| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The check engine light came on. my husband took the car to a local automotive shop and was told that the o2 sensor had gone out. upon further review, the mechanic found that there was a crack in the manifold and that i would cost about $1000 to repair. my husband paid $190 to have the o2 sensor replaces but was told that the o2 sensor may fail again due to the crack. the mechanic states that when he phoned a local honda dealership to obtain a price quote on the parts the lady who answered the phone finished his sentence. the mechanic also said to me that this is a recurring problem that they have seen in honda vehicles. this appears to be a defect in the vehicle as the same problem is happening at dealerships as well as other mechanic shops. this problem should be corrected at honda's expense. *jb |
