i purchased a brand new 2008 honda civic ex in 2008. At 34,000 miles, my engine blew. Of course Dean Honda tried to fight me on the warranty, but my dad was able to convince them to replace the engine under warranty (like it should be). It is now amonth later, but my tire pressure light and the check engine light are both on. I take it in the Dean Honda today and they call to tell me i need a ""software update"" that is not relavant to the engine so i have to pay. Although the fee is only $24, it is the principle. What sense is a warranty if they don't honor it for anything. Not to mention the month they were rebuilding my engine, they provided no loaner and i wasted 2 hours of my work day up there today. I would never buy any Honda, and never ever even consider buying a car off Dean Honda's lot. What a disgrace to the Honda name. I love to tell my story about my ""reliable"" Honda that should go to 200,000 miles, that blew up at 36,000 for no apparant reason.
