Honda Reviews

Did care services with the dealer and never got a reminder to rotate the tires. Service representatives suggested/pushed for other care services which are unnecessary. The dealer does not have a serving attitude but just for making money. Our original car's tires wore out at 22K mileage which is much less than the OEM's warranty. The car dealer did a flush service which seems unnecessary.

On 6/18/09, we brought my 2004 Honda CRV in to have a rust spot inside the gas tank door. It was very evident that it was rusting from the inside out. I was advised that this problem was not covered by Honda warranty because it has not perforated through the panel. I understand these warranties but am a little frustrated that with today's advancement with anti-rust prep that this type of issue would result.

I bought TRX450R at $3,800.00. This was a used ATV. The first owner had a crank failure. He rebuilt it and sold to me. I have had it for 2 years and I am currently looking to buy my 3rd new crank. I ordered one from LeClare Motorsports. They declined the order and stated that Honda recalled cranks, stated it would be 2 months before availability. I contacted Honda and they stated that there was no recall.

I was stranded on a mountain highway when my 2002 Honda Civic stopped running. The transmission gave out after only 74,000 miles on my car. I was shocked. I would never expect this to happen with so few miles and the car being a Honda. My faith is shattered.

I bought a brand new 2009 Honda Accord sedan and after approximately 1000 miles, started experiencing brake noise. The level of the noise was not great but after 3000 miles, the noise was just annoying. I bought the Honda because of its history of being a reliable car. Now, I find for myself that Honda is just another car. I have taken the car twice to the dealer and have spoken with a Honda Corp. representative and they tell me the same story that there is no defect or recalls known and that basically I have to live with the problem.

My 2002 Honda Odyssey with 86,000 miles on it is at the dealer with transmission failure. Because I am the second owner, they say Honda will not help pay for it. I have to pay $3,100 to replace it. Honda needs to admit problems with the ‘02 Odyssey’s transmissions - they are posted all over the internet. They have admitted it with the 1999-2001 and have extended those warranties. Honda needs to be accountable.

I purchased a new 2008 Honda Civic and had a qualified mechanic install Roadmaster towing brackets specifically tested and designed for the car. While not under tow, the main motor mount broke damaging the transmission, which I now believe, was due to a defective part. The nearest Honda dealer stated that Honda Headquarters would not repair the damage as they noticed that a tow package had been installed which voided any warranty. The Honda was only nine months old with 3730 miles recorded. I have sold the vehicle but it has very expensive preposition. In the process of selling this vehicle off, I was also informed that the Honda dealer installed a radio before delivery that was not Honda original equipment and all electronics were not covered by warranty. In conclusion, do not buy Honda without a signed and sealed contract exclusion of this practice.

I have 2005 CRV with leaking oil filter. This dangerous situation has been investigated since 2004 and still no viable solution has been offered by Honda.

I purchased a new 2009 Honda Accord in January 2009. After about 6000 miles, the car would begin to vibrate when applying brakes for a quick stop. Car was taken in for service and the technician said the rotors were bad and that they would have to be resurfaced. I am also having an issue with the back panel of the car vibrating while driving.

I brought my 2006 Honda Ridgeline Truck in for what I noticed as rust appearing inside the doors at the weld joints. Honda body rep examined the vehicle and repaired it under warranty on 12/12/2007. The rust came back in the exact same spots. I brought the truck back to Jon Hall Honda and they called a regional rep to examine the rust. He decided that because I live in Florida near a coast that it is not under warranty to be fixed. While he was examining my doors, he pulled off the rubber seals and they are all now falling off the vehicle due to his actions. The rust is inside of the doors in the exact same weld joint in all four doors.

I have a 2008 Honda Accord EX that I have been leasing for less than a year and a half. Last week, I was in the car while it was turned on and my 18 month old son was in the backseat and my husband was in the passenger seat. My husband had to get out of the car to get something. When he closed the door, all of the passenger side airbags deployed including the seat airbag and the curtain airbags. Thankfully, they did not hurt my son. We have taken the car to Honda of Princeton, NJ and they have told us that this is our fault and the car did its job. I really never knew that by closing my door while the car is on should cause any airbags to deploy. I always thought Hondas were great cars, yet I have completely changed my mind about that.

We bought a brand new Honda Odyssey van in 2002 and after 709 miles, the transmission fell out on the ground. The dealer fixed it and told us that Honda takes care of their own, well, since we have had it back and forth to the same dealer, with the same slipping and jerking that it was impossible to keep taking it in and getting a call, it’s ready to be picked up only to have the same problems.

I am wondering why there is not a safety recall on 2003 Honda Accord transmissions. My car is not safe for me or others around me. Why won't Honda take responsibility for this problem. I paid for a good reliable car, and I want what I paid for. My car has 40,600 miles on it. The car should not have transmission problems!

I purchased a 2008 Honda Accord last August. The warranty provided was for 48k miles non-powertrain, and 100k powertrain. I have taken the car in before to Honda Carland for normal servicing and warranty work and their service was great. This time, I took it to a closer dealership (Nalley Honda) and have had a horrible experience.

My 2002 Honda Odyssey's transmission started to breakdown due to the fact that its system is factory defective. American Honda wanted me to go to their dealership for diagnosis. I refused because I do not trust dealership work and can prove it. She told me that Honda would not help me out. I told her I wanted Honda to reimburse me for the repairs. They know what's wrong. She refused. I feel that I should have a choice in repair work to fix an inherently factory defect. I wanted it done properly and correctly. I purchased my vehicle Honda-certified. I trusted them because of my past positive experiences with Honda vehicles. Misrepresentation, intent to deceive, reliance damages - they fulfill the statues of fraud. Anyone out there with the balls to take them on?

My air conditioner wasn't working so I took my 2008 Honda Civic, with 17,000 miles, to Suburban Honda in Farmington Hills, Michigan. There I met with a service technician and proceeded to tell the man the problem I was having with my car. The service tech told me it was going to cost approximately $160 if there was no warranty. Since I have a 3-year/36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, I didn't worry. An hour latter, I received a call from Suburban Honda. The tech said there was impact on the air conditioner's condenser, that's why the air conditioner wasn't working. He went on to tell me that the problem wasn't covered by my warranty because it was physical damage and that it would cost $575 to repair. I told him don't do anything, I'm on my way.

