khowell4, I hope you get some answers soon and I hope Honda is not making you pay for any of these trips. The problem with my car was that rodents chewed through the wires at the connector going to the transmission control unit. They were going to make me pay until I made a phone call to Honda of America customer service and they ended up paying for my repairs as a Goodwill warranty claim. I too am in Illinois and I have had great service at Brad Barker Honda in Bloomington. Good luck!
