hi guys im going email Honda UK about this and other steering problems

i know i sound a total moan and winge on and on,but i feel were getting a rough ride for such a new car!

let me know what age/milage it had covered before requiring work?!
did honda fix it or did you go somewhere else to have it fixed!
or wether its still not fixed and what honda has told you with regards to the problem.

even if it was in the past and is fixed i'd like to know

so if you've had problems do fill in the poll i do appreciate it! 8)
cheers.

It was very unnerving under hard acceleration and if I released the wheel it pulled to the right. The car was only 4 weeks old when I decided enough was enough and I'd goto ABP Motorsport and let some professionals sort it out. I'd read so many stories on here about people getting no joy with Honda so I thought I'd save myself the hassle and go elsewhere.

It is an unbelievable difference. It's given me a lot of confidence in the car.

Been back to the dealer twice and in the end told I was an inexperienced driver (30 owned MR2 and GTV) and the pulling was a characteristic of the car!!!!!!

Just waiting for a good time to go to ABP now cos I reckon thats bollox!!!!

Two different problems with mine:

1. Several return visits to have a creaking/knocking noise looked at which developed about 3 months from new resulted in no joy. Dealer said they never found anything wrong After 11 months the noises magically disappeared and have not returned. I'm going let sleeping dogs lie on that one.

2. I had a 4-wheel alignment done (by the dealer) after kerbing a wheel and knocking the steering out. Two new front tyres fitted at the same time. Some of both the front AND rear settings were way out but were adjusted to within the manufacturers tolerances without the need for any replacement parts. All was fine and the car drove straight again but two weeks later it starts pulling to the right and has been getting worse for 2 months now.

Just waiting until I have time to book it in AGAIN.

Cheers, guys this is great keep it up Name and shame the dealers!IMO

im getting somewhere with Auto-express, but as for Honda
they don't appear to want to know!


come on i know theres more of you had trouble out there, even if its fixed i would like to know when it occured Mileage/age etc,
