Consumer Complaints & Reviews

In the process of taking child to school, oil light started blinking. Dealership was immediately called since car was taken in a week prior for an oil and filter change. Assistant Service Manager stated that the guys probably forgot to reset switch, and to come by dealership to get problem checked out.

Before going to dealership, took car to nearby Auto store. Had associate to come out to check oil level, and found that there was no oil in reservoir. After putting oil in vehicle, I immediately went to Honda service department. After getting there, I asked to speak to the service department manager, and explained the problem to him.

The response given was that, there was probably a leak, but no apology was given on his part. I was also promised to have the problem diagnosed and to be let out of their facility as quickly as possible. After sitting for almost an hour, I went to the service area to see what was taking so long, and the guy said he would contact the manager.

The manager then came out to the area, and said that the seals were leaking. I told him this was funny since there had never been a problem with the vehicle before we brought it to them. They also, put a bunch of explanations of problems on the paper that weren't mentioned before when car was brought in a week prior. When the service manager was questioned about this, then his response was, "Well that's why I am telling you now! "

A request also had to be made for them to credit me back with the price I had to pay for purchasing additional oil. My experience at this dealership was horrible! I have never been treated this way when I have just gone to a regular Jiffy Lube. A manager should never behave in this manner toward a customer.

I have owned a Honda since 2000 and always had excellent service, but today I have an experience management should know about. Earlier today my car wouldn't start and I called AAA to jump the Battery. before they did they ran a test on the Battery and gave me a printed report showing I had a Bad Cell and the Battery should be replaced. I took the Pilot into the Honda Dealer and explained my problem, showed him the report from AAA, and explained that the Battery in the car was a replacement Honda had made on 3/23/07. of the original that came with this 2006 Pilot. I was informed that because this was a factory replacement of original equipment, there was no warranty on the Battery (sounds strange).

I was upset with this information and decided I would replace it as Sears where I would at least get a Battery with a warranty. To sum up the story, I went to Sears. They ran a test on the Battery and said the BAttery was in good shape and didn't need to be replaced.

In the end this didn't cost me anything, but I am sure dissapointed that Honda's service department didn't immediately take charge, check the battery and save me the stress and inconvenience.

Bought a new 2003 Accord in July 2003 and two months later the paint on the bumper is chipped. Honda said a rock hit it and tried to cover it up with touch-up paint that came off. Since that time there are numerous chips in the paint in different locations. Dealership said it was hit with rocks and that is what chipped the paint. I do not live on a gravel road and know that there cannot be that many rocks to hit my car in one year. They will not cover it period!
