What is my issue lol? Over the weekend I was all gung ho gonna call Honda on Monday. Now it is Monday and I am too anxious to call. Probably because I worried they will either say no way to 2 rentals, but we have 2 affected cars and I want my family safe whether I am at work or DH is (which is the determining factor for which is getting most use that day.) Also worry that they will make me go to the dealership rather than be able to set me up with a rental locally, but I am less worried about that now since everyone that has posted about getting a car has gotten a rental and not a loaner, so I just have to hope they will work with a company's local to me office and not make me go to a local to them office.
I also have another call that I need to make and am anxious about. Oh and a 3rd one that I took off my list, delayed having to make that call by deciding to see a chiropractor first. I did get 3 of the other calls made that I needed to make. But these last two...ugh!
ETA: Question about having a rental car....
I worry that I could end up with a rental with the same issue.
However, since the recall was first announced in Oct/Nov?2014, does that mean all cars 2015 and newer should be ok. I am iffy on that, since new MY cars are out before the year starts, sometimes a lot before. For example, my 2010 Insight was actually made in March 2009 and sold to the first owner in April 2009. So by its MY matched the year, it was nearly a year old. I bought it in Dec 2012 thinking I was getting a 2, almost 3 year old car. Once I was home and looked at DOM I was surprised to see it was actually closer to 4 years old.
Since rental companies don't usually have cars that are over a year old, maybe 18 months tops, I am iffy on whether or not they'd only have ones that are not recalled. Is there any car rental law that they can't rent a car that has an outstanding recall? Would it be too crazy to ask them to run the VIN though the recall check before accepting the car?
Dang, I was already anxious about calling, now I am really ramping it up by overthinking!
