What owners wrote
I took my honda accord e6 into darrell waltrip honda for a recall to repair a power steering hose. I picked the car up and returned 27 miles on the interstate directly to my home. I was told the repair procedure was to take 5 hours plus oil change but it actually took less than 60 - 90 minutes. I parked the car in my garage and went upstairs into the house. About 12 minutes later the alarms went off and I found the garage and car in flames with heavy smoke.
Within 4 months following the last two oil changes, the low oil pressure light will come on while driving. Oil is two qts low. No indication of leak, burning or in radiator. Not sure why using oil with no indication. Mechanic states it is normal to use oil and needs to be added between oil changes.
