2004 Honda Civic engine problems

Info copy to NHTSA owner of 2004 honda civic engine compartment caught fire vehicle destroyed. The consumer noticed a smell coming through the air vents of the vehicle. Seconds later smoke started coming through the vents as well as rising from under the hood. Flames came from under the hood and the entire front end was engulfed in flames. The vehicle was only 3 months old at the time of the incident.

I recently had a problem with my honda pilot. We took it to auto zone and had them hook it up to their diagnostics machine. The code "p1399" resulted. However, we were told that we had to contact honda to find out what the code meant because it was a generic code that honda puts out. I contacted the dealer and asked what the code meant, and I was told that I had to bring my vehicle down to them to put it on their machine: for $95.00.
