“Tmy vehicle, a 2007 Honda Pilot is subject to a recall, and I only, in the last two days, became aware of same. I called a local dealer but the person advised that they could not make any repairs at no cost to me.”
NHTSA complaint #11390504, filed 2021-01, 260,000 miles“We made an appointment in august with the bob rohrman Honda in lafayette, in to replace the passenger side airbag. At that time, they told us that the part was not available, but that they would call us to let us know when it was and to make arrangements for the repair. Four months later, we had heard nothing. My wife called today and discovered that they had the part but did not call us. How could such an important safety issue be disregarded by the dealer?”

I was told that the part needed to be ordered and that someone would call me back when the part was in to schedule an appointment. I did not hear anything back from autopark Honda. I received another safety recall notice from Honda and called autopark Honda again on august 14, 2015. They stated that the part ordered for me back in may 2015 had not yet been received and asked me to call back in another week to check on it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10748769, filed 2015-08, 195,000 miles“We experienced a burning odor in the car cab, the air bag indicator lit and the A/C temperature rose to the outside air level. When taken to my car tech, he found that there was a fire on the right cabin wiring harness near where the harness enters the cabin. This fire burnt up all the wiring for several feet and disabled the A/C, front lights and air bag systems. If we had not caught this issue when we did, the engine could have had a fire even when not driving (I.e. In the garage at night). Our repairman also remarked that the airbags could have deployed at anytime when on the road. …”
