Name: Sam (Kahnawupas)
Location: Longmont, CO
Dealership: Frontier Honda
710 South Main Street Longmont, Colorado (CO) 80501
(303) 772-2900
Service Manager: Mike
Service Associate: Derrick O'Brien (very cool)
Mods: Stock
Notes: Came in with printed copy of TSB. Mike kind of surprised, kept telling me that there was nothing he could do because I'm out of warrantee. My response was that the TSB was Honda's way of acknowledging that there is a problem. I also fell squarely in the middle of the affected/afflicted VIN range. Plead my case 3 times before he finally caved in and called Honda. HondaUSA offered to cover 80% of the cost of the fix. They won't cover 100% because I'm at almost 60k miles on the odo. Still, the educated customer can get what they need; The ignorant customer will probably get nothing from these guys.
