Engine siezed, Honda refuses to honor warranty. Alternately claims low oil which is incorrect, and no oil light was indicated, or aftermarket air intake system in clear violation of magunusson - moss. Escalation to Honda hq has resulted in no response. Safety issue: If this had occured at highway speed, the rear wheels would have imediately locked up causing loss of control and associated accident/injury.
