APPLICATION FOR AUTHORIZATION TO BRING A CLASS ACTION AND TO BE NAMED CLASS REPRESENTATIVE (Articles 571 and ss C.p.c.)<\/p>

The members of the group are as follows<\/strong><\/p>

Any individual, private legal entity, company, or association that is or was the owner or lessee in Quebec of a Honda automobile equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine from the following models and years:<\/p>

– Civic 2016 to 2022 (engine available as an option).<\/p>

– CR-V 2017-2022 (only engine offered on this model).<\/p>

– Accord 2018 to 2022 (base engine).<\/p>

HONDA CANADA’S FAULT<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

  1. The plaintiff accuses Honda of manufacturing and\/or distributing vehicles equipped with a cylinder head gasket that loses its seal prematurely, which is fatal to the proper functioning of the engine.<\/li>
  2. The repair requires the replacement of the cylinder head gasket and sometimes other damaged parts, at an estimated cost of several thousand dollars.<\/li>
  3. The failure of the part in question in this action is not attributable to a lack of maintenance or misuse by the consumer.<\/li>
  4. Honda Canada is not complying with the legal warranties applicable in Quebec, as provided for in articles 1726 et seq. of the Civil Code of Quebec and articles 37, 38, and 53 of the Consumer Protection Act, and is neglecting or unduly delaying the launch of a warranty extension campaign.<\/li>
  5. Before selling the vehicles to dealers and then to class members, Honda Canada knew or should have known that the class members’ vehicles were defective, but failed to disclose and concealed this material fact.<\/li>
  6. Despite its knowledge of the defect, Honda did not act or offer a solution to the class members collectively, contenting itself with resolving the issues individually with the most combative customers.<\/li><\/ol>

    THE CLAIM<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

    The plaintiff asks the court to order Honda Canada to:<\/p>

    • Reimburse all class members for the cost of repairing the gasket in their vehicles;<\/li>
    • Reimburse class members for the costs incurred as a result of the defect or the repair;<\/li>
    • Reimburse class members for compensatory damages for loss of use of their vehicles;<\/li>
    • Order the defendants to pay punitive damages of $300 to each member.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
