Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving my brand new 2006 honda civic ex with less than 10,000 miles on it when the car all of a sudden dies. i was in the middle of traffic and the car just stops in the middle of the road with no warning. i tried to start the car but it just would not start. if i was on the freeway or going into a turn i believe that i could have been seriously injured or i could have injured someone else. took the car to the san francisco dealership (great dealership) and they said that the bolt tensioner broke, "how is it possible to break a bolt, it was very thick?". they replaced the bolt and water pumpthe ,car runs fine, but i still wory that that this can happen again at any time. *nm
