I bought Honda based on their reputation and despite their pitiful 3 year 36K mile warranty. The dealer wants to replace the heater core. Problem is driver side produces air flow, but no heat. Passenger side is perfectly fine. The dealer charged me $200 to flush the radiator and heater core and to perform "diagnostics" to rule out control valve, hose and electronic control problems. I find it hard to believe that the heater core should be replaced since 1/2 of the system works. Sounds more to me like a control valve or electronic control problem. I have found no other complaints of this type on the Honda. Waiting for dealer service manager to contact me as well as Honda USA customer service. Will go back to Fords.
