Consumer Description

A SPARK PLUG ON THE THIRD CYLINDER BLEW OUT AND STRIPPED THE THREADS ON THE CYLINDER. THE BLOW OUT CAUSED AN ELECTRODE TO BREAK OFF AND DAMAGED ONE OF THE VALVES. I MADE HONDA AMERICA AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ASKED THEM TO HONOR A "GOODWILL" WARRANTY SINCE, DESPITE BEING TWO YEARS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY, MY CAR ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL OF CAR. HONDA REFUSED. THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS WILL LIKELY BE $4,000.
