Consumer Description

ORIGINAL OEM SPARK PLUG CRACKED AND PIECES FELL INTO THE CYLINDER. THE CAR HAD A SEVER MISFIRE, LOSS OF POWER AND I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OFF OF THE ROAD. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THE CAR WAS TOWED TO SAID THE CYLINDER WAS DAMAGED AND THE ENGINE SHOULD BE REPLACED. HONDA OF AMERICA BASICALLY SAID THAT THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT THEY DID NOT WARRANTY THEIR ENGINES PAST 3 YEARS 36,000 MILES. EVEN THOUGH THE SPARK PLUG WAS WELL UNDER IT'S RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT TIME, IT FAILED AND CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION.
