it did. somethin about removing a safety feauture (TPMS)

cause i took it to another honda dealer for a different issue, and they informed me my warrenty was voided.

i got a 08 Mugen SI.

18 mugen rims.

so, yeah, $800 bucks caue they're "mugen"

and they said the rim did void the warrenty, the tempary removal of the tire pressue monitor sensor in the rim did.

you have to fight that. that is what we call... bull****.

your entire warranty cannot be voided. especially before something breaks... they need to prove that the altered part is the cause of something breaking.

dealerships get away with this nonsense because no one fights them on it. I'd be calling up honda and bitching up a storm

it was cuase a "honda techincian" did "properly" remove the tire pressue sensor off the rim before repair. it's stupid, i know

stop making excuses. the dealership ****ed you over because they knew repairs to your car outside of warranty would make them more money

thats the thing, it was me driving on 84 westbound that bent the rim. i went to the dealership to price a new one, they told me $800+ cause thy have to return the rim to japan before they get a new one, store the car while they wait for it, and have a techincian swap the tire pressure sensor.

so, i went to a rim repair shop instead, got it fix for $215. took the civic in for a 10k mile check up back at the dealership, then they informed me that my TPMS showed that one of the sensors was missing for 4 days, they asked why. I told them i got the rim fixed, then the manager came out and informed me i voided the warrenty cause of the tempary removal of a safety feature of the car. I tried fighting it, even writing to Honda USA, all i got was basiclly "SHould have paid for a new rim."

Yeah that sounds like a raw deal Sleeper.

how i making excuse

i went to 3 different dealerships afterwards, and all of them show'd my warrenty was voided in their systems.

that is utter bull****. i'm pretty sure my mustang comes with tpms and if the warranty is voided when i switch to wider rims i will bitch up a storm at the dealership and to ford.

it was. and my parents have had issues with the same honda dealership before.

thus why they drive 30 mins out of their way to a different honda dealership to get stuff done, or buy a new honda.

my issue was that the sensor was removed off the rim, then re installed.

because if you fought it hard enough you would have kept your warranty.

theres a little thing called lawyers... mentioning them usually gets **** done dude. It is complete crap that they voided your warranty b/c you were having your rim repaired. what if you have the car over at pepboys getting new tires put on?

do you have to take the car to honda to get tires put on? i don't think so. the car sat while your rim was being repaired. they have no grounds for voiding your warranty. whoever put that in the system needs to be ripped into

it's like i'm a beacon for this kinda crap

Sean, I just called my local dealership. He actually laughed at me when I told him "my" story. He said it may have voided the warranty on the rim, but not the car. He said to call Honda Customer Relations.

it wasn't cause of the rim repair. it was cause the TPMS sensor was temperaly removed.

it's concidered a saftey feature of the car

its not the rim that voided the warrenty, it was the sensor they told me that voided the warrenty. and i alrdy called them, they told me the same ****.

that, and there isn't a warrenty on them rim, you have to pay extra for it. my parents did for their new honda after i first bent mine.

temporarily removed... does it work still? then i don't see the issue.

i can have my bumper temporarily removed by a shop for whatever reason and reinstalled, i'm pretty sure ford won't say, "yo, your ENTIRE car's warranty is voided because you had the bumper removed for whatever reason LOL at your face!"

if they did, i'd tell them to go **** themselves and that i'm going to another dealership

**** those stupid dealers. Ugh they just make me mad. Think they are so smart and what not. I could easily see Ken raising hell like no other.

listen i tried dealing with this **** for 2 months, and like you said, i even threaten to lawyer up, they told me "Go ahead, and we'll end up getting the car back."

i just gave up on arguing with the said dealership.
