There is a TSB on this problem. Something about the hood was contaimanated before it was painted.

Interesting! The fit, finish and performance of my 09 GT is way better than my 07 GT.

The "or" means either one of those options will qualify.
You qualify since you have less than 36K miles.

So F*** 'em, they're trying to cheat you!

Assuming you weren't kidding, it's 3 years or 36K whichever comes first.

FWIW, I have had the bubbling under the hood for at least 2 years. Luckily, it hasn't spread (I circled an area with an ink pen, and it's still the same).

I wasn't kidding, lol.

You're in your 3rd year, you haven't fully consumed it yet.
Since there's a TSB on this, you should be able to get something anyway...

You have to fight with them, PITA but that's how the game is played.
Ins. companies do that in an even worse way, they'll contest a claim with a Police Report that is against their policy holder!!

So much for Honda quality, I will take an American car anyday.

Wow, 42k for a minivan? Now that is highway robbery!!!!
