Accord

  • Automatic transmission

I purchased this car Feb. 25, 2012 with 5 miles on it. Very EXCITED at the beginning...3 weeks later as I attempt to roll down the passenger side front window nothing is happening. At first, i thought, maybe I locked it...NOPE...DEFECT. Took it to Honda and they had to order a piece to fix it. REALLY??? on a NEW car??? It doesn't stop there. I'm driving the car on April 17, 2012 (YUP not even a whole 2 months after getting the car) and I decide it's a bit warm in the car. I turn on the Air conditioner and a few seconds later a LOUD explosion happens. Now I find myself on the highway pulled over pulling glass from my skin (Very lucky to be wearing glasses). The driver front window just explodes. You may think it can't get any worse...WRONG!!! I brought the car to the Honda dealership to have it serviced and they tell me I can fix it for $700. before we leave it gets down to $600. They give me a loaner and tells me to bring it back on April 19, 2012 (while they finally fix the passenger window). April 18 I receive harassing phone calls to bring the loaner vehicle back early. Not only do they want me to bring the car back but now they want to negotiate the fixing price from $600 to $500 finally down to $346. I refuse to pay them $1.00 for a problem that is clearly a defect. Please, everyone raise your hands if when you turn your AC on (only about 78 degrees outside) your window EXPLODEs...nobody??? I didn't think so...
