Has anyone been stonewalled by a dealership? I am confident I did nothing wrong but be snarky and a wee condescending in the midst of misconduct and illegal practices. However, I am very concerned that another Honda Dealer of the same 'family' or even generally will see a service record and blow me off. I do appreciate that my vehicle is not immediately a death trap just because a component is failing. I can be a realist. My fear is that the time before this demands attention is arbitrary if I don't see a way to replacement outside of out of pocket. If I have to pay for a replacement part and labor I'm not going to buy a Honda part. Both bc butt-hurt still but also quality concerns.
My car has never been in an accident and the treatment at the dealership seemed so over and beyond what I perceive typical resistence would look like... That paired with anecdotes others have shared make me wonder:
1) How widespread this is - what is the presentation rate or rate of occurence
2) What are involved modes of failure?
I was shot down so hard and with varying trim having similar issues I'm suspicious that this is a known issue that hasn't reached some calculated risk threshold to warrant acknowledgment and a voluntary recall.
