Consumer Description
ON JUNE 13TH, LESS THEN A MONTH AFTER IT WAS INSPECTED/SERVICED FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ON MAY 21ST, MY 3 YEAR OLD CAR BUSTS UP IN FLAMES. AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A RURAL ROAD ON A CLEAR DAY GOING ABOUT 65, A SPARK FLEW FROM THE ENGINE. THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF POWER TO THE CAR. LUCKILY WE PULLED OVER JUST IN TIME TO WATCH THE CAR GO UP IN FLAMES AND EXPLODE. I HAVE CONTACTED 3 DEALERSHIPS, INCLUDING THEIR SERVICE TEAM, HONDA FINANCIAL, HONDA GENERAL, AND THE HONDA PLANT IN INDIANA. EVERY ONE OF THEM HAS SHOWN NO COMPASSION OR INTEREST IN FINDING OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED. DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE TO DIE TO TAKE THIS SERIOUS? AND MY INSURANCE IS TAKING THEIR TIME SINCE IT IS A TOTAL LOSS.
