Fuel Pump module with out of specification impellers. My vehicle had this above specific recall, in which I took my vehicle into the local Honda dealership to get repaired, however, just 2 days after my vehicle had been “repaired” it broke down/stalled and became inoperable while I was driving into a store parking lot. Ironically, earlier that day I called Honda Service department to inform them that my fuel detector continued to say full even though the dash information read only 118 miles left in fuel, they instructed me to bring the vehicle back to their shop so that they could assess the problem. Shortly after the call I made to Honda Service my vehicle broke down and so I had to have my vehicle towed back to the service department, after Waiting for almost 3 hours they informed me that my vehicle had ran out of gas and insinuated that it was my fault, even though my vehicle’s fuel indicator read full tank and was clearly not! Honda service representative continued to inform me that it was a little mistake that the mechanic installed the recalled parts incorrectly and that my vehicle was now fixed correctly. The following day I filled my gas tank full and the fuel indicator in my vehicle NOW read that it was less than 1/2 tank full!!! Once AGAIN the Honda service station FAILED to install the RECALLED parts correctly and when I called them to report my issues they responded to me as if AGAIN it was my fault!!! I’m tired of the inconsistencies and lack of respect and professionalism from this department!!!! How many times does my vehicle have to break down and possibly cause an accident before the recalled issues with it are fixed correctly??? Something has to be done!!!
