Honda called and is cutting me a check for $267. for only the two tires that wore before even reaching 8k miles. Didn't think I'd get squat since I swapped them out at a local tire store and they relied on their word that the tires were indeed worn in certain places. Would've liked to have gotten the $ for all four tires but I will happily take the $. Sometimes one has to be happy with whatever comes along! The Sandman

I need to get the arm replaced on my suspension as it is faulty....surprise, surprise. Honda sais that once it is replaced I will not have the same problem again. My question to anyone out there this: Does this problem re-occure? Do the tires keep wearing at a fast pace? Has anyone else had to have the arms replaced more than once? I just don't trust this car however much I love the sleek look of it. I also seem to have a problem with the acceleration. When I push the gas pedal it seems to have a bit of a lag and I don't like it. Just doesn't seem like a solid car! If so, I am out of here and buying a Toyota Matrix. |

Flawless acceleration on my '06 LX with just under 18k on the clock. Been quite satisfied overall with the performance of the engine. Not as powerful as our '05 3s, but that's due to the smaller 1.8 engine as compared to the 2.3 on the Mazda. Even with the few warranty issues with this car, still am very happy with my 1st Honda product. The rest of the family is very happy with it also and my oldest wants it but will be buying her her own new car within the next month or so. The Sandman

Replying to: fpritchett (Mar 19, 2007 7:53 am) I have the same problem with my 2007 Civic. The A/C went out and when I took it to the dealer they told me a rock cracked the condenser and that my warranty wouldn't cover it. The service manager's name was Wayne.....just wondering if that is a coincidence or if you took it to the Honda dealership in Santa Barbara as well. He played dumb....and acted like he didn't know if anybody else ever had this problem. Let me know when you get a chance. Thanks.

Replying to: craigblitz (Sep 10, 2008 6:19 am) I just had a blow-out in carpool lane this morning while driving at 70MPH. It was scary. I had not noticed the very excessive inside wear on this set. I looked at the other side and it is ready to go as well. Outside wear has plenty left. I know my car is no longer under warranty. But I am trying to get a copy of the TSB 08-001 to take to the dealership. I tried arguing with Honda prior to my warranty ending and it got me nowhere! Maybe now I can use this as a tool to a least have them fix the root of my problem without me having to pay for it! Appriciate an e-mail copy of it or link to where I can print it out. Thanks

Replying to: easybrah (Dec 01, 2008 5:45 pm) The A/C issue is a well documented problem at American Honda Motor Co. I should know, I did a lot of the documenting... I used to work cases for Honda at their corporate office in Torrance Ca. Heck, even if its out of warranty, you have a really good chance of getting a free repair. this is what you must do Call the customer service line at 1.800.999.1009 Connect with a rep. Have all of your info handy (vin and dealer info) and service records handy, having service done exclusively at Honda Dealers really earns you credit for "FREE REPAIRS" although an old friend who still worked there told me they stopped doing that. It still would help in my opinion. Explain your situation, they've heard it literally thousands of times by now. The condenser, due to its location is susceptible to being punctured by rocks. A case and case # will be generated. After being inspected by a Honda dealer, your issue will be documented at the dealer. A regional case manager will call you within 1-3 business days and will gather necessary information from the dealer to decide if the situation merits a "FREE REPAIR" Which for an A/C condenser should merit a free repair, Honda tells their regional case managers to be "generous" with particular situations such as this. Honda sets aside literally millions of dollars to do out of warranty work for Honda customers who they believe will remain loyal to Honda. Under no circumstances threaten to "never by a Honda" in the future. In their eyes, doing free repairs retains future purchases from current customers. Its all about the dollars after all! and FYI to everyone who has a Honda, this method can work for almost any issue not covered under warranty except for maybe wear and tear items. But even tires might get paid for (partially) if they were 1) purchased at a dealer and 2) had significant premature wear The key is to be nice to the dealer and to your case manager, they're people too you know. If you're an ass, they can be an ass because after all, your vehicle isn't covered under warranty and they are at no obligation to pay for anything. - Kam |
