Tom Krey Review of David McDavid Honda
Bought a brand new 2015 Accord from David McDavid,...
Bought a brand new 2015 Accord from David McDavid, well 13 and 15 have a design flaw on them. The bottom grill on the front bumper, lets rocks through that are flicked up by other cars on the highway. The rock hits the AC condenser and puts a hole in it, my AC is out. Honda knows of this problem and now I am spending money out of pocket, not covered under warranty. I have always thought of Honda cars as reliable, I was happy that our 1st accord only had transmission, once under warranty the second on me. We got 180k out of that accord. So we bought our 2nd Accord an 08, this being the 1st purchased from McDavid dealership. We have had to replace the power steering rack, power steering pump, alternator, cv axles, and the tires have never worn even from front to back, no matter how well we rotated them. Even with those problems I thought over all, it has been a good car and we still own it today. I wont even go into what happened the 1st time we purchased a new car from David McDavid. This is our 3rd and now It really pisses me off that they know of this problem and push it off on their customers, and it is such and easy fix. When I called in, the manager said well what if a rock came up and hit your ac compressor? I got pissed when I found out he was close and it was the condenser. Tells me he knows of it, and again pushed on me. These are the reasons I moved away from American brands. Why buy Japanese when I can buy American and get the same problems? Maybe not, Buick here I come.
Thought I would edit this post. So I called the manager twice on the number he said to call on and his message said to email him. I have to laugh, why not just leave your email. Well I left messages both times and not a call back. So I fixed it myself, for about 150.00. About 450.00 less than what Honda was wanting. I am done with Honda, had three Accords and all three had problems, especially our 2008. This is a bad design and Honda is aware of it and trying to profit form what they could easily fix. I installed a billet grill insert so nothing can get past the grill to pop Condenser again. Going back to Toyota, or Lexus really will be our next vehicle. Posted some pics. Tried to post pics, but can't find them.
