THE PAST TWO TIMES I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS BELOW THE DIPSTICK. BOTH TIMES I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE WITH 20% OIL LIFE SHOWING. SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD SOMETIMES GETS "BLOCKED". THAT IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT, YOU GO TO SHIFT AND CANT GET INTO GEAR, EITHER HAVE TO GO BACK TO 2ND OR BACK TO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK IN. THE "DOUBLE PUMP SHIFT" USUALLY WORKS. I HAVE ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE SPEAKER DECK RATTLING WHICH I HAD SUPPOSEDLY FIXED UNDER WARRANTY BUT ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

MIND YOU IN OCTOBER ON A ROAD TRIP THE CALIPER MALFUNCTIONED AND I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE BRAKE CLAMPED DOWN ON THE ROTOR. COST ME $850 TO FIX! THIS IS RIDICULOUS

DURING A RECENT INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD THAT MY BRAKES BARELY PASSED AND WOULD ONLY LAST APPROXIMATELY ANOTHER 3,000 MILES. I HAVE 17,000 MILES ON MY HONDA! I INHERITED THIS CAR LAST YEAR FROM MY UNCLE WHO PASSED. HE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2010 AND PUT LESS THAN 4,000 MILES ON IT IN 4 YEARS. I HEARD THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES OF CERTAIN YEARS ON ACCORDS, INCLUDING THE ONE I HAVE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT HONDA WOULD FIX THIS AS A COURTESY TO OWNERS BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS. IN 2015, THIS IS NO LONGER AN OPTION. AT NO POINT HAS HONDA RECALLED THE VEHICLE. HOW CAN THEY GET AWAY WITH PUTTING SUCH CHEAP PRODUCTS ON A VEHICLE THAT COSTS MORE THAN 30K? THIS IS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I WILL FIGHT THIS AND MAKE SUCH A BIG STINK UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS CLEARED. AT NO POINT SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE BRAKES AT 17,000 MILES. THIS IS ABSURD. WHAT CAN I DO AT THIS POINT?

I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN 2010 HONDA ACCORD 4 CYLINDER. I HAD BEEN TAKING MY CAR TO GET THE OIL CHANGED ON A REGULAR BASIS TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. SINCE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, MY CAR STARTED MAKING NOISE SO IT TOOK IT TO DEALER TO CHECK THE REASON. HE TOLD THAT ME THAT MY CAR IS OUT OF OIL EVEN THOUGH INDICATOR SAY OIL LEVEL IS 70% AND THAT IS THE REASON FOR IT'S MAKING SOUND. HE TOLD ME THAT HE COULD NOT DETECT THE ISSUE AND BRING IT ONE MORE TIME. HE TEMPORARILY FIXED THE ISSUE BY FILLING THE OIL. IT AGAIN HAPPENED AFTER A MONTH AND HE AGAIN FILLED IN OIL BUT HE CHARGED ME THIS TIME FOR FILLING THE OIL. HE SAID THAT WE WILL NEED TO DO "OIL CONSUMPTION" TEST AS HE DOESN'T SEE ANY LEAKAGE EITHER. THIS IS REALLY SCARY TO ME WHEN I SEE THAT THERE IS ALREADY CLASS SUIT AGAINST HONDA FOR THE SAME REASON BUT THAT'S APPLICABLE FOR 6 CYLINDERS ENGINE AND NOT FOR 4 CYLINDERS. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT IT, HE SIMPLY DENIED ANY LAWSUIT OR CLASS ACTION OR RECALL FOR ACCORD 2010. IT'S DEFECT IN A CAR BUT NEITHER HONDA ACCEPT IT OR DEALER AGREES TO IT. HOWEVER, I'M SPENDING MY MONEY AND TIME TO FILL IN THE OIL EVERY MONTH AFTER ONLY 1000 MILES. IT'S RIDICULOUS AND FRUSTRATING AS WELL.

IN NOVEMBER, I PURCHASED 4 NEW CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS FOR MY CAR. IN MARCH, DURING POTHOLE SEASON, I QUICKLY LEARNED THAT THESE NEW TIRES HAVE SOFT SIDEWALLS AND EASILY DEVELOP SIDEWALL BUBBLES. I HAD TO REPLACE TWO OF THE TIRES DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. I'VE NEVER - IN MY 15 YEARS OF DRIVING - HAD TO REPLACE A TIRE DUE TO A SIDEWALL BUBBLE. CURIOUS, I TYPED "CONTINENTAL DWS SIDEWALL BUBBLE" INTO GOOGLE AND FOUND ONLINE FORUMS LOADED WITH FOLKS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S PRETTY CLEAR BASED ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE, AND ONLINE REPORTS FROM OTHERS, THAT THE CONTINENTAL DWS TIRES HAVE WEAKER THAN USUAL SIDEWALLS, AND DEVELOP BUBBLES AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE THAN OTHER TIRES. AFTER SPENDING SO MUCH ON TIRES WITHIN A SIX MONTH PERIOD, I ASKED CONTINENTAL TO REPLACE JUST ONE OF THE TIRES UNDER WARRANTY (THE TIRE SHOP HAD MERCY AND REPLACED ONE FOR FREE!). CONTINENTAL'S INITIAL WARRANTY INCLUDES ROAD HAZARD PROTECTION FOR THE FIRST 2/10THS OF WEAR, WHICH THIS TIRE EASILY FELL UNDER. AFTER MEETING ALL OF CONTINENTAL'S REQUIREMENTS FOR THE WARRANTY INFORMATION, THEY HAVE STOPPED RESPONDING TO MY CUSTOMER SERVICE INQUIRIES. THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE THREE WEEKS TO RECEIVE A CHECK. IT'S BEEN THREE MONTHS. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE SIDEWALL ISSUES OF THESE TIRES. IT IS CLEARLY A KNOWN ISSUE, AND CONTINENTAL REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY - EVEN WHEN THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY! MY NEXT COMPLAINT WILL BE FILED WITH THE FTC FOR FALSE WARRANTY CLAIMS, SINCE THEY REFUSE TO HONOR THE WARRANTY UNDER THE RULES THEY DEVELOPED; RULES THAT I MET. CONSIDER THIS FILED COMPLAINT MY OFFICIAL NOTICE TO CONTINENTAL. IF I DIE DUE TO A TIRE DEFECT, THIS NOTICE IS PLACED IN A FILE FOR MY LAWYER.
