On 6/19/18 I saw the engine light came on. I took it to my technician to be fixed 4 times, the light was still on. I took it to the dealer that I bought the car from twice. I hope it is the last time I will have this problem. The test for the engine light showed that the thermostat was bad. Another says is the coil is bad. I think a recall should be done.

  • Automatic transmission
  • 31,000 miles

I was stunned that this happened. Only 31,000 miles. Two cylinder's ignition coils bad . Called Honda dealer and told to not drive with flashing engine warning light. The ignition coils set above each spark plug.

Three weeks before my ignition switch was locked up. I could not turn key. Called a locksmith out who took ignition out and repaired and it . Cost $225. Dealer said about $600.

Two costly repairs in a short span of time.

The engine light is a sure sign that there is something serious going on with your car. This can't be taken lightly.

Update from Jan 26, 2011: 01/26/11 COPY OF SERVICE FORM STATES FAILED 3RD PRESSURE SWITCH. DIAGNOSE AND REPLACED FAILED 3RD PRESSURE SWITCH. COMPLETED UNDER WARRANTY FOR FAILURE. This problem is solved, the engine light is responding normally.
