| 2007 | SUSPENSION | WE BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW FROM THE DEALER IN '07. WE HAVE BEEN PUTTING 3 TO 4 SETS OF TIRES ON THIS CAR PER YEAR, FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS, THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE....IT RUNS IN TO MONEY AND IS VERY UNSAFE IN THE WINTER TIME. WHILE CHECKING ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE ALL FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. EVEN REPLACING THE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, WE HAVE TRIED, AND SO HAVE OTHERS. THIS COMES FROM THE FACTORY. HONDA PRIDES THEMSELVES ON SAFETY...THIS IS NOT SAFE...THE CAR IS CONSTANTLY FIGHTING WITH ITSELF ON THE ROAD THEREFORE WEARING TIRES. PLEASE CONSIDER A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. 08 001 WAS A CODE I READ ON THE INTERNET, I'M NOT SURE WHAT THIS IS, BUT SUTHERLAND HONDA IN FREDERICTON, N.B. WILL NOT MAKE ANY COMPENSATIONS FOR THIS DEFECT. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT AS OF YET WILL NOT DO A RECALL. PLEASE HELP US BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED ON THE HIGHWAYS. *TR |
