That is so sad! Cuba must change!

It seems to me that they've been specifically targeted by security twits because not only were they targeted because of a REALLY common last name that people of latin heritage might have (Diaz) but 1 sister was detained while the other let go with no further questions asked. How does that work? The scary part is that because its a communist country, based off those guard's statements, you don't have any rights? This might be a rare happening but it raises the question of how badly someone can get treated, harrased and possibly land in jail, because of badly trained officials who deny you any rights. The even worst part is that they basically lost probably between $2000 and $3000 dollars due to the company not taking any responsability for the Cuban government's actions, which, again, were beyond inadequate. Glad to see they got $300 towards a NEXT purchase with the same company for a vacation. God forbid Sunwing Vacations lose money they didn't earn.

Hello There, I would like to write to inform everyone about the problem I have had with my 2003 Honda Accord. I have had extreme issues with the transmission, and Honda Canada is refusing to provide any compensation whatsoever. Here are the basic points: • Our 2003 Honda Accord experienced major transmission failure on May 25, 2009 while traveling on the 401 highway. • The extended warranty that we took was five years or 100,000 km, whichever came first. (However our vehicle had 68,000 km). • The warranty ended only a few months ago, in December 2008. • We took our car to a local Honda dealership to have our car diagnosed, and they said a new transmission was needed. • Honda quoted a price of $4000 to fix the transmission, (which was out of my price range). We decided to take it to Mr. Transmission which was $2000. • This vehicle had problems since the very early stages. In the first month of ownership, the car would not start one day. One month later, there were further problems: deteriorated 110199 VTEC solenoid seal, AC spool gasket, and O-ring. The Service Manager at the time informed us that it was "due to a manufacturing defect". • One of the customer service reps asked me if I would consider compensation for the transmission alone. I responded that the labour cost was nearly as much as the transmission itself. However, when we spoke with him next, he said he had made a mistake and said that Honda would in fact NOT compensate us. • When I mentioned that the 2003 Honda Accord Tramission found on the Web (Bad cars) was one big issue, the other Rep who accompanied Craig quickly claimed this was just a small percentage. This further frustrated and angered me because he basically explained that I got a substandard product after paying the same amount of money. Hence, this "small percentage" of customers who did not get a reliable and dependable automobile should be compensated for. • I would gladly take a rebuilt transmission as compensation. I am writing so that other consumers can be aware of this problem. I welcome any suggestions on further action I can take with Honda Canada. Thank you, Sheila Mathews
