SEATS
THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT BRACKET HAS BROKEN. AT FIRST IT STARTED ROCKING, THEN AFTER A FEW DAYS I HEARD A CRACK AND REALIZED THAT THE BRACKET ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT WAS BROKEN, WHEN I TOOK OFF THE SIDE COVERS AND COULD SEE IT. THE SEAT NOW FALLS BACKWARDS. THE CAR WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 196K MILES. GIVEN HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SAFETY RECALL. IF IT HAPPENS WITH NORMAL USAGE, THEN IT WILL HAPPEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THESE BRACKETS WERE NOT ENGINEERED WITH SAFETY IN MIND.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
COMPLAINT - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING I NOTICED MY PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILED TO OPERATE. I REPLACED THE LAMP(BULB) AND CHECKED THE FUSES BUT THIS DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, I FOUND PREVIOUS HONDA PILOT MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT WERE RECALLED FOR FAULTY HARNESS HEADLIGHT ISSUES. HOWEVER, HONDA HAS FAILED TO RECALL THE MODEL YEAR 2007 FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUES. MOST OWNERS ON FORUMS WITH 2007 PILOTS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AT OR AROUND 150,000 MILES. MY PILOT HAD THE ISSUE SINCE 153000. THE HIGH BEAMS WORK AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS NOT AFFECTED. THE PROBLEM EXISTS WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY AND IS INTERMITTENT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ONE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT HAD GONE OUT AFTER HONDA OIL CHANGE. THEN A WEEK LATER THE SECOND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT HAD GONE OUT. I HAVE NO LOW BEAM LIGHTS!! I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY LAST LOW BEAM HAD GONE OUT. IF I DIDN'T HAVE DOG LIGHTS AND MY BRIGHTS I COULD HAVE CRASHED.

SEATS
DRIVERS SEAT FELT LIKE IT WAS LOOSE AND ROCKING SLIGHTLY, THEN ABOUT 1 WEEK LATER, FELT WORSE. I SLID IT BACK TO SEE IF A BOLT CAME OFF, AND TO MY SURPRISE, THE STEEL BRACKET HOLDING SEAT TO SLIDING MECHANISM HAD COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF! I DO NOT WEIGHT MUCH AND THE CARE HAS NOT BEEN IN ACCIDENT, SO I BELIEVE THE ENGINEERING OF THE BRACKET IS INSUFFICIENT AND CAN LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN MY SEAT BROKE, SO FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS INJURED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I NOTICED MY PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILED TO OPERATE. MY HUSBAND REPLACED THE LAMP(BULB) AND CHECKED THE FUSES BUT THIS DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, I FOUND PREVIOUS HONDA PILOT MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT WERE RECALLED FOR FAULTY HARNESS HEADLIGHT ISSUES. HOWEVER, HONDA HAS FAILED TO RECALL THE MODEL YEAR 2007 FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUES. MOST OWNERS ON FORUMS WITH 2007 PILOTS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AT OR AROUND 150,000 MILES. MY PILOT HAS 154,000. THE HIGH BEAMS WORK AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS NOT AFFECTED. IN ADDITION TO THIS PROBLEM THE YELLOW REFLECTOR BULB IS NOW NOT WORKING. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE ENTIRE UNIT STOPS WORKING. THE PROBLEM EXISTS WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON APRIL 4, 2018, I IDLED INTO NARROW DRIVEWAY AND COASTED LEFT TO PARK IN PARKING SPOT. UPON TRANSITIONING FROM GAS PEDAL TO BRAKE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD AT FULL FORCE PULVERIZING THE CEMENT PARKING BLOCK, JUMPING THE CURB AND LANDING ON TOP OF THE HEDGEROW BEYOND THE CURB. THE ENGINE WAS REVVING AND THE BRAKE WAS INEFFECTIVE IN STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT TIRES WERE IN THE HEDGES UP OFF OF THE GROUND WHILE THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN THE PARKING SPACE. I TURNED OFF THE CAR. AFTER COMPOSING MYSELF I REVERSED THE CAR BACK DOWN INTO THE PARKING LOT. I WAS ALONE IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS VEHICLE HAD AN ACCELERATION ISSUE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TRANSITION FROM THE GAS PEDAL TO THE BRAKE. THE FIRST TIME 3 PEOPLE WERE IN THE VEHICLE AND THE INCIDENT RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEREBY WE REAR-ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. POLICE WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE AND AN ACCIDENT REPORT WAS RECORDED ON JUNE 17, 2017 IN SPRINGFIELD TWP. NJ.
