Consumer Description

I WAS PASSING A CAR ON THE EXPRESSWAY DOING 75 MPH AND THE ENGINE SENT AN ERRANT SIGNAL TO THE SPARK PLUG CAUSING IT TO GRENADE . THIS SENT PIECES INTO THE ENGINE DESTROYING IT. THIS HAPPENED WITH ONLY 47000 MILES ON THE 3.0 VTEC V6 MOTOR. THE FIRST MOTOR BLEW THE EXACT SAME WAY. THE PREVIOUS YEAR I WAS STUCK IN A SNOW BANK SO I WAS PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE THEN REVERSE TO ROCK THE CAR OUT OF THE SNOW BANK AND THE ENGINE SENT AN ERRANT SIGNAL TO THE SPARK PLUG CAUSING IT TO GRENADE . THIS SENT PIECES INTO THE MOTOR DESTROYING IT. HONDA REPLACED THE FIRST MOTOR BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY BUT WOULDN'T REPLACE THE SECOND MOTOR BECAUSE IT WASN'T UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENED WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON THE MOTOR. I WAS FORCED TO PURCHASE A USED CAR SO I COULD GET TO WORK AND THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T GIVE ME ANYTHING FOR TRADE-IN FROM THEIR PIECE OF JUNK ACCORD. *TR
