I wonder if you've got a bad rocker arm? We've had a handful of people who've had theirs replaced under warranty. Towards the bottom of the 1st page and onward people discus it

Nonetheless, I'd go with a second opinion aka Vit
Not that I doubt Mr tran but sometimes even the most savvy miss things

Primary or Secondary O2 Sensor ? Because if on the primary O2 Sensor this more than likely may have been the cause.

So you had 60k miles on your car, put a bunch of bolt ons and a ecu tune, got a knock, and told the dealership it was their fault?

No not what happened my car has had a knock from what my tuner said and he said he could fix it once I install my bolt ons and I installed everything checked it out re tuned and it was not good I changed everything out reduced the knock swapped spark plugs better fuel and sent it with honda and they said they wouldn't warranty it and to just trade it in.

How many miles did it have on it? I guess I see both sides on that one. It was out of warranty. But if it had a knock already why didnt you take it to the dealer sooner? Even if it was under warranty they would deny the claim because it had been modded.

Yea they were nice but I've been in a bad mood all week because of it. I wish I would've but I didn't know it was a knock it was loud enough to hear it until recent. My new ride for the family.

Man that sucks all the way around
still ive heard those crosstreks are pretty sweet
Indeed, sucky all the way 'round. Hope you have better luck with the new cars man. Take care and stick around if you feel like it. Keep us up to date on the new rides and such. Especially if you get back into a new Honda at some point.
