yah the Japanese "appliance" isn't always the case though.....

Just recently found two switch lights out/intermittent on my 40K km 04 Accord.

Yet another indicator of poor assembly/parts and yet another problem. (It's had too many.)

Back to the dealership for me too. (albeit for a small problem)

Just proves that any car can be a lemon.

I'm close to buying another Vanagon (there's the VC!) or other simpler VW and selling that car. At least I could mentally deal with the fact that a used car is supposed to have problems and likely be able to fix them myself!

Neil.

81 AC Westy, 04 Lemon Accord.
