NHTSA Complaint #11061081 — 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY

IN FALL 2016, THE DEALERSHIP ADDRESSED A MISFIRE ENGINE READING ON MY VAN. I HAD TAKEN IT IN AT LEAST TWO OTHER TIMES BECAUSE OF SLUGGISH ACCELERATION OR VEHICLE DYING WHILE AT A STOP. IN SPRING 2017, THE VAN BECAME DISABLED AT AN INTERSECTION AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THE CAUSE WAS THE SAME MISFIRE CODE. ACCORDING TO HONDA'S NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10099308 MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: WE - A13-080, THIS REPAIR WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. BUT BECAUSE OF THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY'S 8YR FROM DATE OF PURCHASE TIMEFRAME, HONDA CORP. DENIED MY REPAIRS BECAUSE IT WAS THREE MONTHS OUT OF THE 8YR EXTENDED WARRANTY. I COMMUNICATED WITH HONDA BACK AND FORTH URGING THEM TO FIX THE VAN ESPECIALLY SINCE THE REPAIR HAD BEEN ADDRESS BEFORE AND IT WAS THREE MONTHS OUT OF THEIR CLASS ACTION AGREEMENT. ULTIMATELY, THEY DENIED COVERAGE OF ANY REPAIRS.
