Honda of America hates me. I think they must have a file on my somewhere that Mr. Ogawa put a big fat red X on the cover of.

BUT, there was a recall on my factory installed spoiler, that no one actually told me about, but before the formal recall I had work done on it at the dealership, under warranty. But the recall was issued after 36k, and naturally they refused to do the recall work for free, even though the first time they worked on it the car did not even have 6.5k miles on it. Naturally I went to my very beloved auto body shop, and that spoiler is going NO WHERE now.

As much as I love my car, my family has really been disappointed by our dealerships and of course Honda of America.

When I wrecked my 2000 civic and was in their showroom getting my hybrid, they causally remarked, that there had been a recall on my airbags, but they they were sure it had nothing to do with my airbags not deploying...
