Default Design Failure 101

Dear Honda,

Your evaporative emmisions system methodology is a modern day human error based design failure. The mere thought of a gas cap causing so many problems is a prime example of over design / complexity failure. It is also evidence of "crap on customer and get away with it" world. In a world where two wheel machines blow open, raw, carbureted exhaust into the American skies, Honda decides to create a faulty system that is aggravatinng a large number of their owners by an order of magnitude in the hundreds of thousands. Then by design, require them to take the junk to the dealer for reset????

The check engine, gas cap, and other related faults causing unsuspecting owners to carry this junk system to their local dealers for a F'ing "RESET" should be cause for class action suit, and charges for each each service call ever mad for this junk crap should be reimbursed to every owner, down to the penny. As the Harley Davidsons and Commercial trucks blow raw fuel vapor into the atmosphere by the megatons, this company is trying to split the atom on fuel tank pressurization and evaporative emmissions, and make us owners participate in absorbing the R&D cost. Design Failure!

This system has affected me financially, logistically, etc as an owner now on three vehicles, and although I am not bitter or scorned, one thing is certain .... It will be my last. I cannot allow this junk to disrupt the lifestyle I enjoy. Stopping eveything to take a car to dealer for ridiculous software design failure resets is not in my budget anymore.

To Honda - The one finger salute!
