| Since the day we bought the car the door locks (especially the driver side) squeal upon locking and unlocking. upon regular maintenance we brought to the attention of service and the door locks were replaced. the problem continued. issue was mentioned again to service and we were under the impression the door locks were replaced again (however, they were not - parts were ordered, but not installed). the issue has now moved beyond squealing as the driver door occasionally fails to unlock upon turning off ignition. (the driver door is supposed to unlock automatically, but now fails). we feel this has changed from being simply annoying to a safety issue. if there were an accident the driver door may fail to unlock and the driver could possibly be trapped. however, because we are 3,000 miles past our warranty honda will not replace door locks again (even though this has been an ongoing issue since day of purchase). they have offered to pay for half however, we were told it would not fix the problem as honda has not changed the door lock mechanism and fix would most likely be temporary. we were also informed that this is a very common problem. seeing how it is common a possibly a safety issue, we believe honda should not only replace the defective parts, but should redesign the locking mechanism so the issue will be solved. *tr | |||

| 2010 honda pilot touring hit a bump in the road and the abs and vsa sensor wires were severed causing both features to be disabled. the sensor wire goes from the middle of the undercarriage to each rear wheel and is totally unprotected. also, the sensor and wire are one piece and should have a connector rather than one piece so it could be repaired. additionally, the wire should be encased in a wire conduit (the flexible wire conduit that could be purchased from a parts store.) this would add some level of protection. and a mere tree branch in the road can sever the cables. the manual suggests that the illuminated warning lights, if ignored, can cause injury or death. i was in a long tunnel and could not even pull over. after researching on line, this is a common problem with this flaw. the dealershoip claims the vehicle can still be driven without these two features functioning. i feel this is dangerous. | |||
