I WENT TO THE OURISMAN HONDA OF LAUREL SEVICE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE THEM TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM DUE TO A RECALL THAT I WAS INITIALLY UNAWARE OF. THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD FIX THE ISSUE AT NO COST. LATER, I RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL THAT STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM DUE TO THE CONVERSION OF THE VAN. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM WAS MOVED TO A DIFFERENT AREA WHEN THE VAN WAS CONVERTED TO A WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE VEHICLE. THEREFORE, THEY MADE CLAIMS TO NOT HAVE NORMAL ACCESS TO THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM. THEY HAVE NOW DECLARED THE RECALL REPAIRS TO BE NULL AND VOID. OURISMAN HODA OF LAUREL HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR, REPLACE OR REFUND THE EQUIPMENT OR PARTS.
