Consumer Description

TOOK MY CAR IN FOR REGULAR SERVICE, IMMEDIATELY AFTER PICKING IT UP, CAR KEPT RATTLING & SPUTTERING. CAME BACK IN AND THEY STATED "SUDDENLY" THE MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED & THE BOLT FOR THE HEAT SHIELD WAS BROKEN OFF. LOOKED ONLINE & SAW THAT THERE ARE MANY MANY ISSUES WITH CRACKED MANIFOLDS WITH CIVICS, SO MUCH THAT A HANDFUL OF MODEL YEARS (BUT NOT MINE) WAS RECALLED. MINE IS JUST CONSIDERED OUT OF WARRANTY, & IS NOW A SAFETY (FUMES CAN CAUSE SICKNESS) & ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. GIVEN HOW I BABIED THIS CAR, THE ONLY REASON THIS WOULD HAVE CRACKED IS EITHER A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW/WEAKNESS (OR THE MECHANICS REALLY MESSED UP MY CAR). SINCE IT'S SUCH A MAJOR REPORTED (IGNORED) ISSUE, IT'S CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW.