With less than 23,000 miles, the service rep tells me I need new breaks without even the courtesy of listening to the noise that started on my 2008 Honda Accord yesterday. The service rep informed me that 23,000 miles for breaks is typical. My car is now at my mechanic’s. He tells me breaks typically last 40-50,000 miles. 23,000 is an outrage. It appears I made a mistake buying a Honda, a mistake that I will not make again.

I heard a high-pitched metallic sound coming from my tires. It was found to be the rear brake sensor. I had my breaks checked out by an independent automotive repair company. The repair company stated that while my front brakes are still brand-new; my rear brakes were "gone." Officially, it's RL 4mm and 2mm and RL 2mm and 0.5mm.

2002 CRV passenger side window not working. I paid a premium for this car because it will go 150k with no problems. Well, do not believe it. At 65k, my passenger window will not go down. The mechanic thinks it's the motor and will cost upwards of $500. I will never buy a Honda again no matter what my wife says.

I have a 2000 Honda with less then 95k. In September of 2007, I took it in to have timing belt and water pump replaced as the manual recommends. At that time, I was asked if I wanted my transmission flushed! Now, I was not there to watch them do it nor do I believe they did it. I worked as a mechanic for many years and what I just saw come out of my transmission was not just 16 month old fluid. But now the transmission is shot! No good and Honda North America wants me to pay $3k for it to be fixed, something they all knew was defective back in 9/07 when it was looked at (and under warranty) and could have and should have been fixed then. Now, I am left with a vehicle that is unsafe to drive with my children in it for fear more will happen. They actually told me that a new transmission will cost 9K and a rebuilt will be 3k. Honda does not honor their product.

I purchased a 2004 Honda Odyssey Touring new van in February 2005. Since then, I have had several problems with the vehicle. PAX tire problems (lots of them), whistling windshield, bad rear sensor, bad sliding doors, squealing door locks, air conditioning condenser now needs to be replaced (another 'known' issue) that they won't help me on until I get a district or regional Honda person involved with.

I have a Honda Odyssey 1999. The transmission has now gone out for the 4th time with only 97600 miles on it. Russel Smith Honda has done all the work on the transmissions for the past 8 years. The mounting bolts have now also been sheered off for the 2nd time with the transmission going out.

I bought a Honda soil tiller from Nevada Power Products, Inc. on 5-6-08 and it started to leak in September. I brought it in to fix the leak under warranty on 10-3-08. I was told there was no leak and wildly accused me of storing it upside down, which of course I never did. Sheesh. Anyways, they found a leak and replaced the dipstick oil ring. The tiller is going to leak again and this is a start in the reporting process. I asked via phone several different times to talk with the owner (name is Larry Doer) to please call me. He never did. The tiller is once again, as of today, back in my safe garage awaiting the oil leak to start again. This time it will be out of the warranty period.

My air conditioner in my 2006 Honda Civic stopped working recently. I took it to South Bay Honda (where I purchased the car) last month or so to have it repaired. My car is still under warranty so I figured there would be no charge. Well, I was wrong. The service dept. claimed that "a pebble hit my condenser unit and damaged it" rendering my a/c useless. Wow! That must have been some pebble. Anyway, they offered to fix it for a mere $1,200. Of course, I wasn't willing to pay that, so I retrieved my car and left, feeling thoroughly cheated.

I have a 2001 Honda Civic EX Coupe with 80,000 miles and the transmission has gone out. I contacted Honda and was told there was nothing they could do. Upon doing some research on the internet, I see that several people have had the same problem. Is there a class action lawsuit for this problem? I bought this car because of the myth that Hondas last and last. Boy, was I wrong.

Honda manufactured defective upper arm control on most Honda Civics 2006-2007 (2-door and 4-door). So far, Honda has not issued any recall on this equipment and the Honda dealer has refused to replace the upper arm control for free. They quoted about 700USD for replacing the defective upper arm control with the new one.

I bought a 2001 Honda Passport certified new with 7,000 miles from Straub Honda in Wheeling, WV. A year ago, my 16 -year-old son was driving this car on a back road and the vehicle made a funny sound and stopped. The frame rusted in half and the car had to be towed to an auto shop where it still sits to this day. The car was still under warranty and Honda or the dealership will do anything about it.

I bought a new Honda City 09 model just 2 weeks back. The day I got the car, since then the alignment of the car wasn't set; it was pulling on the left side. I told Honda about it and they said, "We'll have a look at it." Just after 3-4 days, I was going with my wife and daughter and the overheat light came on and that was only after a 5-km. drive. I called up Honda and told them to take the car back as I was pretty sure that they gave me the accident car as there was some difference in the shade of the left side door and the boot also doesn't close properly. I have left the car in their showroom as I don't want it now and I'm never going to recommend Honda to anyone.

In December 2008, my engine light came on in my 2005 Honda Accord EX. I brought the car to Paragon Honda in Queens, NY. This is where I purchased the car. The service manager told me that the knock sensor harness had been chewed by a rodent and needed to be replaced at a cost of $400. In my research and interviews with people from various websites, I have learned the following: the original knock sensor harness was made from a soy-based compound making it attractive to rodents. This has been a common problem in the US. As a result, Honda R&D has retooled the product making it rodent-proof with small pictures of dead rats on the new harness. Paragon Honda told me to contact American Honda who blew me off. I then wrote a letter to Honda Japan. They wrote me back and told me they were not responsible and they forwarded the complaint back to American Honda. I then got a call from a representative of American Honda, Jeffrey **. He read from a script and told me it wasn't their fault. He called me and derided me for contacting Japan.

I have a 2006 Honda Civic that has a crack in the engine which is leaking antifreeze from it. The cost of a new engine will cost $3,313.10. They quoted me cut price for the amount of $1,987 which they stated was for parts and labor. I would have to pay the sales tax. I feel that I should not have to pay anything for a defective engine. Will you be able to help me with this complaint?

I bought a brand new CRV on 12/30/06. There are less than 30,000 miles on the car tires. I currently have to replace 3 out of the 4 tires due to little or no tread. I went to have my snow tires taken off and the company would not put on the original tires because of safety. I would think that the tires would have lasted longer than 30,000 miles of city driving.

