Default This car is cursed

I've had my Sebring MY05 since Sept. 2005. In 14 months I've had two hit-and-runs, cracked windshield, replaced two torn up wheels (not my fault), electrical problems and now...

While parked at Tysons Corner Honda waiting for replacement of multi-function switch... I came by Friday evening to get my insurance and SmartTag for the loaner car. First thing I noticed was how crookedly the car was parked. Then I noticed this:



Since no one called from the dealership to notify me, I raised hell in the showroom (service folks were MIA) until I got a repair authorization in writing. Unbelievable!

Inexcusable. At least you got an auth for it. Good luck.

I know the feeling Diane. Stefanie (my fiance) swears my car is cursed and after the last round I am begining to believe her, but I still deny it.

1) Two weeks after I bought the car I got keyed
2) Top needed to be replaced at 17k miles
3) Cracked windshield
4) Car in front of me threw a chunk of metal gaurdrail up on the highway and destroyed my front bumper
5) One week after replacing the front I was rear ended

But I won the Hardtopguy Comptech Suspension Raffle at WTD and honda replaced my top under warranty, so I have had some good luck as well.

Sucks it happend, but at least they are gonna take care of it.

They say bad luck comes in threes. You are over your limit. I hope this latest problem gets resolved soon. How clean are you living??

Urgh! Dealerships stink! As mentioned at least they admitted it! (not like you gave them a choice!)

Diane, isn't this the same dealership that took your car for a morning coffee run after you dropped it off for an oil change?

That's Tysons/Rosenthal Honda for ya. Don't even get me started on how much I hate that place. I've already sworn to never take my car back for so much as an oil change.
