“On friday, july 31, 2015 I brought my 2005 Honda Civic ex [which was in good working condition with no srs or mil lights on] to Honda of kingston on broadway to be serviced on august 1st for the takata air bag recall. When I picked up my car on monday, august 3rd they told me everything went well and that they had also performed a complimentary inspection of my tires, breaks, fluids etc. -- something they never informed me they planned on doing, something I would have never consented to in the first place. They also failed to inform me that my srs light was now on, and what that means. …”

Dealership damaged integrity of dash by hacking out an unseen section as shortcut, used duct tape for electrical wiring, and left a piece of dash padding in my AC system. This was discovered june 2018 when changing cabin air filter.”

“Trunk lid latch malfunction. Lid does not close all the way causing it to open when seats & windows are down driving on the highway. The nylon inside the latch has worked it's way out causing the latch to bind and not close properly, thus making the trunk not actually locked. Is a security risk and also a safety hazard to others on the road. If you had a lot of belongings in the trunk they would be scattered all over the highway.”
