Worst day at the dealer turns into the best!!

I took the E in yesterday to get the ABS light sorted out. I traced it down to a Left Front Pulser failure. I called and got an estimate of about $410 to replace the wheel bearing (the pulser is part of the bearing). So I got a call today saying they should really run another diagnostic to make sure thats the problem because if they replace the bearing and the code remains I'm SOL.

So I agree to the diagnostic which brings the total up to about $480. Getting a little rich for my blood. Until I got a call around 2pm. They think it's the ABS modulator. Bummer. But they wanted to run some tests to make sure it wasn't something else. I stopped by after work to talk to the tech and the service writer (she's pretty cute, anyway). While I was there I asked the girl to look up and see if I had any kind of warranty. I knew I was out of warranty but was gonna use that as ammo when I write an email to Honda of America about why my ABS modulator went out not long after the warranty ran out.

At first, she couldn't find any info on my car. No warranty or anything. I was bumming out. Then she finally found it. Turns out the warranty runs out at 105k miles. I'm at 95K!!!!! Everything will be completely covered with no deductible!!! I almost did a back flip. I was soooo happy.

As I was leaving I knew my luck couldn't get any better so I thought I'd ask if the struts were covered as well. I told her that it's like there isn't any shock absorption at all. Then she said It should be covered and asked with a wink, "Do the struts make a clunk when you go over bumps?"...followed by another wink. I said "As a matter of fact they do!!!". Well lucky me the warranty covers clunking struts too!!!

Best day at the dealer ever!!! It saved me over $2500 between the ABS and the struts! I love Honda!!!!
