I agree, I would never get one. We have 2 years before it has to be smog tested again. I hope I can talk Lisa into getting something else.

So the drama continues.
Car started to get warmer than normal. Fan is not coming on high speed, they will run on low speed if I turn on the AC (also does not work)
Started the car and ran it up to temp with the radiator cap off and its bubbling. Have a chemical test that should be here tomorrow to test and see if it has exhaust gasses in the coolant.
The car is not loosing fluid and I did an oil change when this started to check the oil and there are no signs of coolant in the oil.

Not sure what is going on with the fan, Honda did some weird **** with the fan controllers and depending on the ECU, sensors and AC the fans will run in parallel or series depending on the temp.
At this point if the coolant test shows exhaust in the coolant the car is done, we will look for something else more reliable.

Seems that I will have to have someone come out and look at it.

At least I know that the key is not going to get stuck anymore.
I would cut our losses and get something else but its not my car.

Can I claim it as a Covid death and mandate we get a different car?
