NHTSA Complaint #11406162 — 2020 HONDA PILOT

FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS MY PILOT FELT LIKE IT WAS BOUNCING ODD. WE'VE ONLY OWNED IT FOR 5 MONTHS AND HAVE UNDER 5,000 MILES. WHILE MONITORING THE TIRE PRESSURE FOR TWO WEEKS, I'VE NOTICED THAT BOTH DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR TIRES HAVE BEEN CONSIDERABLY LOW AND WE HAVEN'T ADDED ANY AIR SINCE. I FIGURED IT WAS BECAUSE OF HEAT/TIME OF DAY. MY LAST DRIVE AT 80 DEGREES AT SUNSET ENDED WITH BOTH DRIVER SIDE TIRES AT 33 PSI AND BOTH PASSENGER SIDE TIRES AROUND 35-37 PSI. THIS MORNING BOTH DRIVER SIDE TIRES WERE AT 33 PSI ON A COLD START AT ABOUT 60 DEGREES, ONCE I GOT ONTO THE SAME HIGHWAY AND LANES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS, I NOTICED THE MAN BEHIND ME WAVING HIS ARMS WILDLY. I CHECKED MY TIRE PRESSURE ON THE DASH AND NOTICED THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WAS SUDDENLY AT 24PSI, 20, 17, 10 AND I PULLED OVER TO CHANGE THE TIRE. WHEN I WENT TO INSPECT PRIOR TO REMOVING THE TIRE, YOU COULD AUDIBLY HEAR AIR SEEPING OUT. ON VISUAL INSPECTION THERE IS NO NAIL, NO PUNCTURE WOUND OR ANY EVIDENCE OF A CHANCE THAT A PUNCTURE HAPPENED AND THE OBJECT SHEERED OR CAME OUT ENTIRELY. THERE IS NO SIDEWALL DAMAGE, NO RIM DAMAGE OF ANY KIND. THE TIRE ITSELF IS A BRIDGESTONE DEULER H/P SPORT AS. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS IN THE ROAD
