Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I PURCHASED A NEW 2005 HONDA S2000 IN AUGUST OF 2005. I DROVE THE CAR SUMMERS UNTIL AUGUST 2009 ACCUMULATING 13,700 MILES. THE CAR WAS SERVICED EXCLUSIVELY AT PORTER HONDA IN CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS. ON AUGUST 28, 2009 THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE AS I WAS DRIVING IT NEAR MY HOME IN WATERTOWN, MASSACHUSETTS. FLAMES ESCAPED FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE CAR AND THE PASSENGER CABIN FILLED WITH BLACK SMOKE. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ESCAPED THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED, EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND FILED A REPORT OF THE INCIDENT. I APPLIED TO PORTER HONDA FOR ASSISTANCE. I WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIRE WHICH WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I THEN APPLIED TO HONDA MOTOR COMPANY IN AMERICA AND JAPAN. I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE NO CAUSE OF THE FIRE HAD BEEN DETERMINED, THEY HAD NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FIRE AND REFUSED ANY COMPENSATION. HONDA MANUFACTURES CARS WITH A POTENTIALLY DEADLY DEFECT AND REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. *TR
