When we bought our '07 Touring back in March, I stupidly took the salesman's word (he was the number one salesman for 3 months in a row, after all :rollingeyes: ) that the PAX system had been removed from the vehicle. 6 months later, our tires are about ready to fall off the van at less than 40k miles. I go out to take a look at the size, and that's when I finally notice that it has the PAX system on it.
When I spoke with the GM of the dealership, he offered to remove the PAX from the vehicle for me. After checking with American Honda, he called me back and informed me that he was not allowed to do it, so he was just going to give me a check to cover having it done elsewhere. The only caveat was that I had to sign a release that would remove any of their responsibility for the tires and wheels.
When I asked what exactly that entailed, he admitted that he wasn't sure since he'd never dealt with this before, and needed to see the release himself before he could tell me that.
We went in tonight to sign the release, but the GM is out of town and left it with the assistant manager, who then left it with the manager on duty after he left at 6. When I got there and read the release, I asked the MoD what it meant, and he had no idea. His instructions were to have us sign it and get it notarized, and hand us a check.
This is the part that has me concerned, and the part that I will get clarification on from the dealer before I sign it. (the names have been changed to protect the innocent and not-so-innocent, as it were

I asked the MoD what exactly they meant by "any other systems affected" by the conversion. Does this mean that the gawd-awfully expensive Honda Care warranty we purchased with the vehicle is no longer going to cover brakes, wheel bearings, ball joints, CV joints, or the suspension? If I were a lawyer for the dealership, I would say yes in order to save my company money. However, they are doing their best to keep me as a happy customer, so what's your read on that?The Delership also has informed the Customers that the Dealership and American Honda (the manufacturer of the vehicle) will not warrant the Conversion, the Vehicle's tires or any other systems of the Vehicle that are in any way related to the tire system or in any way affected by the Conversion.
