yeah i complianed to the customer relation manager cuz my dealer told me to wait around and i was like i buy a car to get me to places eg(work) the main thing not to wait around in a work shop so she has organised a courtersy car for me very greatful though donno y they cold not just do that on first request which wouldve saved alot of trouble which dealer did you get yours from?.. i got mine from homebush larke hoskins the service department dude there is the worst man havnt seen any more ruder dude but the larke hoskins in rosbery offers top customer service
Please let us know how you go on the 24th as I have NOT had an offer from anyone for a Tech to have a look at my car, well other than the dealership one, whom in my honest opinion is not qualified to diagnose the problem. As far as I am concerned this needs to be addressed by Honda Australia in conjunction with Honda Japan, as far as I am concerned this is a fundemental problem that goes back to the manufacturering process as it is also occurring in other countries including the USA and some people in Europe.
I also fail to see where the onus is on the customer to constantly be disadvantaged and disrupted by returning a new vehicles to the dealership for the same issue a number of times. I am currently seeking assistance from legal representatives as I feel this is not good enough. The Office of Fair Trading whilst good do not have the legal bite that other countries have for example the various State "Lemon Laws" in the USA, and thus I will be going with what I am being told by professionals, thus should I go the Office of Fair Trading route I will only do so under advice.
Frank, could you also proof read what you write as it is difficult to understand at times...
i got mine at rick damelian but have been dealing with peter warren due to them being closer to home.
i was told that the honda guy is comming in the morning, so he is probably driving mine first then probably drive yours afterwards.
i'd encourage anyone with this problem in syd to book your car in for this problem on friday the 24th at peter warren or larke hoskins. the more the better.

It is odd, because if it was pinging, then the manual Euros should also have the same problem.Quote:
