Reported at 25,000 miles, July 2016 Fire

I was driving down a steep hill about a block from my homewhen all of the "trouble" lights came on. I immediately tuned around and the engine power was so low that I barely made it the block home. I parked and called honda service. Whe I found out that since my car had 47,000 miles on it and honda towing would cost $160, I had the car towed by a local service for $100 to the dealer.
