Boy, that was one long sentence. :W
I think that even tho the car was out of warrantee, I would still contact Honda. If the manual says it can be towed four down and then it destroys the trans.... Sounds to me like you have a case. Might want to talk to your lawyer.

This one isn't real complicated. There is a very simple set of steps that I cut and pasted They are REQUIRED to indicate to the computer that you are about to flat tow the vehicle. The OP has explained (twice) that he does not follow those procedures. Honda says it can be flat towed, because that is how they designed the product, and oddly enough, there are thousands of owners that do so with no issue. You made the leap from a guy who destroyed his trans. by not following simple directions, to a manufacturer that builds a defective product.
You want to take a wild guess as to why most manufacturers have stepped away from offering vehicles that can be flat towed? Maybe it's got a wee bit to do with battling owners who refuse to follow simple directions, destroy vehicles, then think that 6-7 years after the product left the showroom, they need to be compensated?
