That line of reasoning makes no sense. Honda is the responsible party
no matter if they build a component in their own factory or buy it from
someone else. The customer did business with Honda. Honda chose which
parts to make and which to buy and chose who to buy them from.

Re: 2003 Accord Radio Display Problem
John....
Your completely correct. It is Honda's responsibility to honor their
warranty.
Ohhhh wait......the OP said it was out of warranty. So at that point its
no ones responsibility to repair it for free.
Again....
Free exchange radio from the dealer and
$89.00 (about one hour of labor) = REASONABLE.
Is this thread over yet? It is for me.

Success!! The dealer spoke with Honda and Honda agreed to cover the
repalcement cost. I should have the car back tomorrow (they were also
doing the 37k service....plus replacing the wiper motor that went out
this morning...not covered - I'm not having a good month!).
I'm surprised but very happy that Honda decided to cover the radio
display problem. I think this was the right thing for them to do given
the history of this sort of failure. The dealer said the customer cost
of the radio was $750, plus labor to install it (probalby cost about
$900 total to repair). Said the solution required a complete audio
unit replacement, not just the display. Honda's back on my good side.
