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…

On 06/21/2014, i was entering my vehicle when a bracket connected to the adjuster assembly (part# 81630-s3v-a30) broke. This occurred on the drivers seat. Due to this, the seat was no longer secure to the floorboard and started rocking back and forth. I searched honda part records and i was unable to find a specific part number assigned to this bracket. The vehicle was parked at the time of the break. But, while…

The driver seat now rocks backward when accelerating, after researching online and doing a visual inspection i found that a metal "l" shaped bracket that mounts the seat bottom to the seat frame has sheared off at the rivet points. This creates a hazard when driving and i fear in a crash, the seat could…

The driver's seat, simultaneously with the sound, rocked back, obviously no longer securely mounted. Upon inspection i found the front left 'l' shaped seat mounting bracket had sheared in two, in line with the two holes that the securing rivets pass through. The bracket failed and…

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…

Takata recall the passenger's side airbag of our 2016 honda pilot spontaneously deployed as my daughter was driving approximately 45 mph straight along route 195 in mansfield, ct on may 11, 2019. At the time of the deployment she had passed over a storm drain that sticks out into the narrow road. The drain causes a slight depression in the roadway, which the wheels rolled over. There was no impact. There was no…
