problem #3

Civic

  • 56,020 miles
My husband and I took over the car from his aunt in 10/2005, at 56,020 miles. The car has been well taken care with periodic oil changes and some maintenance. On 12/22/2008, when it was of 82,409 miles, the check engine light was on. This time we did pay some amount for other services but due to financial hardship could not pay for the torque converter replacement, as advised at kolbe Honda at reseda. After the service performance, the check engine light was off. However, on 6/15/2009, we had no choice but to replace the car's transmission and torque converter for $690.69 (on the 70/30 split).

Paint is developing crows feet in four seperate places. Dealership sent me to a contracted body shop for evaluation to determine whether it should be covered by warranty. Body shop said that it was due to bird droppings or sap. Had environmental protection package applied at time of purchase. I wash this car on a weekly basis and hose off bird droppings as they are noticed. These places are also on the side of vehicle (not a flat surface). I find this impossible and believe it to be a defect in paint. Blemishes and loss of gloss continue to develop in the paint. Landmark Honda did offer a fix to this problem and it is unacceptible. Warranty information about environmental protection package should have been mailed to me immediately after application. It wasn't. dealer explained a couple of weeks ago that they purchase an insurance policy on the paint with the application and that this was never done. They turned around and purchased this insurance after the fact, mailed me the warranty info with 800 number, and asked me to wait two weeks before contacting them so that it wouldn't be suspect. I believe this to be insurance fraud and as much as I do want the car fixed, I don't want to break laws in doing so. No safety defect mentioned.
