Finally

I have my van back. It took two weeks, many incorrect parts and one bad wire later. You read my story on how Honda would not take care of us, so here is the rest of the story. We had it hauled to a reliable transmission shop in pdx, we were told 3 days.....it took 2 weeks!!! It took 3 days to get the parts in and then they were the wrong parts, this happened twice! After a week and a half they finally had it done. Thad went to pick it up and it was making some noise so the owner said he wanted to keep it over the weekend to work on it. They found out there was an imperfection on a part they just put in...so they had to order that and replace it. it was done wednesday....thad went to pick it up, paid for it, started it and could not get it in gear! Seriously. The owner and three guys worked for an hour and a half and could not figure out what was wrong. They finally rented thad a car and sent him on his way. Yesterday Thad picked up the van and found out it was apparently a loose and dirty wire that caused the problem the night before. It drives great and I think we are just as happy as the owner of the shop to have it home. Patience is the word that comes to mind when I think of this story and expectations crushed. Everyday last week it was a waiting game, will it be done today? NO! I have been blessed to have the jeep to drive in this time, but I really wanted the ease of the van. I cannot believe that I am writing that about a van. Oh well time to grow up and admit I LIKE VANS. There I have said it.....
