Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE BALANCER SHAFT SEAL BROKE AND ALL THE OIL LEAKED OUT OF THE ENGINE. THIS CAUSED THE CAMSHAFT TO CRACK, RESULTING IN MY HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. HONDA AGREED TO SPLIT THE COST OF THE ENGINE 50/50, BUT I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE PAID THE TOTAL BILL, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM, AND HAVE SINCE UPDATED THE SEAL, AND ARE NOW PUTTING A GUARD/PLATE ON THE SEAL TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. PLEASE INFORM AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER AS I WAS ON INTERSTATE 95 IN NEW JERSEY, AND LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AFTER LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE CAM BROKE. THIS COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE, AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *AK
