Consumer Description

WE ONLY RECEIVED ONE WARNING THE ENGINE OVERHEATED FOR NO REASON THEN WE FOUND OUT WE HAD A DEFECTIVE ENGINE FROM HONDA IN A 2008 CIVIC. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED BUT THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A DEFECTIVE ENGINE BLOCK IN THE HONDA CIVIC 2008, 2007, AND 2006 SO HOW DO WE KNOW IF WE DID OR DID NOT RECEIVE ANOTHER BLOCK WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS COULD OVERHEAT AND CAUSE A FIRE. WE WERE NOT GIVEN A NEW WARRANTY ON THE REPLACED ENGINE. WE WERE NOT REIMBURSED ON EXPENSES TO RENT A CAR, AND FLY BACK TO PICK UP CAR AND TOWING. *TR
