REAR LOCK INITIALLY NOT WORKING AND ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED FOR APPROXIMATELY $250. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH LATER ALL DOOR LOCKS REPEATEDLY ATTEMPTED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING AS FRONT DOOR ACTUATOR MALFUNCTIONED. I WAS UNABLE TO LOCK FRONT DOOR ELECTRICALLY, WITH KEY OR BY MANUALLY PUSHING LOCK. ALL DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHILE DRIVING BUT REPEATEDLY ATTEMPTED TO LOCK MAKING LOUD NOISE WHILE DRIVING. FRONT AND SECOND REAR DOOR ACTUATORS NOW NEED TO BE REPLACED AT SAME COST. SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY $750 TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY RIDE IN CAR WITH DOORS LOCKED OR LOCK CAR WHEN UNATTENDED. I AM SURE THE FOURTH LOCK WILL GO SOON AT THIS RATE. THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY AND THERE WAS NOW WAY TO STOP THE REPEATED LOUD NOISE WHILE DRIVING WHICH WOULD HAVE ALLOWED ME NOT TO PAY THE HIGH COST OF REPAIR / *TR

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:AIR CONDITIONER
I CALLED HONDA ABOUT MY AIR CONDTIONING SYSTEM AND DID AS THEY SAID. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO AN ACCREDITED HONDA DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT DIAGNOSED (WHICH I HAD TO PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET). THEY QUOTED ME $4,000. I CONTACTED HONDA USA AND AFTER THREE MONTH I FINALLY HEARD BACK FROM THEM, I INFORMED THEM THAT I WAS NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, THAT I HAD GONE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY HONDA OWNER WHO HAVE HAD THERE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM BREAK. THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN NOT GO BY WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET. WHICH IS TRUE TO A POINT BUT I THINK THEY HAD HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ALREADY BECAUSE THE REPRESENTATIVE USE THE SAME DESCRIPTION I HAVE READ ABOUT THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT, WHICH WAS "AIR CONDITIONING UNIT HAS CRACKED CAUSING SHARDS OF METAL TO PLUG UP THE UNIT, CAUSING A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT. HONDA USA QUOTED ME $3,991 TO FIX MY A/C WITH A DEADLINE OF 60 DAYS TO ACCEPT OR THEY WOULD RECIND THE "DISCOUNT" OFFER. I KNOW A/C PROBLEMS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I FEEL THAT HONDA KNEW OR KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD RECALL OR SHOW THERE LOYAL OWNERS THAT THEY CARE. UNTIL SUCH TIME I AM NOW A FORMER HONDA CUSTOMER. *KB
