Purchase of the car went well, but it took a long time to complete the sale. It was nearly 8pm when we left the dealership and was already dark outside. When I got the car home, I noticed that when they pulled the papers off the window on the back door, they damaged the window tint. I hadn't noticed it at the dealership, because it was dark and the salesman made sure to stand in front of that window until I got in the car. Also, within a few days of purchasing the car, the dash started displaying an error message about the instrument cluster needing to be serviced. I contacted Honda of Lake Jackson and the sales manager told me it just needed a software update, and that I could take it to a VW dealership to get it updated. The VW dealership charged me $190 to run a diagnostic scan, which revealed that the instrument cluster had a fault prior to me buying the car. They quoted me $1550 to replace the instrument cluster. When I shared this with the manager at Honda of Lake Jackson, I was told there was nothing they could do about it, and that I should have bought an extended warranty. The car did come with a 90 day warranty, but it conveniently does not cover this particular issue. I feel like they sold me a lemon. Needless to say, I will not be doing anymore business with Honda of Lake Jackson.
