Consumer Description

DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN SHE NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE; LUCKILY SHE WAS NEAR THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM AND DROVE TO IT. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED MY HUSBAND TO INFORM HIM THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED. THIS 2006 HONDA CIVIC WAS PURCHASED ON JULY 25, 2009 AND HAS THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM A LITTLE OVER A YEAR LATER (8/3/10) AT 50,140 MILES!! IRONICALLY MY HUSBAND BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE HE WANTED TO PROVIDE OUR TEENAGE DAUGHTER WITH A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE! WE ARE AWAITING TO HEAR IF DEALERSHIP WILL BE ABLE TO GET HONDA TO PAY FOR THIS. AFTER READING SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS 1 WEBSITE, THEY BETTER OR I WILL BE CONTACTING EVERY MEDIA OUTLET UNTIL WE GET SATISFACTION! *TR
