Condemned for misleading consumer Honda will appeal

Following a complaint by Heather Peters, owner of a hybrid Honda Civic, 2006, an American civil court condemns manufacturer Honda misleading consumption.

The lady considered misleading consumption ratings announced in the advertisement of the manufacturer.

Figures of fuel consumption measurements by American Environmental Agency (APA) were 4.8 L/100m in urban driving and 4.6 L/100 km on the highway. For its part, Ms. Peters has succeeded in proving that the consumption of its hybrid car far exceeded advertised dimensions in advertising the manufacturer.

The court granted him a compensation of $ 9,867.

It will not stop the

Since then, the U.S. Department of Justice records of complaints of at least 1,700 other car owners Honda Civic hybrid.

Somehow driven to the wall, the American division of Honda will try to set aside the judgment which was unfavorable to him, since we know very well that several other lawsuits could be added.

We speak even a collective recourse to affect more than 120,000 owners of Honda Civic Hybrid sold between the years 2003 and 2009.

If AC was to arrive, he could listen to hundreds of millions a Honda, only attorney's fees.
