NHTSA Complaint #10911362 — 2014 HONDA ACCORD

TAKATA RECALL:MY CAR WAS HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. I STOPPED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF ONLY FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, I GOT BACK IN, TURNED THE CAR ON AND IT WOULDN'T START. I WAS ON A CITY ST, SO I WALKED TO AUTO MECHANIC SHOP, GOT A JUMP, IT STARTED UP AFTER 5 TO 10 MINUTES. THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPEN. I CALLED HONDA, GOT SOMEONE TO JUMP START THE CAR, DROVE TO HONDA, LEFT THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS. HONDA CALLED ME STATING THAT THE BATTERY WAS GOOD, BUT THE SENSORS WERE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY REPLACED THE SENSORS, CHARGED ME $160. I PICKED UP THE CAR, DROVE IT HOME, THEN 2 DAYS LATER, THE CAR DIED OUT AGAIN. I CALLED HONDA AGAIN, THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN. I GOT THE CAR JUMPED IN ORDER TO TAKE IT BACK TO HONDA. THIS TIME, I LEFT THE CAR THERE FOR 3 DAYS. THEY TOLD ME THIS TIME THAT THE BATTERY WAS BAD AND WANTED ME TO PAY FOR A BATTERY. I REFUSED TO PAY FOR A BATTERY, SENT THE MANAGER AN EMAIL IN REFERENCE TO THE FINDINGS THAT THEY SAID WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IN THE BEGINING, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BATTERY AND NOW I PAID FOR THE SENSOR AND THE CAR STILL CUT OFF. DID I REALLY NEED THE SENSORS OR WAS IT THE BATTERY IN THE FIRST PLACE? THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AT NO CHARGE. .
