2004 Honda Pilot Visibility & Wipers Problems

IN MAY 2013 I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT THE SUNROOF HAD A DEFECT. CLAIM #[XXX] WAS OPENED AND I WAS DIRECTED TO S & C IN HIAWATHA (319-393-2591) AND ON MAY 31, 2013, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL. THE SUNROOF STARTED TO LEAK WHEN IT RAINED SO I HAD IT CHECKED BY SAFELITE AUTO GLASS WHO INSPECTED THE DRAIN TUBES AND CONFIRMED THEY WERE NOT CLOGGED. I TRIED TO CONTACT S & C TO CORRECT THE ISSUE WITH THE WEBASTO SUNROOF AND THE BUSINESS WAS CLOSED. I CONTACTED WEBASTO TO SEE IF THEY COULD CONFIRM THAT THE SERVICE CENTER (S & C) HAD ACTUALLY REPLACED THE SUNROOF. WEBASTO DIRECTED ME TO THE NEXT NEAREST SERVICE CENTER, MID IOWA TRUCK & UPHOLSTERY, 1628 S. DUFF AVENUE, AMES, IA 50010 (515-232-4343) WHICH IS 2-HOURS AWAY AND WEBASTO COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICE CALL WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE YOU CAN HEAR AN INCREASE IN THE AIR COMING THROUGH THE SUNROOF. I FREQUENTLY TRANSPORT MY GRANDDAUGHTER AND I'M CONCERNED THAT THE GLASS MAY COME OUT OF ITS FRAME AS STATED IN THE RECALL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

OPSD (OCCUPANT POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM) AND REARWIPER MOTOR FAILED AT THE SAME TIME WITHOUT PREVIOUS ACCIDENT. HONDA DEALER SAYING THIS ITEMS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER HONDA CERTIFIED USED CAR CONTRACT. I NEED TO POCKET OUT ABOUT $900.00 TO REPLACED BOTH PARTS. *TR

THE WINDOW REGULATORS AND POWER DOOR LOCKS ON THE HONDA'S I OWN KEEP FAILING AND COST MORE THAN 300 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM ON THE HONDA'S. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ON ALL 4 DOORS OF MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD AND 2 DOORS ON MY 2004 HONDA PILOT. HONDA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE. PEOPLE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A SYSTEMIC ISSUE IN THE CAR, WHICH CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS YOU CAN'T PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN OR UP ONCE THIS HAPPENS. *TR

THE CONSUMER PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE WITH AN AFTERMARKET SUNROOF WHICH WAS INSTALLED BY AN AFTERMARKET SHOP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THE CONSUMER THAT THE SUN ROOF WAS A LEGITIMATE OPTION. HE HAD BEEN LIED TO AND NOW THE OWNER FEELS THIS THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE BECAUSE IT LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS AND WHEN GOING THROUGH THE CAR WASH. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND THE OWNER FEELS THAT HE IS NOT GETTING ANYWHERE EVEN AFTER TALKING TO THE MANUFACTURER. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

BRAND NEW HONDA PILOT EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THAT THE INTERIOR CAB LIGHT FOR NO APPARENT REASON WILL TURN ITSELF ON AND SHUT ITS SELF OFF AFTER APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 10 SECONDS. AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS NOT FUNCTIONING AS WELL AS FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW GETS STUCK AND WILL NOT GO DOWN. DEALER SERVICE SAYS POSSIBLE GHOST IN VEHICLE!! WILL BRING INTO SERVICE ON JAN 10, 2004. *LA

THE DEALER HAD A SUN ROOF INSTALLED AS PART OF THE PURCHASE PRICE. IT HAS HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS RANGING FROM VIBRATION NOISE AT LOW SPEED TO EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE AND ALSO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. PERHAPS HONDA SHOULD STOP PUTTING IN SUN ROOFS IF THE CAR ISN'T DESIGNED TO ACCOMADATE ONE.*AK
