Consumer Description

COMPLETE LOSS OF OIL WHILE ON HIGHWAY - I LATER FOUND OUT THIS WAS THE FAILURE OF THE BALANCE SHAFT, WHICH HAD BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL SINCE 1996. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP (THE DEALER WAS TOO FAR AWAY TO HAVE IT TOWED THERE). THEY DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED THE PROBLEM (ALL MY BELTS AND HOSES HAD TO BE REPLACED INCLDING TEH TIMING BELT) TO THE TUNE OF $565.45. SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR (NEW) I HAD IT FAITHFULLY SERVICED AT THE DEALER. SINCE THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND I REGULARLY HAD MY CAR SERVICED WITH THIS HONDA DEALER, WHY DIDN'T THEY ALERT ME AND HAVE THE RESTAINING CLIP INSTALLED? THIS COST ME $565.45 AND PUT ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (TO AVOID BLOWING OUT THE ENGINE). NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE NOT HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT A HONDA DEALER SINCE THIS INCIDENT. I BELIEVE I DESERVE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS EXPENSE BY HONDA. *AK
