NHTSA Complaint #10690498 — 2009 HONDA CIVIC

I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 MANUAL HONDA CIVIC WITH A 55K ON IT AND THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS -20 F, ON THE HIGH WAY AT ABOUT 75 MPH, NOTHING WAS ABNORMAL ON MY DASHBOARD AND THE CAR WAS ON THE 5 TH TRANSMISSION THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED RESPONDING TO MY ACCELERATION AND THE ENGINE LIGHT BLINKED THREE TIMES BEFORE MY ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPPED, IT WAS FREEZING OUTSIDE AND THERE WAS A FROTH BITE WARNING. I PARKED SAFELY ON THE SIDE THANKS GOD THERE WERE NO MUCH OF A TRAFFIC ON THE HIGH WAY OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. I CHECKED MY BATTERY AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT, SO I CHECKED MY OIL WHICH I JUST CHANGED 10 DAYS AGO, I FOUND OUT THAT MY OIL CHECKING STICK IS COMPLETELY BURNT AND THE REMAINS WAS BLACK. AT THIS TIME I WAS SURE THAT IT SOMETHING BAD. I TOWED THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND ARRIVED SAFELY TO MY HOME. I CHECKED ONLINE ON MY WARRANTY AND RECALLS OR BULLETINS, I FOUND OUT THAT HONDA HAS THIS PROBLEM AND I CALLED THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME SORRY YOUR CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS BULLETIN, AN UNRESPONSIBLE CAR MANUFACTURER WHO PRODUCED AN ENGINE THAT FAILS IN 5 YEARS AFTER 55K AND DOESN'T CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY, NO COMMENT!!!!!. AS IF SAFETY IS THE LAST THING THAT MATTERS FOR THOSE COMPANIES, PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK AND CLAIMING NO RESPONSIBLY FOR THEIR PRODUCT.
