What owners wrote
When the car was 2 weeks old, we returned from a drive and found the car would not shut off, even with the ignition in the "off" position and the key removed. The engine sounded as though it was trying to start itself, even though it was still running. I put the key back in and turned it to the "on" position, at which point the unusual noise disappeared, and the car seemed to idle normally. I turned it off again, and the noise returned as the car kept running.
Intake manifold cracked and fumes came into the vehicle. Contacted honda. It stated there were no problems with the vehicle.....alsi replaced spark plugs, and replaced a cracked exhaust manifold.
