4th recall in 1 year

Never had a car with so many recalls over its entire life, let alone in 1 year.
That said, at least Honda doesn't hide them, but gets them done. That is if you have a dealer who doesn't try to deny that the recall exists. Mine does. What happened to Honda's quality control?

A bad dealer is not Honda's fault unless customers let Honda know.

That said, you bought a first year car with a first year engine & transmission, made in a brand new plant.

Expecting perfection is silly.

But at least the engines don't grenade themselves, right Corvette fan?

Perfection not expected, but some sort of testing, and quality control is. Told Honda about the dealers here, and they were not interested. But again, I have owned MANY cars, and never this sort of recall issues. Even with new, first year models, never more than 1 recall. (Not counting awful Chrysler products)

I forgot..Corvette engines don't grenade themselves absent significant abuse.

But then, your self-righteous, self proclaimed capabilities of clairvoyance is over stated. Never said I was a Vette fan, that was something out of the depths of your mind.

Sorry to hear it. So far one recall in 18 months for me, with an improvement in performance.

When I don't like something I bought, I try to get a refund. If that doesn't work, I just stop using it and/or throw it away.

My name is none of your concern, Mikey. . And stop trolling a forum for a car you don't own. Get a job to keep yourself occupied. I am not the first to make a complaint about you.

You throw away your cars?. The forum is about likes and dislikes, and issues. Multiple recalls is an issue.
