Started throwing a code indicating the timing was out of spec. "DTC P0341: CMP Sensor A and CKP Sensor Incorrect Phase Detected" The blanket fix is to replace the VTC oil control solenoid, VTC actuator, cam chain and auto tensioner. I've always changed the oil on time with synthetic, including the filter everytime. I believe this defect is indicative of a larger quality issue in these engines. There is a TSB related to this even though it wasn't possible to prove it was the cause. A timing chain should not need to be replaced at the same frequency of a timing BELT.

We couldn't remove the key. They said there is an electric interlock that keeps you from removing key while driving. If we wanted that replaced it would be $249, or we could drive as is. We had them unplug it. Engine maintenance light on dash came on. Manual says it may be fuel cap. So today I bought a new cap. Time will tell if it fixed it.

CEL due to emission hose with a very small wear point. Honda wouldn't cover it so went to an independent. They dropped the tank, cut the hose, put in a double barb fitting and buttoned it up. Dealer cost (hose only sold with tank) would have been $1,200.

Sunroof was stuck open and would not close. Dealer took entire headliner down and dis-assembled the sunroof, removed the motor, manually closed the sunroof, and replaced the bad motor. Also disconnected power to sunroof so it cannot re-open. To replace the bad motor would have cost an extra $300. I never use the sunroof anyway, so I just had them put the bad motor back in.
