Ok......I took my car to Honda after my engine locked up and the ****ers are saying that they cant not figure it out what happened to the car but since I had a wreck this past december (rear suspension damage only) they are trying to tell me that if they cant find out what happened to call my insurance and talk to them about it.

All this happeened after a wrecked I had back in december and my car was sitting for 2 months and 2 days i took it out of the shop to go put my AEM kit on it...my **** locked and

that was it.

Why do dealers always have to try and blaime **** on other people instead of just taking care of the issues right away.?

BTW my car only has 9800 miles on it .

because they don't want to have to work on it....they're usually either lazy, busy, or they don't want to have to redo something that they will lose money on. nah, they just want to make sure that they are covered.

What do you mean by the engine "locked up"??? Do you mean it's seized? An engine siezes when there is no oil in it.... If that's the case, the engine is pretty much toast. It will either need to be replaced or torn down and rebuilt completely.

well ......yeah the engine is locked ,,,,,,,,,,,and what it was is...after the car was sittign for 2 months and i tried to started it everything was ok but the car had a weird IDLE and i reset the ECU , waited until the next day since the car didnt want to start again and after it did , I checked all the fluids to make sure everything was OK ( water , oil, etc ) the car started to overheat , I added coolant to it just a little ....making sure it had enough.......the temp went down but after a while the car just turned off by it self , and basically locked after that.......so I took it the dealer adn they CAN NOT figure it out , so basically he told me to ask my insurance to claim it
