VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
THE CONSUMER PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE WITH AN AFTERMARKET SUNROOF WHICH WAS INSTALLED BY AN AFTERMARKET SHOP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THE CONSUMER THAT THE SUN ROOF WAS A LEGITIMATE OPTION. HE HAD BEEN LIED TO AND NOW THE OWNER FEELS THIS THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE BECAUSE IT LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS AND WHEN GOING THROUGH THE CAR WASH. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND THE OWNER FEELS THAT HE IS NOT GETTING ANYWHERE EVEN AFTER TALKING TO THE MANUFACTURER. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
ALTHOUGH MY HONDA DEALER HAS REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT COVER ON MY 2003 HONDA PILOT THAT ALSO HOUSES THE CONTROLS FOR THE POWER DRIVER SAET 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 15 MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEM, I FEEL THIS DEFECT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE IF THIS COVER FAILS WHILE DRIVING THE POWER SEAT COULD START TO MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION. THE WEBSITE "HONDAPILOT.ORG." HAS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IN THIER CHAT FORUM, ALSO MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HAD TO REPLACE QUITE A FEW OF THESE, THERE WAS EVEN A BACKLOG ON ORDERING ME A NEW ONE THIS LAST TIME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
ALARM SYSTEM (HORN HONKING) GOES OFF WHEN STARTING THE HONDA PILOT (2004) EX AFTER I CLICK THE LOCK BUTTON.
