Honda minivan would intermittently die while under warranty

Honda refused to replace battery saying it was 'good'.

50 miles left on the 36k warranty and it died again (in my garage). They said to have it towed to their shop for diagnosis. Got it towed (on Honda's dime) and they agreed to replace the battery.

Glad I finally got a new battery - but yet another reason I loathe car dealerships.

On the oil - every couple months with all the vehicles rolling around this place.
