I'm just trying to defend my case, just like your trying to defend yours. What Honda says is not always true, because their a big corp, and they look at the dollor rather than the consumer, sometimes, but not always. I can give you an example, I called Honda once for the problems I had with my broken Tranny mount, and engine mount and asked them to goodwill it for me. I was preety pissed, do you know what the rep said. He said, I sounded like I would never buy a Honda agian, and honda only goodwills there cars to keep a good relation so that I would buy another Honda in the future. Basically he said, If I say that I will not a buy a honda again, they won't help me out. I thought that was really ****ed up. Put yourself in my situation, you'd be pretty pissed of too. For right now, I can't say I like Honda, depending on how they take care of my with my current situation, will decide if I buy a honda again. We'll see.
I understand your situation and I would be very pissed as well, but I wouldn't discount the whole brand because I got a lemon, unless many other people had the problem. At least Honda is stepping up to the plate and offering extended warranties. It strikes me funny that you said Ford is better to buy than Honda..do you know how many people have died in Fords because of their ineptness? Tens of policemen have died in Crown Vics that were rear ended because the gas tank was in a poor position...Ford just fixed it this year, after like 17 deaths and 5 years of complaints. Remember the Firestone/Ford fiasco? Clearly Ford's fault, as they put poor quality tires on a model. The tires were fine, but they were clearly not meant to be put on an Explorer. Ford knew they sucked too, they were just trying to save money. Sure Honda is after the bucks, but not nearly as bad as most manufacturers, as they make the most money per vehicle sold...something like $2000. Keep in mind GM and Ford lose over $1000 on each vehicle sold.
