SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER, SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY
MY QUESTION IS " WHY WOULD A CAR MANUFACTURE INSTALL SEAT BEATS ANCHORS IN A OVER LAPPING FASHION?" I HAVE A 2004 HONDA PILOT AND I NOTICE THAT THE SEAT BELTS ANCHORS FOR THE THIRD ROW SEAT ( MIDDLE & DRIVER SEAT PASSENGER) OVER LAP EACH OTHER, BUT IN THE SECOND ROW SEATS THEY DON'T OVER LAP. I TOOK MY PILOT TO A HONDA SERVICE CENTER AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DONE TO CREATE MORE SPACE FOR THE THIRD ROW PASSENGERS AND IT WAS NOT A FLAW DESIGN. THIS APPEARS TO BE OUT OF THE NORMAL INSTALLATION FOR SEAT BELT ANCHORS. *NM

WE WERE DRIVING OUR 2003 PILOT W/ 27000 MILES ON IT DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AND SMOKE SUDDENLY STARTED POURING OUT FROM THE RADIO. HONDA SAYS THE RADIO IS BAD (CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THEM TO GET A NEW ONE). I'M TEMPTED TO CHECK YES ON "WAS THERE A FIRE", BUT I'M NOT SURE IF THIS QUALIFIES. I CERTAINLY THOUGHT IT WAS A FIRE AT THE TIME!*AK

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WINDOW SHATTERED AS A TRAILER TRUCK DROVE SLOWLY BY OUR HONDA PILOT. NO OBJECTS WERE THROWN AGAINST THE WINDOW, THE VIBRATIONS OF THE HEAVY TRUCK GOING BY WERE ENOUGH TO SHATTER THE WINDOW. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED BY HONDA MOTORS!!!. I READ A SIMILAR COMPLAINT IN THIS SITE WHERE ANOTHER PERSON CLOSE THE DOOR ON HIS HONDA PILOT AND THE WINDOW SHATTERED. I'M FORMALLY REQUESTING AN OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION AND ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER.*AK
