ON 8/24/2021 I visited a Honda dealer(Planet Honda Dealer located at 2285 Route 22 West Union NJ 07083) to fix my air bag recalls and met the service advisor/Eric Malheiro, and showed him the mailed letter regarding the recall on my vehicle , after the service crew get my vehicle n the shop, the service advisor told me that have to pay for diagnosis and after that I will pay for the parts needed Modules and other stuff, I tried to explain to hi m that as per the federal law my car has a recall for a safety issue, s dealers or Manufacturers should fix it free of charge, but he refused and return car from service ,I left and decided to file a complain, please respond thanks

I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OTHER THAN BEING REAR ENDED AND IT WAS NOT MAJOR. MY AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OUT. MY SEAT BELT ALARMS WOULD NO LONGER WORK AND MY LOCKS WOULD NOT WORK AUTOMATICALLY. MY AIR BAG MODULE(SRS UNIT) NEEDED REPLACED. IT EFFECTED MY AIRBAGS, SEAT BELTS AND MY POWER LOCKS. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT KNOW THAT THE LOCKS COULD EVEN BE EFFECTED BUT AS SOON AS IS WAS REPLACED THE LOCKS WORKED AS THEY DID PRIOR TO THE MALFUNCTION. I HAVE HAD A COUPLE MECHANICS TELL ME THAT THE MODULE SHOULD NOT EVER GO BAD UNLESS I HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

DEAR SIR, I HAVE HAD PROBLEM WITH ENGINE LIGHT COMING UP ALONG WITH SHAKING OF MY VEHICLE, THIS ALSO TURNS ON MY TRACTION LIGHT ON MY PANEL. THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN JUNE 2019 IN SAN ANTONIO. I HAD WARRANTY AT THE TIME. I TOOK MY CAR TO HILL COUNTRY HONDA FOR EVALUATION, THE TOLD ME IT WAS JUST A COIL AND THEY WOULD REPLACE IT. THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN REPEATEDLY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN 6 MONTHS LATER AFTER I LEFT SAN ANTONIO, I NOW LIVE IN HOUSTON. I HAVE MET WITH MANY MECHANICS, ONE MASTER MECHANIC TOLD ME HE WAS SURE IT A WAS A DEFECTIVE PISTON RING . MOST MECHANICS HAVE JUST BEEN CHANGING THE COIL AND SPARK PLUGS. HE TOLD ME THIS WAS WASTE OF MY MONEY SINCE IT IS NOT THE REAL ISSUE. UP ON HIS RECOMMENDATION, I SOUGHT A SECOND OPINION AT AT HONDA DEALERSHIP SINCE I FELT IT WAS STRANGE FOR A PISTON RING NEEDING TO BE CHANGED. WITHOUT ME SAYING ANYTHING DESCRIPTIVE ABOUT VEHICLE, THEY IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME, ITS THE PISTONS, WE CAN CHANGE THEM (6) FOR 4000. DID NOT TELL ME WHY OR WHAT CAUSED THIS UNUSUAL DEFECT. UPON RESEARCHING I FOUND HONDA PILOTS 2008-2013 MODELS HAVE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND WERE PART OF A RECALL TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING TO ME. WHAT IS REALLY UNLAWFUL IS THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN SAN ANTONIO KNEW ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE PISTONS IN HONDA PILOTS AND INSTEAD ISSUED A TEMPORARY FIX. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ADVISE. I DESPERATELY NEED HELP IN FIXING THIS DEFECT, I STILL OWE VEHICLE AND HAVE TAKE A GREAT FINANCIAL TOLL ON ME AND MY FAMILY. THANK YOU.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT CYLINDER 2 WAS MISFIRING. MECHANIC MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS STYLE OF PILOT AND HE RECOMMENDED TAKING IT TO A HONDA DEALER. THERE WAS A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR 2009-2013 PILOTS TO COVER THIS PROBLEM SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS EXTENSION WOULDN'T COVER 2015 PILOTS SINCE THEY ARE THE SAME GENERATION VEHICLE. I REACHED OUT VIA PHONE AND EMAIL TO AT LEAT 4 HONDA INDIVDUALS AND NEVER HEARD BACK. SOUNDS LIKE THEY DONT WANT TO CALL OR EMAIL BACK SINCE THEY KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM. LOCAL HONDA REPRESENTATIVE SAID HONDA WOULD COVER 70% BUT THEY SHOULD REALLY COVER 100% SINCE ITS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THIS GENERATION OF VEHICLE.

WE BOUGHT A "WHITE DIAMOND PEARL" COLOR HONDA PILOT NEW FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP. WE NOTICED PAINT PEELING FROM THE ROOF A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THAT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. NOW, ABOUT 1/3 OF THE PAINT IS GONE FROM THE ROOF AS IT JUST BLOWS AWAY IN PIECES WHEN I DRIVE. RECENTLY WE NOTICED A NEW SPOT OF PEELING ON THE HOOD THAT WAS BEING HELD IN PLACE BY THE CLEAR BRA. LAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IT CAME LOOSE AND FLEW TOWARD MY WINDSHIELD. I AM LUCKY THERE WAS NO ONE NEXT TO ME BECAUSE I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS A LARGE ROCK COMING UP FROM THE ROAD AND SWERVED. THERE'S NOW AN ADDITIONAL LARGE SPOT OF MISSING PAINT ON THE HOOD. IN DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS SPECIFIC PAINT COLOR. THERE IS NO HAIL OR OTHER DAMAGE TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR WHERE THE PAINT IS PEELING. WE ARE NOW SEEING SMALL AREAS OF PEELING ON THE DOORS AS WELL.

WHEN DRIVING THE CHECK FUEL CAP LIGHT HAS COME ON 2 TIMES AND IT WENT OFF. THEN AN ICON THAT LOOKS LIKE AN ENGINE COMES ON AND IT IS THE EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHT. AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF HONDA CUSTOMERS WITH THE PILOT, CIVIC AND ACCORD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS LIKE A RECALL ISSUE AFFECTING 3 DIFFERENT HONDA VEHICLES WITH 5000 MILES TO 60,000 MILES. THE DEALER EITHER GIVES CAR COMPUTER UPDATE OR EMISSION SENSOR REPLACED, OR REPLACE INJECTORS ALL AT CUSTOMER COST.