On April 7, 2009, I was driving on Santa Monica Blvd. and Van Ness when I noticed my rear window was fogged up so I turned on my defroster and the rear passengers smelled something burning. Then I opened my driver's window and a few seconds later after that, the rear window exploded. We thought someone shot a bullet into my car or that a bomb went off. I immediately called the police after parking my car and they came in minutes. After examining all the information I gave them as to what happened, they determined that there was no gun shots or bombs, but that the window burst due to a short circuit from the car itself. Three weeks prior, my rear window shattered after I turned on the defroster, but I thought it was due to vandalism because I didn't realize that the defroster had anything to do with it.

My 2001 Honda Civic transmission went out at 111,000 miles. From what I've read/heard, Honda will not help out with cost to repair or replace and there are no factory recalls.

I bought a 2005 Honda Accord. I told them exactly what I could afford and we worked out financing, signed the paperwork and left with the car. They called me back 2 weeks later and said they can't find financing for me. I have to get a cosigner or return the car. I can't get a cosigner and I don't know what to do. The seller cancellation policy says they have 10 days to cancel the contract. It's been over 10 days. Do they still get to cancel?

I am writing concerning numerous problems I have experienced with my 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid. Let me begin by saying I am a previous owner of a 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid, which performed as advertised, and beyond my expectations. Unfortunately after two years of daily use and 76,000 miles, the car was declared a total loss after being rear-ended. It was due to my satisfaction with the performance of the 2006 Civic Hybrid that I went right out and purchased a 2009 Civic Hybrid.

2003 Honda Civic Hybrid CVT Transmission is defective, should be recalled. Honda corporate and dealerships know this and refuse to act properly to correct defective product. Is there a class action lawsuit against them for this defective product?

The last 4 July, I was driving with my two grandchildren slowly because them when suddenly the car start accelerated until I take a bis velocity. I couldn't avoid a car who was at front, the driver was extremely bad, almost die in the crash. My grandson both was injured, the little one had one fracture of the femur. Well later, I knew it was a problem with the software of the Honda who has taken lot of lives and is called unintended acceleration and some car are presenting this problem. I have a very serious legal problem because I damage a person. I want somebody give me an explanation because I could die in this stroke. Thank you, anticipated.

I have been taking my families vehicles to Rock Honda for service. we purchased two new Honda's from them as well. Jim Boyd and the service department have always been very courteous and professional. this goes for the sales department as well. one morning i was on my way to work. i had contacted them because my vehicle had started to make a strange noise, they told me i could come right in. i brought in the vehicle, they provided me with alternate transportation and got me on my way. The service advisor called me that afternoon let me know what the problem was and that it would be ready later that day. i picked up my vehicle later that evening and had everything explained to me. i really appreciate how quick they were able to get me in and on my way. i will continue to use rock honda for my service needs and will definately continue to reccomend this dealership.

I made the mistake of doing business with David McDavid Honda in Frisco. The first hint of a problem was when the sales person quoted me a price of $599 to install body side molding. I declined and when I got home checked internet pricing at $266. Second, after owning the car for a week the finance person called and said they were raising my apr % from 3.9 to 4.9. Then the final kicker was when I returned the vehicle to the dealership for window tinting and installation of the molding...they wrecked my car, and instead of telling me on the phone, they waited until I was driving through the car wash to notify of this incident. I find the whole group at this dealership to be the most dishonest I have ever dealt with. I left the car with them, and told them they could deliver it to my house when it was completely repaired. I have NO IDEA when I will get my NEW car back. The dishonesty starts at the top with the GM & Service manager. Honda is a good car, but this dealership is the worst of the worst.

2001 Honda Odessey right front coil spontaneously broke and pierced the right front tire while parked in the driveway.

I purchased a new 2007 Honda Shadow Spirit 750(motorcycle)and two weeks after I had it in my possession, it cut off while I was riding with no prior indication that something was wrong. Well I thought it was maybe a fluke so I did not take it back to the shop then. About 1 1/2 weeks later, just before it would be one month old I was riding on Interstate 75 on my way to the dealership to buy something for my bike and it cut off in busy rush hour traffic fortunately, I was able to get over to the medan before someone ran me over. I called the dealership and reported the incident after a Hero unit came to assit me and was unsuccessful. My brother came and got me and the bike and took us down to the dealership where they kept the bike for a couple of days and said that they could find nothing wrong with it. They insinuated that it may have been out of gas but the Hero driver checked that and also put more gas in it just to be sure. Upon attempting to give me the bike back I spoke with the GM, Buddy and expressed my serious concern for my life's potential danger being on this bike and I expressed that if I took this bike back again and it did the same thing that I did not want that particular bike again that I wanted something else to feel safe on. One week later I hadn't ridden my bike because of bad weather, I attempted to go riding and my bike would not start, I went and bought a slow charger and the bike started after charging, I rode over to my friends house and stayed for a couple of hours and the bike would not start up again. I took the battery back to the dealership to have the battery tested and they stated that there was a bad cell on that battery and gave me a new one. It was time for me to take my bike in for my first servicing after 600 miles, I never made it to the dealership. After work on August 11 or 12th 2008, I was on the same stretch of Interstate 75 when my bike shut off one again. Frantic I called the dealership and they sent someone on their way to pick the bike up. While waiting two separate gentleman stopped to assist me along with the same Hero guy that helped me the first time stalled on I-75. The gentleman from the shop took a long time to arrive. I would beleive that was due to the rush hour traffic. It was scorching hot and we were in a fairly hazardous part of the freeway so, the two gentleman that stopped to assist me helped me get off the expressway to a safer area and the dealership personnel picked me up from there. The next day I went up to the dealership and spoke with the GM - Buddy and expressed that this was the third time that bike had cut off on me for no apparent reason and that for my life's safety I would not take it back again, I just wanted a bike I could ride it was brand new and I had secured myself with the additional warranty maintenance and Gap insurance just for my own protection and now my bike has spent more time down that me enjoying riding it. On Saturday, August 15th, I went up to the dealership to check on the status of what was going on since no one had contacted me in the past few days and I was constantly calling and getting no feed back. I spoke with Nick the salesman and Buddy the GM. Buddy said there was one of two things that could happen. I could let them repair what they thought was wrong or I could go let Nick set me up with another bike. I chose to go with Nick with a feeling of ease regarding my safety. After completing my business with Nick he said my bike should be here in about a week, well the week came and went without hearing from the dealership. I then contacted Nick and he said they were trying to figure the best way to handle the situation with causing me hardship, I'm not sure what he meant by that but he assured me that they were on the situation and that he would follow up and call me back. Well three days passed and I heard nothing, now realize the summer season for riding is quickly leaving us and I haven't spent enough time with my new bike that rode as if it was on it's last leg going to the motorcycle grave yard. Well on Monday August 25, I contact someone named Justin in the finance department and he was going to call the dealership and follow up for me but I tried to reach him repeatedly only to find out he is on vacation. Now I get a call from Nick at the dealership on Tuesday, August 26th and he says that the Service manager is going to give me a call, they don't want to give me a safe bike, they want to assume that the problem is fixed and give me the same bike back again, note: we've already been through this procedure and I still was put in harms way out on the freeway. I have spoken with Clark Howard's office and they were able to give me any relative information because it is a motorcycle issue and not a automobile. Now I am writing to you for any valuable resource. PLEASE HELP, IF THERE IS SOMETHING I CAN DO, PLEASE TELL ME I'M AT MY WITS END AND OUT OF RESOURCES EXCEPT TO OBTAIN AN ATTORNEY, AND I DON'T THINKS THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY IF THE DEALERSHIP WOULD JUST UNDERSTAND THAT, THAT BIKE HAS CUT OFF ON ME THREE TIMES WHILE RINDING IN TRAFFIC IN WHICH I COULD HAVE GOTTEN RAN OVER BY OTHERS. I'M STARTING TO FEEL AS IF MY SAFETY IS OF NO CONCERN TO THEM AS LONG AS I CONTINUE TO PAY MY PREMIUMS. And this is why I'm writing to your office, I don't know if I have a leg to stand on. Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to offer me.

I bought a Honda motorcycle from an authorized dealer, august 2007, the next day, it had to be towed back, because it wouldn't run. They replaced the battery and released the bike to me. 2 days later it had to be towed again, because it wouldn't run, this time they replaced an electrical part and released the bike to me. within 2 weeks the bike was dead again and was towed in, this time, a loose connector was found to be the culprit,

called honda with no luck, said they would work with us, sounded like a ploy to get us in the shop so we haven't done anything yet, they wanted 3700.00 for a reconditioned transmission and another 1500.00 for the 105000 mile service! we are still deciding on which route to take, car has always been a glutton for service at least more then any other car I have owned!

In 2005 I bought a certified pre-owned 2002 Honda Passport for my son with the extended warranty. We have serviced the vehicle and frequently checked fluid levels under the hood between oil changes. Two months ago the engine developed a loud noise and had to be towed to the nearest Honda Service dept. where their mechanics diagnosed a slung rod and would have to have the engine replaced. Since the repair was about $4000 they had to get the Honda Care field adjuster inspect the vehicle. Unfortunately, since the dipstick showed the motor was 1 1/2 quarts low of oil, he said the motor would need to be taken apart, at the owner's expense to see if they would cover. The Honda service department manager did not recommend this because this would cost me hundred of dollars with no guarentee that Honda Care would pay.

The Passport has been in the Honda shop for two months with nothing being done. I contacted Honda customer relations and they state this is not their problem since not original warranty (3 yr./36K mi.)but a Honda Care problem. I contacted Honda Care and talked to a guy named Don, who refused to give his full name. Hewas very rude and implied theproblem was not maintaing adequate oil level. Note: the oil had been checked about 2 weeks beforehand. Plus the oil-level light never came on.

I leased a new 2008 acura mdx on 07-28-08 , on 08-11-08 the car broke down the transmission get stucked and did not move , also the keys get stucked in the egnition so i could not leave the car , i waited for 2 hours for the service to come and toy my car to the dealer, i felt so bad about the car and felt sorry for my self after paying all that money to drive a new car, also at the car dealer no body seems to care about what happened ,all they say will fix your car and we will call you.

They made us wait for 2 hrs for an oil change. Initially we told them that we had a doctor's appt. which would require that they have to get the oil changed in 2 hrs. when 2 hrs came, they said they ran behind and that we are on the list which would mean at least another hour of waiting. My husband said i have to go to my appt. so they were rude and released his paperworks. 2 minutes later, my husband called me and i said i can pick him up so let them work on the oil change since he's been waiting for 2 hrs already. they told him he has to stand back in line...which means they can not get to the car until later evening or tomorrow. In short, they wasted our time and were rather rude about it. They knew we could not afford to be late and they reassured him they will get in done in 1 hr45 min. they basically were very inconsiderate about their customer's concerns and very unprofessional. we want other people to know this so that they won't be missing an important appt which we had. It took us 2 months to get that doctor's appt. thank you.

i have leased a brand new car from them on 5/30/08 and aftre a month i started to have big problems with it. it shut down on me on 6/30/08 when i called a towe truck and brought it to th edealership service department to see what had happened to the car.charged my battery and let me go saying that the battery was a lilttle loose. right after a week the car wouldn't start on me again n i had to go through this frasturation once again. i called the same towe truck n had towed it to the same dealership. they kept it for 2 days n when i was going to pick it up the manager claimed it wouldn't start again. finally after 3 more days they change dthe immobilizer n called me up again to pick it up. after 2 hours since i picked up my car it shut down on me AGAIN. i dont know how they had fixed it but it seems that the car is deffected. after a couple of hours the car had started and the next day it dies again. i have spoken to th emanagers every time this would happen and they only tell me lies and promises that the car would get fixed. its a brand new car this shouldnot happen to it after 1 month. its a lemon car but they are not giving me a new car. it has been a week since my car is in their shop again and they are not doing anything about it. the service is horrible, i have to call thousands of times until th emanager would pick up the phone to speak to me. i feel very much ignored and descriminated since i am a female. i know if there was a male on my place they would either fixed th ecar already or given him a new one. it is very inconvinient for me to go through the same problem over and over where i get stuck calling a towe truck and getting to work late.

