Reported at 4,411 miles, September 2017 Injury

I was driving on the freeway and the engine began losing power. Soon after, multiple warning lights on the dash lit up. I barely had enough power to clear the busy freeway. The car was towed to autonation honda in chandler, az, where the technician discovered fuel in the oil. He said honda was aware of the problem on this 1.5 turbo engine, but no fix existed. He changed the oil and released the car back to me. After just a few minutes online, I discovered the history of this particular engine issue.
