Honda Pilot Engine Safety Report | Oct 25, 2013
Reported on Oct 25, 2013
| MY HONDA PILOT STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND WITHOUT ANY ENGINE LIGHTS APPEARING WHILE DRIVING ON TWO WAY SIDE ROADS AND ENTERING A HIGHWAY. EMERGENCY BRAKE RELEASE HANDLE WAS NOT WORKING OR RELEASING THE BRAKE APPROPRIATELY SAME DAY. HONDA CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THEY SAY THE CAR IS TO GO WITH ME. NO EXPLANATION FOR INCIDENT. MANUFACTURER HAD THEM PUT SOMETHING IN THE COMPUTER TO READ 15 SECOND PRIOR TO AND AFTER A STALL. THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE FOR ME, MY FAMILY AND ANYONE AROUND ME IF IT IS UNDIAGNOSED AND UNEXPECTED. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES LOST SO RISKS ARE HIGH. I RUN THE RISK OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, INJURY, AND/OR DEATH TO ANYONE IN THE CAR OR OTHERS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA, [XXX] CASE # [XXX] WITHOUT RESOLUTION AND WASTOLD TO PICK THE CAR UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP OR I BE CHARGED A FEE. THE CAR WAS AT BERNARDI HONDA IN NATICK AND THEY DID ALL THEY COULD TO REPLICATE AND WORK WITH HONDA, I WAS TOLD BY THEM TO PICK THE CAR UP OR BE CHARGED A FEE. THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS INVOLVED. I WENT TO PICK THE CAR UP ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER 2, AND DISCOVERED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE RELEASE CORD IS STILL BROKEN AND THERE WERE SCRATCHES ON MY CAR. I LEFT IT THERE SO THEY COULD ORDER PARTS AND FIX SCRATCHES. PLEASE ASSIST IF ABLE. I READ ABOUT TWO RECALLS BY HONDA FOR THE PILOT AND ODYSSEY REGARDING UNEXPECTED BRAKING AND HOW YOU ASSISTED! THANKS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR | |
