Description of the problem | The bolts to the exhaust flanges and flanges before and after the catalytic converter are totally rusted. The vehicle has been serviced according to the maintenance schedule. I am concerned that if the bolts break this may cause the rear of the car to become airborne . Furthermore the rusting of the bolts and flanges should have been picked up by the honda techs long before the bolts and flanges got to this hazardous condition. |
