Consumer Description

Driving at highway speeds when I notice a light rattling noise from front of car. Soon, light rattling turns to loud rattling and the check engine light comes on blinking. Slowed down and exited freeway as soon as possible and stopped at nearest gas station (right off freeway). Had vehicle towed to nearest Honda dealership for investigation of the problem. Upon investigation, service tech reported connecting rod damage to the crankshaft - recommend replacement engine.
