    Bought 2011 pilot in may 2010, brand new. The brochure stated the vehicle has leather interior trim. To my dismay two years later, the center seat developed a crack and was taken to the dealer, and was told the seat was vinyl. Not leather! The hand rest on all doors and center console are all torn and stretched to reveal the trim was thin strips of some sort of rubber. Now all seats are also cracked and torn after…

    After purchasing my 2011 honda pilot touring i quickly came to realize how uncomfortable the seats are. My boyfriend first noticed this on an hour trip and then that is when i put two and two together and realized that is what has been causing my hip, leg and back pain. I'm not sure what it is about the seats, but they are miserable. Our feet go numb, legs ache and hips practically kill us. After a weekend trip 5…

    Honda pilot headrest is canted too far forward. A person wearing their hair in a bun, ponytail or clip cannot fit safely in the seat with the head rest in place. This is a dangerous defect because the most tempting solution is to raise the headrest to an unsafe height or to remove it completely. *tr

    Honda pilot ex-l. Driver side and front passenger seats are extremely uncomfortable after more than a 5 minute ride. Suspect this is due to faulty lumbar-support design, placement and extreme firmness. Unsafe and unhealthy. Pain is so intense that it remains after driver and passenger are no longer in the car/seat. Could pose long-term health problem. *tr

    Drivers seat height adjustment lowers on it's own while driving. This happens every time it is driven, creating a safety issue since driver sinks to lowest position while vehicle is in motion. Occurred while driving new car off the dealers lot. Dealer was unsure how to fix. *tr
