2003 Honda Pilot complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA PILOT. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE KEY WOULD NOT GO INTO THE IGNITION SLOT ENTIRELY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THE KEY TO ENTER AND ONCE IT WAS IN, IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

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 CALLED AGAIN THE TOWING COMPANY AND HE WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE. I DECIDED TO BRING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO STAY OVERNIGHT (EARLY BIRD). I PARKED MY CAR IN THE DRIVE THROUGH LANE AND SHUT-OFF THE ENGINE. I REMOVE THE KEY AND INSERTED AGAIN BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE KEY AND NOT ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED MY CAR PROBLEM AND I WAS ADVISED THAT THE IGNITION ASSEMBLY WAS WORN-OUT. THE NEW IGNITION ASSEMBLY WAS INSTALLED AND RE-KEYED, CUT AND PROGRAMMED NEW KEY. I SAVED THE OLD PART FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. I PAID $618.58 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. I AM THINKING THIS REPAIR WAS SO EXPENSIVE. THE ESTIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,292.

FOR FEW YEARS I HAVE BEEN NOTICING TERRIBLE MILEAGE, BUT THOUGHT THE CAR WAS GETTING OLDER. FOR DEFINITELY AN YEAR, THERE IS A NOTICEABLE SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE CAR, AGAIN THOUGHT ITS THE SIGN OF AN OLD CAR. BUT, LAST WEEKEND I REALIZED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND FINALLY GOT AROUND WHATS HAPPENING. THE FUEL STARTED DRIPPING AT THE FUEL TANK - FUEL LINE AND IS DRIPPING AT 1 DROP PER MINUTE .. NOT SURE IF IT DRIPS AT THE SAME RATE ALL THE TIME. READING AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS LIKE NHTSA WOULD ONLY CONSIDER ANYTHING AFTER SOMEONE DIES. SOUNDS LIKE USELESS POSTING OVER HERE, BUT JUST DOING IT FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS. THIS CAR HAD BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE, THOUGH THE DRIP STARTED VERY RECENTLY, THUS GIVING VERY LOW MILEAGE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN A RECALL.

THE INTERLOCK LEVER OF THE IGNITION SWITCH MAY DEFORM, WHICH CAN ALLOW THE INTERLOCK FUNCTION OF OF A VEHICLE WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TO BE DEFEATED.

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.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE KEY AND IGNITION. THE KEY WILL GO INTO THE IGNITION BUT WON'T TURN. WHICH YOU CAN'T TURN THE CAR ON. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP IN 2013, WHICH THEY FIXED THE 2013 IGNITION RECALL PART. UNFORTUNATELY THE RECALL FOR THE IGNITION DIDN'T COVER THE TIMBER OR THE KEY. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED OF $1000 TO FIX IT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK TO MY HOME AND THE TOW COMPANY PUT ME IN CONTACT WITH A LOCKSMITH THAT WAS ABLE TO FIX IT FOR A LOT CHEAPER. NOW THE PROBLEM HAS A ARISED AGAIN. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK YET AGAIN BECAUSE THE KEY WOULDN'T TURN IN THE IGNITION.

BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY RECALLED AND REPAIRED FOR THIS PROBLEM IN 2012. HAD TO RELY ON HIGH BEAMS TO GET HOME. REPLACED ONLY ONE BULB WHICH ON INSPECTION LOOKED GOOD. BOTH LIGHTS CAME ON. PROBLEM SOLVED OR SO I THOUGHT. WIFE DROVE THE CAR YESTERDAY AND SMOKE BEGAN TO COME OUT FROM AROUND THE STEERING COLUMN. SHE DRIVES WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON EVEN DURING THE DAY. AFTER TURNING OFF THE LIGHTS AND THE CAR AND ALLOWING IT TO COOL OFF, SHE MADE IT HOME WITHOUT THE LIGHTS BEING ON. UPDATE 9/15/15*CW THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. UPDATED 09/29/15*JB

OWNER DRIVER WAS STOPPED ON RED LIGHT ALONG WITH 20 OTHER CARS , THE DRIVER WAS LAST IN THE LANE AND OTHER DRIVER DID NOT APPLIED BRAKES, THIS VEHICLE WAS BANGED FROM THE BACK. BODY DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED BY WESTMINSTER HONDA IN COSTA MESA . CALIFORNIA, BODY REPAIR COST OF $ 3,500 WAS PAID BY INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE PERSON WHO WAS AT FAULT, THE AUTO TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT COST OF $ 6,500 WAS RECOVERED FROM THE ME WHO WAS NOT AT FAULT. THE QUESTION IS AT THAT TIME THE AIR BAG WAS NOT DEPLOYED BECAUSE OF FAULT? AFTER THAT I GOT RECALL NOTICE FROM AMERICAN HONDA FOR TWO AIR BAGS DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE, THE NOTICE CAME IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY 2015, FIRST THEY DELAYED THE REPAIR TASK BY MAKING AN EXCUSE THAT THEY ARE VERY BUSY AND FIRST APPOINTMENT IS AVAILABLE ON FEBRUARY 28 TH AT AUTO NATION HONDA IN GILBERT AZ THEN I GOT AN E MAIL AND A CALL FROM DEALER THAT THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER, AND THEY WOULD NOT KNOW WHEN PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. AFTER THAT I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA, THEY HAVE INTERVENED AND ASSURED ME THAT AUTO NATION HONDA WILL CALL ME TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT AGAIN. THEN I GAVE 4 - 5 CALLS TO AUTO NATION HONDA, TILL TODAY AS OF APRIL 19TH THIS REPAIR IS NOT FIXED EVEN THOUGH ALL PARTIES KNOW THAT THIS IS CRITICAL TO THE LIFE OF DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS IN THIS VEHICLE. NOW I AM IN ROUND ROCK TEXAS, SO I WILL NEED TO SEE NEW DEALER WILL SOMEBODY CONTROL THESE AUTO COMPANIES AND DEALER FOR COMPLIANCE? THANKS *TR
