Description of the problem	While my son was driving the car in portland, oregon, at highway speeds the engine cut out making control of the vehicle very difficult. The car was returned to the honda dealer where the problem was diagnosed as (mechanics report) "compression gaskets on plug 1 & 2 are stuck on the top threads, allowing the plugs to be tightened but compression is passing by the washer and into the spark plug tube." "coils one and two had heat damage and carbon tracking." four spark plugs replaced along with coils for plugs 1 & 2. The car would not accelerate and "was in limp mode " when driven back to the honda dealer. Spark plugs are rarely changed these days - appears to have been a factory defect.
