2014 Honda Pilot

IN MAY I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE #2 CYLINDER PLUG FOULING IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 7/25/18 & 1600 MILES LATER ON 9/8/18. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT'S A OIL SEAL PROBLEM. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2009-2013 PILOTS WHY NOT ON THE 2014? SAME PROBLEM AS COMPLAINT #11122936 THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH SOMETHING

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS RIMS CRACK ALONG THE WELDS. WE ARE AT OUR THIRD THAT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED NOW. THE FIRST WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT NO COST TO US, THE SECOND WE HAD TO PAY (DEALER COST) FOR THE RIM AND WERE TOLD IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN IT WOULD NO LONGER BE THEIR PROBLEM. I DRIVE IN NORMAL CONDITIONS, TO AND FROM MY KIDS SCHOOL(ROUND TRIP ON PAVED CITY STREETS 2 MILES) AND TO WORK (AGAIN ROUND TRIP ON CITY STREETS MAX 18 MILES). THE VEHICLE HAS NOT HIT ANY CURBS OR MAJOR POT HOLES ON ANY OF THESE OCCURRENCES. TODAY WHEN LEAVING FOR THE DAY WE HAD OUR TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ON IN THE CAR. WE FILLED THE AIR AND WITHIN 3 HOURS IT WAS LIT UP AGAIN. ONCE WE ARRIVED HOME AND PARKED WE PLACED WATER ON THE WELD IN THE SAME SPOT AS THE LAST CRACK AND SURE ENOUGH IT IS LEAKING AT A CRACK IN THE WELD AGAIN. THIS IS NOT ONLY A HASSLE, BUT HAD THESE WHEELS FAILED CATASTROPHICALLY IT COULD BE FATAL FOR MY CHILD AND MY FAMILY. THE HONDA DEALER IN SANTA ROSA, CA HAS IMPLIED THAT IT IS MY DRIVING THAT HAS CAUSED THESE CRACKS. I HAVE BEEN ONLINE AND SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT FAULTY WELDS ON THIS YEAR PILOT. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED.

CHECK ENGINE AND VSA/VTM-4 LIGHTS APPEARED ON DASH. TOOK TO HONDA DEALER AND CODE RETURNED ISSUE WITH A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER #3 DUE TO A PISTON RING FAILURE. KNOWN ISSUE 2009-2013 HONDA PILOTS THAT RESULTED IN CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. HONDA REPAIRED THOSE VEHICLES AT NO COST AND EXTENDED ENGINE WARRANTY. HONDA NOT WILLING TO DO THE SAME FOR A KNOWN ISSUE IN A 2014 VERSION.

I HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERN WITH BOTH THE HONDA DEALER AND TO HONDA CORPORATE ABOUT THE INTERIOR FLAW IN MY VEHICLE. UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT, THERE IS AN OPEN SPACE/GAP THAT ALLOWS ANYTHING THAT'S ON THE REAR FLOOR TO ROLL ACROSS AND BLOCK YOUR GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO SEVERAL TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS SHOULD BE CORRECTED BUT HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AND THEY TELL ME NOT TO PUT ANYTHING ON THE FLOOR. WITH 3 KIDS SITTING IN THE BACK AND DRIVING TO PRACTICES EVERY DAY, IT'S HARD TO KEEP UP WITH ITEMS NOT BEING LEFT ON THE FLOOR. THIS IS NOT REASONABLE AND EVERYONE LEAVES ITEMS ON FLOOR. I AM EXPRESSING CONCERN BECAUSE I SHUTTLE MY 3 KIDS AROUND EVERYDAY AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT THEIR SAFETY AS WELL AS MINE. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA STATES THAT VEHICLE IS A SUBJECT FOR RECALL WHICH MEANS THAT IT HAS TAKATA AIR BAGS.!!!! MY COMPLAINT IS, UNTIL IT IS RECALLED, I CANNOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT!!!!PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND HELP!!!!!!! THIS HAPPENED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2014 BUT I WAS NOT TOLD ABOUT POSSIBLY DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS AT THATTIME EVEN THOUGH HONDA KNEW OF THE POSSIBILITY AT THAT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING FROM 40 MPH TO 60 MPH THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A HORRIBLE RUMBLING SOUND AND IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR WAS FORCED INTO A LOWER GEAR. THIS SEEMS RELATED TO THE 'ECO' MODE AND ONLY STARTED AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD 30,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED AMERICAN HONDA'S HEADQUARTERS BECAUSE THEY AGREED WITH THE COMPLAINT BUT WAS TOLD THIS IS 'NORMAL'. I CAN'T SELL THE CAR IN THIS CONDITION EVEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SO I'M STUCK UNLESS I PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION.
