| Seat Belt problems |
I have a 2014 Honda Pilot, and while driving on the road, the car started to violently shake, and the engine turned off. The inspection from dealer indicated code p0303- misfire cylinder due to fouled #3 spark plug caused by worn piston rings. The spark plug was found to be melted. Honda quoted $4000 to fix the issue, and the concern is that the 2014 model could have also been included in the 2013 and earlier models. It appears that Honda has requested dealers to send in reports if this particular issue has been identified. Even though the dealership was aware of the diagnosis, they have not offered to cover the repairs for this known issue on previous models of Pilots. Instead, they are offering to buy back our vehicle. After further research, there has been a lawsuit "Honda engine misfire" with this same issue with Honda Pilot for year 2013 and prior. I want to know if my 2014 used 2013 parts, and therefore resulted to the manufacturer defect on my vehicle. The dealer has offered to buy back the car immediately and has not addressed our concerns with the vehicle having a faulty mfg part. Honda has not responded back to the issue and the issue has not been resolved. My concern is if this issue is not fixed that the engine may further malfunction causing more damage to the car.
Center rear seat belt ended up around 3 year olds neck and everytime he moved it got tighter and tighter. The seat belt anchor is not easy to detach incase this happens. We ended up unbuckling him and turning his whole body to get it off his neck. Both 2nd and 3rd row seats use this kind of anchor.
When the 2nd row center seat belt, which stores on the ceiling, was released, it snapped up and struck the child sitting in the left 2nd row seat in a booster seat on the right upper cheek causing an abrasion and many tears. The child was sitting and still belted into the booster seat. The injury wasn't severe but could have been if it had struck the eye or caused a laceration.
Randomly, while driving the fasten seatbelt icon illuminates. All occupants of the car were restrained and no objects were placed on the seats. The right front passenger airbag "off" indicator light also activated. When the car was taken to the dealer and the problem could not be replicated. So no further investigation was done. It is undetermined if this would affect the functionality of the airbag system.
