| 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 caused by 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. *tr | |||

| Mechanical clip that holds floor mat in place on floor bends and does not hold the floor mat in place. this causes the floor mat to become lodged underneath the clutch, brake and acceleration pedal. car is still under warranty and the dealer fixed this with no question. however, the design of the part tends to be weak and will most likely bend again. *jb | |||

| Tl*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. updated 07/21/09.*jb | |||
