| Feb 201780000 miUS $9000 | So after having this car for almost a year and driving it a little under 20,000 miles since purchasing this car used from a Honda dealership here in Raleigh NC (Leith Honda) I experienced the AWD system shutting off and the check engine light coming on upon accelerating. It would still drive in front wheel (2 wheel drive mode). I didn’t think much of it after all the lights in the dash went away after turning off the car then starting it back up. It got progressively more frequent and eventually stayed on all the time. I took it invto the dealership (at under 80,000 miles) and was told that “the turbocharger has gone bad and I needed to replace it”. I asked if they could repair the turbo without replacing it, and I was told it would end up being just as expensive, and that it would not guarantee to fix the problem. So I went to get a second (mom & pop shop) and third (another dealership) opinion before coming to the conclusion that this turbo was going to need to be replaced. I Kelly blue booked the vehicle to find it was worth $9,000 at best. The last place I took it to (Performance Acura in Durham NC) said I would need a new steering column bearings or something like that, which would have put me over the $9,000 that the car was worth. So I decided that it was no longer worth keeping a HONDA vehicle that was just shy of 80,000 miles and had driven it almost 1 full year. I was furious.... So I traded it in for an American Diesel truck. Lesson learned: don’t buy a Honda with a turbo in it. It will be a disappointment!
