Went to start the car, turned the key & got an awful rattling sound then the engine died. Called the dealership, they thought it was the AC Relay. Had the car towed into the dealership that Monday, they changed the AC Relay, then called & said it was the starter & would be a couple of days to fix. I called to check on the progress & they told me the engine had seized & they had ordered a new engine, would be a few more days.
Got the rental car, called to check progress again & found out that then engine was in but part of the transmission had seized & that the car had no coolant in it when they checked it. We got the car back after a week & it was fine & all covered by the warranty but not what you expect from a car with only 2252 miles on it!

The dealer refuses to exchange the engine. We have only had the vehicle 4 months and 4 K miles when the check engine light came on. The engine started to balk , we pulled over and called the dealer. They did immediately provide for towing service. I had to suggest to them they pull the oil pan and check the bearings . They have agreed to an extended warranty but now I have a rebuilt engine top in a 4 month old vehicle. The service manager told I should be pleased I now had an almost new engine. They did run repairs by the Honda area representative.
