    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    The dealership did not meet the terms of selling Honda Certified Pre-owned (2 Keys).When purchasing 2020 Certified Pilot, the dealership informed us that they had misplaced the second key for the automobile and would send it to us since we live 1h 45m away. A week after purchase, they advised that we would need to drive down and get key programmed.I shared with them that this was not a part of our agreement in the purchase of the car and is a time and monetary impact. I asked them to send the key to my local dealership and call them so they could program it at no change to me. They did not accept.Originally they offered to compensate gas and I shared that it was not acceptable as it would still take 3.5-4 hours roundtrip. Then on **** the second offer was a meal, as well as two future oil changes. I thanked them for the meal offer, but still not accepted as the 2 oil changes add no value because of the time/distance to get it. I reiterated my request to send the key to my local dealership.I followed up again on **** - no response I followed up again on ***** and received a reply advising I would receive a call with a plan on *****. No call was received.My resolution requested is for them to send the key to Shottenkirck Hondaon Hwy 72 and for them to be able to program the key at no charge to me.

    We had the salesman ******. We paid cash in full for a car for my husband to use for work. The key was starting to fall apart, the back air vent was pushed in, ect . We brought all of this to his attention and he said that is we purchased the car they would fix the issues. I asked him to put it in the contract and he said he did. He even wrote it on a paper and showed my husband and I. I had to take the car up to the dealership twice for them to fix the air vent. The 1st time they told me it was fixed, I got in the car to leave, looked and it was still broke! I called them and they told me Id have to come back later. I mentioned the key and they said they had to order it. It has now been 3 month, multiple phone calls where they have said we are waiting for it to come in, we will call you back they never do, you need to talk to ***** but when we ask to talk to him hes busy or not there. Now they are telling us that ***** did not put it in our paperwork, that they will not replace it. They told us to take it up with the car salesman because he made the deal and not the dealership.
