I hope no one is driving an imported honda in the US. Question, should honda honor the warranties of imported cars?

dre2600 is an unknown quantity at this point
Honda told her, just because she 'never imagined the car would have problems' doesn't make her a special case, it makes her an idiot. If someone sells you a car with -no implied warranty- and you start complaining once it breaks down, you deserve what you get. If your cargo is so precious buy a car with a warranty, or pay the money to fix it.

As for Honda, if their warranty policy is externally contract (ie: to some 3rd party firm vs in house) their policy may not allow for this sort of thing and their hands may be somewhat tied.

Stupid sensationalist journalism. Whats with all the capital letters?

That totally sucks!!! I would be super pissed! Honda's warranties have always been lacking. That's one of their weak points, imo.

We produce alot of vehicles up here in Ontario - Ridgeline, Pilot, Civic Coupe, Civic Sedan and Civic Si Coupe, and the Acura CSX and MDX between two plants.
Obviously the CSX is exclusive, Ridgeline, and possibly more. Wonder what reasons there are..for only building vehicles in Canada - new models at least.

Warranty wise, you'd think it would be the other way around, Dealer giving you the run around and the actual company backing you up.
