I purchased a certified used car from dublin Honda with a little over 7K miles, around the 12th of August 2001. My car started stalling while driving when the gas tank was between 1/4-1/8 tank. I also noticed a black flap hanging under my car and a lot of duct tape wrapped around the front axel and caught on the tires. It took three trips to the service department. They finally removed the fuel tank and found damage fuel tank damage and damage under fuel pump. They said but did not put in writing that there was a patch on an area of the damage. They asked me what I had hit, which I hadn't hit as there was a patch repair in the area. I have not hit anything. Therefore Honda sold me a car that was damaged and did not report this to me. What I really want is Honda to replace my car with a new one. I know that it is illegal to sell a damaged car without the purchasers notified of any defects, etc. And I was not. My car stalled while driving 75 miles and hour on a very busy freeway and therefore I could not get off the freeway and had too many near misses from other cars to want to remember. I thought at what point that I was going to die out there. I could see the headlines. "hospice nurse dies on freeway after visiting patient."
