| 2006 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE. ALSO, A LOUD TICKING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. IN MARCH OF 2010, THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED UNDER THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V399000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: ANTILOCK: WHEEL SPEED SENSOR); HOWEVER THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETECT A MALFUNCTION. THE DEALER REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE OF THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. |
| 1999 | POWER TRAIN | THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH A DEFECTIVE CVT TYPE TRANSMISSION. COMPLAINED TO AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY AGREED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IF I PAID $504 IN LABOR COSTS. ONE YEAR LATER THE TRANSMISSION DIED AGAIN, I NOW BELIEVE THEY ONLY FLUSHED OUT THE OLD TRANSMISSION I DOUBT THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. I COMPLAINED AGAIN AND HAD IT REPLACED. NOW THE PROBLEM IS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IT COST $80 JUST FOR THEM CHECK THE COMPUTER WHICH HAS BEEN DONE TWICE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR'S COMPUTER WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING SERIOUSLY WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. HAD THE COMPUTER REPLACED AFTER SPLITTING THE COST WITH AMERICAN HONDA SO IT COST ME $396. TWO WEEKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON, I WENT TO ADVANCED AUTO PARTS AND HAD THE COMPUTER CODES READ FOR FREE THEY SAID IT WAS A MALFUNCTIONING O2 SENSOR, NOW THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ANOTHER $260 EACH SENSOR PLUS LABOR TO CHANGE BOTH SENSORS. *JB |
