2 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 07/20/2016

We bought this care brand new for my daughter from a Honda dealer. Two weeks later while my daughter was driving back home from school at an intersection in our neighborhood , engine went from 15mph to 6mph to zero. Engine completely failed. Later I found out that this model has been recalled for a problem with a piston ring . Honda service is telling us the a new engine will be installed on the car, dont know what to do , none of us in our family feels safe about driving this car , because if she was on the highway going 55mph and this happened, it would be a disastrous situation and we are so thankful that this did not happen. Honda roadside assistant came an towed the car to service department . This car has 320 miles on it.

3 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 02/13/2016

Today I found out that Honda issued a recall of approximately 45,000 model year 2016 Civics in the u. S. And canada because the engine can stall while the car is in motion. This is due to a piston clip that was not installed or may have been improperly installed into the piston during assembly. I also found out that Honda sent a stop sale notice to all dealers on February 2nd however; my 2016 Civic car was sold to me on February 13th from a Honda dealer located in phoenix, az. I did contact the dealer and am taking my car in tomorrow but I read that the part or inspecting instruments won't even be available until the end of March. Not sure if the dealer will even be able to inspect my car tomorrow but I feel very unsafe driving a car that could potentially have a very serious issue. Can't believe Honda is putting lives at risk until the new part and inspecting instrument are available.
