Consumer Description

THREE TIMES WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR MY AUTO TENSIONER HAS BROKEN DUE TO A POOR DESIGN BY HONDA. THEY ONLY COVER FIXING IT UNDER WARRENTY. WHEN IT HAPPENS I LOSE ALL FUNCTIONING OF MY BELT INCLUDING POWER STEERING, ALTERNATER, AND WATER PUMP. LUCKILY IN EACH INSTANCE I WAS NOT DOING A TURN OR HAD A STEEP TURNING COMMING UP BUT I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IF THERE WAS ONE AND IT WOULD RESULT IN A CRASH OR THE CAR OVERTURNING POSSIBLY. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND EACH OF THE 3 TIMES IT HAPPENED SUDDENLY WHERE I HEAR A SOUND AND MY BATTERY LIGHT TURNS ON. I TOOK IT TO MIDAS TO REPAIR IT AND IN EACH CASE IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN A WEEK OR LESS. HONDA KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT DID NOT EVEN WARN ME OR WARN MIDAS ABOUT THE PART NEEDING TO BE REPLACED UNTIL THE 3RD INCIDENT. *TR
