My biggest and only complaint here is the cost of repair. It's ridiculously expensive!! They had perform a re-ring procedure for cyl 1 - 3 on my Honda Odyssey, with less than 100K on it. I took my vehicle to Honda dealer thinking that it would be covered under a warranty I purchased. Unfortunately, the work for my vehicle was not covered under warranty after they have taken my car apart so I was charged almost 5K for repair out of my own pocket. I didn't easily have 5k at that time and I asked if Honda can help me out or lower some of the cost repair because this work came unexpectedly. I expressed to them that I took good care of the vehicle and have not missed any maintenance on it (records show), and this is clearly a manufacture fault with the engine. I felt like little effort was put in trying to help my situation. The service representative asked if I was the original owner of the vehicle and if I had serviced my car there before and I think because it was my first time there, I feel he didn't really put in much effort in helping me, but instead offered to do more maintenance on my vehicle such as timing belt change that would cost 2.5k on top of my repair cost since they have already have my engine torn down. I needed my VAN b/c of my kids, so I coughed up the 5k and moved on. Overall, the experience just feels like they just want to charge you so much for repair. I mean nickel and dime you for service they have to perform on their own product that breaks down less than 100k.
