THE MECHANIC CLAIMED THAT MY FUEL FILTER HAD WENT BAD, THAT THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO RECEIVE ANY GAS. FIRST OF ALL, I HAD NEVER HEARD OF A FUEL FILTER GOING BAD ESPECIALLY WITH THE MILEAGE ON Y CAR. HONDA SERVICE STATES TO REPLACE THE FILTER AROUND 75,000. SINCE I WAS NO WHERE NEAR 75K WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. ANYWAY, I HAD THE FUEL FILTER REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. AT THIS POINT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON SHOWING THERE WAS STILL A PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC THEN STATED THAT MY O2 SENSOR WENT BAD. SO, I REPLACED THE O2 SENSOR. THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED. MY CAR IS TOO YOUNG FOR THIS MANY ISSUES. MY CAR HAD A LITTLE OVER 60K BUT I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY 3 TIMES, REPLACED THE BALL BEARINGS, O2 SENSOR AND GAS FILTER. I FIND OUT TODAY THE BRAND NEW TIRES I PURCHASED FROM HONDA ARE NOT ANY GOOD AND THE BELT INSIDE THE TIRES ARE ALMOST BROKEN IN TWO. THANKS HONDA, I USE TO LOVE YOU. *TR

12 VOLT POSITIVE CONNECTION FOR BATTERY GET CORROSION. THE CONNECTION WAS COVERED BY PLASTIC COVER SO I COULD NOT SEE ANY DAMAGE UNTIL MY CAR DIDN'T START. I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE IT WAS HAPPENED AT MY GARAGE. HOWEVER, I AM VERY SCARED BY THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE, I DO NOT HAVE ANY PROTECTION WITHOUT BATTERY IF THE TERMINAL IS DISCONNECTED ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS PROBLEM IS THE SAME OR MORE DANGEROUS AS GM'S IGNITION KEY RECALL. PLEASE RESEARCH HOW MANY HONDA VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, AND HOW MANY PEOPLE GOT INJURY OR FATALITY AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE. *TR
