I purchased a 2013 Honda Accord Touring from Formula Honda early this year as my first car, before purchasing I was informed that the car was previously fully serviced at Formula Honda and all required service has been performed. About a week or two of owning the car, I receive a letter from Formula Honda stating that it's time for a timing belt change. I had purchased the car at 190,000km and the timing belt service was due at 160,000km (30,000km overdue). I thought this was a mistake but I confirmed with Formula Honda, they told me that the previous owner refused to have the timing belt changed, yet I was informed that all service has been done on the car when I bought it. Later on the car had electrical issues, where it would start then shut off, had to get it towed to Formula Honda and had to pay the diagnostic fee and $500 on top of that to have the problem fixed. As I'm driving the car home, I realize that the A/C wasn't working, so I had to bring it back and I had to pay the diagnostic fee again for them to tell me my whole A/C system has to be replaced for $1800 as it was damaged. I was very skeptical because my A/C system was working perfectly fine prior to bringing the car in. As a student, it's very hard to cope with all these unexpected finances, I'm giving 3 stars because even though I'm having these issues, the sales and service team were very nice to me.
