Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN GOING HOT SINCE NOVEMBER 2013. I HAVE REPLACED THE WATER PUMP, RADIATOR, FAN SWITCHES, HEAD GASKET, VALVE GASKET SEAL/COVER, ENGINE. WHEN I'M SITTING IDLE IN TRAFFIC FOR A WHILE IT WILL RUN HOT OR AT LEAST APPEAR TO RUN HOT BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO HOT. I HAVE READ A FEW BLOGS AND SPOKEN TO A HONDA SPECIALIST AND HE CONFIRMED WHAT I READ ABOUT CIVICS RANGING FROM 2001 TO 2004 ARE NOTORIOUS FOR RUNNING HOT. I WAS TOLD THAT YOU HAVE TO REPLACE EVERYTHING LIKE THE WATER PUMP OR RADIATOR AS WELL AS THE HEAD GASKET AT THE SAME TIME TO STOP THIS FROM REOCCURRING. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. I JUST WANT HONDA TO BE TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY BECAUSE IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND A RECALL SHOULD BE CREATED. THESE ARE SOME OF THE BLOGS I HAVE READ. THANK YOU.
