Replying to: steve_ (Dec 04, 2007 10:04 pm) We bought the 100K, bumper to bumper warranty from Joyce Honda. The list of exclusions does not include heated seats. So far, here is where we are: 1: "There is no problem, you are imagining it" 2: "There is a problem but it is normal wear and tear" 3: "Bumper to bumper coverage will not cover it because it works. It heats." 4: "Honda USA will not cover it because they do not want to admit liability" The seat heater is unusable, it causes pain. And obviously, it also causes fires. I am glad to see Honda in Chicago took care of an owner and am not done trying to get Honda to make good on my Pilot. So far, we are working with Joyce Honda with no good news.

I realize that this is an old thread but I'll respond anyway. Are you sure you mean Honda of Naperville in Rockford, Illinois? There's a Honda of Naperville in Naperville but I don't know of one in Rockford. The reason I ask is that I have dealt with the Naperville dealership and they have exceeded my expectations. In general, automakers will take care of defect that involve safety and your problem certainly does involve safety. (I'm glad I read it because I will be watchful for the same problem with my '04 Pilot and, in fact, the seat can get uncomfortably hot.) After I bought my car, I accidentally punched a small hole in my leather driver's seat when I left a screwdriver in my back pocket. I went to the dealer I bought the car from (Honda of Naperville in Naperville) to get a price on a new seat. To my amazement and delight, Honda offered to replace the seat no-charge! Not only that, but they told me to come in the next day and the new seat was installed within an hour! That is the type of service that assures that I will buy my next car from them. I hope you resolved your problem to your satisfaction. |
