What owners wrote

Vehicle fire while engine was turned off and parked. The consumer had backed his car into the parking spot, and the tail pipe was jammed into the mulch. The blocking of the tailpipe caused the heat of the exhaust to start the mulch on fire spreading to the plastic bumper of the car and into the car. After the accident occurred it came to the consumer attention that the tail pipe was defective and the dealership should pay for all expenses and repairs made as a result.

July 2003 Fire

During the safety inspection the fairfax honda dealer informed front motor mount cracked and need replacement. Car mileage 85k. A month (2/21/2011) back, I had changed timing belt assembly with the same dealer but they didn't inform about motor mount condition. Yesterday (6/19/2013) the same dealer during the safety inspection service called to inform the van is failing the safety inspection due to rear engine mount crack.
