IN NOVEMBER, I PURCHASED 4 NEW CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS FOR MY CAR. IN MARCH, DURING POTHOLE SEASON, I QUICKLY LEARNED THAT THESE NEW TIRES HAVE SOFT SIDEWALLS AND EASILY DEVELOP SIDEWALL BUBBLES. I HAD TO REPLACE TWO OF THE TIRES DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. I'VE NEVER - IN MY 15 YEARS OF DRIVING - HAD TO REPLACE A TIRE DUE TO A SIDEWALL BUBBLE. CURIOUS, I TYPED "CONTINENTAL DWS SIDEWALL BUBBLE" INTO GOOGLE AND FOUND ONLINE FORUMS LOADED WITH FOLKS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S PRETTY CLEAR BASED ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE, AND ONLINE REPORTS FROM OTHERS, THAT THE CONTINENTAL DWS TIRES HAVE WEAKER THAN USUAL SIDEWALLS, AND DEVELOP BUBBLES AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE THAN OTHER TIRES. AFTER SPENDING SO MUCH ON TIRES WITHIN A SIX MONTH PERIOD, I ASKED CONTINENTAL TO REPLACE JUST ONE OF THE TIRES UNDER WARRANTY (THE TIRE SHOP HAD MERCY AND REPLACED ONE FOR FREE!). CONTINENTAL'S INITIAL WARRANTY INCLUDES ROAD HAZARD PROTECTION FOR THE FIRST 2/10THS OF WEAR, WHICH THIS TIRE EASILY FELL UNDER. AFTER MEETING ALL OF CONTINENTAL'S REQUIREMENTS FOR THE WARRANTY INFORMATION, THEY HAVE STOPPED RESPONDING TO MY CUSTOMER SERVICE INQUIRIES. THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE THREE WEEKS TO RECEIVE A CHECK. IT'S BEEN THREE MONTHS. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE SIDEWALL ISSUES OF THESE TIRES. IT IS CLEARLY A KNOWN ISSUE, AND CONTINENTAL REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY - EVEN WHEN THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY! MY NEXT COMPLAINT WILL BE FILED WITH THE FTC FOR FALSE WARRANTY CLAIMS, SINCE THEY REFUSE TO HONOR THE WARRANTY UNDER THE RULES THEY DEVELOPED; RULES THAT I MET. CONSIDER THIS FILED COMPLAINT MY OFFICIAL NOTICE TO CONTINENTAL. IF I DIE DUE TO A TIRE DEFECT, THIS NOTICE IS PLACED IN A FILE FOR MY LAWYER.

SERVICE BRAKES
IN LATE MAY 2014 I HAD THE BRAKES (PADS/ROTORS) REPLACED ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD, 2 MONTHS LATER IN AUGUST, I HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS AGAIN, - ROTORS WERE WARPED AGAIN, MANAGED TO GET THEM COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, - 2 MONTHS LATER 10/31 MORE BRAKE ISSUES SO TOOK THEM TO THE DEALER (SO NO AFTER MARKET PARTS), ROTORS WARPED, RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF ROTORS AND PADS, - DONE, 2 MONTHS LATER IN DECEMBER 2014 BACK TO THE DEALER (NOW I'VE PAD FOR THEM 2X IN 6 MONTHS)- REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED, NOW, 2 MONTHS LATER IN FEBRUARY - BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE 3RD TIME (1S 2 WERE NOT A DEALER). THIS TIME THEY WERE WARPED, BUT NOT AS BAD - SO THEY MACHINED THE ROTORS BECAUSE THIS TIME I WENT EARLY, WHEN I FIRST STATED NOTICING IT. NO ONE FIGURES OUT WHY... SO, IN TOTAL, MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN WORKED ON 5 TIMES IN 8 MONTHS. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD A HONDA CORPORATE REP TAKE THE CAR FOR A RIDE, THEY WERE ADVISED THERE WAS NOT A BRAKE PROBLEM. BUT THAT RIDE WAS NOT TILL AFTER THEY MACHINED THE ROTORS, OF COURSE THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM - THIS TOTALLY HAS NO LOGIC TO EVEN HAVE THAT DONE! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO HAVE THEM REPLACED - UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT, AND HOW MUCH TIME AND MONEY DO I HAVE TO WASTE, AND BEFORE SOMEONE TRIES TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE CAR IS GOING THRU BRAKES- MAYBE GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT? IN ADDITION TO THESE ONGOING BRAKE ISSUE, I'VE ALREADY HAD TO HAVE THE 3 PISTONS REBUILT (UNDER A RECALL , BUT I HAD TO FIGHT WITH THE MISFIRE PROBLEM FOR 4 MONTHS BEFORE THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING) AND THE STEERING RACK REPLACED (THANK GOD I HAD 100 MILES LEFT ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY). *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
