Consumer Description

I HAVE A 98 HONDA CIVIC LX, IT SEEMS THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON THESE CARS ARE DEFECTIVE THEY CRACK AND THE GAS EMISSIONS ARE CIRCULATED TO THE CABIN OF THE AUTOMOBILE. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD SHOULD NOT CRACK ON NORMAL USE. CARBON MONOXIDE CO COULD LEAK TO THE CABIN OF THE CAR, AND IS POISONOUS TO HUMANS AND CHILDREN. THERE ARE A LOT OF HONDA CIVICS OUT HERE WITH CRACK EXHAUST MANIFOLD, IT IS HARD TO FIND THE CULPRIT, BECAUSE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS COVERED WITH A METAL COVER, BUT YOU WILL NOTICE THE SMELL INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE CAR, WHEN THE CAR IS AT RUNNING. THE NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE ON THIS DEFECTIVE. *TR
