26 thoughts onHonda issues recall for several models due to connecting rod defect
Honda issued a recall on my 2022 Honda Civic hatchback sport. I’ve been complaining about the problem since I bought it with 7 miles on it, it took two people to die and others to crash because the steering rack is too low and it’s putting pressure on the suspension and tire rods and two front tires which are popping while driving and causing car accidents. I brought my car in 8 times before the deaths and recalls over the years and they never looked at my car to figure out the problem . Now, I am renting vehicles and have to get this car in because I cannot drive it. Please reach out to me. I am beyond upset. It’s a VIN specific recall.
I have a 2019 acura tlx
Add me too!!
