I have a 2016 Honda Odyssey with only 63,0000 miles (bought new). I got a misfire on a cylinder, took it to the Honda dealer. They said, "piston ring failure". It just so happens i got the bumper to bumper warranty to 80,000 miles. But Honda Warranty "inspects the engine" and says, "no parts broke, it is just failure due to carbon build up on the piston rings and carbon build up is not covered under warranty." I thought Honda was supposed to be reputable. I can't belive this.
Has anyone gotten Honda to cover this under warranty?
Is the extended warranty from Honda, or from a 3rd party? What does the fine print on the extended warranty say?
Assuming it's a factory warranty and its provisions do not exclude this repair, the dealer may be just trying to weasel out of doing what would be a big, time-consuming job for no profit. In that case I'd contact Honda corporate.
