Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25MPH ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET WHEN I SMELLED RUBBER BURNING AND THEN MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A TRUSTED FRIEND'S SHOP TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THEN TO FIX IT. WE FOUND THAT THE TENSIONER BOLT WAS BROKEN. OUR MECHANIC HAS DONE LOTS OF RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND THAT OTHER OWNERS OF 2006 HONDA CIVICS ARE ALSO HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. HE IS IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO REPLACE THIS BOLT. I ONLY HAVE 75,000 MILES ON THIS HONDA AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS FAIRLY NEW CAR. I HOPE IT CAN BE FIXED. *TR
