For his first glitch before even giving the dealer a chance to fix it?

That's called "jumping the gun".

For sure on "Jumping the gun."

Most "Lemon Laws" apply only to a recurring problem which cannot be
fixed by the dealer/manufacturer in two or three attempts. Also, the
defect/problem must be something major, as opposed to a faulty ash tray,
which this owner's problem seems likely to be.

Again, though, you might want to see what the dealer and Honda have to
say about this. Might even want to see what their response is with
regard to the Check Engine light coming on. Did you ignore it? Can't
really tell from your account of the incident.

Lemon laws apply to vehicles which have been back multiple times for
repair of the same defect and still haven't been fixed properly. They
can be very useful. In fact, we had a 1998 Chrysler van bought back by
Chrysler under the CA lemon law because the dealer couldn't fix the ****
dash lights.

It doesn't apply in this case, at least not yet, as the poster has only
had whatever the problem is in for repair once.

I did not ignore the "CHECK ENGINE" light. This light came on just
before it stopped. I am still waiting for response from the Honda
service.

As I wrote, it was unclear.

Now that that's settled, given the rest of your statement of facts, it
should be of interest to the rest of us (as well as yourself<g>) to learn:

1) what failed, and

2) how the dealer and/or Honda treat you under what should obviously be
a warranty situation (assuming, of course, that you didn't get hit by a
missile fired from a Taliban hiding in a manhole on the roadway<g>).

What myself and others have said still applies though. You're a long
way - at this point - from invoking any "Lemon Law."

Given the quality product that seems to be Honda's hallmark, I for one
will be very surprised if they don't make it right and do so quickly.
