Consumer Description

I WAS SOLD A 2016 HONDA CIVIC ON THE DAY (JANUARY 29, 2016) THAT AMERICAN HONDA NOTIFIED NHTSA OF A 'STOP-SALE' AND I AM FORCED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT MAY HAVE A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING DEFECT UNTIL THEY FIX IT. HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD A VEHICLE WITH A SAFETY CONCERN AS GREAT AS ENGINE FAILURE.
