Default acura dealers suck ***

so my car was haveing prob. with fuel cut and didnt know on what the hell was wrong with it so i thought it was the spark plugs so i changed them with platnum ones just like the factory ones but a diff. brand ......so the prob. is still there so i take it up to acura dealer from were i bought the car remember its a 04 rsx type s its was brand new .. so they look at it its been since last tuesday and the still dont know what is wrong with it and i get a call from them saying my warranty is gone cus of the aftermarket spark plugs ( i was like what the expletive are you talkin about after market ) and so on they said that they will not fix the problem unless i pay them 170 to put the factory spark plugs in ..... ok sorry my point is i didnt know that my warranty can be done with just putting in spark plugs that are the same as factory but a diff. brand that fucked up ..

So you put in aftermarket spark plugs and now they wont cover you.. Well it sucks but technically they can do that since your spark plugs are technically aftermarket.

And warrany void can happen if the aftermarket item has contributed to the problem. In this situation technically the aftermarket spark plugs "could" have caused the fuel misfiring. Since fuel is detonated by the spark plugs.

In Acura's defense they would want you to replace the spark plugs so they can find the the exact problem. So if you want get the stock spark plugs and have them diagnose it once again. Honestly $170.00 dollars sounds very fair to me if they will honor your warranty on the car.
To be honest if you dont want to pay the 170, and they find out its something else your will want that warranty back.
It will cost you more in the long run.
Care to mention which spark plugs you installed?
