After making 3 trips to Pearson Honda in less than 24 hours, I need to take my vehicle elsewhere to make sure it's safe to drive.
The first trip was for a routine oil and filter change. It was downhill from there due to issues caused by Pearson Honda Service.
1 Glove Box Won't Close
After the routine service, I got into my vehicle, opened the glove compartment, placed the service receipt inside and attempted to close the glove box. It would not close. The only things in my glove box are the vehicle manual and a handful of napkins, so nothing of mine was blocking it. I went back into the Service Center and described what was happening. Two reps followed me out. One examined the issue, and stated that the cabin filter is located behind the glove box and whomever changes, had not put the glove box panel back together properly. Easy fix, so it didn't bother me.
2 - Incorrectly Attached Part Falls Off While I'm Driving on 288
Glove box now intact, I left Honda Pearson Service Center and headed home. Halfway there. While driving down 288, I heard a loud clank, there were some sparks from underneath and a terrible sound that was like grinding metal. I pulled over to the shoulder and there was a large metal plate hanging from my vehicle. I called the service center and they said to call a tow truck. I asked if they would be covering it, and only then did they offer me the number to a towing company they regularly use. I sat on the side of 288 for 45 minutes waiting for a tow truck. The next morning, a service rep called to let me know the splash guard had not been attached properly after the oil was changed, they replaced it, free of charge, and it was ready.
3 - Windshield Wiper Arm Detached
I arrived just under two hours later to pick up my vehicle. Upon walking out to my vehicle, I noticed that my back windshield wiper was not in place, sitting horizontally, as usual, but was hanging down. I looked at the service rep and asked what happened. He had me get into the vehicle and turn the rear wiper on. It would not move. The rep said it must've happened when they washed the car after servicing it, and probably just needs a bolt tightened. I had to take my daughter somewhere, so I had to leave and then drive 30 minutes back. Pearson Honda is not close to me, nor on the way to anywhere I was going.
4 - Another Incorrectly Attached Part
After returning to Pearson Honda, the third visit in less than 24 hours, I waited while the back wiper was repaired. I was told the bolt had backed out so it was sitting in place, but not attached. However, I had not ever experienced any issues with it. Never loose or unresponsive. It didn't even jiggle when I closed the hatched. Once it was done, I was being led back to me vehicle by a rep, however, another service center rep stopped him, whispered something to him and he walked off to look at the back of my vehicle. The other two looked at me and said "The wiper should be attached to the left, but it's on the right". This was not a mechanic, who saw the error. This was a Customer Service Rep in the service department who noticed it as it went by. They try to operate the wiper, but it doesn't move, so I wait, again, as they remove and reattach the blade.
5 - Several Scratches That Were Not Previously There
There are 4 small, but clear knicks in the bumper paint; and there is a long scratch on the bottom part of the driver's side door. The very bottom part that is more like a hard plastic.
I missed a movie date and lunch with an out of town friend; and spent extra time and gas having to drive back and forth.
At this point, I wouldn't trust them to fix a pair of roller skates. read more
