I picked up a 2006 Steel Blue EX-L Navi a month ago. I got an "I owe You" for the back-Up sensors (which are supposed to be color-coded)... As of yet, the back up sensors have not come in. Has anyone had the same experience? Are the sensors really not available (so readily)?

Replying to: ettamarna (Dec 28, 2005 2:47 pm) I pushed back, saying that it was my hope to remain a loyal Honda customer. My confidence in the car and company has been shaken, and in good faith, I'm not able to recommend Honda to friends and collegues. The Honda rep recommended replacing the engine (which will likely take another week). He said the car would be "good as new." Maybe so, but I'm still spooked about this car. Too many issues on a new vehicle... At the very least, I'm going to press American Honda to provide an extended Honda Care warranty gratis, for my troubles. The Honda rep said that would be on table for discussion, but that their first priority was getting my vehicle back in service. Will update...

Does anyone have a infant (rear facing) seat that will fit in the 2nd row seat and allow the front seat to come back to accomodate a 6 foot passenger? 06 pilot, leather. Seat was on left, moved it to right side but the front seat passenger is really cramped (5 foot 6 wife with knees in dash). Thinking of putting it in the middle, but it might hit both seats. Any thoughts? NO LATCH IN MIDDLE. Maybe someone has a brand seat that fits better......

Replying to: fapel (Dec 30, 2005 10:43 am) I do think there are two sides to these issues. A small percentage of even the most reliable cars are going to have major problems, and Honda is meeting it's obligations under the warranty. I don't think Honda is behaving any differently than any other mfg - I have not heard of a car company simply replacing a vehicle in this situation. I also think there is a good chance the car will be "good as new" if the work is performed competently. While there might be a slight resale hit if the car was sold in the near term, it won't be much of a factor once the car has 50K miles of good service - I certainly wouldn't hesitate to buy a new car that had it's engine replaced early in it's life if it has a good service record following the repair. It does sound like Honda is willing to go with a free extended warranty. If you have a warranty to 120K miles on the new engine, that seems like a fairly good assurance that any problems with the engine will be Honda's problems, not yours, for as long as you own the car. I know it is attractive to think the a car company should just step in and provide a new car whenever an owner has a major problem with a recently purchased vehicle. But if all the car mfgs did this, they'd have to raise the price of cars accordingly and we'd all pay, one way or the other. It's a zero-sum game. Like I said, two sides to this issue. Good luck getting satisfactory resolution regardless. - Mark |
