Honda Motor Company is a Japanese automobile and motorcycle manufacturer, headquartered in Minato, Japan. Honda was the eighth-largest automobile manufacturer in the world in 2015. Soichiro Honda, the founder of Honda, was interested in automobiles his entire life. The initial automobile produced from Honda was the T360 mini pick-up truck in 1963. Honda was Japan’s first automobile manufacturer to manufacture a dedicated luxury brand, Acura, in 1986. In 2007, Honda launched its marketing slogan, “The Power of Dreams” which it still uses today.
Though the Honda brand has many great aspects to it, not all Hondas are as good as they should be. The brand has gained popularity over the years, but some of their vehicles are leaving their drivers frustrated. Some of these vehicles can be considered lemons under Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York law.
If you have purchased a Honda that is having maintenance or mechanical problems that don’t seem to be going away, contact the top Honda Lemon Law experts of David Gorberg & Associates for information on how the Honda Lemon Law process functions in PA, NJ, and NY.
Is My Honda a Lemon
To begin the Honda Lemon Law process, it must be determined whether or not you truly have a lemon vehicle on your hands. You should make sure you understand the basic criteria that must be met in a Honda Lemon Law case or buyback program. First of all, the vehicle must still be under the manufacturer warranty. This criteria must be met for all cars, including purchased or leased, new or used. The next criteria determines whether or not the issue either reduces the value of the vehicle or poses a risk to passengers or other drivers on the road. One of these conditions must be met to qualify for a Honda Lemon Law case. Finally, it is necessary that you have given the manufacturer an adequate number of chances to repair the mechanical defect of the automobile.
Common Honda Lemon Law Defects
Honda vehicles have some concerning known issues. Honda is currently being investigated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regarding faulty airbags in the 2008 Honda Accord. Honda has recalled more than 628,000 vehicles in the U.S. to replace fuel pumps that can fail, which causes the engine to stall. The recall covers much of the Honda and Acura model lineup from 2018 to 2020. Even the best car manufacturers make mistakes with potentially dangerous outcomes, which can leave consumers frustrated and concerned about their safety.
Honda has confirmed several deaths and hundreds of injuries in the U.S. related to the Takata airbag driver’s front inflator ruptures in the field. Millions of Hondas have been recalled due to this issue. Find out more about this issue in Honda’s informational video.
There are other known issues with certain Honda models. While the list continues to grow, here are a few popular Honda automobiles that have experienced recalls for various defects:
- Honda Accord
- Honda Civic
Many car owners are familiar with Honda issues and many have filed complaints with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to make other owners aware of defects. Some consumers complain of unresolved issues that end up costing them out-of-pocket. One complaint to Honda reads:
Our Honda Civic has been well cared for. We bought it new in 2018. There were a few recalls and we had to take it in when the air conditioner stopped working. The Honda goes into the dealership for tune ups and oil changes when it is time. Now the driver side door handle broke. I looked it up on line and it is a common problem. We took our Honda to the dealership where we told to get the part at a junk yard yard and take to it a detail shop to have it painted. They also said someone else needs to install it. WHAT? We treat our Honda well and are told to get our part from a Junk yard? OMG! Also, the air conditioner is acting up again.
If you are like many Honda owners who have consistently experienced various issues, you may be entitled to compensation under the PA LEMON LAW, NJ LEMON LAW or the Magnuson Moss Warranty Improvement Act. The types of compensation allowed include a buyback of your defective vehicle, a vehicle replacement, or a possible cash reimbursement for damages incurred due to the defect.
