| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1999 honda accord dx sedan. the clutch went out recently. according to honda, they have a service bulletin out for this problem. however, honda says this problem is due to faulty manufacturing from a vendor at original assembly. instead of repair or replace the part that is faulty the whole clutch assembly must be replaced due to new manufacturing and design specs. so instead of a cost of @ $150.00 it will cost me @ $500.00. plus there are no assemblies available - it's back ordered due to the demand of this assembly because of the failure of the original. as of this time - even though honda freely admits the to bad manufacturing -they are offering no reimbursement or offer no assistance for a rental car. i've been without a vehicle for 3 weeks with no repair date in sight. *nm |
