I am a regular reader of rec.autos.makers.honda and I had never heard of it. So I did a Google search and found only 9 times where it has come up in the history of Usenet. Five of these times it was you who raised the issue. Only once was the issue raised by a Honda owner who actually had the problem. At least twice it was mentioned that the problem affected only a tiny number of cars. It certainly wasn't a "major problem." |
