AFTER PAYING $1000 FOR THE SERVICE WE ARE NOW FACED WITH A $6300 BILL FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION.

IT WILL TAKE ANYWHERE FROM ONE TRY ONE HOUR WORTH OF TRIES TO GET IT TO START UP AGAIN. THE VAN HAS LEFT MY FAMILY STRANDED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALER, AND THEY TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL. I DON'T BELIEVE A VEHICLE WITH 7000 MILES NORMALLY DOES NOT START, AND CAN TAKE UP TO ONE HOUR TO START. THEY ALSO HAVE TOLD ME THAT I AM FLOODING THE VEHICLE-EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT TOUCHING THE FOOTFEET AND HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN A FUEL INJECTED VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE TO THE POINT THAT WE DO NOT EVEN WANT THE VEHICLE, BUT OUR DEALER DOES NOT SEEM TO TAKE US SERIOUSLY. I READ A COMPLAINT THAT A CUSTOMER FILED STATING METAL WAS SENT THROUGHOUT HER VEHICLES FUEL LINES. HOW CAN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHECK TO SEE IF THIS IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONTINUALLY TELLS ME THEY CAN DO NOTHING UNLESS THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAS YET TO HAPPEN. I AM VERY TIRED OF BEING STRANDED BY MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE. *AK
