While driving 60 MPH a fire started in the engine. Consumer managed to pull over, and had the vehicle towed. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
I bought a used 2002 acura rsx type-s from fiesta dodge in san antonio, tx on october 3, 2005. They said they did a full 101 point inspection on the vehicle. The vehicle had only approximately 48,000 miles. I had the vehicle for 38 days and had put less than 3,000 miles on it when I noted power loss in the upper RPM band.
