Consumer Description

I AM FILING A REPORT DUE TO OIL THAT WAS LEAKED ONTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM OF MY CAR AND RESULTED IN MY CAR CATCHING ON FIRE. THIS DAMAGE HAS BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO OIL FILTER GASKETS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY REMOVED. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA, AND THEY HAVE ONLY OFFERED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A LETTER EXPLAINING THAT IT IS BEST TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGE AT THEIR DEALERSHIP. I FEEL IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT TO HAVE A CAR MODEL THAT IS PRONE TO OIL FILTER GASKETS STICKING, ONLY TO RESULT IN OIL LEAKAGES AND FINALLY CAR FIRES. SUCH PRACTICES ARE NOT ONLY DANGEROUS, BUT IT IS UNETHICAL TO MARKET A PRODUCT TO THE PUBLIC THAT POSES SUCH DANGER. FURTHERMORE, NOT ALL HONDA BUYERS ARE NOTIFIED. I BOUGHT MY HONDA USED, AND NEVER RECEIVE AND SUCH LETTERS OR UPDATES, BEING UNKNOWINGLY EXPOSED TO HARM. I'M OUTRAGED. *TR
