Summary

I opened the hood to clean leaves collected at the drain. As with my other cars, I thought that the hood would remain in up position. It just suddenly came down with tremendous force. I almost had my hands crushed under the hand. I got lucky but driver's side viper arm broke at the end which I had to get replaced at my expense. I think that Honda should recall and install hood lift supports to prevent serious injury to persons.

Summary

While driving in heavy rain for most of the morning, I entered an interstate and attempted to pass a semi. The engine lost power as I moved into the center lane. I had to slow down and re-enter the far right hand lane as the engine trouble light began flashing and I had either very little power or too much power to keep the car in a steady state. This out me and my wife's safety at risk as the rain was heavy, and pulling over to the shoulder did not seem to be a good idea since I could keep the car in forward motion in some way. I pulled off at the next exit and we ate lunch and apparently the car reset as the engine light quit flashing and the car acted normally after that. The dealer was approached and said, since the light was off there was nothing they could do. A TSB is out that applies to this problem but the dealer said the manufacturer was contacted and declined a repair.

Summary

Incident 1: Car suddenly applied brakes while traveling at 60 MPH on the fast lane. There was no vehicle in the front for at least 50 ft. ahead. Incident2: Car suddenly applied brakes while traveling at about 40 MPH. Again no vehicle in the front for at least 100 ft. in the front. Worried about the vehicles colliding from the rear and the whiplash effect on the neck, because the braking was not expected. Contacted the dealer. First time I was told to bring it in for check up. I did not take it because I wanted to do it at the first oil change. Second time happened about 3 weeks ago. Contacted the dealer. Asked the dealer whether the safety feature can be turned off. He said he will get back to me next day. He never did. Sent a subsequent message "???" but no reply. Then I called this morning. He said he is with a client and will get back to me in 30 mins. He did not. Then I sent a message saying that I am disappointed with the after sales service with the dealership on this safety issue and that I will inform NTSB about this problem.
