NHTSA Complaint #10839167 — 2016 HONDA CIVIC

I LEASED A BRAND NEW 2016 HONDA CIVIC ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2016 AND DROVE OFF THE LOT WITH 5 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 2016, MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS OTHER INDICATORS ON THE CAR, I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE OR PROPERLY OPERATE THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND CALLED THE DEALER WHO TOWED THE CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I AM BEING TOLD THAT IT IS A LOW COMPRESSION PROBLEM IN THE CYLINDERS AND THAT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE ROCKER ARM NOT THAT IT IS PART OF THIS PISTON PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO THINK AT THIS POINT. THEY ARE KEEPING MY CAR UNTIL WEDNESDAY. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER TO SEE IF MY CAR WAS PART OF THE STOP SALE ORDER. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I DRIVE MY GRANDCHILD ON A DAILY BASIS AND DO NOT WANT TO LOSE ENGINE POWER AND I WILL HAVE THIS CAR FOR 3 MORE YEARS.
