THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME SHEARED OFF ON THE FRONT BAR, LEFT SIDE. THE SEAT IS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE FRAME. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS, I FEAR WHAT WILL HAPPEN. THERE WAS NO OUTSIDE INFLUENTIAL CAUSAL EFFECT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, IT JUST BROKE. THE SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING, A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THIS SEEMS TO PROBLEMATIC AMONG 2003 - 2006 HONDA PILOTS. HONDA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL? *TR
2010
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE 2010 HONDA PILOT IN WHICH THE CONDENSER IN PLACED WITHIN A POSITION THAT IS VULNERABLE TO CONTACT FROM ROCKS, PEBBLES, AND OTHER ROAD DEBRIS DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON PAVED ROADWAYS, AND THAT HONDA FAILED TO DESIGN THE VEHICLE EITHER TO WITHSTAND THIS IMPACT OR WITH A GUARD OR GRILL THAT WOULD PROTECT THE CONDENSER DESPITE THE "CLEAR VULNERABILITY" OF THE CONDENSER TO THIS DEBRIS CONTACT. ON MAY 11, 2012, A PEBBLE FLEW UP FROM THE ROADWAY AND ENTERED THE CONDENSER THEREFORE DESTROYING IT. HONDA HAS ADMITTED THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT WAS SOLVED WITH THEIR 2011 AND 2012 MODELS OF THE HONDA PILOT. *JS
