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.

TAKATA RECALL. MY HONDA PILOT WAS RECALLED FOR THE TAKATA RECALL PROBABLY A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THEY CHANGED THE DRIVERS AIR BAG AND YESTERDAY I GET THE RECALL LETTER FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG! KNOWING THE DANGERS DO THE TAKATA AIRBAGS WHY DID THEY NOT REPLACE BOTH DO THEM? MY RESIDENCE IS IN SOUTH LOUISIANA, HOT AND HUMID. ALSO MY VEHICLE NOW HAS OVER 320K MILES, I'M PROBABLY VERY LUCKY OR BLESSED. ON THURSDAY JUNE 29TH THE NATIONAL NEWS STATED 'DO NOT DRIVE YOUR HONDA'!!! THIS IS THE EVENING BEFORE OUR TRIP TO MEMPHIS FOR THE 4TH OF JULY HOLIDAY. BUT I KNOW MINE WAS CHANGED ALREADY!!! RIGHT!! BUT I RETURN TO FIND MY RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG.... THERE NEEDS TO BE STRONGER GUIDELINES AND ENFORCEMENT. YES I CALLED BUT NONE ARE AVAILABLE. SAME AS WHEN I HAD TO WAIT FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE BAG.

SEATS
WHILE LEANING BACK IN MY SEAT TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF MY POCKET THE LEFT FRONT PART OF THE SEAT BROKE FREE. THE SEAT IS VERY UNSTABLE NOW WITH THE LEFT FRONT CORNER OF THE SEAT ABLE TO MOVE UPWARD BY SEVERAL INCHES. IT TURNS OUT THAT A METAL BRACKET CRACKED COMPLETELY THROUGH. THIS DOESN'T GIVE ME ANY CONFIDENCE THAT THIS SEAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SAFE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME. RESEARCH ONLINE HAS SHOWN THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL. I WENT TO HONDA TODAY AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE SUSPECT PART IS 81630-S3V-A30

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE, IT BRAKES SUDDENLY, SWERVES, AND MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE AS IF YOU JUST HIT SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. THE VSA LIGHTS BOTH COME ON IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME MY YAW SENSOR HAS FAILED SINCE THE INITIAL VSA RECALL IN 2013, WHICH I COMPLETED. . WHEN GOOGLING THIS ISSUE, IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH OTHER HONDA PILOT DRIVERS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK WITH EACH INSTANCE.
