Sounds to me like a lot of subsequent exaggeration resulting from an unpleasant experience with the car/dealer.
Stranded at night on the highway, no phone, only a quarter for a taxi call, only to be stood up - what, no vampire or axe murderer?
A dealer employee encouraging her to attempt to sell the car for a premium after the odometer has been zeroed? I don't think so.
An isolated claim about a fuel gauge isn't enough to tarnish Honda's well-earned reputation.
