Complaint

WHEELS
THE VEHICLE HAS DEFECTIVE UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND FLANGE BOLTS WHICH CAUSE THE TIRES TO WEAR FAST AND DANGEROUSLY, AS WELL AT CAUSE THE CAR TO SHAKE IN THE BACK WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE CAR AND HONDA WILL PAY FOR IT BUT ONLY IF THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. BY THE TIME I BOUGHT THE CAR AND NOTICED THE PROBLEM IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! IT IS A DEFECT! THEY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I SET THE SPEED, USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, AT 65 MPH OR 70 MPH. UPON ENCOUNTERING A HILL THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN TO AS MUCH AS 60 OR 65. EVENTUALLY THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL KICK IN AND THE AUTO-THROTTLE WILL ACCELERATE THE CAR QUICKLY TO 5 MPH BEYOND THE SET SPEED. IF IT WERE SET AT 65, THE CAR MIGHT ACCELERATE TO 70; SET AT 70 IT MIGHT GO TO 75. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, IT MAY TAKE A COUPLE OF SECONDS FOR THE THROTTLE TO DISENGAGE. SEVERAL TIMES CARS HAVE PASSED ME WHEN THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SLOWED GOING UP A HILL. AFTER PASSING ME, OTHER VEHICLES THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO PULL BACK INTO MY LANE, IN FRONT OF ME. IF THE CRUISE CONTROL KICKED IN AT SOME POINT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEY PASSED, AND MY CAR STARTED RACING FORWARD, PUTTING LITTLE OR NO DISTANCE BETWEEN MYSELF AND THE CAR THAT JUST PASSED ME, THEN I HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR THAT JUST PASSED BECAUSE MY CAR WAS LUNGING FORWARD. UNKNOWN TO THE CAR THAT PASSED, IT WAS NO LONGER SAFE FOR THEM TO PULL BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE (TWO LANES GOING SAME DIRECTION). UPON COMPLAINING TO TWO DEALERSHIPS, THEY STATED THAT WHAT I WAS SAYING JUST WASN'T TRUE, BUT THEY WERE UNWILLING TO TAKE A TEST DRIVE WITH ME TO CONFIRM MY EXPERIENCE. THEY NOTED THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS, BUT STATED THAT THE GAIN AND LOSS VARIANCE IN SPEED WAS NO MORE THAN 2 OR 3 MILES PER HOUR DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. I BELIEVE HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF THIS DANGEROUS FEATURE, AND THAT THEY ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO SWEEP IT UNDER THE RUG. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THEY CAN FIX IT, OR TAKE THE CAR BACK. AT THIS POINT, I REALLY DON'T CARE. I DO NOT LIKE HAVING A CAR WITH A FEATURE I CAN NOT USE BECAUSE USING THE FEATURE CREATES TOO MUCH OF A ROAD HAZARD. *TR
