Consumer Description

CAR WAS DRIVEN OFF THE LOT WITH 7 MILES ON ODOMETER IN APRIL 2010. PASSES ALL NH STATE INSPECTIONS. HAD NO INDICATION THERE WAS ANY ISSUE WITH CAR UNTIL I WENT TO REREGISTER IN JANUARY OF 2011. CAR WOULD NOT PASS NH STATE INSPECTION BECAUSE THE EMISSIONS MONITORING COMPUTER WAS IN A DEFAULT STATE. HAD DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE NH STATE INSPECTION TO PASS AFTER REPLACING A RELAY. IN JANUARY 2012, HAD SAME ISSUE. THIS TIME THEY REPLACED A MAIN ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX. AGAIN IN 2013, FAILED NH STATE INSPECTION. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE, BUT WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TO PASS. AGAIN IN JANUARY 2014, THEN JANUARY 2015. DEALERSHIP TALKED WITH HONDA ENGINEERS, BUT NO RESOLUTION WAS AVAILABLE. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS DUE TO THE WINTER AND THE SLOW TURNOVER OF THE CAR WAS DROPPING THE ELECTRICAL POWER BELOW 10V, AND RESETTING COMPUTER. NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS RESULT. *TR
