CAR CUT OFF WHILE IN STORE FOR FIVE MINUTES WAS TOLD THAT IF YOU LEAVE KEYS IN IGNITION WHILE OFF IT DRAINS THE BATTERY. NO CAR IN MY LIFE THAT EVER HAPPENED AFTER LEAVING THE RADIO IN THE CAR ON AND DRAINED THE BATTERY. *TR HAD A PROBLEM WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF BUYING A 2008 HONDA. CAR CUT OFF AND WOULDN'T START. AND IT DID IT AGAIN LAST NIGHT TOOK IT IN BEFORE AND THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN BATTERY WAS FINE AND THEY CHECK THE BATTERY TODAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS NO GOOD BUT IT HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR AND IT HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE AND WHICH SHOULDN'T HAPPENED CUT OFF LAST NIGHT AND NO KEY IN THE IGNITION AND BATTERY DIED. SPOKE TO [XXX] STORE MANAGER AND SPOKE TO SERVICE MANAGER AND REFUSE TO CHANGE THE BATTERY. ALL THEY DID WAS CHARGE UP BATTERY. CAUSE THEY WANTED ME TO PURCHASE A BATTERY FOR 159.00 WHICH THERE IS A PROBLEM. BECAUSE THERE WAS A PROBLEM FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. AND BROUGHT IN FOR SAME THING NOW LESS THAN A YEAR. HONDA TOLD ME THAT IF YOU LEAVE KEY IN CAR THAT THE CAR STILL IS DRAWING POWER EVEN THOUGH KEY IS OFF. I KID YOU NOT MY MOM WAS IN THE CAR FOR FIVE MINS AND BATTERY DIED. HONDA OF ROANOKE RAPIDS DON'T CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DOING WHAT IS RIGHT TO SATISFY THE CUSTOMER. BATTERY WAS GOING BAD BEFORE. I WILL NEVER BUY A CAR AGAIN FROM THEM. AND I HAVE THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AND AMERICAN HONDA FORCED ME TO GET IT AND WONT COVER SQUAT. I WAS FORCED TO TAKE IT BY AMERICAN HONDA OR ELSE THEY WOULD APPROVE MY LOAN. THIS WAS HONDA OF ROANOKE RAPIDS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
