Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Check engine light came on. had the dealer check for the code which came up as p1491, egr valve issue. there is documented recall/note for this major design defect part, but only for 8yr/80k miles. i called american honda and asked for "good faith"/if they would pay for the repair. am/honda refused my request. my 99 accord ex v6 has 130k miles. this is a known documented design flaw. emission parts should last the life of the car. had to shell out $300 for that repair. i have owned 7 other honda's plus this car. this is the first time i have had this type of issue. american honda needs to do better. i am seriously considering changing car brands, possibly switching to toyota. *jb |
