i'd call the main honda usa customer service #, explain the problem &
that you're getting no dice from the dealer, say that the issue is
clearly a defective suspension problem you consider to be very
dangerous, and have them arrange for the dealer to fix the problem. any
new honda part is guaranteed for 12 months. you should not need to pay.
