Somewhat intermittent---but never runs as good as it did before this service. My boss wants me to take it to this repair shop he goes to--he drives new Yukons. He says let them fix it and take Honda the bill. I don't want to do that, but I am getting depressed that I am still paying a note on this thing. I really want to be able to take it to the dealer and when something is under warranty, get it fixed for free. They replaced the motor mount and the driver door motor under my warranty--no deductible. I don't want to have to go to one place to pay to get a diagnosis, then to the dealer to get it fixed under warranty if I can. This is the pits. Can they refuse to cover a major mechanical breakdown under warranty if I don't get all the service from a Honda Dealer? Would taking it to this other shop mess me up with the warranty? I guess the dealer would not have to know--if it was just a screw up on their part and the new shop fixed it. The whole thing is starting to make me mad. And my boss doesn't understand that I don't want to spend the money ($60--I called his shop) when I think Honda should fix it. We pay his car notes, repair and insurance on his company car--I have to pay for my own. Do you think it would be a huge mistake to take it to his shop???
