2003 Honda Pilot Complaint Log

HONDA REPLACED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT SWITCH (NTHSA REF #15V320000) IN 2013 AND NOW THE SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN (BOTH HEADLIGHT LOW BEAMS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME) AND HONDA SAYS THEY ARE NOT LIABLE. ITS THE SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE. IT APPEARS HONDA SIMPLY REPLACED THE FAULTY SWITCH WITH ANOTHER FAULTY WITHOUT ANY KIND OF REPAIR OF DIFFERENT MANUFACTURING OF THE NEW SWITCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V320000 (AIR BAGS), 14V700000 (AIR BAGS), 12V573000 (ELECTRICAL SYSYTEM), AND 12V136000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

ON MAY 26, 2015, I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON I-5 AT 60 MPH WHEN THE WHEELS OF MY CAR SEIZED. AT WHICH POINT THE CAR BEGAN A RIGOROUS SLIDE, BLACK SMOKE BILLOWED AS THE TREAD OF MY TIRES PEELED OFF. THE FORCE OF THE SLIDE EVENTUALLY JAMMED THE TIRES SIDEWAYS CAUSING THE CAR TO HOP AS IT PROPELLED FORWARD, FINALLY COMING TO A STOP ABOUT A MILE FROM THE STARTING POINT. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT WAS A HORRIFIC RIDE, WHICH STILL CAUSES ME SOME STRESS. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO BILL'S TECH TRANS WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY. BILL'S SENT THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION TO THE MAKER. AT THAT TIME I WAS UNAWARE OF THE RECALL ON HONDA PILOT 2003 TRANSMISSIONS. AFTER HEARING OF THE RECALL A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER, I INFORMED AMERICAN HONDA OF MY INCIDENT. THEY REQUESTED RECEIPTS PERTAINING TO THE INCIDENT WHICH I PROVIDED IN FULL 3 TIMES. ONE OF THE FOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES HAD LOST SOME OR ALL OF THE PAPERWORK THAT I HAD SENT. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR AND A HALF OF DEALING WITH AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY CONTINUE TO PUT ME OFF, EVEN CLOSING THE CLAIM AT ONE POINT; THEY SENT A LETTER WHICH STATED, "WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT YOU IN REGARDS TO YOUR REQUEST, BUT HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN REACHING YOU." I CALLED IMMEDIATELY AND THEY INFORMED ME THEY HAD CLOSED THE CLAIM DUE TO MY LACK OF RESPONDING TO THEIR PHONE CALLS. I TOLD THEM THAT BOTH MY HOME PHONE AND CELL PHONE KEEP LOGS OF WHO CALLS AND THAT THEY ARE NOT ON EITHER ONE. AMERICAN HONDA REOPENED THE CASE. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN REBUFFED REPEATEDLY. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I WAS TOLD SOMEONE WAS REVIEWING THE CASE FOR POSSIBLE REIMBURSEMENT AND HAVE HEARD NOTHING SINCE. IT SEEMS AS IF THEY DO NOT WANT TO HONOR THE RECALL ON THE 2003 HONDA PILOT TRANSMISSION. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP? AMERICAN HONDA RECALL CASE NO. 04263486

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT. WHEN I CAME TO THE INSIDE OF THE CAR WAS SMOKING. THE AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED AND I HAD A THREE INCH BURNED HOLE IN MY LEFT ARM. NOW I HAVE A PERMANENT SCAR BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG. I HAVE PICTURES, POLICE REPORT AND HOSPITAL REPORTS. MA 10/19/2015 UPDATED 12/05/2017*CN

CONTACTED DEALERSHIP IN EARLY FEBRUARY ABOUT PERFORMING SERVICE, THEY ORDERED PARTS. HONDA HAS NOT PROVIDED DEALERSHIP WITH PARTS TO MAKE THE REPAIR, AND IT IS NOW APPROACHING 60 DAYS SINCE ORDER WAS PUT IN. I SEE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA WEBSITE. HONDA IS NOW BREAKING THE LAW WITH REGARD TO THESE AIRBAG RECALLS BY NOT PROVIDING THE PARTS TO MAKE THE REPAIRS WITHIN 60 DAYS, AND WE ARE ALL LEFT TO DRIVE UNSAFE VEHICLES IN THE MEAN-TIME. AIRBAGS ARE SUPPOSED TO SAVE LIVES, NOT END THEM! NHTSA MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! STIFFER PENALTIES ARE APPARENTLY THE ONLY WAY HONDA IS GOING TO COMPLY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL AND PARKED MY CAR AND TOOK HER INSIDE LIKE I ALWAYS DO. WHEN I CAME OUTSIDE AND UNLOCKED MY CAR (WITH THE KEY) MY KEY WOULD NOT GO IN THE IGNITION - LEAVING ME STUCK AND LATE FOR WORK AND HAVING TO USE MY AAA TOWING BECAUSE I COULDN'T EVEN DRIVE IT TO THE SHOP - THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL***I HAVE SEEN MANNNYYYYYY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE EVEN MY TOW TRUCK GUY STATED THIS MODEL AND YEAR AND (KNOWN) FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND NOW WILL COST ME 450.00 TO FIX. A IGNITION SWITCH IS NOT NORMAL WARE AND TARE - ITS NOT LIKE TIRES OR TIMING BELT OR ANY OF THOSE THINGS AND SHOULD BE REPLACED - THIS IS COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR CONSUMERS - THIS WILL DEFINITELY BE A PROBLEM IF SOMEONE GETS HURT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY CANT EVEN GET THE KEY IN THERE IGNITION - LAWSUITS WILL HAPPEN IF A RECALL IS NOT MADE. *TR

I PARKED MY CAR IN THE HOSPITAL LOT. AFTER MY LATE AFTERNOON APPOINTMENT, I WAS ABOUT TO GO HOME. I WAS ABLE TO INSERT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION BUT FAILED TO TURN TO START THE ENGINE. THERE WAS NO CONTACT OR CLICKING SOUND EVEN I TRIED WITH A LITTLE FORCE TO TURN THE KEY. I CALLED THE TOWING COMPANY AND HE WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE. I DROVE THE CAR ABOUT 5 MILES TO GET MY PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE AND PARKED AGAIN IN THE PARKING LOT. I WAS ABOUT TO GO HOME AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO INSERT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION BUT FAILED TO TURN TO START THE ENGINE. AGAIN, THERE WAS NO CONTACT OR CLICKING SOUND EVEN TO TRY WITH A LITTLE FORCE TO TURN THE KEY.

I TOOK MY 2003 HONDA PILOT IN TO REPAIR THE IGNITION RECALL. EVER SINCE THE REPAIR I'VE BEEN HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING MY KEY INTO THE IGNITION. I NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH IT PRIOR TO THE SERVICE.
