i just took my car to acura for a CEL, and i have a bad O2 sensor. The problem is they wont 900 bucks to fix it!!!!!! They said my exhaust must be causing the problem. I tried explaining to them that my exhaust could not have possibly caused the problem because its behind the O2 sensors! I asked them to prove it and they said "well there is a lot of black stuff inside your muffler" No ****! Everyone i know with a type s has the same thing. Can someone please help me out here. I tried calling another dealer and told them the story and they said the same thing, my exhaust must be causing the problem Any advice you guys have would be great.....Thanks

 

Read up on the Magnusson- Moss warranty act, and explain it to them next time you talk to them. They are assuming you are a dumb ricer kid and trying to screw you.

I think this applies to me


There are also two emission warranties (defect and performance) required under the clean air act. The defect warranty requires the manufacturer to produce a vehicle which, at the time of sale, is free of defects that would cause it to not meet the required emission levels for it's useful life as defined in the law. The performance warranty implies a vehicle must maintain certain levels of emission performance over it's useful life. If the vehicle fails to meet the performance warranty requirements, the manufacturer must make repairs at no cost to the owner, even if an aftermarket part is directly responsible for a warranty claim, the vehicle manufacturer cannot void the performance warranty. This protection is the result of a parts self - certification program developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA).

Am I right?

 

Does anyone know if the above statement is correct or not?
