NHTSA complaint #11041565, filed 2017-10, 160,000 miles“The 2004 Honda Pilot had a recall notice affecting the ignition (NHTSA reference #12v573000). My key was able to be removed without the vehicle being in park. The exact symptoms of the recall. I checked with Honda and they said my vehicle was already fixed. I took it in and they did fix the car, but claimed it had nothing to do with the recall. Either there is a secondary issue that needs to be addressed or they are being less than truthful. I had to pay over $500 for what I believe should have been covered under the recall.”
