What owners wrote

Since owning this car january 2003, the following has happened to it: ABS harness caught on fire (car was saved, but honda refused to give me another car after writing them), radio has gone out, clock gone out, trouble starting vehicle - this is apparently a fuel pressure regulator - tech notice but no recall. The front brakes were silently recalled only if you state your having problems. This car has been one big problem.
