Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: In february 2004, i noticed a smell of exhaust fumes in the interior of the car. brought it to a mechanic 3 times. he said he didn't smell it, and could find nothing wrong with the car. i recently brought the car in to a new mechanic for servicing, and he informed me that the "exhaust manifold is cracked." i've been suffering some unexplained health problems, such as headaches, light headiness, and fatigue, and now wonder if the symptoms are related to long term exposure to the exhaust fumes. the mechanic suggested i contact the honda dealer to request that they fix the problem at no cost. however, the dealer informed me that the part(s) is only covered up to 80,000 mi. my vehicle currently has 82,000 mi. on it. as it is an expensive repair, it has not yet been fixed.*ak