PURCHASED VEHICLE 5/8/2014. DRIVING HOME AND I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND STATED THAT THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE CRAP--WASN'T SHIFTING CORRECTLY AND JUST HAD A HORRIBLE SOUND COMING FROM ENGINE. HE STATED WE WILL CHECK OIL AND TRANSMISSION FLUID WHEN YOU GET HOME. TO FIND NO OIL OR TRANSMISSION ON EITHER. WE IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED DEALER WE PURCHASED FROM AND WE HAD IT TOWED THERE FOR ATTENTION. CAR DEALER CHANGED OIL(WHICH WASN'T MUCH) AND TRANSMISSION FLUID WERE "FINE". PASSING THE BUCK! WE CONTINUED TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT TO FIND WE ARE PUTTING QUARTS OF OIL IN IT. IT HAS HAD 3 OIL CHANGES IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AND NOT DUE TO MILEAGE---DUE TO EACH PLACE WE TOOK IT TO-DEALER-CHANGED OIL, JIFFY LUBE-CHANGED OIL-HONDA-CHANGED OIL AND STARTED "OIL CONSUMPTION" TEST. I HAVE CHECKED OIL IN MY CARS, SINCE I WAS 16 YEARS OLD. HONDA STATING "IT'S NORMAL"--IT'S NOT NORMAL TO HAVE TO KEEP ADDING OIL TO YOUR CAR BETWEEN ONE OIL CHANGE TO ANOTHER, DUE TO MILEAGE ONLY. YOU CAN VISUALLY SEE OIL EVERYWHERE ON THE ENGINE BLOCK AND LAYING ON OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE ENGINE. FIX THE CAR!!!!!! *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I AM PUTTING 1-2 QUARTS OIL EVERY 3000 MILES, EVEN THOUGH THE OIL LIFE INDICATES 80% OR BETTER. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND JUST NOTICED THIS ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO. THE OIL IS NOT LEAKING, IT IS JUST GONE. ALSO WHEN I START THE CAR FIRST THING IN THE MORNING OR WHEN IS COLD, THE TOP OF THE ENGINE MAKES A RATTLING NOISE. THERE IS ALSO A LOUD PRONOUNCED NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS EITHER THE ENGINE OR THE TRANSMISSION, SOMETHING DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
IT WAS A COLD WINTER MORNING, 9 DEGREES TO BE EXACT. I'M IN THE CAR WITH MY 2YR OLD DAUGHTER. I PULL OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT, I MAKE IT 50 FEET AND THE BRAKES BEGIN TO FAIL. IM PUMPING THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO A CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AT A STAND STILL. I HIT THE BRAKES A SECOND AND THIRD TIME I GLIMPSE DOWN WONDERING WHY IS THE CAR NOT SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING I CONTINUE STOMPING ONTO THE BRAKE. I STARTED TO SCREAM IN REALIZATION THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. I COLLIDE INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR THAT WAS AT A STAND STILL. THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I WAS NOT EVEN A FULL 2 BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY HOME I COULD NOT COMPREHEND HOW MY BRAKES JUST FAILED AFTER I REPEATEDLY PRESSED DOWN ON THEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCED THIS. I CROSSED AN INTERSECTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THANK GOD I HAD THE GREEN LIGHT AND THERE WAS NO ONE CROSSING. THE 2 PEOPLE IN THE CAR I COLLIDED INTO WERE ALSO FINE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE AT HONOLULU, HI, HONDA PFLUGER (NOW PACIFIC HONDA). WITH THE PROPER MAINTENANCE, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PERFORMING SATISFACTORILY UNTIL NOW. ONLY MINOR DEFECTS WERE NOTED, SUCH AS BATTERY REPLACEMENT WITHIN THE 3-YEARS OR 36,000 MILES WARRANTY. ON 01/08/15, WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALER IN AUSTIN, TX, BECAUSE, FOR THE LAST THREE WEEKS, WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS SAT FOR A WHILE, THE BREAKS WILL NOT WORK WHEN BACKING UP: THE PEDDLE GOES ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN AND STICKS, WILL NOT GO BACK NOR DOWN, AND THE HAND BREAK HAD TO BE PULLED UP TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IN ORDER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TESTED, WE LEFT OUR VEHICLE AT HOWDY HONDA. THE NEXT DAY, THE MAINTENANCE CONSULTANT INFORMED US THAT THE BREAK MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING INTO THE BOOSTER, AND THAT A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF SUCH PART WOULD BE NECESSARY. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WOULD BE $946.00, PLUS TAXES, BECAUSE THE PART WAS NOT COVERED BY THE VEHICLE?S WARRANTY. ON THE HONDA WARRANTY BOOKLET, THE AFOREMENTIONED PART IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF NON-COVERED PARTS (PAGE 9); THE MALFUNCTION HAS NOT BEEN CAUSED BY THE IMPROPER USE OF OUR CAR: WE HAVE NEVER USED IT FOR BUSINESS OR UNUSUAL SPORT OR OTHER ACTIVITIES; THE MASTER CYLINDER IS THE ORIGINAL PART INSTALLED BY HONDA; AND NO THIRD-PARTY TECHNICIAN HAS EVER ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR IT. THE DEFECT IN THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER IS VERY UNUSUAL; ALMOST ANY 2010 HONDA ACCORD WITH 31,409 MILES SHOWS THIS KIND OF ISSUE. HENCE, WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER MALFUNCTION IS A CASE OF A PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE IN MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP UNDER NORMAL USE. FURTHERMORE, THE ABOVE DESCRIBED PART MALFUNCTION REPRESENTS AN ENORMOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHICH POTENTIAL PERSONAL, PHYSICAL, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGES AGAINST US AND THIRD PARTIES. THE CAR IS INOPERATIVE IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION. *TR
