so, here is the thing
my 2016 lx sedan has few aftermarket parts installed on it and has just 7000 miles on it :
-tint (50% front and 15% back),
-sound deadening (rear part of the interior, trunk, front doors) ,
-new speakers (no cutting wires, used adapters),
-rear eibach sway bar,
-front megan racing strut bar,
-led lights (turn signal, stop lights, low beams, reverse)
-engine side covers
and that is it, it even still has 16 steelies on it
so today I took my car to the honda of stevens creek in san jose, ca and asked to do few things, that I believe are suppose to be covered by warranty (my 36 month lease is ending September 2019 and I'm planning to keep my car):
- rubber pieces on the roof, one is straight and another was all zigzagged ... just looks really bad, never bothered me and today I decided to take it to honda dealership to get it fixed
- radio reception was bad since day one, but again never bothered me since we listen usb or bluetooth sources
- windshield washer nozzles were aimed too high, needed adjustment
6 hours later service guy called me and said that they can't do all above due to too many aftermarket parts installed... he told me that most likely rubber piece was removed by a tint guy to remove a window to tint.. bullcrap... and he said radio reception is bad due to aftermarket stereo installed.... and I need to put the car back to stock so they can fix that....
but they did charger me $100 for oil change and 6000 miles service
all above sounds like a huge bullcrap to me... how do I fight? Car is under Honda's warranty but according to the service guy american honda wants me put the car back to stock to actually fix those little things ...
I know about magnusson-moss act but in my case they are not voiding my warranty but telling me to put my car back to stock....
