    My 2003 honda pilot is an unsafe vehicle, because the head restraints on the front seats can not be adjusted. That is, they must stay down against the top of the seat and can not be adjusted to fit the back of your head.

    Plastic panel housing drivers seat adjustment controls has become detached from the seat of my 2003 honda pilot. The screw that held it in place is still there but the plastic paneling being held by the screw has broken away from the panel. This happened in the first year that we owned it. Tried to get it fixed. Told by dealership there was no problem. *tr
