When car was 8 months old with about 25,000 miles on it, it began stalling. Only premium shell gasoline was ever put in this car. Injector cleaner was put in a few times with no results. Car was taken into one dealership to be told first that "she must not be pushing the clutch in all the way" at which time they did an extensive testing of the clutch. We had both told them this was not clutch related as the car would also die in neutral. So then they came to the conclusion that it must have been bad gas, at which time they gave it back. The second time they decided it was bent valves, which "could only have been causedby driver downshifting". This is not the case, but was still told it would cost $2600.00 to fix, because honda would not warranty it. So, i attempted to take it to another dealer who after waiting (not on people in front of me, just waiting for someone to help me)15 minutes, and having driven 15 miles on my lunch hour, i was rudely approached and hatefully asked "what i was there for". After explaining the situation with the car, he said "oh, okay so we're test the valves again?" and "there will be an $85.00 diagnosis fee". At which time i said forget it and walked out. I called honda corporation this morning just to explain it all over to them and then asked what they could do to help, i was told they cannot make a dealership do anything. There is a recall for honda engines but i was told that the engine in the s2000 does not have the same fuel delivery system so it doesn't apply, even though the car has the same symptoms. It stalls several times a day and this has been going on for a couple of months. Absolutely nothing has been done to fix the problem.
My 2006 honda s-2000 has had an ongoing issue with high cold start idle that can exceed 2500 rpm making the vehicle dangerous to operate until sufficient time has elapsed for the engine to warm up.after numerous complaints to honda of north america customer service, honda arranged for me to drop the vehicle off at a local honda dealer to repair the issue.after three days with the vehicle in their possession, honda now states that; the idle speed for the vehicle is normal and no defects could be found in the car.they further state that the vehicle is only safe to operate if given sufficient time to warm up.
A slit, about 1" long, appeared in the convertible top rear quarterpanel. Yesterday, i noticed on the other side of the car, in the exact same spot, an indentation, about to become another slit. Honda dealer and customer complaint both notified. They have nothing on file about this issue and offered no solutions. There obviously is an issue with the retraction mechanism design or function. Wear on a retracted convertible top , to the point of penetration, is unacceptable.
The convertible top on my honda s2000 has ripped for the second time. The first time the top was replaced under warranty. Under independent examination the top was found to have an engineering defect where the fabric top rubs against a sharp metal component of the top frame causing a tear.
The contact owns a 2006 honda s2000.the contact stated that the metal link on the convertible top was placed directly over his skull.in the event of a crash, his head would strike the metal link and cause injuries.the manufacturer advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer to check if the issue was due to a manufacturer defect.the contact feels that this is a safety hazard and wants the manufacturer to provide a hard top.the current and failure mileages were 16,000.the convertible top has a protruding metal joint and other unshielded metal pieces.
