1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 11/20/2024

Dealer sold me a lemon car with broken and rotten parts on the car. Dealer never stated the car was messed up or needed the major work it needs now. Dealer at one point took the car to go get inspected at a shop located on 705 jefferson Ave , "and hour later he came back with the car and parked it. Couple days later dealer called me to go get the inspector form form the inspector " gilbert/tony". While viewing the paper correctly, the car was never inspected properly. Once I was able to take the car to a shop to do my own inspection they stated to me that I was sold a lemon car and it would be almost thousands to fix the car "more then I had purchase the car. I called the dealer back multiple times and sent msgs to the dealer regarding the vehicle dealer then blocked my number and the mechanics phone I used to call him after he blocked my number. As of now I am trying to figure out a way to get this car fix and filing a complaint report against this dealer to at lease get justices from this dealer and for him to get his business shut down due to selling people as in myself broken lemon cars.

Lamont sold me a lemon vehicle. Lamont managed to get a false inspection form and provided it to me and stated the vehicle has passed inspection. Once vehicle was taken to multiple mechanic shops to find out if its even able to be fixed and as 3 mechanics stated I was sold a lemon car and they are "unable to fix" the problem. Lamont was contacted on multiple times through calls/text msgs, and voice mails and as of today none of my calls were answered. Lamont then blocked my number and continued to avoid me and the car situation he put me through. I've been trying to reach him every day since the last time he gave me the vehicles documents. I am filing this report to the best of my knowledge with the information he gave me for the vehicle. I would love to get a refund back of all my money spent for this vehicle that was sold to me as a lemon.

3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/11/2022

While driving the vehicle home after purchase on 6/11/2022 the vehicle experienced automatic, minor brake application. However, when we applied the brakes it was as if they fully locked up. By the time we got to the side of the road all of the brakes were smoking. It has been returned to the dealership 3 times for the same issue and they currently have the vehicle. They have experienced the same issue when they were trying to fix the issue but they cannot seem to figure it out. While I was investigating, I noticed that the 2005 Honda Pilot had the same issue, and the recall was started for the 2007 Honda Pilot also but was never issued. It makes it very unsafe to drive.

I kept telling the car to stop, stop, stop. . . And it didn't stop and I knew it I will hit the car in front of me. . . And it did.

9 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2009

Inconsistent brake pedal on 2007 Honda Pilot. Amount pf pressure applied to the brake pedal to stop the truck varies at almost every instance. At times, the pedal is spongy and goes to the floor. Other times it barely moves at all and the truck stops. This has been going on for quite a while now. I had the front brakes replaced in November 2009. When I had the vehicle inspected 1/2010 I had the mechanic check the front brakes but he said they were new and there was no problem. I was greatly surprised to hear about the recall of the 2007 odyssey and ridgeline and cannot believe the Pilot was not included. My daughter frequently drives my Pilot and has also noticed the same problem. This vehicle should be included in the odyssey and ridgeline recall. I believe the basic mechanics are the same so how can a problem that occurs on two truck based vehicles not apply to a third?.
