Luckily, a good samaritan helped us get safely off the main road and to a local hotel. We called Honda Roadside who informed us that even though my minivan was only 1.5 years old, we were not covered because we were over the mileage of the initial warranty (*by a small amount) and they could, for a charge, send a tow truck but was unable to help us to a safe location. In my opinion, if you want a safe reliable car, stay far away from Honda. My sister and uncle's Ford cars have over 200,000 miles and are still safely running. The car sensors also went crazy in the snow lighting up everywhere as it snowed outside. The dvd audio only plays the background sound or the movie being played and the rear doors stopped unlocking with the key and have difficulty opening. The car's downshift is also delayed so the whole transmission needs to be redone (Carmax employee said it could run $5,000 to fix). I read many reviews that said this same issue happens with their Honda cars including Odyssey and Pilot as well as other seal oil leaks. Honda said since it was over a year since the last time it happened (one month over a year) that it wasn't covered. He knew exactly what was wrong before I was even told by Honda service. AAA tow truck guy said he sees this very often with Honda's. This was not only dangerous because the car completely turned off as I was driving with my small children and infant in the car, but very costly at about $2,500 to fix both times.
