Just be glad you're not up a creek. 
Seriously though, this would be a B2B warranty claim.

All car manufacturers have a bumper to bumper warranty. Standard warranty periods are 3 years/36,000 miles. Did you purchase an extended service contract? That would take you past the standard manufacturer warranties.Yep and the for the first time in my life I got the B2B. I was worried about a brand new model (2018).
As close as you can get to "one pedal driving" on the Clarity.I honestly don't understand the advantage of using the paddles. I used them for a few weeks (usually going through all 4 stages) and noted the charging taking place on the display, but when I used the brakes instead I noticed a significant increase in the charging, sometimes double according to the display. So the only reason I can see for using the paddles is to reduce brake pad wear, or when going down a long hill to prevent the brakes from overheating. Can anyone shed some more light on this topic?
The paddles use regen only, so they are the most efficient way to slow down, whereas the brake pedal uses a combination of friction brake and regen. However as far as we know except for hard braking the brake pedal still uses mostly regen and only a little bit of friction braking, which we think is to add smoothness. The Clarity is often complemented on its smooth braking using the pedal compared to some other hybrids and EV's, so that is likely why they blend in a little bit of friction braking.I honestly don't understand the advantage of using the paddles.

I drive in Sport mode exclusively and have regen set to maximum. I consider it to be similar to driving a stick and downshifting. The key for me has been to learn how to feather the release of the gas pedal so the slowing of the car is not abrupt. I've wondered what drivers behind me think when they have decided that my brake lights don't work (big foobar, Honda) and then they come on when I come to a full stop using the brake pedal. It let's me drive without switching back and forth from gas pedal to brake pedal.I honestly don't understand the advantage of using the paddles.
