2011 HONDA PILOT Complaints

TAKATA RECALL.- IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 60 DAYS (SINCE I RECEIVED THE LETTER FROM HONDA AND SINCE I NOTIFIED HONDA OF FORT WORTH, 3400 W LOOP 820 S, FORT WORTH, TX 76116 . I HAVE CALLED THEM SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY TOLD ME TO AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER ON THE FRONT SEAT. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE; I HAVE CHILDREN AND THAT'S WHY I GOT AN SUV, CHILDREN RIDE IN THE BACK AND ADULTS IN THE FRONT. IF I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE OUR PILOT THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED, I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST AN EQUAL LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS FIXED. WAITING LONGER IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. RESPECTFULLY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WILL CONTACT ME AS SOON AS THE PARTS A IN. THIS WAS BACK IN JULY OF 2016! I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL!

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED NOTICE JULY 2016 OF THIS RECALL AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP WHO ORDERED THE NECESSARY PARTS ON JULY 19, 2016. I HAVE BEEN CALLING THE DEALER WEEKLY TO CHECK ON THE PARTS ARRIVING. AS OF THIS WEEK, THE PARTS HAVE STILL NOT COME IN AND NOT BEING ABLE TO USE THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT INCONVENIENCE WITH MY JOB AND MY FAMILY.

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA AUTOMOBILE DIVISION SENT ME THE RECALL BUT NOW SAYS CONTACT DEALER. DEALER ORDERED PART 3 AUG. TO DATE NO PART. DEALER TAKES TRADE INS CARS REQUIRING RECALL AND SELLS THEM. I WAS TOLD SWAPPING RECALL PARTS BY THE DEALER IS AUTHORIZED. ARE MY PARTS BEING SWAPPED BY THE DEALER TO SELL TRADE INS INSTEAD OF FIXING CUSTOMERS. DEALER IS UNIVERSITY HONDA, FLORENCE AL, 35630. HONDA AUTOMOTIVE DIVISION IS RECORDINGS ONLY, DEALER HAS NO ANSWERS AND MAKES NO CONTACT REGARDING STATUS OF ORDERED PART WHILE I CONTINUE TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. HONDA HAS NOT STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE ON THIS ISSUE AND ONLY PUT YOU ON TO THE DEALER WHO APPEARS MORE INTERESTED IN SELLING TRADE INS THAT FIXING CUSTOMERS' CARS. HONDA SHOULD TRACK RECALL PARTS BY VIN AND INFORM THE CUSTOMER WHEN THEIR PART HAS BEEN SHIPPED WITH EXPECTED DELIVERY DATE. AS CURRENTLY MANAGED THE CUSTOMER HAS NO WAY OF KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE PART ORDERED FOR THEIR CAR BY VIN. TRUST IN THE DEALER IS NOT A VIABLE SOLUTION AS THEIR OBJECTIVE IS TO SELL CARS, HONDA HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO THE CUSTOMER FOR SAFE CARS AND THEY ARE FAILING. I ALSO HAVE A 2009 HONDA RIDGELINE VIN# [XXX] THAT IS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL WITH THE SAME ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
