I am staging a protest outside of Honda of Escondido (So. Cal.) due to Honda's negligence in providing a working, reliable transmission to me with my brand new car.
At 2,000 miles the 3rd gear started to grind. This is unacceptable from any auto maker from a car with such low milage. At first they denied they could reproduce the issue (liars). Then, they replaced the clutch once. They yelled at me for driving it too hard and said I'd have to pay for future repairs, even though I drove it perfectly! Clutch was replaced 2x after this, both times
at my expense, even though the car is under warranty and only at 10,000mi!! They still deny the 3rd gear problem. I am not the only one with this issue and this certainly is not just about my lemon but everyones'.
Because of this I have no choice but to bring this issue to the attention of the people and media.
The
PROTEST will be from
9AM to
2PM on
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND at:
HONDA OF ESCONDIDO
1700 Auto Park Way North
Escondido, CA 92029
I will be handing out shirts with the attached logo on both sides for free, and will be persuading ANY customers to reconsider even THINKING about buying a Honda.
BRING AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN, I KNOW YOU ARE AS PISSED OFF AT HONDA AS I AM!!!
