Consumer Description

MY BALANCER SHAFT OIL SEAL FAILED, AND PUMPED OUT ALL THE OIL IN MY ENGINE. I FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS PART OF AN ON GOING PRODUCT UPDATE. HONDA AMERICA AGREED THAT THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR TO THE SEAL, BUT THE TIMING BELT ALSO NEEDS REPLACEMENT DUE TO OIL SATURATION FROM THE FAILED OIL SEAL. THEY STATE THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THIS, AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $410 FOR THIS REPAIR! IN THE HONDA CAMPAIN, IT MANDATES A CHANGE OF THE TIMING BELT. I WILL NOT PAY FOR THIS, AND IF THE TIMING BELT FAILS DUE TO THE OIL, WILL HONDA BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACCIDENTS, DAMAGE, OR INJURY THIS MAY CAUSE? IF THE TIMING BELT SNAPS, I BELIEVE THAT I WOULD LOSE ANY POWER STEERING AND BRAKES BECAUSE THE ENGINE WOULD DIE.*AK
