THE NOISE IN OUR CAR HAS PROGRESSIVE GOTTEN WORSE AND THEN WE STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH OUR LOCKS AND LIGHTS IN OUR CAR. WE FINALLY FOUND OUT THAT THE DOOR SENSOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS NO LONGER BEING "TURN-OFF" AS IT SHOULD BE. THIS IS APPARENTLY BECAUSE THE DOOR IS SLOWING SEPARATING FROM THE CAR. NOT NOTICEABLE FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE WORSE SYMPTOM IS WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURNS THE DOORS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK. THIS SEEMED PRETTY SCARY THINKING THE DOORS MIGHT OPEN. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 9/10/12. OVER THE NEXT WEEK, NOTICED THAT BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL WAS EXCESSIVE AND THE FEEL WAS SOFT - LIKE THERE WAS AIR SOMEWHERE IN THE BRAKES LINES. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE MANAGER DROVE THE CAR AND THEN INDICATED THAT HE HAD RECEIVED SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS; THAT ON SOME OF THE OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT, THEY HAD BLED THE BRAKE SYSTEM WITH NO RESULTANT IMPROVEMENT; THAT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT ABNORMAL IN THIS REGARD; AND THAT HONDA HAD NOT ISSUED ANY SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS SUBJECT TO DATE. WROTE A COMPLAINT ON THIS TO HONDA USA, CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 10-09-12. RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM A HONDA USA CUSTOMER SERVICE CASE MANAGER ON 10-26-12 TO SAY THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM ON OTHER 2012 HONDA PILOT VEHICLES, THAT THEY HAD CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND CONCLUDED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OPERATING PER DESIGN, AND THAT IF I WAS UNSATISFIED I SHOULD CONTACT THE LOCAL HONDA DISTRICT PARTS/SERVICE MANAGER. WILL ATTEMPT TO DO THIS NEXT WEEK, BUT THIS SOUNDS BOGUS TO ME SINCE THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO OTHER NHTSA COMPLAINTS ALREADY ON THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
