Failure Date: 06/02/2008

Got a car tune-up done by a Honda dealership. The gears shifted a lttle different but I attributed it to the tune-up. It progressively got worst so I took it back to the dealer to have it checked. After their analysis, they diagnosed it as a "bad differential" and it needed a new transmission. The car only had 78,000 when it was at the dealer for the tune-up the end of may. Do I have any recourse through the manufacturer???.
