Consumer Description

EVER SINCE HONDA "UPGRADED" MY BATTERY SYSTEM I HAVE LOST BOTH POWER AS WELL AS MILES PER GALLON. I MUST MERGE ONTO INTERSTATE 680 ON MY COMMUTE TO WORK. THERE ARE MANY LARGE TRUCKS WHO TRAVEL ON THIS INTERSTATE AND IT IS SCARY WHEN I AM MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY, ESPECIALLY SINCE CAL TRANS JUST ADDED A METEORING LIGHT SO I MUST BEGIN MY APPROACH FROM A STOPPED POSITION. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY IMAGINATION THAT I HAVE LOST POWER UNTIL I HEARD ABOUT THE LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION. I WENT INTO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER IF THE LOSS OF POWER IS TRUE (AS WELL AS THE LOSS OF MPGS AND HE TOLD ME YES IT IS TRUE.) I ALSO ASKED WHAT HONDA IS GOING TO DO ABOUT IT AND HE SAID "NOTHING". I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
