Warranty gone and it wont come back

I had springs on my car(worst idea ever) and now I put everything back to stock. Somehow, when I was in honda for some random check up on windows or something, they recorded on my vin that I have modified suspension and that the warranty is lost. Now I need to sell and all the shocks are gone. They wont repair it bc there is no warranty even though it is back to ALL OEM. I dont know what to do and I dont have money to buy new or used shocks? Should I write Honda? What should I do?

I would write Honda. . That seems weird. . Granted I don't think that your suspension or any part of it should be covered since you modded it. . But I don't think that should void your entire warranty. . Just any part of it that has to do with suspension. Anyways. . good luck. . If you get any of your warranty back I'm pretty sure it wont include the suspension or anything that could be defective because of it .

When I bought my Civic, the finance manager told me... "you drop it, you void your warranty." So I think they can do that... but hey you never know... write them and see what they say. Good Luck.

lowering your car will only void suspension/chassis part of the warranty given to you by honda.

call them up and give them hell.

Good thing I took my engine mods out when I went to the new dealer here. Only thing they recorded is muffler. But they can only void the warrenty on the modded part.

You gotta pay to play. You should have known ahead of time that modifying your car will void the warranty on the parts changed or affected.
