squeaky belt dealer claims not covered by ext. warranty - Honda Pilot

nimbus2007 · 04-19-2011, 04:56 PM

I have a squeaky belt at cold start-ups. goes away after warm up. car has 50k currently. I have Honda Care (not sure the terms 6yrs I think).

anyway, I call the dealer to set up an appointment and tell them I have extended Warranty. However, service advisor tells me it's a Maintenance or wear and tear item so it's not covered.

what say you piloteers?

Better yet, what say your Extended Warranty?

I don't have it with me right now, but I called Honda Care and they said the following:

Timing Belt - If found "defective" then it's covered

Everything else is wear and tear - Not Covered

Belts, tires, brakes, etc are considered wear items and not covered. You can ask for goodwill coverage to keep you as a happy repeat customer......
