Consumer Description

PASSENGER WINDOW GOT STUCK ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND DELAYED IN ROLLING BACK UP. ONCE IT ROLLED UP I SET THE WINDOW LOCK BUTTON SO IT WOULDN'T ACCIDENTALLY HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE HAVING WET WEATHER. YESTERDAY, 1ST SUNNY DAY, HAD ROLLED DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER WINDOWS DOWN. PARKED AND ROLLED UP WINDOWS. WHEN GOT BACK INTO CAR 10 MINUTES LATER, NOTICED BAD SMELL AND YELLOW SMOKE COMING FROM MAIN WINDOW CONTROL PANEL ON DOOR BEFORE EVEN TURNING THE IGNITION ON. HAD TO PULL THE FUSE FOR THE WINDOWS TO STOP IT FROM SMOKING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I BOUGHT IT OFF THE LOT. REPLACED PART ON MAY 21, 2011 AND PAID OUT OF POCKET. AGAIN HONDA IS ASKING ME TO PAY FOR INSPECTING AND REPLACING OF THIS PROBLEM. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS! I RETURN TOMORROW NIGHT TO PICK UP MY CAR. *JS
