ENGINE, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
THE VEHICLE HAS GOOD COMPRESSION, BUT A STRANGE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT IS ALSO LOSING OIL WHILE LEAVING NO OIL MARKINGS. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE, AND WAS GETTING ONE WHEN THE MECHANICS SAID THAT THE NOISE MEANT THAT THE ENGINE HAD PROBLEMS. MULTIPLE MECHANICS HAVE TOLD US TO REPLACE THE V6 ENGINE. THE TIRE RODS ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED, AND THE TSM LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA CONTACTED ME AGAIN REGARDING THE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR. I TRADED THIS CAR INTO AN ACURA DEALER APPROXIMATELY 10 YEARS AGO. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA BY PHONE AND MAIL 5 OR 6 TIMES YET THEY STILL HAVEN'T CORRECTED THIS. SOMEWHERE SOMEONE IS DRIVING A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. I SURE THEY COULD FIND THIS CAR IF THEY FOLLOWED UP CORRECTLY. THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY.

AIR BAGS
MY SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHEN I HIT A VERY DEEP POT HOLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY SAID THEY CANNOT HELP BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON A RECALL BUT THERE APPARENTLY IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE AIRBAGS ARE NOW HANGING IN MY CAR. IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT THESE WILL OBVIOUSLY NOT WORK. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THESE FIXED AS IT CLEARLY IS A MALFUNCTION ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL. TOOK MY HONDA TO GET RECALL DONE. GOT CALL BACK THAT SAID THE RECALL WAS DONE BUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS PERMANENTLY ON DUE TO THE RECALL REPLACEMENT. THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE NEW PART THEY MADE DID NOT SYNC WITH MY SEATS BECAUSE THEY ARE 'AFTER MARKET' SEATS?! MY HONDA WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW BY MY GRANDFATHER AT BREAKAWAY HONDA IN GREENVILLE SOUTH CAROLINA, AND THE SEATS IN IT ARE THE SAME ONES THAT CAME WITH IT WHEN DROVE OFF THE LOT! I NOW LIVE IN NORTH A CAROLINA AND CROWN HONDA OF DURHAM NC IS REFUSING TO DUE ANYTHING ABOUT IT SAYING IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM, AND THAT I NEED TO TAKE IT UP WITH THE SC HONDA LOCATION. TAKE MY CAR TO GET A RECALL DONE AND GOT A CAR BACK WITH AIRBAGS THAT NO LONGER WORK?! DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IT ME. I NOW HAVE A CAR LESS SAFE THAN BEFORE.
