2003 HONDA PILOT Complaints

A RECALL NOTICE CAME IN JANUARY 2015. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER FOR A REPAIR. HE TOOK MY INFORMATION AND SAID THE PARTS SHOULD ARRIVE APRIL 1ST 2015. I CALLED TODAY (4/16/15) AND NOW THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID HONDA PUSHED BACK THE DATE TO JUNE 1ST 2015 FOR. IT IS WELL OVER 60 DAYS FROM THE TIME OF NOTICE. HOW MUCH LONGER SHOULD I HAVE TO WAIT FOR HONDA TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PROBLEM? *TR

MADE CONTACT WITH CLAWSON HONDA OF FRESNO, CA FOR THE RECALL OF AIRBAGS. APPOINTMENT TO DROP THE VEHICLE OFF ON 2/3/15 AND WORK WAS TO BE DONE WITHIN TWO DAYS. ON 2/6/15, THE RENTAL CAR WAS STARTING TO EAT AT OUR BUDGET AND THE AIRBAGS WERE NEVER RECEIVED OR INSTALLED. CAR WAS RETRIEVED WITH NO WORK DONE. A SECOND RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED THE WEEK OF 4/6/15 IN THE MAIL. MADE CONTACT BY E-MAIL WITH CLAWSON HONDA. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CHECK INTO IT AND GET BACK WITH ME. IS THIS SAFETY RECALL NOT IMPORTANT, THAT IT HAS TAKEN OVER THREE MONTHS AND NO PARTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED YET? *TR
