ON MONDAY JULY 22ND THE CRACK HAD GROWN CONSIDERABLY LARGER 12 INCHES.    I SPOKE WITH ACURA CLIENT RELATIONS ON MONDAY JULY 22ND TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS. THEY OPENED UP A CASE AND TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE DEALER INSPECT IT.     I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CARLSBAD DEALER ON TUESDAY JULY 23RD AND HAD IT INSPECTED BY ONE OF THE SERVICE MANAGERS. HE GLANCED AT IT AND ABRUPTLY STATED I WILL NEED A NEW DASH AND THAT MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY $1500.    LATER THAT DAY I SPOKE WITH CLIENT RELATIONS AND WAS TOLD 'WE ARE SORRY FOR YOUR ISSUE AND ACURA WILL PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH THE COST. THE WORK CAN BE DONE FOR $800'    BELIEVING THAT THE PART MAY BE FAULTY MAKES ME QUESTION WHY I HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT I WAS DISMISSED SO QUICKLY BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I UNDERSTAND THAT WEAR AND TEAR HAPPENS BUT IF THERE IS A DEFECT THAT THE CONSUMER HAS NO CONTROL OVER WHY SHOULD THEY BE HELD TO A WARRANTY PERIOD?    A LITTLE SEARCHING OF THE WEB WILL PROVIDE QUITE A BIT OF EVIDENCE OF THE SAME ISSUE OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
