Dealer completed campaigns 14-045 and 14-046 front air bags on November 11, 2014 for our 2004 Honda Pilot which is located in florida. Subsequently received a second airbag recall notice NHTSA 14v-700 dated January 2015, front passenger air bag. Called dealer for appointment, service manager reports completion of the earlier 14-045, 46 is sufficent, not necessary to complete 14v-700. Called Honda America, same response. Honda America would not provide written documentation, recall is still shown as open this vehicle.
Srs light came on. Honda dealer said opds unit need replacing. Was replaced 5/6/09. Drove about a month and srs light comes back on. Honda dealer said unit may be defective. Unit replaced. Drove about 2 weeks and srs light comes back on. Honda dealer stumped. They just keep resetting the unit but srs light just comes back on. It stays on all the time now.
Opsd (occupant position detection system) and rearwiper motor failed at the same time without previous accident. Honda dealer saying this items are not covered under Honda certified used car contract. I need to pocket out about $900. 00 to replaced both parts.
We have two Honda Pilot 2004 and 2005. Approximately 6 months ago the air bag (srs) light on the 2005 came on, today the light on the 2004 is on.
The air bags failed to work when the car impacted a vehicle head-on. The air bag failed a 2nd time when the vehicle was impacted in the rear bumper. The speed of the vehicle in the rear was going aproximately 50mph. The children in the rea seating had very soar necks for a week. I bought the car with the understanding the vehicle was a safe vehicle. I had four children in the vehicle. When I talked to the Honda mechanic, he explained to me that because I was in the middle of two cars the air bag computer system was confused on where to send the air. . . I think that is wrong! there should be a signal that when confused on where to go, set all of the airbags off. By not sending any off, it indangered my family. . . Please reconsider the five star rating you give a false impression.
Air bag system kept disabling by itself, and there was no way to reset it unless taken to the dealer. Consumer took vehicle to the dealer 3 times, and each time it took days before consumer had vehicle returned.
