What owners wrote
The line for power steering began leaking and caught fire and I had to replace the line at my expense. I could not get help from the dealer at that time. I have my receipt for the line that was about$149.00 to replace.
When I first purchased my honda, it was brought back to the dealer several times for a "shaking" at certain speeds. This was dismissed over and over and blamed on tire air pressure and alignment. I knew this could not be the cause and found other honda drivers complaining about the same issue. Recently, the passenger side tire came disengaged while driving the vehicle causing the car to crash down on the rotor.
