NHTSA Complaint #10795145 — 2016 HONDA PILOT

THE FOUR DOORS MUST RECEIVE AN USUAL AMOUNT OF FORCE FOR NORMAL CLOSURE. WE ARE ALWAYS LEAVING A DOOR AJAR WHEN WE EXIT. FROM THE INSIDE MUST PULL DOOR WITH MORE THAN USUAL FORCE. BEST TO KEEP HAND ON DOOR UNTIL CLOSED WHICH I HAVE NEVER HAD TO DO IN A NEW CAR AND I HAVE PURCHASED NUMEROUS NEW CARS OVER THE YEARS. THE DOOR FEELS LIKE DEAD WEIGHT - HAS ALMOST NO CLOSURE FORCE. IT HELPS SOME TO OPEN A WINDOW OR ANOTHER DOOR TO RELIEVE THE BACK PRESSURE BUT STILL IS NOT A NORMAL DOOR CLOSURE. I HAVE GONE TO THREE DEALERS AND NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE NO THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT. I HAD A 2009 PILOT AND THE DOORS WORKED JUST FINE. ONE HONDA DEALER SAID THE DOOR IS LIKELY TOO HEAVY FOR HARDWARE.
