Attention!!! all Pilot/oddy/ridgeline/3. 5 v6 Honda owners. Check your plugs and coils just wanted to get the word spread around there is a serious issue with the Honda 3. 5 v6 engine which can lead to serious damage to the cylinder head and possibly the entire engine. I didn't learn of this until recently, when the spark plug in the #5 cylinder shot out of the head and destroyed the coil, and trashed the threads. I found a bunch of different people this has happened to, and all of the results aren't good. The extended warranty which was through Honda care denied my claim because they said it was damage from the spark plug and they don't cover spark plugs. What a load. If they want to play that game, what the heck would they ever have to cover? sorry sir, there's a short in your electrical system but it's because of the insulation in the wires and we don't cover damage from the insulation. . . Grrrrrr. . . So I called Honda and we'll see if they can do something for us as loyal Honda customers - I even mentioned that we've got a Honda crv. . . Sigh. . . Honda has a duty to manufacture and sell safe vehicles and to fix or pay for safety defects in its vehicles," "instead, Honda has refused to acknowledge any responsibility for the alleged defect and forced its customers to pay for the repairs out of their own pockets. Like yours truly, engine blown and now I own money on a car that I can not drive. I want to start a class action lawsuit but without a supporting incident I would not be able to do this please responds to this message.

The catalytic converter was replaced on the vehicle at around 60k. The check emission light was going on and off the past few weeks (starting in July 2012). Took the vehicle to the dealer. Now at around 90k (August 2012), the replaced catalytic converter needs repairs (approximately $1000 in repairs). Why is the vehicle having problems again with the catalytic converter? shouldn't the life of the catalytic converter be more than 30k-60k?.
