| Class action lawsuit against Honda Canada
Just saw this on the news. First time I heard about it.
Basically, Honda and Acura cars built from 2000-2006 and 2007 Fit's have odometers that are showing higher mileage than should be. Some odometers were out by 4%. http://www.canada-odo-action.ca/pdfs/2-NOTICE.pdf

Anyways, on the news, it said Honda Canada already mentioned they were going to settle. They just haven't finalized exactly what the settlement would be.

They said the settlement should be reached around April and then owners have 6 months or something to be a part of the settlement or something.

Some other people had to pay for repair work because their warrenty expired because the odometers had rolled past the allowed mileage.

I mean, even tire wear can throw the speedometer off. If the speedometer is bang on when you get brand new tires, as the tire wears and you lose some circumference, the speedometer will be off...

In that case, the arguement would be that had the odometer been correct, that the mileage would have fallen within the warranty and the customer would not have had to pay.

Who cares?
Changing to a smaller wheels would have affected that..lol

My car's speedometer is fast by 2-3km/hr. It'll read 60 when I'm going 57-58. Honestly, doesn't bug me. I know how fast I'm going.

BTW, IT boosts up the FUEL ECONOMY by 4% !!! ROFL | If your lease states you can only drive 30,000km, you're being screwed out of 1400km. Most leases require you to pay extra for any mileage over the limit. Imagine paying for it only to find out that it was Honda's mistake. The same goes for your warranty. 50,000km warranty with a 4% mileage mistake means that even though your odometer reads 51,000km, the 4% mistake means that in actuality you're still under that cap. Yes, it may not seem like much when you look at the small picture, but broaden your horizons and you'll see where the difference matters.

If your aftermarket tires and wheels are not proportionate to stock size, your speed and mileage will be out of sync. I wonder how many of these people had aftermarket wheels...

And Honda claims the odometers are off by 4%. What if they were lying and your odometer was off by 5 or 6%?
But then again, maybe some people don't care since they go -1 size on their wire wheels or +4 on their 20 inch wheels.
