We traveled down to Pittsburgh last week and had a very interesting trip. Late in ther evening traveling north from the city on the highway, all of a sudden, it felt like the Crosstour went from 6 cylinders to 3 or less. No power and some vibration but still running. The yellow engine light was on.... We pulled over, looked for leaks, broken things, bad smells,all the regular actions, but nothing. Called Honda Roadside Assistance. They said they would come and get us and take us to a Honda dealership closeby but it would be closed. They said we could continue to drive back to Meradvill, less than an hour but at reduced spead and power. We opted to keep going and made it home OK.
The next morning I caled the local dealer, Honda Cars of Meadville PA. and they said to bring it right in and They'd take a look at it. In no time they had it hooked up to the computer for the code read. Turns out the computer thought we were burning oil and shut down the engine to self-protect it. A notice from Honda was found and a software fix was in order which was done in short order.
I was on my way in about 2 hours, good as new, and drove home to VT the next day with no problems. One of the reasons I like the Crosstour is that it is a Honda and Honda stands behind it with great technology and outstanding dealers like Honda of Meadville!
Be sure to get your software update done!
