Any reason Honda would deny warranty coverage on this 2019 Civic R transmission?

[atikovi]

Talked to Honda customer service and they said the warranty was voided because the title was previously branded as not actual miles. I told the CSR that it was because of a clerical error when the car was in for service by the last owner, and the service writer wrote down the wrong mileage. DMV has since issued a unbranded title to correct this.

Now I have to somehow get the Indiana BMV to send Honda a letter explaining all this. What fun. #1 takeaway from this is always make sure you see the correct miles listed on all paperwork when getting your car serviced, especially if under warranty.

How do you know this ? How do you prove this ? Not doubting this but it could be hard to resolve.

Anybody here from Indiana and familiar with the BMV?

I bought a repo from American Honda Finance that is titled in Indiana to Honda. At the time Honda titled it, Carfax reported an odometer discrepancy because the mileage entered at a service facility in 2022 is less than the mileage entered at another place in 2020. Thus Indiana marked the title...

The Indiana BMW corrected the title and issued a new unbranded title to Honda Finance which they sent to me. Carfax and Autocheck also removed the discrepancy from their reports.

And they want like $50k for this car. What a joke.

They really are junk. I had a 2023 Integra and shifting into third never felt right.

My hats off to you sir, my short temper could never
Keep us updated if/when they actually cover the (reinstated?) Warranty

Honda's had gear crunch issues since the early 2000?
Wasn't there a TSB for CL/Accord Coupes back in the day?
Maybe it was the RSX

Yes, it has been going on forever. I fixed a Civic once with a fluid change, I put in the GM Synchromesh fluid and the problem went away. Someone here suggested that and it worked!

Apparently this was a recommended fix directly from Honda corporate that they passed on to their dealers (using GM Synchromesh).

How'd this work out @atikovi ?

Isn't that how warranty's work? Lots of fine print, and excuse after excuse how it can be denied.
I my opinion I wouldn't trust a mad tech that knows he or she will make nothing on a warranty job, working on my car or what ever it is.

The Honda dealer said Honda won't cover the repair because Honda says it had a branded not actual mileage title. That was a clerical error which was corrected by the DMV and I'm working on getting it corrected in Honda's records as well.

Hope you're able to resolve everything OP. It'll certainly be a killer car to own once you get everything done.
