| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was on a highway during the day. air condition on. cruise control off. i've been driving 45-60 minutes at 60-70 mph. engine temp never changed. no indication that a failure was going to happen. the van lost speed and felt like it was stalling. check engine light was on. tried to pump the gas pedal but no power. i started to slow down and had to pull over the shoulder. engine was still on and i can still rev rpms on park. i waited a min or two before i put it into drive but not able to get power from the engine. i couldn't get rpms up on drive. fastest i could go was about 5 mph with the gas pedal to the floor. the van kept jerking back and forth while i tried to get off the freeway. i called for a tow truck. the tow truck driver looked at the car after i explained what happened but nothing could be done to correct the failure. he loaded the van onto his flat bed and went to his service office to pick up another car that was ahead of us. he eventually had to take the van off the bed to wait for another tow truck. from the time the my van had the mechanical failure to the point where the van was taken off the truck to wait for another tow truck about 3 1/2 hours passed. the tow truck driver told me to move my car closer to their office about 20 yards away since my van can still run. at that time i noticed that the engine seems different. i tested it driving up and down road and it's as if nothing happened to the engine. the check engine was still on but the van was running fine. i was able to drive it back home with no problem. i brought the van to a honda service center they told me that they couldn't find out what caused the failure. all they were able to find out was that there was multiple misfire codes 71-1, 74-1, 75-1, 76-1 and #1, #4, #5, #6 cylinders. they said there's nothing to repair because the van checked out okay except for the check engine light which they reset and the error codes they got from the honda diagnostic system. *jb |
