Honda Pilot Latches/locks/linkages Safety Report | Oct 18, 2010
Reported on Oct 18, 2010
| 2011 HONDA PILOT, SPONTANEOUS STAR CRACK IN LOWER CENTER WINDSHIELD, SPONTANEOUS REAR HATCH AND PASSENGER DOOR OPENING WHILE DRIVING WITH MY YOUNG CHILD IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT (WITH LOCKED DOORS), TRANSMISSION RATTLE UPON SLOW ACCELERATION OR COAST AT SECOND AND THIRD GEARS....HONDA DEALER SAID CALL INSURANCE ABOUT WINDSHIELD, SOMETHING MUST HAVE HIT WINDSHIELD WITHOUT ME KNOWING IT, SAID FOUND NO ABNORMAL NOISES AND CANNOT DUPLICATE RATTLE NOISE BECAUSE DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT DRIVING PATTERNS, SAID CANNOT DUPLICATE DOORS OPENING WHILE DRIVING, DEALER DID NOT FIX ANY OF THESE SAFETY ISSUES, JUST TOLD US TO PICK UP THE CAR...AFTER RESEARCH ON INTERNET, I BELIEVE THESE TO BE MANUFACTURER DEFECTS. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW VEHICLE SO I DID NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SAFETY OR REPAIRS. THIS IS THE THIRD PILOT I HAVE HAD, AND THE SAFETY ISSUES ARE VERY CONCERNING. AFTER THE RECALL ON THE 2004 PILOT TRANSMISSION, WHY HAVE THE SAME ISSUES COME UP AGAIN IN 2010? MANY COMPLAINTS CAN EASILY BE FOUND REGARDING THE FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AND WINDSHIELDS IN HONDA VEHICLES. HOW IS IT LEGAL FOR A CAR MANUFACTURER TO CONTINUE ROLLING OUT VEHICLES WITH KNOWN SAFETY ISSUES? AND THEY MARKET THESE VEHICLES TO FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN. HOW ABOUT A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AND SHUT DOWN THESE MANUFACTURING FACILITIES? I WILL NEVER TRUST HONDA AGAIN, AFTER 15 YEARS OF LOYALTY AND TRUST THAT SAFETY SHOULD BE A CORE ISSUE. *TR | |
