Acura of North America won't quit sending my father junk in the mail. He doesn't have to go in to be told, the bad news gets sent straight to his front door.

First it was a notice of how the CL was overrated powerwise, so they needed to install a more agressive cam to bring it up to spec. Had that installed for free under the recall.

Then, a notice about how the five speed manu-matic sucked, with a promise that the warranty has been extended to cover the transaxle longer. Ok, great.

Just recently, he got another notice that the timing belt (or chain?) tensioner was under recall. More of his time, and a free new tensioner later he's still content with his car.

Honda's really aren't what they used to be, but at least they have a good service system to take care of the problems. The parts and labour may be free, but it still wastes a lot of time.
