2005 HONDA PILOT Complaints

THE DRIVERS SEAT FRAME BROKE WHICH I FEEL IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I AM NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN IT BROKE. IT WASN'T TOO BAD AT FIRST, THE SEAT JUST ROCKED A LITTLE. AFTER AWHILE (COUPLE OF WEEKS) THE SEAT ROCKED MORE SEVERELY WITH EVERY START, STOP AND TURN. IF I WERE TO HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, I AM SURE THE SEAT WOULD NOT HAVE PROTECTED ME OR HELPED ME TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF MY 2005 PILOT. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $2185.00 TO REPAIR. IT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP LONGER THAN EXPECTED TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY REPAIR PARTS. THE ACTUAL COST A WAS BIT MORE $2233.00 PLUS TAX. AFTER VIEWING SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE DRIVER'S SEAT I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD BE PROACTIVELY CHECKING AND MAKING THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. IF THE SEAT SHOULD BECOME COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE BASE THE DRIVER WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. POSSIBLY CAUSING A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE COST TO REPAIR SEEMS OUTRAGEOUSLY HIGH FOR JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL PIECES OF METAL.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP SINCE 8/24/16 AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PART.

I WAS MOVING LESS THAN FIVE MPH AS I STARTED TO MOVE AFTER STOPPING AT A 4 WAY STOP SIGN IN A PARKING LOT. A 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA MOVING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH STRUCK MY VEHICLE BROADSIDE AT THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY AND RESULTING IN DAMAGE CAUSING MY HONDA PILOT TO BE DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. DESPITE THIS LEVEL OF IMPACT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DID NOT INFLATE OR ACTIVATE IN ANY WAY.. I DELIBERATELY LOOKED FOR SAFETY EQUIPMENT WHEN SHOPPING FOR A REPLACEMENT TO OUR PREVIOUS VEHICLE. A MAJOR REASON I CHOSE THE 2005 HONDA PILOT EXL-DVD WAS THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS. HOWEVER WHEN I WAS STRUCK BROADSIDE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH ENOUGH FORCE THAT THE PILOT WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS THE SIDE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THIS FAILURE TO DEPLOY THEREBY CAUSING MY HEAD TO IMPACT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FRAME HARD ENOUGH TO CAUSE A LARGE LUMP ON THE SIDE OF MY HEAD AND RESULTING IN CONCUSSION AND OTHER INJURIES. SOME OF THE INJURIES ARE PERMANENT AND I AM STILL IN SEVERE PAIN AND BEING TREATED BY MULTIPLE DOCTORS EIGHTEEN MONTHS AFTER THE COLLISION WITH NO IMPROVEMENT NOR ANY CURRENT OUTLOOK FOR RECOVERY! I NOW HAVE A PERMANENT HEARING LOSS AS WELL AS TINNITUS PREVENTING ME FROM HAVING EVEN A FEW MINUTES OF PEACE & QUIET! WHILE THE ACCIDENT WAS THE FAULT OF THE DRIVER THAT RAN A STOP SIGN AND "T-BONED" MY CAR, HAD THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED I STRONGLY FEEL IT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED MY HEAD FROM THE SEVERE IMPACT WITH THE METAL FRAME OF THE HONDA PILOT AND I WOULD NOT HAVE SPENT THE LAST EIGHTEEN MONTHS IN PAIN SEVERE ENOUGH TO PREVENT ME FROM HAVING A NORMAL LIFE! MANY DAYS THE PAIN HAS KEPT ME IN BED FOR MOST OF THE DAY AS WELL AS KEEPING ME FROM SLEEPING AT NIGHT!

SRS- FRONT DRIVER SIDE BUMPER IMPACT SENSOR. IT WAS NOTICED AFTER HONDA HAMILTON NEW JERSEY DEALER DID AIRBAG RECALL TAKATA. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS UNRELATED TO RECALL INSTALLATION. GAVE ME A 41-11 CODE AND SENT ME HOME. HONDA NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE FAULTY IMPACT SENSORS AND COVER THE COST.

I CONTACTED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER ON 7/12/16 AND THEY DID HAVE THE PART. I NEVER HEARD FROM THEM SO I CALLED AGAIN ON 9/9/16 AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE PART AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET IT. THE RECALL SAYS "HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED" MY LOCAL HONDA DOESN'T SEEM TO THINK THIS IS URGENT.
