I OWN A 2000 HONDA S2000 CONVERTIBLE. SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THE REAR WINDOW HAS STEADILY CLOUDED TO THE POINT THAT I CAN NO LONGER SEE THROUGH IT. MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER (JONES HONDA, 1335 MANHEIM PIKE, LANCASTER, PA 17603 717-394-0711) TELLS ME THE ENTIRE ROOF WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE WINDOW. THE COST IS IN EXCESS OF $2,000.00. I KNOW SEVERAL OTHER S2000 OWNERS AND THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO THEIR REAR WINDOWS.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CASE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER SINCE IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER GLICH AND THEY RESET THE COMPUTER. A WEEK LATER ON A TRIP TO TEXAS THE LIGHT RETURNED. WE TOOK THE CAR AGAIN TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALER IN TEXAS. THEY CHECKED CAR AND REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES. THE LIGHT STAYED! THEY THEN SAID THAT CYLINDER 2 FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL DAYS! THEY TOLD US TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BACK HOME TO OKLAHOMA AND THEN TAKE IT TO OUR HONDA DEALER. WE DID AND NOW THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER SAYS THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS CYLINDER 2 REPLACED! THEY SAY IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE WE REVIVED THE RMPS TO HIGH. WE DID NO SUCH THING AND THEY WANT $1700 TO FIX THE ENGINE BECAUSE OF FAILURE. WE WILL SOON BE FILING SUIT AND CONTACTING THE BBB SINCE THEY WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE WARRANTY! I HAVE READ AND SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS
I HAVE A 2000 MODEL S2000 AND THE TAIL LIGHTS HAVE FADED FROM RED TO WHITE ON THE CORNERS OF THE TAIL LIGHTS. THIS IS A SAFTEY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED QUICKLY AND EASILY. I WILL CONTACT A DEALER TO SEE IF THEY CAN REPLACE THE TAILLIGHTS FREE OF CHARGE. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM FOR ANYONE WITH THE PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED TWO HONDA PRELUDES AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED AND DID NOT EXPECT A PROBLEM LIKE THIS ON ONE OF THE BEST CARS HONDA MAKES PRICED 10K MORE THAN MY OTHER HONDAS. *LA

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
I OWN A $32,000 HONDA S2000. AFTER ONLY 3 YEARS, MY TAIL LAMPS ARE SO FADED THAT THEY APPEAR ALMOST WHITE. WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, IT LOOKS LIKE I'M IN REVERSE! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IN MY EYES AND IN THE EYES OF THE COP THAT GAVE ME A TICKET FOR IT. I WENT TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO GET THIS FIXED, AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT THEY SAID THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I TOLD THEM IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T CARE, WORD FOR WORD! "THAT IS NOT OUR PROBLEM", IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY SAID. THIS IS SURELY MY LAST HONDA! I'LL SPEND MY $32,000 OR MORE SOMEWHERE ELSE. HONDA'S LOSS.*AK
