problem #1

Jan 132010

Pilot EXL V6 3.8L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 72,000 miles

I scheduled to have the wiper motor replaced and before the appointment date it rained and the motor failed completely, I was forced to drive home (25 miles) in the rain with NO wipers!!! I called Honda to get the part and they said that they do no stock it and I can have it tomorrow. I ordered the part and replaced it next day. I called Honda Customer Service to get them to pay for the part and they refused. I feel that a wiper motor failure at 72000 miles is PREMATURE and that is what I told Honda USA, I told them that I have a poor opinion of Honda quality and that I will NOT own another Honda and if asked, I will NOT recommend that anyone buy a Honda product. In over 35 years of owning cars I have NEVER had a wiper motor failure AT ALL!!! 72000 miles is VERY PREMATURE!!! DO NOT BUY HONDA PRODUCTS!!!
