TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE FAILURE.

THE MECHANIC FLUSHED THE COOLING SYSTEM AND THE CONTACT DROVE TO HER RESIDENCE. A FEW DAYS LATER, SHE WANTED A SECOND OPINION AND DROVE TO A HONDA DEALER. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE HEAD GASKET. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAS SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS TO CONFIRM THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.
