Consumer Description

I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2016 CIVIC 1.5T EX-L WITH 1,000 MILES AND A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. WE NOTICED THE ENGINE OIL ALL OVER OUR GARAGE. IT'S BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE, PROBABLY SINCE WE GOT IT, BUT WE DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL TODAY THAT THE OIL WAS COMING FROM OUR BRAND NEW CAR. AFTER OUR OWN INVESTIGATION, WE RULED OUT ALL OF OUR OTHER CARS AND TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP TODAY.
