Consumer Description

I WAS PASSING A CAR ON THE EXPRESSWAY DOING 75 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SENT TOO STRONG A CURRENT TO THE SPARK PLUG WHICH GRENADED IT. THIS SENT PIECES INTO THE ENGINE DESTROYING IT. THE ENGINE IS HONDA'S 3.0 VTEC V6. THE ENGINE HAD LESS THAN 50000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE FIRST ENGINE BLEW THE SAME WAY WHEN THE MOTOR GRENADED THE SPARK PLUG AT 53000 MILES. HONDA REPLACED THE FIRST ENGINE BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. HONDA OF CASPER WYOMING WOULD NOT REPLACE THE SECOND MOTOR BECAUSE THE FACTORY WARRANTY WAS UP. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR THEM NOT TO STAND BY A MOTOR WHEN IT HAS LESS THAN 50000 MILES AND THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE FIRST ENGINE AND MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. I WAS FORCED TO BUY A USED CAR SO I COULD GET TO WORK AND WAS NOT GIVEN ANY TRADE IN VALUE. I EVEN HAD TO PAY FOR THE TEAR DOWN ON THE BLOWN MOTOR . *TR
