That car doesn't sound well at all.

I'd invest in a cheap digital camera (or cell/camera phone) and photograph it each time it occurs. Pull over to the side of the road and the next opportunity, write down the conditions and snap a photo of it. Then show them to Honda.

Depending on what state you are in, you may need to document these incidents, just in case you qualify for a lemon-law settlement.

BTW, I've had my '04 HCH MT, for 83k miles now with no problems.

I've replaced the filters, the oil, other fluids and had to replace the tires and the 12v battery. I've never had a tank below 42 or so, during the first winter after I purchased the car.

Good luck!
