2004 HONDA PILOT Complaints

TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING JERKING IN AND OUT OF GEAR. CAN'T CHANGE INTO ANY OTHER GEAR BUT DRIVE.

OUR PILOT FRONT PASSENGER FLOOR GETS SOAKING WET WHEN IT RAINS! OUR CAR IS PARKED IN A DRIVEWAY AND STATIONARY. AFTER A RAINSTORM IS WHEN WE FIND THE SOAKED CARPETING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. THE WATER SEEPS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT WHERE MOLD CAN FORM. THE SEATS ARE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE AND THE AREA CAN'T BE VACUUMED EFFECTIVELY. THERE SEEMS TO BE EITHER FAULTY HARNESS PLUGS OR ANOTHER AREA IN FRONT TIRE FLAPS THAT THE COMPANY DIDN'T SEAL RESULTING IN SOAKING WET CARPETS THAT CAN SHOW SIGNS OF MOLD. I HAVE VERY BAD ALLERGIES AND THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I ALSO HAVE MY CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN AND SOMETIMES GREAT GRANDCHILDREN IN THIS CAR AND I'M AFRAID THAT ANY MOLD COULD COMPROMISE OUR HEALTH! WHY ISN'T HONDA TAKING CARE OF THIS ISSUE WHEN THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE CONCERNING THIS ISSUE? WE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS AND IT'S GETTING RIDICULOUS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF THIS SAME COMPLAINT ONLINE!
