TAKATA RECALL..I'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING AND VSA LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON BUSY I95 WITH MY INFANT IN THE CAR NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS AFRAID AND I CALL HONDA IMMEDIATELY AND TOOK IT TO HONDA IN DE THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG, THE SECOND TIME IT ALSO HAPPENED ON THE ROAD I RETURNED TO HONDA AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT IT WAS LOW ON OIL WHICH WAS STRANGE BECAUSE I ONLY GET OIL CHANGES FROM HONDA, THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I RETURNED THE CAR BACK TO HONDA AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT IT WAS THE ENGINE AND IT WAS LEAKING OIL AND THE COST WOULD BE $3500. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A FEW HONDA OWNERS AND I FEEL IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE THIS IS A OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE OIL LEAKING AND ENGINE AND BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS INJURY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM IT SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY
