Honda Powersports

Purchased a brand new 2021 Honda Pioneer 700-4 Deluxe in January of 2022, In June of 2023 all fluids were changed by a certified Honda dealer and service center in Mount Pleasant MI per the Honda manual recommendations. In late June, we were riding with Grandchildren on trails in northern Michigan when the unit went into limp mode (loss of power).

Since we were several miles from the starting point, we had someone come out to pick us up (1 adults and 3 Grandchildren below the age of 10) along with a trailer to bring the unit back. Returned the unit to the Honda repair/dealer for evaluation and was determined the unit had a premature cam breakdown along with a collapsed piston ring. The case was elevated 3 times in which we were told there will be no assistance and/or goodwill as the warranty had expired. The unit only has 600 miles on the engine.

We have been told, this is a common issue with the 700-4 and Honda is aware of it by several repair facilities across the country. We purchased this unit to ride the Grandchildren and plow snow (once in 2022 once in 2023). We are in our 60's and don't extreme ride, Repair facility said we did nothing wrong and repair's should be covered by Honda. The repairs are over $5200.00.

We have purchased Honda our whole life and never had an issue and want Honda to stand behind their product. If we had 10000 miles we could accept full responsibility.
