problem #2

Jan 192005

Civic 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,000 miles
1998 Honda CRV, with about 100,000 milage, engine light came on. Repaired the distributor sensor. Took it back four more times and the engine light continue to stay on. A week later, took it in to deale for a diagnostic, valve #3 & 4, needed to be replaced, they recommended a new cylinder head. Notified Honda manufacturer and they decided to pay half of the cost. I have always taken good care of my car, and have the invoices to proof it. I think Honda knows there is a manufacturing problem and should be responsible for the complete repair cost. I am still paying on my car and this is a financial burden for me and my family.
