We had driven less than half a mile, and we’re sitting in traffic to turn when all of the warning lights came on and the van shut off. We restarted the car and the same thing happened. Then there was a popping noise and smoke began coming from under the hood. Within 2 minutes the van caught on fire. The entire engine compartment burned, as did the windshield and part of the dashboard.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND THE VEHICLE STARTED JERKING. I RUSHED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS MISFIRING AND THEY HAD TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE, REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS. THEY ALSO INFORMED THAT THE PISTON RINGS WERE LEAKING AND SOME OF THE ENGINE OIL WAS BURNT, I ALSO HEARD THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE THAT OTHERS HAD FACED, A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAD BEEN FILED WHERE HONDA HAD PROVIDED A WARRANTY EXTENSION AND NOT A RECALL, SO THE ISSUE WILL HAVE TO BE HANDLED BY ME. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND HONDA WAS NOT READY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

I WENT TO THE OURISMAN HONDA OF LAUREL SEVICE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE THEM TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM DUE TO A RECALL THAT I WAS INITIALLY UNAWARE OF. THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD FIX THE ISSUE AT NO COST. LATER, I RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL THAT STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM DUE TO THE CONVERSION OF THE VAN. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM WAS MOVED TO A DIFFERENT AREA WHEN THE VAN WAS CONVERTED TO A WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE VEHICLE. THEREFORE, THEY MADE CLAIMS TO NOT HAVE NORMAL ACCESS TO THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM. THEY HAVE NOW DECLARED THE RECALL REPAIRS TO BE NULL AND VOID. OURISMAN HODA OF LAUREL HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR, REPLACE OR REFUND THE EQUIPMENT OR PARTS.

VEHICLE JERKED LIGHTLY EACH AND EVERY TIME I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE VIBRATION IS MORE OBVIOUSLY WHEN VEHICLE CHANGED FROM STOP TO MOTION. HOWEVER, THE VIBRATION CAN STILL BE PERCEIVED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE FASTER THE CAR IS IN MOTION, THE LESS VIBRATION PERCEIVED. THE CAR RUNS SMOOTHLY IF IT IS RUNNING AT THE SPEED 60MPH OR MORE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CAR USED LIGHTLY, PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND ONLY HAS 35K ON IT. OIL CHANGES PERFORMED REGULARLY EVERY 3K, AIR FILTER CHANGED YEARLY. *TR

I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP IN MY VAN. I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FOR THE PROBLEM IN MY 2010 YEAR VAN. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR MY PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH SIDE POWER SLIDING DOORS WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO AND THEY ARE BOTH GOING TO NEED REPAIR AGAIN AS THE DOORS WILL NOT STAY CLOSED. THEY CLOSE ALL THE WAY AND THEN POP BACK OPEN LEAVING THEM ON AND THE OPEN DOOR SOUND INDICATORS REMAINS ON. ALSO WHEN TURNING, THE DOOR WILL CLOSE AND THEN OPEN BACK UP CREATING AIR TO COME THROUGH THE OPENINGS. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND VERY UNSAFE FOR OUR FAMILY TO TRAVEL IN. WE CAN'T EVEN TURN THE POWER OFF AND COMPLETELY CLOSE THE DOOR WITHOUT IT POPPING BACK OPEN. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM HONDA ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM.
