I had just entered Golden Gate Park when my car started making unusual noises. I checked the trouble lights, gauges etc looking for clues as to what was wrong. I finally realized that the temperature gauge was pegged to hot, hot, hot. I drove the car to a gas station on 19th Avenue. The service tech poured gallons of water into the radiator to cool the engine. After two weeks of wondering what had happened, we found that the engine block was defective. It had a "porous" spot that was caused during the manufacturing. So there I was, stranded on a street corner in San Francisco on a Friday afternoon. Try getting a rental car and hotel room at 5:00 on Friday in San Francisco!
The car is being repaired at no cost by a Honda dealership, but I am almost $2000 in the hole for the towing, car rental, hotel rooms and meals!
Will Honda reimburse me for my expenses? It remains to be seen.
