2002 Honda SiR
I purchased a 2002 SiR in June '06 and about 3 months later discovered
a lot of water in the trunk. Took it back to dealer who had originally assured me the car had been gone over with a fine tooth comb when I purchased it! They checked it out and never found anything and the next day it poured rain and again, the trunk was full of water. I took it back and they once again checked it out and discovered a "gap" between the wheel well and proceeded to patch it and then called me to pick up the vehicle to the tune of $150.00. I freaked out over the phone and told them I would not pay said amount and after speaking to the Used car manager and several heated words later they said they would absorb the cost. Well, that still didn't correct the prob and by now as you can well imagine I was pretty disgusted with the whole mess. The Used car manager said some pretty nasty things to me. I even called Honda Canada but all they said was "this is an internal matter for the dealership to handle"! I called the owner of the dealership and waited several weeks for a call and nothing. Then I called the general manager of the dealership (he is the owner's son) and told him the situation and he listened but a few minutes later had one of his flunkies call and tell me that unless I was willing to pay for them to even look at the car in the future not to bother bringing the car in...well, I had had another appt the following morning to see if they could rectify the "leak" in the trunk and they called shortly after my conversation with the GM and cancelled my appt and said I need'nt bother to bring the car in there again...so I was more or less banned from the place and guess what?? I still have the leak in the trunk and it you can tell that leak has been there for a while as it had begun to rust. They recommended a couple of their garages for me to take it to, duh??? Like I would trust them. Did I ever get stung on this car! No recourse except small claims court and there is more hassle and stress. How can dealerships get away with crap like this?? Why doesn't the common man have any way to resolve a prob like this??? |

Wrote: > Why doesn't the common man have any way to resolve a prob like this??? Try Googling "used car lemon law". There's lots of things about an implied warranty you may not know about. p.s. what's up with quoting the entire thread in your responses? bandwidth ain't cheap! -- Gohan Ryu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gohan Ryu's Profile: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...?userid=250018 View this thread: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=686012 http://www.automotiveforums.com |

2002 Honda SiR
Please bear with me as I am new to this and I am sorry if I ticked
anyone off in my inexperience! As far as my car goes, I didn't buy it as an "as is" item. They were supposed to have gone over it with "a fine toothed comb", eliminating any early on probs.... so to discover a major leak only a couple of months later came as a shock and was a prob I felt they should be responsible for. After all, I did pay over 20 thou for it! As well, the Used car mgr is the one who treated me badly not the other way around and I did not even whine to him. I do have the option of small claims court and have not ruled this out. Running around trying to find someone "honest" to look at this prob and then going to court is all very stressful on top of the already huge amt of stress heaped on my over the simple act of buying a reliable vehicle. Who would have ever thought? I love Hondas but this experience has left a definite bad taste in my mouth. Thank you for all the tips. |
