I MADE THE DECISION TO BUY THIS CAR FOR SAFETY REASONS. NOW I CAN LOSE MY KEY AT ANYTIME OR LEAVE ME STRANDED BC THE FOB ENCASING IS WEAK AND THEY KNOW THIS BECAUSE THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP IN MY TOWN FELT BAD AND TOOK PITY ON ME AND "REPLACED" THE CASING FOR ME TWICE NOW AND 'ONLY' CHARGED ME $40 EACH TIME. THE DOOR INTERMITTENTLY LOCKS ME OUT OR COMES ON AND OFF. I WENT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND I CAN'T AFFORD THE $300 JUST TO SEE IF IT'LL WORK. NOW - I LIVE IN A HIGH HUMIDITY AREA AND NO RECALL FOR OUR AIRBAGS. I HAVE A CHILD THAT RIDES WITH ME REGULARLY AND IT'S LIKE PLAYING ROULETTE. THANKS HONDA. MY PILOT I HAD TO GET RID OF FOR STOPPING FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING - WELL I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. HONDA IS NO LONGER THE COMPANY IT USED TO BE. HOW ABOUT OWNING UP TO WHAT YOUR WEAKNESSES AND JUST TAKING CARE OF THEM BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE BUYING YOUR PRODUCTS? SHOULD BE CRIMINAL TO DO THESE THINGS TO PEOPLE. WELL MAYBE WE WILL EITHER DIE BECAUSE WE'RE STRANDED ON SIDE OF THE ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE BECAUSE SOMEBODY KILLS US. OR MAYBE WE'LL JUST GET LOCKED IN OUR VEHICLE AND DIE IN A FIERY CRASH BC WE CAN'T GET OUT. OR MAYBE WE GET LUCKY BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS EXPLODE AND SHOOT METAL AT US AND IT GOES QUICK. THIS IS DISGUSTING. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA. *TR
