Consumer Description

I BROUGHT MY RAIN BECAUSE OF A WOO KING SOUND IN 2014, 2015 HONDAREPAIRED PARTIALLY UNDER WARRANTY COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS. WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY THE CAR NEEDED TIE RODS REPLACED/TIGHTENED I PAID FOR THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS POSING A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN. I'VE RECENTLY EMAILED AND CALLED HONDA THEY ARE REFUSING TO COVER THIS BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE DEAPITWTHIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE FRONT END IS STILL WOBBLY AFTER REPAIRS WHICH I BELIEVE IS A DEFECT IN THIS MODEL.
