PIVOT BOLT ON THE AUTO-TENSIONER BROKE TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THE PIVOT BOLT BROKE WAS AFTER I HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED AND I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY TO TAKE CHILDREN TO SCHOOL IN SUBZERO WINTER CONDITIONS. I BARELY MADE IT HOME AS MY VAN WAS RUNNING ONLY ON THE BATTERY. IF I HAD STALLED ALONG THE ROAD, ME AND MY CHILDREN WERE AT RISK OF HYPOTHERMIA OR POSSIBLY DEATH DUE TO FRIGID -40 COLD WEATHER. I THEN HAD A NEW TENSIONER PULLEY BRACKET INSTALLED AND AFTER DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE PIVOT BOLT BROKE OFF COMPLETELY AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HARM OR DEATH DUE TO DEFECTIVE PIVOT BOLT..
THE VEHICLE HAS MAJOR LEAK FROM THE FIREWALL DOWN TO THE FLOOR COMPARTMENT. WATER GETS IN BOTH TAIL LIGHTS WHEN IT IS RAINING. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER TWICE AND THEY NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. HONDA REFUSED ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS. I WILLL NEVER BUY A HONDA EVER AGAIN. THIS IS MY THIRD HONDA AND LAST TOO.
"TAKATA RECALL" PAINT IS STRIPPING AND PEELING OFF OF VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AS HONDA IS A WELL KNOWN AND RELIABLE BRAND. THERE ARE OTHER MAKES AND MODELS WHOS PAINT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME. WHAT IS HONDA'S EXCUSE FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT HAS EFFECTED NUMEROUS HONDA OWNERS? HOW WILL THEY MAKE THIS RIGHT?
