Does this letter want money to join the class action suit by any chance?

 

i found this after a quick google search.

no request for money that i could tell. The law.com site is basically exactly what i got in the mail word for word.

I did have my E in the shop in Septmeber for a yearly check- up. Maybe they have access to records of scheduled mantenance and sent a mass mailer to people who had work done based on mileage.

 

oh, goody! a couple of shysters in texas get millions in legal fees for odometers being off. makes me want to puke!

 

fer- shizzle

 

If my odometer is out a little bit - who freakin cares!

All this will accomplish is to help drive up the cost of our next Honda - among other things - and line the pockets of some useless lawyers

The Eagles put it in song:

The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
Let's kill all the lawyers - kill 'em tonight :razz:

Just say no to frivolous lawsuits!

 

according to my gps my odometer is dead balls accurate so i can't imagine all of the other odometers would be off 2-4" unless the tires were changed.

 

Just use the odo out of wack excuse next time you get a ticket!

My GPS says that my E is running 2 miles per hour faster when I am at sppeds over 30 mph....

 

A Misreading Odometer Does Matter

I care that my odometer may not be reading correctly. Check out my post on the following thread and you will see that if not for the grace of an outstanding dealership, a misreading odometer could make the difference in whether or not something is covered under warranty or not.

Now, I understand that I am only one example. But think of all the people that might be denied coverage for a defect that would be covered under warranty simply becuase the odometer is wrong, or people that wouldn't even try to utilize the warranty because the odometer says there is no more coverage.

 

good point

You'd efectively loose 1 month over the course of 3 years.

However for most people there will not be an issue in this time frame. At 5 years (60K) then you'd have more wear and tear and have lost 2 months from the waranty.

But overall it makes Honda look bad for not getting the quality parts from their subcontractors.

This is the link to the class action litigation:

http://www.odosettlementinfo.com/

the Final Notice states that your mileage warranty will be extended by 5%. Example, a 3 year/36,000 mile new vehicle limited waranty will be extended to 3 years/37,800 miles.

Do you think that any of the E owners that change the tires from the stock stock size get the odo recalibrated. For example, yours. You are actually cheating yourself by 2%, if my calculations are correct.

That would be true, except I didn't change my tires until the odomoter read over 57,000 miles.

 

Got my letter from Honda today.

 

ok not to sound stupid

so what do we do register with Honda and say I want the longer time frame and that is it? I mean I am no where near the time frame of milage or anything but I have not gotten anything about this as of yet. I am going to call the number in the am and see what gives. Humm caint wait timm Mom hears about this one being that we both have the samer car.

Another question If I get rid of the wonder full tires that I have what would warrent recalabrating the odometer if I change tire size? I intend on keeping the same tires size just a diffrent tire.

To quote Charlie Brown UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

I got my notice today and , quite frankly, I think they owe me about $600.00 for work done just outside the warranty. I was a month out and they wouldn't even offer a good faith warranty on the needed repairs.

???? Not good public relations for Honda I agree but if you were out of time on your warranty, what difference does a possibly inaccurate odometer make?

I think that is Florida. Dealers in Florida do not want ot do anything. A month and how many miles?

 

I had checked mine with a GPS and the GPS said I was doing 70 when the speedometer said I was doing 74. Can these be calibrated like Doges or Chevys?

 

If you DON'T opt out, you might have to pay lawyer fees?! Wha--?!

I also just got my letter... I'm not sure if this is the correctly/main/only thread about this, but I'm a bit concerned and wanted to get your opinions. The letter kind of says at the end that, if you don't do anything, then you're automatically opted-in, but if if you don't opt out, you may be object to "Class Councels' request for attorneys' fees and expenses" (8c on the letter). What the hell?

Is this accurate? So if we don't want to potentially be hit with lawyers fees, we have to take the time to opt-out of something we never opted-in in the first place? How is that okay or even legal?

Or am I reading this wrong...?

What are the rest of you posters doing?

Thanks!

 

Do not worry

The way I understand it, is that if you do nothing you will be covered. On the other hand, if you feel the Honda deal is not good enough, you can choose to go it on your own and as a result, will have to hire an lawyer and all the expense to try to get a better deal.

BTW, I feel that most cars have a 1-2% issue with the odometer. I have to hand it to Honda to admit and offer this as a solution.

Yeah, it does seem to say that if you do nothing, you're covered. But it also specifically says on the last page, that if you do nothing (i.e. DON'T opt-out), then, "you may be object to "Class Councels' request for attorneys' fees and expenses" (8c on the letter). So don't worry about that part either?

Thanks!

 

So Honda settled the lawsuit:

Honda (HMC) is notifying 6 million owners of Hondas and Acuras that they are entitled to warranty extensions and, in some cases, payments because odometers in their vehicles rolled up miles too fast.

Vehicles covered in the deal: 2002 to 2006 Hondas and Acuras bought from April 13, 2002, to Nov. 7, 2006. Some 2007 Honda Fits also are included.

 

I got my letter today.
