·I know this is about Honda cars but it is relevant since we have the same issue on our Wings.
Yesterday I got a notice from the United States District Court, Eastern Division of Texas about a class action suit filed against Honda for odometers reading high on Honda and Acura cars. Maybe some of you got the same notice. If affects Hondas and Acuras built from 2002-2007.
This woman, Karen Vaughn, filed this suit against Honda complaining that the odometer in her 2002 Odyssey overstated the mileage by 2.0% to 4.0%. I had to laugh because this has been a regular topic by new Wing owners over the years. We all know of this error and that the speedometer is usual high by double what the odo is.
If the lawsuit is successful, all that will happen is this: Honda will extend the warantee period by 5%. If a car has a 36,000 warantee, Honda will extend it to 37,800.
People who leased cars from Honda can recieve a rebate if they had to pay for going over the terms of their lease.
The best part is that, if settled, Karen Vaughn will get $10,000; Sharon McQuiston will get $1,000; and the lawyers will get $9.8 million. At least that's how I read the notice.
