Honda Pilot Engine And Engine Cooling Safety Report | Mar 29, 2012
Reported on Mar 29, 2012
| I PURCHASED MY 2012 HONDA PILOT ON TUESDAY MARCH 27, 2012 WITH 113 MILES ON IT. WITHIN 2 DAYS I EXPERIENCED FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE IT TIMES OUT AFTER 7-10 SECONDS AND I HAVE TO TRY AGAIN. NOW, 8 DAYS AFTER THE PURCHASE IT HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES. I DID RESEARCH ON THE NEW MODEL AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE THE FALL OF 2011. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN I WOULD HAVE NEVER SIGNED ON THE DOTTED LINE AND I WANT THE ISSUE RECTIFIED. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND THEY SAID IT WAS A NEW ISSUE THAT HAS NO FIX CURRENTLY. AFTER A THE 3RD INCIDENT I FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH HONDA IN CALIFORNIA AND I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING. NO OFFER TO TAKE THE CAR BACK, NO OFFER FOR A SAFER VEHICLE THAT WORKS PROPERLY. I JUST WANT A WORKING CAR-- I AM PAYING MONEY FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS KNOWN TO BE FAULTY AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. I WAS TOLD I WAS THE 5TH PERSON IN THE DEALERSHIPS DISTRICT TO HAVE THIS ISSUE BUT STILL I HAVE THIS FAULTY VEHICLE THAT IS UNRELIABLE. *TR | |
