Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. BEFORE BRINGING THE CAR BACK TO AUTOFAIR HONDA IN MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE; WE REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES OF A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE CAR. THE SMELL WAS SO BAD THAT WE CALLED OUR CITY'S FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE FIREFIGHTERS COULD SEE AND SMELL THE SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. WE MADE THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AND NEVER ONCE DID THE DEALERSHIP PUT THE CAR UP ON THE LIFT OR DO A COMPUTER TEST TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM THEY RESOLD THE CAR TO ANOTHER PARTY WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM. *TR
