• AIR BAGS

  I recently bought this car used and the car and the airbag icon was on and the dealer from where I bought the car. He said that it was a honda air bag recall passenger side and I went to Honda to go and get it replaced and once they fixed it the airbag icon was still on. The car has never been in an accident and the driver side is the issue. I went to the dealership where I bought the car and they gave me a code that they read from the diagnostic test and it read 31-11. The car has never been in a car accident and the driver side is the issue. They said that when Honda made the car they didn't do it right so they should fix it. I need help!

• ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  WE WERE TOLD BY SEVERAL SERVICE TECHNICIANS AT THE WOLFCHASE HONDA IN BARTLETT, TN THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON ALL 2010 HONDA PILOTS, (OURS IS A TOURING FWD), DUE TO A MISS-FIRING ISSUE. WE PURCHASED OUR PILOT 9/2015 AND REPEATEDLY REPORTED THAT THE CAR WAS MISS-FIRING, WHICH CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO APPEAR. WHEN WE TOOK IT IN FOR OIL CHANGES, THE TECHS WOULD TELL US TO DO A GAS TREATMENT, SUCH AS LUCAS (THEY DID IT ONCE THEMSELVES), OR TO CHANGE THE AIR AND CABIN FILTERS. WE DID THAT, AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. UPON EACH OIL CHANGE, THE DEALERSHIP WOULD JUST RESET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TELL US NOTHING ELSE WAS WRONG. WE HAVE SINCE CHECKED FOR COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB, AND SAW THAT NUMEROUS CONSUMERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE & A LAW SUIT SETTLEMENT . WE HAVE CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA, AND NOW THAT THE RECALL IS OUT OF THEIR TIMEFRAME FOR REPAIRS, (ENDED 10/2017) THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEM EVEN BEFORE THE RECALL PERIOD ENDED, BUT ALL THEY DID WAS A "QUICK FIX" OF CHANGING THE SPARK PLUGS TO "APPEAR" TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THERE HAVE BEEN UNEXPECTED "SURGES" OF THE ENGINE WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD'VE INJURED OR KILLED OUR FAMILY, WHICH INCLUDES 2 ELEMENTARY AGED CHILDREN. THEY NEVER DID THE SECOND STEP OF REPLACING THE PISTON RINGS IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTED, BECAUSE OF THE RECALL DATE. THIS WAS BY DESIGN SO THE BUYER WOULD HAVE TO EAT THE COST ($2448 + TAX). AMERICAN HONDA AND WOLFCHASE HONDA (DEALERSHIP), KNEW ABOUT THE RECALL ON THIS MODEL OF PILOT, EVEN AT PURCHASE TIME, BUT DID NOT TELL US, NOR DID AMERICAN HONDA EVER SEND A RECALL NOTICE FOR IT. ALTHOUGH THEY DID SEND ONE FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAGS THAT WAS ALL OVER THE NEWS. SINCE APPARENTLY, THE MEDIA HASN'T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, HONDA DECIDED TO JUST IGNORE IT AND DENY ANY CLAIMS HONDA CONSUMERS HAVE.
