| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1. was not informed by the dealership at time of purchase, that the speedometer/odometer is inaccurate by approx. 10%. 2. constant travel (esp highways) at speeds unsafe for flow of traffic has resulted in car and truck drivers to tailgate, get upset and cut me off (shifting lanes back and forth), and flashing lights at me from behind (very upsetting at night). everyone know there are added risks when driving a motorcycle and the defective speedometer unnecessarily adds to the potential for injury. 3. i have spoken to honda, both dealership and national customer service. they are aware of the defect. the say all vehicles have inaccuracies and while they admit the issue, suggest driving a little faster than the posted speed limit in order to keep up with the traffic flow. as a result, nothing has been done. *jb |
