My wife had a POS Volvo that was falling apart. We sold it and found a "certified" pre-owned Honda Accord. It is a 2004 model with 24,000 miles. My question is what does "certified pre-owned" mean as far as warranty goes? Wifey called today and said that the AC just stopped blowing cold air...so I'm thinking compressor...

Thanks

depends on the dealer and how loud you are when they refuse to cover it

Certified pre-owned means it retains the factory warranty, try and get an extended warranty while its still under the whatever honda gives standard(50K mile?)

Thanks, but any ideas on what would cause this just out of the blue.

I checked all the fuses last night and they are good...

Only thing I did not check was the relay, how is this done?(not an electrical guy)...

Damn relay had like 4 different prongs on it though
