POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE TO THE SPEED THE RPM'S INDICATED. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THIS OCCURRED EVERY 50,000 MILES AND THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN REBUILT A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT MAINTAINED THAT EVERY 50,000 MILED THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THUS FAR TWO REPAIRS WERE MADE. HOWEVER, THE FAILE RECURRED, AND A THIRD CLUTCH REPAIR WAS NECESSARY, HONDA SHOULD REPAIR THE CLUTCH UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. *AK

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR REPAIR BECAUSE THE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED. IT COST ME $248 FOR REPAIRS. IN THREE MONTHS THE REGULATOR FAILED AGAIN. OF COURSE THE REGULATOR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY DECIDED TO RESEARCH THE PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THEY FOUND A REPAIR BULLETIN EXPLAINING THAT THE CONSTANT USE OF THE WINDOW CAN CAUSE MINOR FRACTORS IN THE REGULATOR AND THEN CAUSE IT TO FAIL. NOW THEY TELL ME THAT THE REGULATO WILL NOT COST ME ANY THING I DO HAVE TO PAY FOR PARTS AND LABOR RO REMENDY THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD TO ORDER A REPAIR PLATE TO STABLIZE THE REGULATOR. SO IN ADDITION TO THE $248 I ALREADY PAID, I NOW HAVE TO PAY $283 TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM WHERE I FEEL ACURA SHOULD BE PAYING FOR. I CAN NOT JUST HAVE THEM REPLACE REGULATOR WITHOUT THE PLATE OR THEY WILL NOT WARRANT THE NEW REPACEMENT REGLATOR. THIS REPAIR WAS DONE AT MODESTO ACURA. 209-527-7000. JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION. I ALSO CAN NOT FIND THAT BULLETIN THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT.