My 2002 Honda Odessey has developed rust in the doors at the front. It is an weel established problem with Honda as a service bulletin has gone out to all dealerships. Honda Canada will cover $800 of the repair but I have been told by 5 collsion shops that the rust will appear again. The only way to solve this problem is to get new doors. I went to a dealership while on vacation lasat summer when the car was still under warranty. The individual that looked at it, said to take it up with regular dealership when vacation is over. We did and found out that the warranty was up on this problem.

i will do the repairs myself and after i get it on the road again, you can bet i will place a big sign in the window show-casing how faulty Honda is. if i can just stop one person from buying a new honda, my odyessy can go to its grave happy. due to the high repairs cost the first time my transmission went out i had to get a second mortgage on my house to cover something honda should of fixed for free.

I purchased a certified vehicle from this dealership with an extended warranty. The car was suppose to come with a carfax report as a benefit and peace of mind as a certified vehicle. My carfax report was withheld from me, and later after experiencing ride problems I did some investigation on the vehicle through carfax and learned that the vehicle was in an accident with the previous owner. I asked the salesperson has this car been in an accident and he specifically said NO. The salesperson was dishonest about the car and I'm concerned about my safety in the car while riding. I contacted the dealership and filed a claim, and I was told a claim agent would contact me within 1 to 2 days, but I haven't received any written contact or phone call concerning the matter, during the time frame that I was given that a claim representative would get in contact with me.

Vehicle in question is a Honda Passport that my mother (78 yrs. old) purchased 3 years ago. The frame is completely rusted away...gone, nothing left. She has no money to buy another vehicle. and Honda's response is that it is out of warranty. No kidding? But a 12 year old car should not have a rusted out frame. My son drives a 1972 VOLVO it's not rusted out. I can't believe this is the only Passport, parts made by Isuzu, that has this problem

I lost my keys to my 2002 Honda CB900F2 which has a Honda immobilizer factory fitted (HISS) and they want almost as much as my bikes worth to get me back on the road. Why do Honda US bikes not have this ridiculous immobilizer and we in the UK are stuck with it?

I was thinking of buying a honda unicorn I dropped in at the showroom of "ARYABHANGI", one of the dealers of Honda two wheelers located at aluva in kerala, india. I was really disgusted and it was very unfortunate that the response from the showroom employees was really pathetic. I felt that they are not promoting the sales in a good manner and they are not bothered about customer satisfaction. Its as if they dont want us to buy a motorbike. In todays world,where the motto is customer satisfaction, behaviour of such type is really intolerable.

i have 350 honda atv which is used to ride through my pasture to my fishing spot which is a little over a 1/4 mile.i have had the rear seal on the engine replaced twice at my exspense.well it is leaking oil again it lasted 8 ours of use the first time and less than 5 hours this time.i do not have more money to thrw away what do i do?

99 Honda Odessey had electrial ignition switch recall. Dealer said item was fixed in 2002 under the recall with previous owner. Problem with car stalling at any time (middle of highway at 60 miles an hour) is a safety issue and has started again. Said they would not fix problem second time under recall and that I would have to pay. Defective parts and poor design seems to be their responsibility not mine. I think they should be liable.

I bought my car from this dealership and I have Michelin tires on my car. Now the tires went out in 23 -25000 miles and the warranty is only 12000 miles I've emailed Michelin and heard nothing yet> I really don't know when the dealership is telling the truth. Even my brake pad on front and back went out in 8 on months. I was told by other honda dealer that the rotors where under warranty. So now I don't know what to do.

I sent a letter concerning my vehicle having rust problems that I feel should be investigated by Honda. I feel it could be a defect in the metal as there is no rust anywhere on the vehicle except the frame. The rear strut broke loose from the frame of the vehicle which had I been traveling on the highway could have caused me to have an accident. Luckily I was driving in a parking lot at the time. I had planeed on keeping this vehicle as it just turned 100,000 miles. It is paid for and being in good condition had no reason to purchase a new vehicle. Mr. Tumanian said they had no other complaints of the frames rusting, but didn't offer to have mine investigated either. I think that is the least they can do. I am aware of other vehicle manufacturers having rusting problems and are investigating the situation or are compensating the individuals for there inconvenience. All I am asking is for Honda to send a representative and check my vehicle to see if there is a defect in the metal the frame was made of. I can't drive the vehicle under the current condition it is in. If there is anything you can do to help me with this I would appreciate it. All Honda would tell me is if I wanted to purchase a NEW Honda they would help with my servicing!

The auto transmission went out on my 2000 Honda Prelude with 100,200 miles on it. I had purchased it new from San Francisco Honda. It was stuck on first gear when I took it in to Serramonte Honda. They said I needed a new transmission at the price of $4334. I spoke to Manny Pan at American Honda who, after his investigation, found out that I had owned two previous Hondas and had serviced my current Honda at Serramonte Honda only a few months earlier, and offered to pay 75% of a reduced price.

I brought a transmission from one of the local Honda properties. I've gotten the transmission replace twice and I dont feel like my car is running good. What should I do?

The driver side and the passenger side window stopped working with-in few weeks one one another. This problem was caused due to a broken component in the window assembly.

February 11th I took my Honda get the engine maintenance light reset and determine the problem with my cruise control.They asked for my credit card number.They called noting that $2000 worth of work needed to occur immediately and that my car was too dangerous to be on the road. I had recently had the 77,000 mile service conducted so I knew that some of the items they listed shouldn't need to be addressed. I then took my car to a Honda dealership and had them run down a checklist of every item that Honda Acura Automotive said needed to be performed.The Honda dealership noted that none of the work that Honda Acura Automotive suggested in fact needed to be performed. The items they said needed to be fixed were: Spark plugs, Timing belt, Front and back breaks, Rear cap and motor, Valve adjustment, Water pump, Outer belts, and Shocks.

I am unsure if you are the appropriate agency that I should be contacting. I received a phone call march 1, 2008 at 9:46 am. Initially it was a recording that told me they were calling about the warranty on my car expiring. I purchased a new car in December 2007 and our other car is a 1999. I continued with the call to make sure that Honda did not make an error and pressed 2. Then a man came on the line asking me for the make and model of my car. I said, If you are calling about my warranty shouldn't you know the make and model of my car. I also mentioned that I have a new car and a 1999 car and asked from what company are you calling from and the man hung up the phone. It seems suspicious so I am contacting you. Thank you for your assistance in this matter and for all the work you do to stop scams.

I took my automobile to Honda of Escondido to investigate an oil leak. Upon examination, the oil leak was caused by stripped out oil pan threads. The only way to repair the leak was to replace the oil pan at the cost of $333.84. The cause of the damaged threads was due to the over torquing of the drain plug during my last oil change at Express Tire. The evedence showes that the employee realized that the threads were stripped and applied a thick tar like substance to keep the drain plug in place and stopped any leakage. My automobile oil change was not due, however, the loss of oil required this repair. I have docmented paper work from Honda, that identifies the problem.

It's very difficult to see much of the road with the type of head lights they are using, which are about 2-/12 inch enclosed circular units. On roadways in the country, with hills and turns, these lights on low beam cast a shadow on the side and creates a sort of hypnotic effect. When cresting a hill to climb another, visibility is reduced to approximately 25 to 40 feet until you begin to assend again and you lose visiblity until the vehicle's nose if downward again. These are like small spot lights and act as such and are not safe to drive at night with in a country setting. Side visibility is not more then 15 to 30 feet and it's not lit up well at all. I explained the problem to the service person and mechanic, both of which have not driven a 2008 at night nor do they own one. The mechanic could understand the problem, but nothing he could do about it unless Honda has a recall to replace the headlights.

My car honda type R was in an accident sent it for repairs and theres no parts available. One part is due at the end of the month and dont know about the other.I am a businessman and need a vehicle daily. Im currently receiving shocking customer service since no calls of mine have been returned. i've been informed that if honda does not have parts available they would fly parts over or give a certiousy vehicle which neither is happening.There has been little or no help for my problem.

Situation Background I own 2001 Acura Integra GSR. The car has been driven to and from work 99% of its life, just regular wear and tear. Currently there is 75000 miles on this car. The car has had its oil changed at Acura dealer ship for its entire life every 3 thousand miles. Mid 2007 I suddenly noticed that my engine warning light turned on. I immediately stopped to investigate. It turned out that oil was low. I have contacted dealer and run oil burning test to see if engine was burning oil. All it is, you drive 1000 miles and check oil level. It was measured that my engine is burning 2 quarts of oil every 1000 miles. I was shocked to say the least because after our family bough many Honda vehicles over 20 years I have never seen Honda engine burn oil. Two quarts of oil per 1000 miles is huge amount. I contacted Acura Customer service to find out if they can help with this matter as it sure looked like something that should not be happening. Customer Service Response Customer service told me that they do not have to help me because my warranty expired but if they are to provide any kind of assistance I need to have a dealer and only Acura dealer determine what the problem is first. I spoke with Service manager at Acura dealer and I was told it will cost me $1000 up front and maybe more to make a determination whats wrong with the engine. This is not even the costs of repair, which is likely to bring the total cost to be more then if I would just buy a brand new engine. So I was supposed to spend all this money just to find out if Acura would render some kind of assistance to help with my problem. I have decided to consult with a friend of family a Honda mechanic with 25 years experience with Honda cars. He works for Honda dealer. He assured me that Honda engine can go 200000 miles without burning any oil and there are only two possibilities why my car is burning oil this soon. 1. Manufacturing defect of engine. 2. Oil was not changed properly by the dealer. (McGrath Acura 400 E Ogden Ave Westmont, IL , 60559) Conclusions I have thought about it, and called Customer Support again to tell them that I do not believe I should have to spend any money to fix something that is clearly not my fault. They replied that there is nothing they can do for me then. Im truly shocked and disappointed that Acura is expecting their customers to throw away a car after 75000 miles. Im also shocked that the dealership would not offer me some kind of discount on labor they wanted to charge me to determine whats wrong with the car. When you think about it, they are partially responsible for this situation as they have failed to notify me the engine is burning oil when they were doing oil changes. You would think the dealer might want to mention to you that the extracted oil form engine was much lower then expected, but I guess this must be against their interests. They check your tire pressure but fail to inform you about such an important fact as low oil level during oil change. I do not understand why a manufacturer with much worse reputation like Hunday is warranting their power train up to 100,000 miles, but Acura turns their back on long term loyal customer when they know their equipment should not break this soon? It is not like I took my car to Jiffy Lube. My car was maintained only by Acura dealer for its entire life. Acura you leave me no choice. I have decided that I have no choice but to stop buying Honda made cars and to share my experience with as many people as possible on Internet. Let this be a warning to anyone who thinks Acura and Honda is a guarantee of excellence. Nothing could be further from the truth. Regards A very disappointed customer.

At 11:30 on Saturday, January 26th at the Washington Auto Show in the Washington Convention Center in D.C., I approached a Honda salesman. I inquired as to why you don't sell Manual Transmissions for the CR-V or have the option to order one. He said people don't wan't Manuals and to get used to it. I told him I bought a Suburu instead even though I was a Honda owner for years because I drive a Manual and he said he didn't care. At least teach your salesmen to pretend to care but with his attitude, he needs to find another job other than customer service. I don't know the individual's name but he was the only male on the floor at 11:30 on that day.

I have had many many problems with 1999 Oddssey as well. Transmissions (two) doors stick problem, door switches Ignition Switch Fuel injectors

I purchase a 2002 Honda SE brand new, and my car has been dealership service for six year. Now at 152,000 miles my transmission has to be replaced and I am very upset. The dealership told me that my car has been maintain very well and suggested that I replace the Transmission instead of purchasing a new car, which will not be a Honda. So in telling me that, why do I need a new transmission knowing that my car has been maintain very well by Honda. If Honda is having problems with their transmission then they need to do right by their customers and replace the transmission.

I purchased a (used) 98 Honda CR-V from a local Honda dealership. When my battery died, I looked for the code to reset my radio. It turns out I was never given the code card because my dealer never had the info. They tell me they need to remove the radio to find the serial number. I called the national Honda customer service line and asked them if it would be possible to track down the number via the VIN. They said they couldn't. I find that EXTREMELY hard to believe since, as far as I know, every vehicle has an assembly tree where the serial number of each and every part, tests conducted, etc. are noted. (Otherwise, how could they notify the customer if there is a defective batch of radios where installed into vehicles?)

