Consumer Description

THE CAR DIED WHENEVER WE COME TO A STOP, BREAK TO TURN, OR SLOW DOWN FOR RED LIGHT WITHIN THE FIRST TWO MILES OF BEING DRIVEN ON ANY GIVEN DAY. THE PROBLEM IS RE-CURRENT AND OCCURS WITH GREATER INTENSITY AT LOW TEMPERATURES. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, BUT IT HAS BEEN UNABLE TO IDENTIFY OR FIX THE PROBLEM. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH HAS REVEALED DOZENS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINS AND INABILITY OF HONDA DEALERSHIPS TO PIN POINT AND FIX THE PROBELM. WE CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT THEY ARE DISMISSIVE OF THE ONLINE COMPLAINTS. THE CAR IS OUTSIDE WARRANTY AND WE ALREADY SPENT SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS ON SUGGESTED FIXES.
