    It looks like a lot of us suddenly have a longer warranty -- or we will,
    when the dust settles.

    Not a huge issue, but Honda was sued by a few people claiming that the
    odometers of many Honda & Acura products were overstating the distance
    driven, thereby reducing the actual mileage available under warranty.
    It's a class action suit, so anyone who bought or leased a Honda or
    Acura (new) between April 13, 2002 and November 7, 2006 gets 5% added to
    the mile limit of their warranty.

    For most of us -- the 36/36,000 people -- that adds up to a whopping
    1,800 extra miles of warranty.

    No admission of any odometer problems by Honda. Just a little extra
    warranty. I've never noticed any problems with mine...

    If the odometer was reading incorrectly,then the speedo should also be
    inaccurate.That's how the odo reads miles,isn't it?

    Hmmm, I have always wondered why the trip computer portion of our 2003
    Accord's factory navigation system always shows an ever so slightly
    shorter distance traveled than does the trip odometer. I normally reset
    the trip odometer at ever fuel fill-up and the navigation computer does
    so automatically.

    Nothing which really worries me, but interesting anyway!
