![]() The fact that this was caused by an error in the fuel rail design from the factory indicates the problem likely has been causing damage and posing a safety risk of possible engine fire from the leaking fuel injector the entire 5,000 miles of ownership. The vehicle was purchased new 2 months ago and currently has apx 5,000 miles. The dealer then advised that they could not make any repair until the redesigned fuel rail was released a month from now. The dealer stated Honda was aware of the issue also in 2018 models and they assumed they would have corrected the fuel rail design for the 2019 model. The injector leak caused too much fuel to be put into the cylinder causing the spark plugs to fowl out. Upon evaluation the dealer advised that the issue was a leaking fuel injector caused by a faulty fuel rail design from the factory. The dealer was contacted and advised having the car towed in to be evaluated. The vehicle was then briefly put into drive for a couple inches forward back into the garage with very little power on acceleration and an even stronger burning smell. The vehicle was briefly put into a slow reverse to take it out of the garage and a very rough idle started, black smoke appeared out of the tail pipe and every possible error message appeared one after the other on the dash. Upon startup of the vehicle, a strong burning smell was sensed. It scares us that the car seems so innocently normal again. However, although the problem has seemed to have 'gone away' for now, we do not know when or where it may occur again. After a few minutes in a nearby parking lot, when we started the car again, the check engine light was gone, and the accelerator started working normally. We thought we were going to be crushed to death at that moment. Honestly, no words can dare to express the fear and dread of imminent death we experienced that time. We were under extreme danger and stress from this incident as it happened in the middle of the road and we were extremely close to colliding with other cars. We barely made it to the next exit, where we had to park at the nearest gas station to check what was going on. To make matters worse, the accelerator did not work, so our car could only reach speed up to 25 miles per hour, much slower than the other cars honking and racing past us on the freeway. Suddenly, the car shook wildly for a moment and thick white smoke started to issue from the car. On December 19, 2018, the day after we had the maintenance and brake fluid repaired, we were driving the car on a freeway. ![]()
