Last week, after initially being told that a loaner would not be covered until Honda approved the warranty work and being asked for gas money by the SM, I requested contact from the GM and DPSM. They apologized and both said they would get this resolved. The DPSM said he would make me, "100% wh...

I arrived at the store, politely stated I wasn't picking up the car, and requested another new ECU/PCM be ordered and installed.

After that, the car was fine. The store is closed and I'm not comfortable driving the car, so I called ...
