I have been driving honda (accord) cars for over 40 years. Now I own a honda crosstour. great car! I do not drive very much and only locally. my average annual mileage IS about 7,000 miles. my crosstour IS 7 years old now and has just reached 53,000 miles. yesterday I was told that I i need a $1,600 repair to replace the "rack and pinion". apparently a tiny piece IS broken on it. this IS very troubling. even the auto repair told me to contact honda as this should be under warranty.. My car has always been maintained by honda dealerships. This problem was noted when I went for an oil change. I contacted honda dealership and was informed that the rack and pinion IS not under warranty and that new parts are not made. I would be required to buy a re-furbished part. I do not understand this at all. I do not understand how such a serious part of the vehicle, with only local mileage on it, cannot be under manufacturer warranty. and, I was shocked to learn that only "used parts" are available. I am a loyal honda customer for many many years. I am a 75 yr old, senior citizen on a limited social security income. I would like to hear back from a representative from honda's customer loyalty department who can please help me!

Mastercraft SRT touring m+s 225/60r18 tire. the tire had been on the car, bought new, since 2014. the car IS used everyday so it did not sit and dry rot nor does the tire have any signs of dry rot. wife was on interstate in the slow lane driving the speed limit of 70 mph in a straight line. she had just left home with the children and had driven the car approximately 2-3 miles when the tire came apart at the sidewalls on both sides. examination of the tire shows that there was nothing that punctured the tire nor was it going flat or low on air as there was no sensor indicating that it was low on air. we do use nitrogen in the tires and the tires had about half + tire life remaining. the tire has been saved by me along with the valve sensor for examination if warranted. The vehicle IS at the tire store waiting for a different brand tire that was ordered today and to be installed on the vehicle on 2/5/2019. So I do not have any document to upload today.

I was traveling on interstate91 in vermont when my sun roof exploded, shattering glass all over the front and back seats and floor as well as covering me. The noise was deafening and I had no idea what was happening while going along at a speed of 69 mph. I feel honda should have been responsible for this happening, but when I contacted their corporate office they told me they was nothing they were going to do to help if ray the cost!

Takata recall -received notice
- Power train
Axels started causing extreme vibration at approximately 60,000. this IS an issue that involves most of these cars. I made a claim, it honda says issue due to wear and tear. After much research and discussion with my mechanic, it seems to be something defective in the axle. honda refused to give me anything in writing denying my claim, and had made the decision prior to speaking with me.
