Recalll 01v182000;consumer contacted yenko honda on rt 19 I mcmurray, pa. Phone#724‑941‑9100 and was denied service because vehicle wasn't purchased from that particular dealership.
Consumer was traveling about 60mph on highway and vehicle stopped. He lifted hood up, and there was gasoline sprayed all inside of engine compartment. Vehicle was towed to the dealership.
Bought car for mileage. Sticker shows 39/32. Actual highway has been 32! Dealer & honda say estimate only. I say there must be something wrong with the car. No safety defect listed.
I purchased this car because it was advertised as a fuel efficent vehical. They advertised 31 mpg in city driving 38-42 highway. I have had the car for 4 months. Never used the air conditioner. Drove moderately and am getting 19 mpg. I guaged it by the number of gal. Pumped not from gas guage in car. I have reciepts and a log of all miles and gallons put into the car. The dealer tested it and said it was getting 26.3 driving 10-30 MPH. I am unable to get even that which is a substancial amount different than the amount advertised. I am dissapointed and frustrated with the performance and would like to notify honda.
Fuel guage does not register correct levels of fuel, cause unknown. Please give any further details.
