Default 2008 rancher 420 4x2 transmission problems?

I bougth the quad in March 2008 and when I use 4th gear it seems its going to explode.
at first the local honda dealer said it was a factory transmission problem, since they had already repaired another quad with the same problem and sold in almost the same period of time. And that other quads in the country had appared with the same problem.
When they call honda, they said that they had made tests to the transmission and determined that it was a missuse that caused the problem and no warranty was going to be given to any other quads.
But is it not wierd that more than two quads have had the same problem, bieng sold three months ago?
Lety me know if anyone has some information about this.

Firstly, 420 Auto or 420ES? Are you saying it changes up and down OK except when you change into neutral? If you don't do this "on the move" the gears will not mesh properly and you get that - on the display, until they have meshed, which requires the bike to be moving.
