I own a vehicle that falls into this category and received a class action notification yesterday.
What if I have no current mechanical problems but then an issue related to this misfire problem occurs 6 months or one year from now? Will my vehicle still be covered under the suit? As I understand the notification I do not qualify unless I have current problems. Am I correct in my understanding of this notification?
Sincerely,
Kit
I also own a vehicle that falls into this category (2012 Accord) and received my notice on 12/9/13. I have the same questions as Kit. The odometer is at just over 7,000 miles plus I got an extended warranty at the time of purchase. I’m wondering how, if at all, this class action lawsuit will benefit me?
I am writing from Canada and need clarification, WHO sent you both the Notice of a Class Action Lawsuit? I live in a media deprived area of Ontario and knew nothing about the Class Action in June 2013 when I purchased a new 2012 XL NAV Crosstour. This issue was never disclosed by the Salesman. All I remember is that when he handed me the keys, he stated that we should check the engine oil at every fill-up of gasoline. I thought this was very odd, after owning vehicles for 45 years.
My experience with Honda Canada is that they are artists at deception. The first 3 X in the shop they never even wrote up a Work Order with my complaint written verbatim, signed by myself and given a copy before leaving the Service Desk. No wonder they are rated #1. No paper trail of problems, makes for a clean slate.
When we experienced Deceleration problems, the Service manager stated it was our fault, we must have been Misapplying the Brake Pedal, when in America TSB # 13-031 was out to correct this problem. This could cause very serious rear end collisions, especially at high speeds. My NAV unit is also in the process of melting down for the second time. I spent the night in ER July 2nd. from inhaling noxious fumes. One Crosstour owner from Massachusetts had a fire with melted NAV unit, carpeting burnt etc. after shutting the car off for the night in New Brunswick Canada.
