment smelling like radiator fluid. Was in 2 minor accidents one front end colision one rear end colission both about 30 mph and air bags did not deploy. Engine is becoming rusty and coroded. Drivers power window is slow to go up and front seat belts will not retract. Engine light comes on and car loses power and gas mielage. Goes offf when gas tank is filled. Car has been to dealer numerous times for Honda scheduled service and also while it was under warranty. All the problems adressed above were told to dealer who said they could not find a problem..but they sure did when my warranty expired. Now they will not fix anyhting unless I pay for it.
