License Plate Lights stops working?? anyone?? would this be part of the warrenty?
yup, apart from the engine break down i also have the window problem. It lost its automatic wind up and down ability.
this being a honda it shouldnt happen. the accord euro from japan would have been a better choice.
engine break down??!! WTF!! that's way too soon for a brand new car.Quote:

tell me about it. i cant beleive it myself. esp having a corolla that is problem free for 9 years. not even a hiccup. now having my honda engine rebuilt already and have a rough engine start and idle than before. told them that the rebuilt engine doesnt sound right. they said they will take a look on the next service.Quote:

hope its better after the service.
Sexythang, if I were you, I'll bug them for as long as they make me happy. a rough engine is not a little imperfection, you've came across a engine rebuild already for a brand new car, I believe you don't want anymore engine problem in the future. I'll try not to leave it too late e.g. next service, go back to your dealer and reflect your disappointment to them. I've had a oil leak on the 1st day and after went back to them 3 times without success(if I remember right, the 1st 2 times they couldn't find out what the problem is, only the last time when I was with them looking, from genuine Honda tech who we rely on), I wrote a letter to the dealer principle and was prepared to address it to consumer affairs and to Honda headquarters, Australia and/or Japan. after the black and white had been sent in, their response improved significantly, and now every time I go in there, I can feel some respect, not just being push around. I recon if you are not happy, let them know and don't let yourselves suffer for something that is not your own fault.Quote:

He will need to address it if not i would go to honda australia again and maybe japan.
extremely angry at the problems. at least an oil leak there is a sort concrete evidence. the noise and vibration is more a 'feel' thing which they will try and deny it as much as possible (as they already have as well as telling me that im affected by the engine rebuild too much and looking more hardly for problems. by the way its harder for me as i cant produce a new civic and show them the difference) but i am supremely confident its not in as new condition as it should be. its too rough for a honda and especially a BRAND NEW honda.
honda japan and honda australia need to watch out. better not let honda service/dealers turn into toyota dealers/service
sexythang, has you test drive another Civic from the same dealership or another one, or maybe get someone else to test drive it also, see if the 3rd person's opinion? I've heard of a whole brand new engine swap from my salesman, he said that Indian guy keep bugging them until they can't take it anymore and swap that for him.
yes. I would love to bug em like hell like an indian asking for a discount on a discounted item. but im also in a service orientated industry so we will be professional about it. I will give them a chance to do all the tests and rectify the problem as they have promised unless they can show me there isnt a problem at all and this happens to all civics. if it isnt then i wouldnt waste time complaining that many times again and just go to top management and will expect good compensation in one form or the other. If not then i wouldnt buy another honda again and will go back to toyota/lexus.
