ENGINE
ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO THE ENGINE STARTED BURNING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF OIL. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CHECK THE OIL TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ENGINE WON'T SEIZE ON ME. THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA ABOUT THIS. BEING THAT I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS CAR AND IT WAS NEVER DISCLOSED TO ME AND AM NOW TASKED WITH FINDING OUT IF HONDA WILL FIX IT. JUST WANTED TO PUT THIS PROBLEM OUT THERE.

SEAT BELTS
THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT IS MUCH SHORTER THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE. UNLESS YOU ARE AN EXTREMELY SMALL PERSON IT IS DIFFICULT TO MOVE OR CLEARLY LOOK AT YOUR BLIND SPOTS WHEN DRIVING. THE SEAT BELT SITS ACROSS YOUR NECK AND BREAST WHICH WOULD CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGE IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. THIS SEAT BELT WAS MADE TOO SHORT.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
NEW PILOT ELITE JUST OVER 2 MONTHS OLD AND WITH ROUGHLY 3800 MILES ON IT HAD THE SUNROOF (NOT PANORAMIC MOONROOF) BLOW OUT ON A RURAL HIGHWAY WITH NO CARS OR OBJECTS IN SIGHT. NOTHING HIT THE CAR OR FLEW INTO VIEW PRIOR TO EXPLOSION. THIS OCCURRED 100 MILES FROM HOME AND ON A SUNDAY SO THE CAR HAD TO BE LIMPED HOME TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE DEALER CLAIMED THEY TOOK PICTURES AND COMMUNICATED WITH AMERICAN HONDA OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SUNROOF BLEW OUT BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN WEAKENED BY ROCK CHIPS OVER TIME EVEN THOUGH WE HAD NEVER SEEN A SINGLE BLEMISH IN THE SUNROOF AND WE LOOK THROUGH IT REGULARLY BECAUSE WE HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND LOOK AT THE AIRPLANES THROUGH THERE. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR AFTER I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR, THE SERVICE MANAGER SHOWED ME THE ALLEGED ROCK CHIPS IN THE PAINT ON THE ROOF.. THERE WERE WAY TOO MANY THERE FOR A 2 MONTH OLD CAR. WHEN I GOT HOME AND SHOWED MY WIFE THE 'ROCK CHIPS', I REALIZES THAT THERE WASN'T A SINGLE ROCK CHIP FORWARD OF THE SUNROOF AND IT DAWNED ON ME THAT THOSE WEREN'T ROCK CHIPS BUT GOUGES IN THE PAINT FROM SHATTER GLASS ALL OF WHICH WERE BEHIND THE SUNROOF.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA INFLATORS: AFTER HITTING A ROADSIDE OBJECT AT A COUNTY ROAD TURNING INTO A COMMUNITY, THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. THAT CAN BE ACCEPTED, BUT THE AIRBAG WAS NOT INFLATED. I BURSTED, NOT BLOWED OUT SIMPLY WITH THE BAG ITSELF WITHOUT AIR. AFTER TALKING TO HONDA, THEY REPEAT THAT THE INFLATION PROCESS COME AND GO QUICKLY. I KNOW THAT IT COME AND GO QUICKLY. BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT IT WAS NOT INFLATED AT ALL. AS A SCIENTIST AND ENGINEER WHO KNOWS HOW TO DO EXPERIMENTS, WHO KNOWS WHAT CAN BE A HUMAN BIAS, WHO KNOWS THE SPEED OF HUMAN REACTIONS, THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS THAT I WAS SURE AND AM SURE, THE BAG WAS NOT INFLATED ENOUGH. I CANNOT TELL HOW MUCH IT WAS INFLATED, MY IMPRESSION WAS THAT IT WAS INFLATED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 5-10 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE WAS VIRTUALLY STOPPED WHEN THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. THE BAG DID NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF MY BODY BESIDES MY RIGHT ARM. MY BODY DID NOT MOVE FORWARD AT ALL AS THE SPEED OF AT HITTING WAS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO MOVE MY BACK AWAY FROM THE SEAT. THE AIRBAG DID NOTHING BUT BURNING MY RIGHT ARM, CAUSING A SECOND DEGREE BURN. NOTE THAT, THE AIRBAG WAS SERVICED BECAUSE THE RECALL. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL AIRBAG WHICH WAS RECALLED, IT IS THE NEW ONE. THE PROBLEM IS EITHER CAUSED BY THE PRODUCT ITSELF OR BY INSTALLATION. IN ANY CASES, IT IS A DEFECTED PRODUCT THAT DOES NOTHING WHEN DEPLOYED BUT HARM.
