DRIVING ON OVER RAILROAD TRACKS AND HEARD LOUD CLUNK . CONTROL WAS A MAJOR ISSUE AFTER. WHEN I STOPPED THE VEHICLE TO INSPECT , I SAW THE FOLLOWING. BOTH REAR WHEELS TILTED INWARD AT THE TOP. I INSPECTED UNDERNEATH TO FIND THE REAR SUB-FRAME ANCHORS HAD PULLED THROUGH THE UNI-BODY. CALLED THE MANUFACTURE AND NO ASSISTANCE DUE TO MILEAGE AND AGE AND LIVING IN A SALT BELT STATE. OTHER MANUFACTURERS ARE RECALLING VEHICLES FOR FRAME RUST ISSUES . THIS IS BASICALLY THE FRAME OF THIS VEHICLE.....AND THE OVERALL CONDITION OTHERWISE IS GREAT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN!

SEATS
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE 2004 PILOT. VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL KEPT AND MAINTAINED WITH HONDA DEALER. WIFE WAS DRIVING WHEN DRIVERS SEAT STARTED FEELING HOT LIKE A BURN ON HER BACK. STARTED SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING. SHE PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT OF VEHICLE.THE BACK PART OF THE SEAT WAS SMOKING AND SMOLDERING SO IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE SEAT HEATER. GOT THE FIRE OUT AND BACK PART OF LEATHER HAS A BROWN SCORCH MARK AND LEATHER CRACKED. THE SMELL LASTED FOR HOURS. LEFT THE WINDOWS OPENED ALL NIGHT AND LEFT VEHICLE PARKED OUTSIDE OF THE GARAGE FOR FEAR OF FIRE AGAIN. HONDA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS. I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET TO FIND THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THIS IS DANGEROUS TO THINK WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE SO QUICKLY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHT PLASTIC COVER HAS BECOME VERY CLOUDY AND PREVENTS THE HEADLIGHTS FROM PROPERLY ILLUMINATING THE ROAD AT NIGHT. THIS CAUSES IMPROPERLY LIGHTING WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS IS A PROBLEM ON ALL CARS WITH THIS TYPE OF COVER OVER THE HEADLIGHTS. THE PROBLEM IS ACKNOWLEDGED BY ALL MANUFACTURES AS THEY OFFER CLEANING OF THE LENSES FOR A COST. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER AT NO COST TO THE OWNER AS THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM.

THE DRIVERS SEAT HAS BEEN SO HOT THAT IT FEELS LIKE IT CAN BURN YOUR SKIN. TODAY ON THE WAY TO WORK MY DAUGHTER SAID SHE SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. SHE LOOKED DOWN ON HER SEAT AND IT WAS SMOKING AND BURNED THE LEATHER. THE SEAT WAS ACTUALLY CATCHING ON FIRE. I HAVE LOOKED THIS UP AND SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS TO YOU. I DON'T SEE WHAT YOU ARE REPORTING NO COMPLAINTS OR RECALLS. WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED.
