I'm sorry, but number 3 is utter bullshit. The engine goes belly up right after the dealer does an oil change and you have to pay extra so they can tell you what really happened? That sounds like a lawsuit in the making. Essentially they are hiding the truth.

Do what you want, it's your car and money but this is royally f'ed up. Sorry you're dealing with all this aggravation.

And there you have it. That's Honda in a nutshell these days. Crap quality and treat your customers like dog crap. Sad... I will probably keep mine until the warranty is up and then get rid of it.

They got my number. I am just one guy, a dude with an issue. No other dealer would even hear me out.

You know what, I have had a change of heart guys. Honda and its dealers are really the best in industry. Nowhere else would I even be heard out. The blown engine after an oil change, who do we think we are to speculate that they caused it! Man really about anything could have caused it. And I am out of warranty! They are willing to cover 90%, who could ask for anything more.

I think this experience has made me a Honda owner for life. I see now it was just my own arrogance, fear, and selfishness to expect perfection, when really they are treating me just grand.

I love my Honda!

OK. Sounds like you just drank a fifth of some Honda Kool-Aid. BlownSI, is that really you or has Honda taken over your account?

It's called being reamed by corporate America. 99 percent of people don't have the time or resources to "fight back". Even wealthy people sued settle most of the time even if it's clear cut they are right because it's cheaper than fighting. Someone a few years ago made a false claim against my company's CEO claiming a verbal contract that never existed. The guy had no standing, no proof, but our CEO settled by giving the guy $100k because fighting would have cost triple. You have to look at the OP's situation. It's pay $900 or potentially thousands fighting. Fighting sounds idealistic, but it's not realistic. If he wants to get on with life, this is his option

I hope you are being sarcastic. Please tell me that you are

Doesn't a website like Jalopnik have a mailbag columnist who covers stories like this? If I were OP I would be loaded for bear to go public and try any way I could to embarrass the dealership, even if -- especially if -- it was after I decided to roll over and pay their extortion (which I probably would do too).

It looks like Honda has paid Scotty well

I dare you to go to a Chrysler or Chevy dealer with a blown engine out of warrenty! They wouldnt give you the time of day buddy!

Enough said guys, really I am happy. This is a closed case of another overall good Honda experience.

Is it me or does Scotty come across as being a wee bit drunk in that video?
