Description of the problem | Went to start car. Would not start on first try. Tried again and put car in reverse to back out of garage. Put car in park and noticed the dashboard lit up like a christmas tree. Fcw failed, ldw, air bag, check engine, power steering abs & tire pressure warning lights all came on! Turned car off & started calling to make appt with dealership. The dealer we bought car from had a response of "next available appt is tuesday". When i tried to tell her what was wrong she repeated "next available appt is tuesday" click. Okay, since i paid for a 7 year extended warranty i called a different dealer. Millennium honda had an appt for 1:00pm. I immediately brought it in. Waited for over 4 hours before asking about my car. "oh, we haven't gotten to your car yet. But it should be going on the lift pretty soon." it was after 5:00pm when i was informed that they wouldn't be able to get to my car on thursday. I asked for a loaner car & decided that it was better that it be seen first thing next morning. Friday morning comes & goes & i don't hear from them so i drive over there. They hadn't even put my car on the lift to check it yet! When asked why i was told i was next. Okay, they put my car on the lift & check it out; take it for a test drive; bring it back. Service manager "russ" comes over to me and says that the car isn't going anywhere. There was a problem with the engine harness system. He tells me that it's due to corrosion. I ask how long will it take to fix? He then tells me that the engine harness is not covered under my extended warranty. Are you kidding me???? He then says that it would cost $2800 to fix & they have to order the part! I feel as though my car is being held for ransom. This car has only 12k miles & is only a little over 3 years old. My car is involved in a battery sensor recall. Could that be the problem or is it common practice to price gouge? |
