What owners wrote
Car caught on fire. Called fire department. Electrical fire due to a short in wiring harness. Consumer contacted dealer.
Distributor failed and caused the vehicle stop on the freeway. When I had the car fixed, the mechanic said all the hondas during this period have the same failure. One year later my 1990 honda civic had the distributor fail also. I am concerned that accidents are occurring because the distributor fails in heavt traffic. It is a manufacture defect. I was told the bearings are low quality and freeze up.
