Engine block - had previous old leaks from oil pan gasket, tooken to dealer 4 times for repairs and on the fourth time they discovered a cracked block. They advised me it was my responsibility and I should be lucky I have a extended warranty to pay for the repair. Also I was told my Honda world where the car was repaired somewhat and my american Honda that they have known about this problem and it is caused by a manufacturing defect (porous engine block). Dealer and manufacturer takes no responsiblity both has stated I bought the car and know it is my problem. On the window regulators they have a bulletin and know they go out prematurely but they state it can be fixed at my expense. Again the manufacture knows they have problems but still believe the consumer should pay for their short doings. Please help them understand the consumer should not have to pay for there errors in manufacturing.
