| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: A couple of months back i read about a recall on various honda and acura vehicles with regard to an ignition switch problem in consumer reports. the recall affected some 19'97 models, but 1998 and newer accords. i own a '97 accord that is experiencing the same problem. i contacted a local dealer and after almost 3 weeks of aggravating phone calls redirecting me to everyone from the corporate office to the janitor, i was denied inclusion in the recall. some of the excuses were that my vehicle has too many miles on it to be included, that i don't maintain a service relationship with any particular dealer, and that it may just be my key has worn out (both of them at the same time?). i was wondering if it is customary to make such arbitrary decisions when determining inclusion in a safety recall. all those factors listed do not change the fact that my car can roll away after i remove my key. *ak |
