I HAD A RECALL OF A PREVIOUS HONDA CIVIC, THE DEALER TOLD ME I NEEDED $800 IN REPAIRS TO MY SUSPENSION, I TOOK THE CAR TO A HIGHLY TRUSTED LOCAL SUSPECNSION SERVICE, THEY SAID THE ONLY THING THAT NEEDED DONE WAS AN ALIGNMENT. THEY HAD THE PROBLEM LIST FROM THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THEN, FRIEND OF MINE BOUGHT A NEW TOYOTA FROM LARRY MILLER TOYOTA. WHEN HER CAR HAD 18,000 MILES ON IT THEY TOLD THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID NEEDED REPLACE, AND OTHER WORK NEEDED DONE, THEY CHARGED HER OVER $200! WE KNOW THAT IF ANY WORK NEEDED TO BE DONE ON HER TOYOTA IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY, SHE HAD OWNED THE CAR LESS THAN 2 YEARS. SO, THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED. I WOULD LIKE TO GET HE AIR BAGS REPLACED, ANY SUGGESTIONS?

POHANKA HONDA (CAPITOL HEIGHTS, MD) - ADDRESSED THE PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL. HOWEVER, IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING SERVICED, THE WARNING LIGHT(S) REGARDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG REMAINED ON (WHEN IT SHOULDN'T), AND DID NOT INDICATE (OFF) WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE. I REPORTED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD - THAT IT IS UNRELATED TO THE RECALL THEY HAD ADDRESSED, AND IT WAS A "SENSOR" ISSUE SEPARATE FROM THE RECALL WORK. THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE FOR ME PRIOR TO HAVING THE RECALL ADDRESSED, BUT NOW I HAVE THIS ISSUE AND I'D HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT ADDRESSED. HOW DO I KNOW IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL REPAIR WAS DONE CORRECTLY, HOW DO I KNOW I AM NOT DRIVING AT RISK...WHY AM I ORDERED TO PAY TO RESOLVE SOME ISSUE THAT WAS NOT APPARENT BEFORE TAKING MY CAR TO THIS DEALERSHIP.
