   The vehicle was stalled on highway local about seven times. My car got stranded and almost got into serious accidents. This happened multiple times and Honda couldn’t fix it. I spent $9000 and couldn’t find the problem. Honda changed fuel injectors, pump, regulator, high pressure. But the car is still stranded on highway which is very dangerous
