| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought a 2002 civic si brand new. the shift linkage was grinding at 3000 mi. i went to the dealer but never had it fixed. at about 16000 miles it was running funny so i took it to burne honda and they said it was over-revved. the 2002-2005 honda civic si and 2002-2005 acura rsx k series engine is seriously defected. the rsx was 6th on the lemon law list. honda has thus far refused to repair the damage. there are cases of the connecting rods blowing through the motor and spilling oil on the exhaust resulting in fires. this is a serious issue this is happening to a lot of the owners of k-series powered vehicles and is dangerous if a rod bends on the highway and there is no place to pull over. honda is covering up a defective engine design. *jb |
