On July 29, 2020 I purchased a vehicle from crown Nissan of greenville. They stated that the vehicle had a safety inspection and that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and all that needed was a new ac compressor that they would replace at their expense. They were not transparent about other problems that surfaced within the first quarter tank of gas of owning the vehicle. The brakes were not installed correctly and was causing errors which is a safety concern. Both low control arms and struts were completely worn and not safe for vehicle operation. The front windshield had a crack in it. There were also faulty engine misfiring. There inspection did not animate any of these issues and said the only thing wrong was the ac compressor, which was a lie. The left strut was also was not operational and has made the car unsafe to drive. The vehicle has been driven less than 100 miles and has caused nothing but problems and a safety concern for the driver. I used the dealers service department twice and they were not transparent about issues concerning the vehicle. They did not care and both times said everything was fine which was not true there was a lot wrong with the vehicle that they weren't disclosing. I asked the dealership exactly what was wrong because I needed to know and they assured me the safety inspection was done and there was nothing wrong. The Honda mechanic from fishers garage claims the car has signs of being in a rough accident with underneath repairs, however the dealer assured there was no accidents and the car fax was clear of any defects. Which also turns out to be a lie.

Pdf the warranty extension need to be 10 years not 7 years since 1) this was not communicated to owner 2) this is a quality issue that shows up even before 100k miles 3) warranty extension gave Honda the benefit of 7 years or 100k miles whichever is less when it should be whichever is more since issue happens mainly after year 7 and over 100k miles (public should be protected from this quality issue and not the manufacturer). This will cost the public about 1,200 dollars to repair this defect for something that should be recalled. Honda even issued service bulletin 15-045 https://static. Nhtsa.

Honda is fully aware of their faulty suspension compliance bushings. From new cars to older cars they are cracking and leaking fluid. This cars was just sold to me in Feb of this year and from Honda dealership. This car contains my kids most of the time it concerns me that Honda is not replacing them with a different product then the same faulty ones. Its not uncommon for the control arm bushings on many Hondas/ acuras to expire quickly. It is however a bit dangerous to drive with them if they are starting to wear down or dry rot. They harden when this happens and cause other components on your suspension and sub-frame to fail. The lateral and vertical shaking of your car will cause something to give eventually. It's not something that is putting many children who ride inthem at risk!.

Asked for a zone rep to see. Dealer said no. Contacted jeff at Honda America who is a regional case mgr. People at the dealership told to me that this is a common with Pilots. Please look into this why would Honda pay to retool a part if it was no problem with the original!.
