im a long time user on here, just dont post much
ok, i bought a 2005 honda civic si in november 2007, it had 15,000miles on it when i got it. it ran great till the end of this last may, when all of the sudden the car just bogged down and died while i was driving it only had just over 19,000 miles on it.
i had it towed to the honda dealershhip i bought it from the next day.
they waited 2 days before they even looked at the car, then after they decided they couldnt figure it out they called american honda to see if warrenty would cover it. turns out i was 6 months out of warrenty.
so the car sat there a couple more days and then they decided theyed do a certified used car warrenty for it instead of a manufacture warrenty.
they tore the engine down, and somehow water got in the engine and the whole thing was rusted out. the cams were almost non existent so it had been that way for quite awhile. they couldnt figure out how it happened.
they ordered in an entire new engine, it was supposed to take 2 days to get in, honda didnt even send it out till 5 days later so it took 2 weeks for it to get in. after the engine got in they put it in and it still wouldnt run. they said the fuel injecters were bad so they oredered that in and 2 weeks later the car was running.
that was the first time it was in the shop, alltogether it was just under 2 months of me not haveing a car.
6 days later the car does the same d**n thing, they towed it to the shop. the starter was fried so they replaced that, it took a week.
they called me last thursday at 8:30 at night and said it was ready. starts up runs good, 4 miles down the road the car stalls and i have to push it into a parking lot. as im pushing the car smoke starts pouring out from under the hood, the bater and the starter literally burned out.
had it towed back that night, they replaced what broke and i got it back yesterday. today im comeing home from work and it stalls in the middle of an intersection and i almost got tboned by an f150.
iv called american honda to see if they could get me out of the finance and give me my money back. they said because its under a certified used car warrenty that they cant do anything and that all they will do is continue to fix it.
they have put 9k$ into this car to fix it and its only worth 12k.
iv tried to talk to lawyers but they all want me to pay up front before they even listen to what i have to say.
i really dont know what to do at this point. and im about to lose my job because i have no way to get there.
whats all your oppinions on this?
well i crashed it today, completely unintentionaly tho.
i was comeing up to a turn about 50mph and lost all power, no power steering or breaks and the motor stopped. i couldnt keep it on the road and hopped a 15" curb.
i dont think its enough for them to total it. it blew both right side tires, knocked the front bumper off and bent the right front rim. they havnt looked to see if there was any axle or frame damage yet because there concerned why it stopped.
my biggest concern thos is the airbags didnt deploy, i hit it had enough for them to come out. i busted my head open on the steering wheel because of it.
