Honda needs to do better....

Honda really needs to do better with their products. They need to inform Honda dealers about the ongoing issues that their equipment is experiencing. From the research I have done, as well as from my own personal experience with more than 1 faulty Honda product, tells me that Honda is not telling service departments what to look for when something comes in for repairs. When I brought in my 2024 Honda Rubicon for repairs, the dealer was completely puzzled as to what could be wrong, but when they contacted Honda Service they knew where to look immediately but at the same time told the Honda Dealer that they have never heard of this before, but yet they knew exactly where to look. then after some time it became very clear that they DID know about it because for some strange reason the parts were back ordered, which leads me to believe that this was happening so often that the parts are no longer available. Then a few months down the roads I find out that not only are the parts back ordered, the original parts were pulled off the shelf due to faulty machining by the manufacturer of the part, yet for some reason Honda still shipped out some of the parts to try to make repairs, which on my machine failed 4 times!!! When Honda Canada sent out a 5th part the dealership refused to install it because it was exactly the same as the previous parts that were sent out. It is also my understanding that one of the reasons that the dealership did not want to install the part is because Honda Canada was not willing to pay for a lot of the hours that the dealership had spent on the multiple failed repairs of my machine, to be honest why would anyone want to continue to do work for free when it is not their problem that the parts supplied to them by Honda and the part manufacturer are faulty....
