Honda owners, all of us, get $500,000 in an escrow account to coverr un covered expenses, such as insurance deductibles and such. the 3 lawyers on the other hand get, $750,000 in fees and $250,000 in running expenses, for a total of $1,000,000. I think Lawyers are the only ones who win, since we are all going to pay for it with high purchase prices and Honda's unwillingness to do good will warranties.

Replying to: blueiedgod (Aug 10, 2009 8:45 am) Man, you hit that one on the head. Businesses are unwilling to to take risks due to litigation. Doctors have to cover their ass every time they see a patient. Teachers are becoming afraid of even just patting a little student on the head or back for fear of a lawsuit. No one can be honest or open any more. There seems to be something fundamentally wrong with a society and economy that has a far greater number of law schools and lawyers compared to medical schools. Now it appears the current administration attorney general is considering legal action against the CIA and military members for actions they took during the heat of combat! I truly worry where all this litigation and excess legal action is taking the country and our children's future. It has a potentially huge chilling effect on our ability to compete in the world and innovate, as well as draining off a lot of money that could be used better elsewhere. Litigation is not a free lunch, it has a very real cost to the economy and the country. Unfortunately, too many political leaders and Congressional members are lawyers, so I don't see things getting better until we've really dug a deep hole full of doo-doo.

Replying to: berri (Aug 10, 2009 11:19 am) You are absolutely correct. You can see how "failed lawyers" aka politicians are approaching the current health care reform, rather than revisit the tort issue, which is the core of the problem, they are going to destroy what we have and give us a system similar to VA/Medicare/Medicaid system which has long waits and limited coverage. Rather than come down hard on the "ambulance" chasers, they are going about it in some illogical and convoluted way. When I graduated with BS in Pre-Med, I sat down and wrote down what it would have cost to become a doctor. Med school: the cheapest one was a SUNY Downstate for $275,000 for the whole program. Residency: first 3 years of my post med school life would have been 80-120 hours a week for $60,000a year. Post residency: I would have been lucky to land a job that paid $200,000/year, but I would have also had to carry my owm MALPRACTICE INSURANCE at $125,000/year. So, between the $275,000 school loan and $125,000 I would have been no better than doing what I do now.... Needless to say, I am not a doctor, and I am happy about the descision I made more than 10 years ago.

I think Lawyers are the only ones who win, since we are all going to pay for it with high purchase prices and Honda's unwillingness to do good will warranties. Really? I disagree totally - if Honda had done the good will warranty originally it would have cost them WAAAY less than this settlement. Lets' say they replaced EVERY car that had the fire 100% when it happened. I think there were only a hundred or so - so 100 X 20K = 2 million total. I know two people who had this happen - Honda blew it on this one -plain and simple. PS I am not part of any settlement.

PS I am not part of any settlement Honda told dealers to replace filters on all incoming CR-V's and Elements when they found the root cause. But, the primary level of defence is the oil changer. It is his/her job to make sure the filter gasket was removed when the filter was removed. |

| Honda CRV 2000 passenger door power locks don't work. The drivers side power lock button (silver) works but no longer triggers the others. Turning the exterior key no longer opens the others. Flipping up the passenger side button no longer opens the others. Could it be a simple fuse or circuit breaker that needs fixing? | |
| i purchased a 2007 Honda Certified CRV-EX-L from my honda dealer 4 months ago - it had 14,500 miles on it. I've put about 4000 mostly highway miles on it and I've just checked the tires and the front two are 2/32nds. Back ones are slightly better. I've had 4 Hondas of different styles and never had to replace tires this early. I need information and ideas from anyone out there. The dealer offered me 4 tires at 10% over cost (Nokia) but I still have to pay for labor etc. Good deal or not? | |
