Consumer Description

JUST AS MANY OTHER COMPLAINS, DAUGHTER GOT INTO CAR AFTER CLASSES AND COULDN'T STEER CAR IN PARKING LOT. NOTICED CHECK POWER STEERING LIGHT ON. DAD CAME TO TAKE HER HOME SINCE NOT DRIVABLE. RESEARCHED ISSUE AND NOTICED TROUBLES WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS. WENT BACK TO CAR NEXT AM PREPARED TO HAVE TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP AND PROBLEM WAS GONE. DROVE CAR HOME SINCE DIDN'T WANT DAUGHTER TO DRIVE IT. TOOK TO LOCAL HI DA DEALER SERVICE AND SAID NO ISSUES WITH STEERING BUT NEEDED REPLACEMENT AIRBACN FOR $1200! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. WE ALSO HAVE A HONDA MINIVAN (SECOND ONE) THAT HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES RECENTLY.
