For the past few months I've received letters from a local Honda dealer, who shall remain nameless, regarding "Manufacturer's Required Maintenance.," (MRM)
They go on to tell me how unique my Honda is and how important it is to keep up the MRM to protect the warranty. ( I thought the warranty was suppose to protect me!) They also alude to the fact that my maintenance minder light will be turning on soon indicating my car needs MRM.
They've sent out one letter back in November of last year estimating my mileage to be 40,000 miles and telling me it was time for MRM. Their mileage estimate was off; I didn't have 40k miles on the car. Earlier this month I received a carbon copy letter stating the same doom and gloom telling me my car needs the 45k mile MRM.
The dealer is just trying to make money. THERE IS NO 40,000 MILE OR 45,000 MILE MANUFACTURER'S REQUIRED MAINTENANCE FOR AN '07 GX! If you get one of these letters don't sweat it, read your owner's manual and watch your maintenance minder. Don't take their word for it.
Ironically enough this is a GX that has a rough idle and the dealers won't do anything about that. The computer doesn't spit out an error code, so the rough idle is "normal."
