NHTSA Complaint #10980554 — 2003 HONDA PILOT

NOTICE WHEN WHILE STOPPED, MOVING THE DRIVER'S ELECTRIC SEAT EITHER UP AND THEN FORWARD, IT BEGAN TO ROCK. THE NEXT TIME, WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY, A ROCKING MOVEMENT WAS FELT. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRAME WAS DAMAGED, WITH ONE BOLT OFF. TWO OPTIONS 1) REPLACE FOR $2K OR 2) GET FRAME WELDED, NO GUARANTEE WILL FIX PROBLEM. POWER OPTIONS MAY NOT WORK. A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT IS NOT CURRENTLY ON HONDA OF AMERICA'S RECALL LIST. CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA TO REPORT THIS; NO RECALL AT THIS TIME. I ASKED IF THIS IS UNDER INVESTIGATION, AND THEY SAID NO. I ASKED WILL THERE HAVE TO BE A DEATH BEFORE ACTION OR RECALL? NO ANSWER. I AM CONTACTING THIS AGENCY AND MY STATE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, BECAUSE I FEAR THAT THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA OF AMERICA.
