Description of the problem | Cover, engine (lower) unclipped from the front and bent back dragging under my car driving 70mph on interstate. I was 1/3 of the way of a 120 mile trip. I pulled over after feeling something dragging under my car. At first it felt like a blown tire. After pulling over i could see the sheet metal detached from the front (rear bolts still holding). I was fortunate enough to have a good samaritan stop and pull the bolts holding the part to my car which enabled me to continue on my trip. Went to a local dealership the following friday. Dealership told me it must have been related to my last oil change three months ago. Honda america hasn't opened a case after several phone calls. A part of a car shouldn't fall off. This was very scary and i am unsure how i safely changed lanes at such a high speed. I haven't replaced the part since i don't want to be stranded again. I travel on this interstate trip twice a week for last the 3 months. My friend who has the same car bought at the same time just had the part detach from the front but it didn't peel back and drag as mine did. This occurred on a long road trip. I will encourage my friend to report here. I am concerned for other's safety. I expect better from honda engineers. |
