Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS CAR PRE OWNED AT 15K THE BACK BRAKE WENT OUT ON THIS CAR AFTER 1YEAR AT 24K I REPLACE BRAKE MYSELF I WAS CURIOUS WHY WOULD A BACK BRAKE WEAR OUT SO FAST ON DOING ONLINE LOOKUP I FOUND NUMEROUS OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM SO I CALLED HONDA REGIONAL OFFICE AND I GIVEN A REFUND FOR THE EXPENSE. NOW LAST YEAR JUNE I NOTICE COLD RATTLE START ON MY ENGINE AND NOW IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING LOUDER. I DID A LOOK UP ONLINE AND MY MECHANIC SAID IT VTC ( VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL ) ACTUATOR WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. I THINK HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THIS SINCE MY CAR NOW HAS 80K MILES I MIGHT BE OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR
