Consumer Description

MILEAGE: 133,000- STARTED MY CAR AT HOME AND COULDN'T GET IT OUT OF PARK. TRIED TURNING IT OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN WHILE STEPPING ON THE BREAKS. BREAK PETAL RELEASE AND HIT THE FLOOR. HAD TO TOW VEHICLE TO SHOP. SHOP FOUND THAT ENTIRE UNDER BODY (SUB-FRAME) WAS RUSTED, ROTTED/ LEAKING. BRAKE AND FUEL LINES TOTALLY ROTTED ALONG WITH ENTIRE UNDER BODY, ESPECIALLY NOTED- LOCATED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE STRUT ASSEMBLY, BENEATH THE AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN. TOTAL COST OVER $2,000. ALSO, PAINT PEALING/ RUSTING OFF. STARTED AT 60,000 MILES. AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THESE SAME ISSUES, AND FINDING THAT HONDA IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY (AIR CONDITIONER IS LOCATED RIGHT ABOVE ENGINE) I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO SPEND ANOTHER TIME ON THIS CAR AND WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE. I GUESS PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE HONDA WILL ADMIT MODEL FLAW. I'M SO LUCKY I WASN'T DRIVING WHEN MY BREAKS WENT OUT.