I took my car in on Monday November 5 because the car heated up on my way to work. When I arrived the service adviser informed me that in order for them to determine the cause they needed to conduct some tests and it would take a few hours.

I have a 2006 Honda Ridgeline Truck. Honda was highly recommended to me by my friends who own them. Well, I am extremely frustrated because my truck which has 61,000 has a front left head gasket which is blown. I was told by the dealer that I would need to pay $1400 to look at the vehicle to tell me what was wrong with it. That is would be approx. $4500 to fix my truck.

In Jan 2005 the transmission on my Honda Passport was replaced at 52,000 miles with me paying my insurance deductible of $500.00. Now, Sep 07, I find my transmission going out again with only 82,000 miles. I have currently contact the BBB representative.

On Friday 10/05/07 my 2 children and I was involved in a 5 car pile up. We were on Hwy 75 going home when the two cars in front stopped because of road construction. While coming to a stop the car behind me hit me at 65-70 mph slamming me into car in front. Then car behind him hit him. I was pushed into steering wheel. Were I have chest and neck pain with head aches. My 13 year old son was in passanger seat. Which thank the lord he was not hurt.

I took my car for service on 9/15 the check engine light was staying on. I was informed that same day the the problem was that one of the oxygen sensor was mad. I gave the permission to replace the oxygen sensor, they stated that the price including labor about $500.00. Late no I was contacted my the manager to inform me that while the were trying to remove the sensor they damaged the catalytic converter.

I purchased this car brand new in Dec 2006, In July 2007 suddenly I lost the cooling of the AC as I was traveling across Saudi Arabia desert with my family. I had therefore to have the AC checked, the nearest city to my location was Haferelbaten.

I have a 2003 Odessey. It will allow me to take the key out without being in park. I parked in my garage coming home from work one evening without closing the garage door. The next morning my van had rolled out of the garage, tore out a retaining wall and was lodged against a tree, which kept it from hitting my neighbors house.

My 2001 Honda caught fire as I was driving. Smoke started seeping through the vents in the dashboard. I was fortunate to escape through the window because there was an electrical failure and I could not unlock the electric locks. Fire shot out through the dashboard soon after I escaped the vehicle. Had I been trapped I am certain I would have died.

I accidentally did not place my honda odessey in park resulting in my mini van to roll backwards. The van ran over my mother resulting in injuring of road rash, scrapes and bruises. Nothing was broken. I am 8 1/2 months pregnant and I had to run and dive into the moving vehicle b/c my 1 year old daughter was asleep in her car seat in the back of the van. I slammed the shifter in park and it came to a stop. I became dilated and began contracting every 3minutes. things have slowed now and I have not had my baby yet. Why does this van not have a beeping sound when the shifter is in drive and the door opens. It constantly beeps if you do not wear a seat belt but nothing sounds if you accidently leave the shifter in gear and open the drivers side door. And why did it roll backwards?

they replace the a/c condensor for 801.they would not cover it under the warrinty said the debree hit it.

What it seems to us and from the diagnosis received from the dealer is that our car has transmission problem. This problem is a well know problem and issued as recalled item by Honda Manufacture. This has been posted on Honda Web site given a specific symtom and issue which matched exactly to our case. In our case, they are refusing to pay for labor charge for fixing this problem, because they claimed that it has been previously put in a adjustment valve to prevent this to happen when they first announced the recalled. To us, this device obviously is not working because our transmission is dying just like any other Honda Odessey with this same issue. We have spoken to many Honda owners and all of them had been taken their car in for a transmission replacement. We have 4 Honda Odessey in our family and at least 3 have been identify with transmission problem. Whether they all been fixed by Honda or not is another case.

My 17 year old son was involved in an auto accident that nearly took his life. the airbags did not deploy on the sides and my son suffered traumatic brain injuries on all parts of his brain, collapsed lung, laserated liver and then needed a blood transfusion b/c he had lost so much 010707. No one has paid a dime, not the insurance or any of the defendants that I have filed claims against that could have prevented all this I need a lawyer for the faulty airbags, and someone that can help me to get what my son deserves b/c he will suffer now for the rest of his life due to negliagence.

Transmissions went out on my 2003 Honda Odessy.

Transmission failed at 125,000 miles

2005 Acura RSX-S. 178 Miles out of warranty, shift linkage breaks. Dealership tells me acura will not do warranty work on car. Contact Acura, confident that they will take care of the problem, as in the last 4 years I've bought two cars from the same dealership and traded in two cars. 5 days after first contact, acura denies goodwill coverage and warranty coverage. Have been a LOYAL acura/honda customer for over 12 years. I WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA PRODUCT again in my lifetime. No one in my family will purchase anything that deals with honda. I will tell my friends and my friends friends how honda refuses to warranty something that would cost them $400 dollars but they want to charge me $800 dollars. Never again. From now on, its BMW or Toyota

We were in a car reck Saturday night. We were hit from behind. We were stopped at a red light when a mini copper hit us going pretty fast. The dirver was 17 and did not have on his glasses, he was alone in the car. When the police came his mom who had arived stated that he had his contact in. The doy did not even get a ticket because the airbags did not pop. The Van was moved and the air bags did not pop. I was in the car with My husband driving and our 4 children. When I ask Honda why didn't the airbags pop they stated you were not hit right, the engine mount was broken, the metal in the rear bumper is sticking out and the electrical system was missed up. It should not matter were you are hit the air bags should have opened and the reason why is bogis.

i have a 2005 Honda CR-V..has 59 Thousand miles on it..brought it in sunday for a 45 thousand mile check up...took it home a day later I'm experiencing what feels like a big nail in my tire when I take off and it stopes when I reach about 40 MPH...took it back to Honda World and they told me that the car I purchased a little more than 2 years ago, a car I have NEVER had off-roading..a car with 59K Miles on it needs NEW AXLES..the front LEFT and RIGHT AXLES need to be replaced..that's why the car feels funny when I take off..it's actually moving from side to side..the service person I spoke to said since the warrent has already expired there is nothing they can do..new axles are about 1350 and Honda will pay half and that is all..my question is if it is a defective part whey shouldI pay anything at all..Honda cant be serious about a consumer expecting to buy new axles after 2 years...calling Honda gets me nowhere.

When driving at 50-60 miles per hr recently, the shut off completly. This has happened 8-10 times ovet the past two-three weeks. I have also ,in the past two encountered a clunking noise when backing up the car. Yesterday I heard a loud whirring sound when I put the car in reverse and tried to back up. The car would not move/engage the reverse gear. It appears that I now have a transmission problem even though the car only has 74k miles.

There was a recall on airbags on my vehicle, in which we took the vehicle in at time of recall. I recently was involved in an accident, in which I had barely started to move forward at a stoplight, but was unable to make a complete stop before rear ending the car in front of me. There was a police officer at the scene, which is why the accident occured as the car in front of me stopped to avoid hitting the police officer.

I have reported that the New Hybrid I baought has a problem and the IAM ligh goes on and many times loses power. This is particularly so on the freeway. I had the car checked by two Honda dealers and they have not were not able to check it because it did not happpen when I took it. One dealer in particular told me I had to go back to the dealer I bought it from. Now, Thursday I took it to another dealer and the problem did not come on, and on Friday my son had a problem with the car. Furthermore, I do not get more than 32-34 miles on the freeway. I also think the milage is not recorded right. I am not familiar with this cars, I am not sure if other people have the same problem.

Supposed to deliver 19 MPG city and 26 MPG country - barely get 15 and just under 20 - dealer says depends on how I drive - am 75 year old retired NYS Police Captain and pretend to know a little on how to get good mileage - wife is a nurse and very careful driver - service man trying to tell me this is only an estimate and is consistent with mileage figures (they put this is SMALL letters under mileage you should be getting on sticker) - Honda doing a mileage consumption test today but doubt will get any satisfaction - car also vibrates and makes noise from engine or transmission - they say it's NORMAL - looking to have them sign a paper today verifying it is normal - have found numerous similar on line complaints that I made copies of - looking for more - do not intend to accept this mileage and will join any class action suit that may handle such matters unless Honda does something for me - please respond with contact info in the probable event they do not address the problem (s) - also should note Honda wants about $2200 for extended warranty - thank you

4-10-07 my wife was in a accident and the air bag did not pop out!

drive belt broke after 49 hours. then i was told it wasn't covered under warranty. i only have 250 miles on it .i'm being told this is a ware out part which i have to pay for. the belt looks almost new and was probly defective when i bought it

I took my car to the dealership on Thursday February 22nd 2007 to replace a timing belt. Before I took the car to this location I had no problems from my power steering. When I picked the car up later that evening I started hearing grinding noises when I would turn my wheel. I called the c/o and left a message on the voicemail explaining the problem.

Just received a letter stating there are two lawsuits against Honda (automobiles)for having inaccurate odometers. It states that the odometer is 4%-6% off. Actual mileage is lower than what the odometer. This is affecting warranties; and, if the case is won, Honda will extend the warranty mileage limits. But, doe this odometer problem also mean that their cars are getting lower MPG than stated for each model?

My Honda (CR-V EX-L 4 by 4 SUV)does not meet the MPG as advertised 22/28 by Honda. It can only reach 21.x MPG at best. Now the car has 5000 miles on it. Unually I drive from home to work and 80% highway and 20% load, it stays on 21.x MPG. I had driven car for 100% highway for full load of gas couple times, the MPG did not improve at all.

I bought my son a 2006 Honda TRX250 for 2005 Christmas. About 4 months ago while riding with friends on a flat dirt road the atv suddenly pulled to one side and started flipping. Thank God that he wasnt traveling at high speed. I took the atv to Rick Case Honda where the atv had been purchased and told them exactly what my son explained happened. It was the opinion of the Service Manager and a Representative of Honda that my son must have hit something.

Driver seat belt will either not engage, or not open at all once engaged. I'm left trying to decide if it's safer to wear it and not be able to get out in an emergency, or not wear it and get out, but maybe squashed. Honda has been telling me since November,2006 that the part is not available. They've made it a critical request, but I still can't get any help with getting this part replaced. It IS a safety issue.

On 11/30/06, my husband was at lunch and returned to the parking lot to find his 2006 Honda Ridgeline burned and fire fighters just finishing up with extinguishing the engulfed truck.

I had an accident on the 29th Oct this year. I was driving on the highway when the traffic infront of me slowed down and i slowed down when the guy coming from behind rear ended me with a severe high impact causing me to rear end the car infront of me (causing entensive damage to thr front), and that car infront of another. Was a 4 car accident. I was the only one who was taken to the hospital and was diagnosed by minor head injury and neck strain. I still have head ache, neck pain and feel nausea, body is sore.The car is a total loss concluded by my insurance company. The front is all smashed and the air bags did not deploy. When they are suppose to deploy? It was my luck that i survived. My seat belt kept me in place otherwise i could be thrown out of the car.

I was in a single car accident in Ely, NV. My car was totalled and I had a broken neck resulting in an anterior fusion of C5-6-7. The driver side air bag didn't deploy but the passenger side did. I was off work for 3 months, I am still in Therapy.

I was recently in an accident, where my front end was struck by and oncoming vehicle at a T. Her airbags deployed. Mine did not. My seat belt was the only thing keeping me in place. I suffered a bruised should from hitting my side window, and some whiplash. I am most concerned about the reliability of the airbag system.

I got into a car accident last Friday and the front of my car is completely totaled. The problem is: my airbag did NOT go off and it should have. The police questioned this as well. I'm pretty worried as to why an airbag would not deploy during a head on collision. So far, my neck and lower back hurts. My car will be in the shop for 3-4 weeks and I want to know how I can go about discussing this with Honda, as I am not content with the non-deployment of my airbag.

In what should have been a simple fender-bender where both parties drove away, my wife was injured by the deployment of her '97 Honda CR-V's airbag. This was very low-speed impact that caused minor damage to both cars involved. My wife suffered severe 2nd degree burns to both arms, in addition to bruises and abrasions to her face.
