Consumer Description

THE BOLTS TO THE EXHAUST FLANGES AND FLANGES BEFORE AND AFTER THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ARE TOTALLY RUSTED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED ACCORDING TO THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE BOLTS BREAK THIS MAY CAUSE THE REAR OF THE CAR TO BECOME AIRBORNE . FURTHERMORE THE RUSTING OF THE BOLTS AND FLANGES SHOULD HAVE BEEN PICKED UP BY THE HONDA TECHS LONG BEFORE THE BOLTS AND FLANGES GOT TO THIS HAZARDOUS CONDITION. *TR
