What owners wrote

In decemeber 20012 I was in bad accident the was not a fault of mine. My car was struck twice on diver side. I was driving home I received a fracture wrist and two fingers. My arm was burned from from the air bag. I still have scar and I still have to wear my wrist brace from time to time. At the time I was clear that they had a recall on air bags until I placed my info in to the site. I do have pictures I just have to find them or contact my attorney who handle my accident case.

I have a 2008 honda accord ex-l I picked up new in the fall of 2007. To date I have just over 30,000 miles. Today, (4/12/10) I took my car to my local honda dealership for an oil change. I was told that my rear brakes were at 5% and repair cost would be $330.00!!! I mentioned I paid an additional $2,200.00 for an "extended warranty "on top of the $28,000.00 sticker price back in 2007. Today I asked the honda advisor what does my $2,200.00 "extended warranty" cover? He said nothing mechanical.
