There's an electrical issue that is affecting the A/C connection. The compressor belt won't turn and it's due to the electrical issue. The fuse box over heats and turns on the "Check engine" light. Most Hondas have this same A/C issue but the problem is the faulty fusebox and fuses that are causing electrical issues to the rest of the car making it dangerous to drive.

DEALERSHIP BOUGHT USED CAR CATCHES FIRE AFTER JUST TWO DAYS OF PURCHASE: I BOUGHT A USED CAR WITH NO WARRANTY ON IT FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP EXACTLY TWO DAYS AGO. WHILE DRIVING ON THE SECOND DAY OF PURCHASE, THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN AND FUMES STARTED TO COME OUT OF THE CAR RIGHT AND AS I STOPPED THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FLAMES BEGAN TO FLICKER OUT OF THE ENGINE BAY AND WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO, THE ENTIRE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FIRE! I WAS ABLE TO CALL 911 AND GET OUT OF THE CAR IN TIME, BUT THE CAR'S GONE, COMPLETELY. I AM THINKING THAT THERE MAY BE SOME FAULTS IN THE CAR THAT WERE NOT SPECIFIED IN THE CAR FAX REPORT FROM THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THIS IS NOT AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE THAT A CAR SETS IN FIRE. NOW, AS MY INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER THIS TYPE OF FIRE DAMAGE (LIABILITY INSURANCE) I AM STUCK BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE AND I DEALER IS NOT READY TO CO-OPERATE. THIS IS A BIG FINANCIAL LOSS FOR ME AND I AM SEEKING HELP TO RECOVER SUCH BIG LOSS. THE EXPERIENCE WAS VERY TRAUMATIZING FOR ME AS WELL FOR MY GIRLFRIEND WHO WAS WITH ME. THIS HAS DEFINITELY LEFT US WITH PTSD.

TAKATA RECALL A ACCIDENT BUT AIRBAG DIDN'T USE, AND THEN I REPAIRED THE CAR, REPLACED THE DOOR. YESTERDAY I WENT TO DEALER TO SELL MY CAR, THEY TOLD ME THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT IS NOT MINE, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED, AND MY ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICULAR AUDIO SYSTEM CABLE DOESN'T WORK TOO. MY FRIEND WAS INJURED AND WENT TO EMERGENCY ROOM, IT COSTED THOUSAND OF DOLLARS.

HIT A RUT, HOLE, SHALLOW. LIGHTS FOR AIRBAG(NEAR STEERING FRONT) WENT OFF. AIRBAG DID NOT ENGAGE. I WAS DOING A U-TURN, TURNING RIGHT OFF HIGHWAY AND THEN LEFT FOR U-TURN IN FRONT OF A GAS STATION. WHY THE STATION HAD LEFT A HAZARD FOR CUSTOMERS TO RUN IN TO AS I DID, A TURN, I DON'T UNDERSTAND. LOUD NOISE FROM RIGHT FRONT, AND BEFORE COMPLETED MY TURN. SOUND CAME AS I WAS TURNING.

TAKATA RECALL I HAD AN AIR BAG RECALL BACK IN 2016. I NOTICED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THE CAR IS ALWAYS GIVING ME PROBLEMS. FOR EXAMPLE THE LIGHT INSIDE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLE WORKS WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE WORKING. SECOND THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDOW MOTOR I ALREADY CHANGED IT 3 TIMES AND IT'S STILL GIVING ME TROUBLE. I ALREADY SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY I GAVE UP ON TRYING TO FIX IT. ALSO I ALREADY LOST COUNT ON HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE CHANGED MY BRAKES MINDING THAT I HARDLY DRIVE MY CAR. IN ADDITION MY GAS NEVER LAST EITHER NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF GAS I PUT. TRIED ALL OF THEM AND IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY PROMISED ME I WOULD SPEND LESS GAS BUT THAT WAS NOT TRUE.
