I purchased a Honda Accord 2003 on January 28, 2003 from Fairfield Motors, Inc. (Route 23 Honda) in Pompton Plains, NJ. Since I bought the vehicle, I have had to return it to the dealership a total of six times. My vehicle has been out of service for repairs for a total of 30 calendar days and counting (it is still at the dealership). .
My vehicle has been in Route 23 Honda on the following dates for repair of the following defects:
3/3/03 – Gas door spring problem
4/21/03 – Brake problem (master cylinder replaced)
5/21/03 – Brake problem and air conditioner problem (master cylinder replaced and part order for A/C)
5/28/03 – Air conditioner problem (condenser replaced)
6/21/03 – Brake problem and radiator leak (Final opportunity to repair) (replaced ABS modulator and
radiator)
7/11/03 – Brake problem and air conditioner problem (still in the service department)
Honda has not been very helpful in resolving these problems. Their customer service and mediation group are useless. I would not recommend purchasing a Honda.

Well, if you read my original complaint regarding my defective transmission - you know that I am very unhappy about this car and Honda in general. Now my master brake cylinder is malfunctioning. My brake light and TCS light came on and stayed on. Nothing seems wrong when I drive but the dealer ran a diagnostic and they say the master cylinder and some sort of brake switch needs to be replaced. I am very angry that a car that is only four years old needs a new master brake cylinder. I will eat this bill only because they fixed my transmission free of charge but I am very angry and worried about what the next part will be that breaks down. My advice to anyone who reads this is "don't buy Honda!" They once made good cars but now they don't.
