2007 Honda Pilot Visibility & Wipers Problems

SITTING IN CAR, START CAR UP, GET READY TO DRIVE OUT, LOUD SNAP NOISE FROM PASSENGER DOOR ON DRIVERS SIDE. WINDOW DROPPED INTO DOOR, TRIED TO RAISE WINDOW, WINDOW WOULD NOT RAISE, TOOK TO DEALER, WINDOW REGULATOR AND/OR CABLE FAILED. REPETITIVE ISSUE ACCORDING TO HONDA REPAIR BLOGS ON INTERNET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR FRAME ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TWO YEARS PRIOR TO THE RECENT FAILURE, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW ALSO FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

NO CRASH, HOWEVER I QUESTION THE STRENGTH OF THE GLASS USED IN WINDSHIELDS ON 2007 HONDA PILOTS. I HAVE REPLACED MY THIRD WINDSHIELD IN 3 YEARS. *TR

WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID FREEZES AT TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS STRAIGHT. IT ALSO HAPPENED ONE TIME BEFORE. DEALERS ARE CLEARLY AWARE OF A DESIGN DEFECT WITH HONDA PILOT, THEY SAY THERE IS NO FIX OR REPAIR AVAILABLE, AND CAN ONLY FLUSH AND THAW THE LINE. THIS IS CLEARLY AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY ISSUE, WHEN THERE IS SNOW OR ICE NOT HAVING WIPER FLUID IS A VERY VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. I WAS 2 HOURS FROM HOME ON THE KENNEDY EXPRESSWAY WITH NOWHERE TO GO AND UNABLE TO SEE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME. *TR

HEAVY STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION IN THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE PURCHASED ON 21ST JULY 2007 TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT OF VEHICLE INSTEAD TRY TO REPAIR ON 22ND JULY 2007 WHICH VIBRATES THE ARMS AND CHEST OF THE DRIVER. SHARP HIGH FREQUENCY NOISE CREATED BY SIDE WINDSHIELDS OF DRIVER AND PASSENGER CAUSES IRRITATION IN THE EARS WHICH CAUSES PSYCHOLOGICAL HEARING OF SOUND EVEN WHILE WE SLEEP SILENTLY. NO CARE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO RECTIFY THE SOUND BY THE DEALER NOR READY TO EXCHANGE THE VEHICLE. *JB
