Apr 2017 161000 mi US $250	Very quiet sort of hollow rubbing noise first was heard in January, had to turn radio and climate control off to hear. Oil analysis indicated no wear issues. Noise eventually grew loud enough in April to be heard over radio, did not have complete failure replaced before further issue. Not original part no info on water pump, but replaced failing water pump, poor radiator air flow may have been factor in failure due to constantly elevated operating temperatures. UPDATE: Radiator and condenser performing normally, no airflow restriction aside very bottom of bumper exposes condenser which is common on Honda. Elevated temperatures and lackluster AC performance solved with fan replacement as mentioned in next entry. Accessory belt tensioner also possibly dragging, preemptively replaced. Radiator will be replaced soon on separate repair. (Update: Radiator not replaced, in acceptable condition, no leaks)
Sep 2017 167000 mi US $80	Driver side radiator fan hasn’t worked for over a year, was never an issue. Finally replaced, vast difference when AC is on at idle. Took less than an hour, wouldn’t let me report as such. Swapped entire fan assembly.

Aug 2012 20600 mi	They still aren't sure what is wrong as it's a slow ooze of oil on the side of the engine, possibly near the oil filter area. Occurs too slowly for Acura (160 mi away) to reproduce on their own. Will see if local Honda can find ooze earlier

Oct 2021 51000 mi US $5	Cat heat shield bolts rusted away again. Used large hose clamps to just hold it securely in place rather than replacing the entire thing, again. Was noticed that flex pipe has also rusted through on most of one end, so that repair will have to be decided soon.
