NHTSA Complaint #10497919 — 2003 HONDA CIVIC

I HAD TAKEN FOR A RECALL ON MY HONDA 2003 CIVIC EX AT MCDAVID HONDA OF IRVING. I RECENTLY HAD A OIL CHANGED AT MCDAVID HONDA OF IRVING. AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE IN MY CAR'S PERFORMANCE. ITS TAKES A LOT TO THROTTLE THE CAR FROM START TO RUN, IF ITS ON INCLINE ROAD. THE GAS MILEAGE HAS GONE DOWN FROM 30MPG TO 27 MPG. WHEN ASKED TO HAVE A LOOK AT IT, THE SERVICE ADVISER SAID "$ 99 FOR DIAGNOSE." WHEN I TOOK THE DELIVERY AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE, I NOTICED MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME-ON. I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISER ABOUT THE LIGHT, HE SAID THE LIGHT WAS ON WHEN I DELIVERED THE CAR TO THEM. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT, AND THE LIGHT JUST CAME ON BY ITSELF. THEY TOLD ME, I HAVE TO PAY $99 TO HAVE HONDA TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I TALKED TO AMERICAN HONDA, THEY SAID "AS YOUR WARRANTY HAS FINISHED, AMERICAN HONDA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY REPAIR AND SERVICES PERFORMED BY ANY AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALERSHIP". *TR
