NHTSA Complaint #10821771 — 2011 HONDA PILOT

BOUGHT A 2011 HONDA PILOT APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO. RIGHT OFF NOTICED IT HAD A WEIRD SMELL TO IT. COULD NOT TRACK IT DOWN. WELL ABOUT A MONTH AGO IT RAINED FOR ABOUT FIVE DAYS STRAIGHT. THAT IS WHEN WE NOTICED THE FLOORBOARDS WERE SOAKING WET. TRIED TO LOCATE THE LEAK AND FIRST FOUND THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED SO WE HAD IT REPLACED. NO LUCK THERE. PULLED UP THE CARPET IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND IT WAS FULL OF WATER AND MILDEW/MOLD. THIS WAS AN ISSUE WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND WE WERE NOT INFORMED OF IT. YOU CAN TELL FROM HOW MUCH MOLD AND MILDEW THAT THIS IS NO NEW PROBLEM. TRIED TO RESEARCH IT ONLINE AND THIS IS NO ISOLATED ISSUE. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2011 PILOT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WET SHOES CAN SLIP ON SLICK WORN OUT PEDALS, AND THEN YOU HAVE AN ACCIDENT. STILL TO DATE HAVEN'T FOUND LEAK AND HONDA JUST WANTS TO CHARGE TO "FIX" THE ISSUE AND THE NEXT TIME IT RAINS THE FLOORBOARD IS FULL OF WATER AGAIN.
