| In our 2007 honda pilot there is no room for the driver to extend their left leg. there's a raised platform to rest the left foot on, but i find that uncomfortable after just a short time. when we first bought the used vehicle, i had both legs extended equally but experienced a situation where i had to stop abruptly. when i stepped on the brake, i found my left foot was under the brake. this seems like a significant design flaw. our toyota camry also has a raised platform but allows sufficient room for me to extend my left leg without interfering with proper vehicle operation. | |||

| Spare tire separated from 2007 honda pilot. cause was a frayed cable that held the tire in place under the rear of the vehicle. the cable broke while the vehicle was in motion, and the tire fell off the vehicle and bounced down the road. fortunately it did not strike cars to the rear. there was no previous indication of anything wrong with the spare time mounting system. photos are available. | |||
