Quick question, my car meets the specifics on this class action suit. 19uu5..., my question is if the plaintiffs win, and byb how i read the pdf file on it. i can contact my honda/acura dealership adn demand the warranties provided by the court?

 

If you have a failure in that period the dealer will automatically take care of it. Just like they do for the 7 yrear 100k extension already in place

 

again, just to clarify ... i bought my 02 tl-s w/o any of the dealership warranties, thinking bout the reliability of honda/acuras. This shouldnt matter right coz of the class action suit right? Apologies if im a bug, i love my tl-s and im just nervous bout the whole situation. Thanks!

 

Doesnt matter if your a 2nd 3rd 4th owner. It applies to all tha cars in the vin range (unless you have a salvaged title)

 

Thanks a lot! Feel a bit of the relief as far as the cost of tranny ish replacement! THANKS FOR THE INFO!

 

thats so gay that salvage title doesnt count in this...yes i understand the car was written off, but still...their tranny sucks balls

 

Yea but they dont know if the tranny was damaged in the cause of the salvage. Why should they be responsible?

 

because it was the designers fault, and basically aftermarket shops/dealer use the same design, and cuz of it, is why the tranny fails....u and i know and lots of peeps know, if theres the accident, and if they didnt know the tranny was damaged at the time, it would show signs that it was damaged from the accident, yes, but because of the design of the tranny, i say would overrite the issue that it was damaged from teh accident.

 

I still havent gotten my letter )=

 

mine either

 

Doesnt matter if you get it or not. your car is covered

 

Unless you want to opt out.

 

opt out for $$$$ ???

 

Are you sure about that? When I called Acura, they told me that the extended warranty doesn't apply because my car showed up as a salvaged title. Believe me, had I known it had a salvaged title, I never would of bought it. None the less, it's mine now so I have to deal with it. But after reading the letter about the class action suit, and also the .pdf file on line at that www.hondatransmissionsettlement.com, in no where did it read or say that cars with salvages title were excluded.

If it did read that, can ANYONE please point that link out to me, or at least that section.

 

Once the car has a salvaged title, that is a good enough reason for any dealer to deny warranty service, whether it is mentioned or not in the document you are reading, it is not covered. You will have to refer back to all other documents eventhough it is not mentioned in other documents. Let's take one example, someone drove the car underwater then took the car to the dealer for all repairs, and argued that the manual did not mention not to drive underwater. As you can see it is clearly not covered eventhough it is not mentioned anywhere in the document.

 

Aren't cars with salvaged title suppose to go to scrapyards ? Why would people still drive salvaged-titled cars ?

 

salvage titles don't neccesarily mean that they have to go to a junk yard. it means that the car is declared a total loss, but one can do repairs on it and sell it as a salvage title. most banks will not issue loans towards cars with salvage title. you should have done your homework and used carfax before you bought the car. there are plenty of katrina cars out there (flood damage). you have to watch out.

 

Well for one it should have been disclosed that it was when you bought the car. If not id go after whoever sold you the car.

And 2, yes im sure about it (honda themselves told you that as well) . ITs the way it is with all cars. Once it has a salvaged title car manufacturers/dealers are no longer responsible for warranty work. To my knowledge the only thing that has to be done is Recall work which this is not a recall.

 

^ Recalls HAVE to be done regardless of salvage. that's it. also, i believe any safety related devices, such as airbags/seat belts.

 

Hence what i wrote

 

i know, i was just verifying, not trying to be mean. ;]
