Holy crap man!

Two days (one day each, suspension fix and dead battery . . . although, battery wasn't Honda's fault). Not counting a while-you-wait repair for the '06 reflash. Owned the car for two years and 2 months (Car number 341!).

52 days at the dealership? What problems did you have? I believe the lemon law says if your car has been out of service more than 30 days, you've got a lemon.

That's terrible. What are the problems you've had?

Hope the lemon process goes well.

Oh, and I haven't had to have my car in for service yet. '07 EX 4,800 miles (*knocks on a wooden table*).

car went in for this on jan. 24th 2008.......ok my transaxle sprang a big leak!!! befor this happened i was getting symptoms like noisy throw out bearing, car felt like it was sliding on rocks or pebbles was under my tires, ok so i got my vehicle towed to ken dixon honda and since my vehicle has 58,950 miles on it they said that honda wants a inspection done on the trans!! so yesterday i went back ans seen my trans out and disasembled to my finding my differential was completely broken!! ok so today they called me and told me that honda wasnt going to warranty my trans!! stating that it must have been something i did to the vehicle to make an internal part like this break, after they did the inspection they determined this, i asked them how did they make this determination and he said after looking over my car and seeing that i have a cold air intake and a exhaust on my car they feel as though i have misused my vehicle! they went on to explain that this occurs when u either mis shift your car or high rev it! if this is true then shouldnt i have engine damage and not trans damage, but any who i called honda headquarters and made a formal complaint of unsatisfactory and they gave me a case number and should be contacting me within 24-48 hours so i will see what happen. but further more i asked the service manager to explain to me how did i void out my transaxle warranty where it states in the honda warranty book that it can be an internal malfunction and it is still covered under warranty not only do i have honda factory warranty but i also have an extended warranty through car care, honda is always trying to bullshit people out of their money and always trying to find a way out of paying for work that should and is still under warranty!! i also explained to them that this trans is a known problem for all si owners with the gears grinding and popping out but that clain to not have any knowledge of such!!

In the 5 months and 15k miles I had mine it was out of service for 7 buisness days.

5 to R&R transmission for 4th gear whining issue and 3rd gear synchro.

1 to repair broken motor mount that got f*cked up when replacing transmission

1 more for more transmission noises in 4th ans 6th, which Honda said they could not hear, BS.

Car is someone elses problem now. I never beat on it and just drove it on the highway 70 miles a day.

July 2007. The only time it's been in the shop was for an oil change, and a MTF change (Amsoil).
