Consumer Description

WATER PUMP PULLEY/TENSIONER QUIT AT 70 MPH. PUMP AND TENSIONER WERE REPLACED. SIX MONTHS LATER, CAR QUIT AGAIN, SAME THING. ONLY THIS TIME THE BOLT THAT MOUNTS THE TENSIONER SHEARED OFF IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. HONDA HAS RECALLED THIS VEHICLE IN 2006 AND 2007 FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. (SERVICE BULLETIN 248422 AND 248421) AND ACTION NUMBER NHTSA 10026791. NO RECALLS FOR 2008 YET. THEY HAVE REPLACED (UNDER SOME KIND OF WARRANTY) THE ENGINE BLOCK AND THE WATER PUMP/PULLEY/TENSIONER CAUSED BY THE SECOND BREAK DOWN. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR 2008, AS WELL. HONDA NEEDS TO PAY FOR MY FIRST REPAIR, AS WELL. *TR
