POWER TRAIN
THIS AND OTHER HONDAS I OWN CONSISTENTLY MISREPRESENT THE SPEED AT WHICH THE CAR IS ACTUALLY TRAVELLING. I USED TO BE INADVERTENTLY CAUGHT IN THE PASSING LANE GOING WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE LEGAL SPEED LIMIT, ONLY TO HAVE OTHER DRIVERS RIDE ON MY REAR BUMPER. I FINALLY HAD THE SPEEDOMETER CHECKED ON THIS CAR WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR AN EMISSIONS TEST. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE; IN ADDITION IT SMACKS OF OUTRIGHT FRAUD SINCE IT APPEARS THAT HONDAS GET BETTER GASOLINE MILEAGE THAN THEY DO, AND THEY RUN OUT OF WARRANTY SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES SOONER THAN THEY SHOULD. IT ALSO CAUSES EXTRA MILEAGE FEES TO KICK IN SOONER FOR THOSE WHO LEASE.*AK

WENT TO HONDA SERVICE, BUT SERVICE TECH HAD NO ANSWER, WAS NO ASSISTANCE. ALSO ASKED ABOUT 5/1999 TECH BULLETIN FROM AMER. HONDA TO INSTALL AIRBAG SWITCH (CHILD RIDES IN FRONT OF CAR) - SERVICE TECH SAID NOT AWARE OF BULLETIN, DID NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE. ASKED SERVICE TECH WHY OIL DIPSTICK PREMATURELY RUSTING-OFF, ON TOP (EVERY DEL-SOL I'VE SEEN HAS THIS PROBLEM... RUST COULD EVENTUALLY GO INTO ENGINE CRANKCASE) BUT SERVICE TECH HAD NO EXPLANATION, DID NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE. THE FIRST 2 PROBLEMS COULD LEAD TO PERSONAL INJURY, AND THE 3RD PROBLEM COULD LEAD TO ENGINE FAILURE.*AK
