Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH MY WIFE'S 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY BEGAN TO SHAKE AS I STEPPED ON THE GAS THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE LOST ENGINE POWER AND I HAD TO MANUALLY STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY.. UPON OPENING THE HOOD I COULD SMELL THAT SOMETHING WAS BURNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED 79 MILES TO MY MECHANIC. I WAS INFORMED THAT A SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT COMPLETELY AND A PORTION OF THAT PLUG ENTERED THE CYLINDER AND DAMAGED THE ENGINE. THE ENTIRE THREADING OF THE SPARK PLUG WAS DAMAGED AND MELTED INTO THE ENGINE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR
