I was hearing clunking in the back and brought it into the shop to get it checked out. I was told the rear subframe broke from being rusted/rotted out. I looked my car up to see if there were any recalls for it and found that there were recalls/buy backs for the same thing for 2003-2008 Honda pilots, 2007-2011 CR-V's and Ridgeline's in cold weather states, but not for my year of pilot even though it is the same issue wrong with the subframe. We tried contacting Honda, but after going back and forth with voice messages they told us there was nothing they can do because our year didn't have the recall. The pictures I uploaded are stills from videos taken. The videos can't be uploaded though this.

The gas tank bands are rusting out, they are about to break causing the gas tank to fall and probably catch fire. The gas tank protector and gas tank guard are also rusted out to the point of falling off and crumbling rust.

Have a known hacker. They have shown experience on remote hacking using TimeStomping and ECM modifications. I work as an Amazon Delivery driver in Kentucky. My Hackers are my Employer and the Operations Manager. The same hacking to their company vehicles are being done to employees personal vehicles. Forced Limp Mode, Power distribution, Fake sensors malfunctions, and Alarm controls are reoccurring. My entire communications network is compromised. When I called Honda (888) 528-7876) from my Boost Mobile iPhone, the automated system did not recognize my T-Mobile Android phone number that is registered on MyHonda. The person I spoke to asked my name, Vin number, and then asked if the T-Mobile phone number is the one associated with my Honda Pilot. After I mentioned the automated system did not have that number, I was to my number popped up as a caller ID. 2 different phones on 2 different networks acting as one!?!? 05/24/2023 At 11:55 am, I travel from my work to tha gas station. I put air in a tire that seems to leak air sporadically. After about 2 mins, my pilot power systems light turns on. I have already had my battery and systems tested less the 2 months prior, but travel down hwy for 15 miles. While having battery looked at, my pilot deactivated the air-bag system. The Auto Zone employee attempted to pull check engine codes. The first 2 attempts the pilot would not read anything at all. After I explained the previous instances when this had happened before with multiple other vehicles, he was finally able to read multiple (undisplayed) codes. As I travelled to the mechanic, I received a mystery call. Did not answer, but called back on android phone. It was a fund raising auto number. My pilot is hacked and using false time stamps. I was told this was discovered before, but never addressed as a form of undetectable hacking.

There must be some department that will resolve this safety issue. American Honda case # 13705515 . Largely unknown by most Honda owners is the built in DysFunction of all locks unlocking, all windows and moonroof opening by pressing unlock then again & hold. There are countless stories of damage and danger to customers vehicles like myself. No one uses this " feature " and in my case it happens in the middle of the night by itself for no reason. My 2011 Honda Pilot has been seriously rained inside of and snowed in causing interior damage as well as possible electrical damage, that is very well a safety issue. The immediate safety issue is that the vehicle is rendered open to any criminal who may hide inside to attack the owner, this is a breach of security that all vehicle owners expect their vehicle to stay locked and safe. Please help customers get Honda to reprogram all body module computers to delete this " function " at Hondas expense.

We have our truck services only at the dealership. My husband had the oil changed just two months ago. He had to take the truck back to the dealership last week because it was making a strange noise and when he checked the oil gage it was empty. When he got to the dealership the lady that helped us told us this was due to excessive oil consumption. I was able to look at the website www.vehiclehistory.com/articles/honda-pilot-excessive-oil-consumption-recalls and found out there is a documented issue with the 2009-2013 Honda pilots. I purchased this vehicle in 2013 and and did not have a problem until now. Honda needs to fix this as this fall under this recall even if the VIN number was not initially associated with this. This vehicle has only been serviced at Russ Darrow Honda in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and I have never been advised of anything until now. I really need help with this. I have been a loyal Honda owner as this is my third Honda and I am not in position to purchase a new vehicle so please help.

Left side front windshield garnish / trim piece detached at highway speed and went airborne. Impacted following vehicle’s front windshield.

We have a 2011 Pilot EXL-(bought it used) -with haze on the mirror. From all the comments out on the internet, it is obvious that It gets progressively worse and becomes a safety issue -Our vision is obstructed by the haze and could result in an accident.

Rear view mirror is hazy. This is a problem with most Honda Pilots 2011. The problem is most likely with adhesion or the chemicals tat make up the camera screen and electronics inside the mirror. It is too dangerous to drive with a hazy rear view mirror. Also, headlights get hazy on the Honda Pilot 2011. I think problem is adhesion. In other words, Honda is either did not apply adhesion properly on their lights and mirrors or they used poor material. Please issue a recall and fix these issues.

The front cylinder head valve cover developed an erosion hole adjacent to the middle spark plug (#5) tube cutout. The valve cover is available for inspection. This portion of the valve cover is directly above the oxygen sensor on the exhaust manifold. Engine oil could leak onto the hot manifold and ignite, causing an engine fire. I have not taken this cover to a Honda dealer or independent service center as I do my own maintenance work on my vehicles. This failure occurred after 153,235 miles and there were no indications, messages, or symptoms. The hole was not leaking oil as it was filled with valve cover material that had degraded and turned into powder. The powder was easily dislodged after probing with a metal pick, leaving a hole in its place. The #5 ignition coil was inspected and was visually unremarkable. The engine was not misfiring. The MIL lamp was off and there were no DTC codes present. A web search found several other complaints about this issue (with pictures of incidents of greater severity) and it is not confined to Honda vehicles.

The exterior paint is chipping in multiple places

Roof and hood of SUV PAINT PEELILNG badly. I notice many Honda Pilots with the same defect. I get my Pilot serviced at the dealer and NEVER have they offered to repaint/repair or offer suggestions. Obviously this is a Vehicle Defect from the factory. The rest of the body is in great shape.

My Honda Pilot 2011 EXL w/ AWD displayed a flashing engine light while driving, which is a sign of a serious engine problem. When it was towed to the Honda dealership, the service representative told me that a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) of P0302 was recovered, which occurs when the spark plugs misfire, and is fully described in Honda's Service Bulletin 13-082: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10152434-0001.pdf. I was told by the Honda service rep that one spark plug was fouled and covered with engine oil, and that I needed to clean the pistons and replace three piston rings along with the spark plug, a $3500+ repair. This costly problem with some Hondas was the subject of a class action lawsuit (Soto v. American Honda Motors), and is known to cause a sudden loss of power while driving, putting the driver, passengers, and other nearby vehicles at significant risk. By way of background, I began experiencing intermittent and temporary electrical system failure and increased oil consumption as early as January, 2021, which was never fully diagnosed until it progressed to a state of engine failure in September. Honda was clearly aware of this problem, yet it failed to take preemptive action to protect Honda owners and others. Rather than recalling vehicles with defective Program Control Module (PCM) software/firmware and updating it on affected vehicles (a relatively inexpensive fix), they allowed drivers to continue to operate their Hondas, effectively playing vehicular Russian Roulette, until their engines failed catastrophically, like mine did.

Paint Peeling around windows and top surfaces of 2011 Honda Pilot - White Pearl Paint Paint chips coming off around windows and landing in car when eating. Child almost ate paint chips. Took Car to Pueblo Honda several years ago and told that there was nothing they could do as car was to old. Out of warranty. They did not check or notify me that the warranty was extended for 7 years. I just found this on Google. Car had hail damage 2018 and insurance and auto body shop said paint defective. Filed online at Honda about this no one contacted me. This first appeared and started to peel about 5 years ago in 2016. Is only getting worse. 102,429 8.6.2018 mialage

PAINT IS PEELING ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND TOP OF VEHICLE (MOONROOF AREA). STATIONARY IN MY GARAGE.

PURCHASED AS USED AND THE INTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRROR LOOKS BLURRED AND CANNOT SEE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS SCRATCHED BUT IT IS INSIDE OF THE MIRROR. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS I COULD NOT SEE THE CAR COMING UP BEHIND ME AND DID NOT BRAKE. LUCKILY THEN VEERED AWAY AT THE LAST MOMENT. IF I COULD HAVE SEEN THEM, I COULD HAVE MOVED AND GOTTEN OUT OF DANGER.

I HAVE A 2011 HONDA PILOT WITH ONLY 45,243 MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SERVICE ON 10/05/20, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS ARE LEAKING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A WELL MAINTAINED AND DRIVEN VEHICLE, SO IT IS SURPRISING TO LEARN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. MAY I KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR SIMILAR ISSUES?*DT *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE APPROACHING AT A STOP LIGHT SHE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE AS THE VEHICLE JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIGHT ARM. THE OTHER VEHICLE PASSENGER SPARE TIRE ON THE JEEP DETACHED FROM THE OTHER VEHICLE AND DAMAGED THE ENGINE. A POLICE REPORT WAS MADE.

PAINT CHIPPING AND GETTING WORSE. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS A LOT WITH SAME ISSUE HONDA WHITE PAINT.

THE BOLTS/ BUSHINGS THAT ATTACH THE LOWER LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT DAMPER BRACKET TO THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND THE SPINDLE NUTS ON THE PILOT ARE LOOSE AND VEHICLE MAKES NOISE NOW AND STEERING IS OFF.

UPON PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, EVEN THOUGH BRAKE FULLY DEPRESSED. DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO STOP FORWARD MOTION, AND THE VEHICLE HIT THE FLOWER BED AND A SMALL TREE. CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO CENTER BUMPER AND FRAME UNDERNEATH. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET SHOWS NUMEROUS SIMILAR OCCURRENCES

THE TRUCK DOOR WILL UNLOCK ITSELF WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I WAS INFORMED THAT THE WAY THE ENGINE WAS BUILT, WHEN THE VEHICLE GOES INTO ECO-MODE 2 CYLINDERS SHUT OFF. IN THE 2011 MODELS, THE SAME 2 SHUT OFF EVERY TIME, THIS CAUSES THE OTHER CYLINDERS TO WEAR PREMATURELY. ENGINES ARE NOW BUILT TO RANDOMLY SHUT OFF 2 CYLINDERS. I'M VERY CURIOUS TO KNOW WHY A RECALL WAS NOT ISSUED L. SEEMS LIKE A VERY POOR BUSINESS PRACTICE ON HONDA'S PART. I GOT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I AM EXPECTING AND NEEDED A BIGGER VEHICLE BUT IT IS DEFINITELY NOT LOOKING LIKE I WOULD EVER RECOMMEND A HONDA TO ANYONE AT THIS POINT BASED ON THE FACT I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE DECEMBER 19TH AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR A MONTH. I'VE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR OVER A MONTH AND AM NOT SURE WHEN I WILL GET THE VEHICLE BACK. IT'S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. I GOT IN MY VEHICLE TO TAKE KIDS TO SCHOOL AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING. INSTEAD OF TAKING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, IN THE MEANTIME EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON. ONCE WE GOT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY HAD THE TOOLS TO FIX WHATEVER WAS POTENTIALLY WRONG, WE WERE INFORMED OF THE ISSUE WITH THE CYLINDERS. I AM LOOKING INTO THE LEMON LAWS IN GEORGIA. IT IS INSANE THAT THE WARRANTY WILL ONLY COVER AN ENGINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, ONLY LESS MILES FOR 2400. SO IN ORDER TO GET AN ENGINE THAT I FEEL SAFE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR, I HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET ANOTHER 3000. I WILL ALSO HAVE TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AS A RESULT OF THE WEAR ON THE ENGINE FROM HONDA'S FAULTY DESIGN.

IT CHATTERS ALL GEARS

The owns a 2011 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle started shaking abnormally and almost stalled. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and waited for several minutes before the vehicle regained stability functionality and the vehicle stopped shaking. The VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) warning light illuminated. The failure had occurred five times. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed that the engine block was causing oil leaking from piston rings unto the spark plugs. The spark plug was replaced and the contact was advised to drive at speeds of 40 MPH or slower. The repair was provided as a temporary fix. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

MY 2011 PILOT WAS PURCHASED NEW IN AUG 2011, HAS LESS THAN 68000 MILES AND I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CA, YET: MY BATTERY DIED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED APR 2018 (CAR WAS PARKED < 1HR AND WOULD NOT START, BUT STARTED FINE THE HOUR BEFORE). MY ENGINE CHECK TRANSMISSION SYSTEM LIGHT/WARNING CAME ON AND WE HAD TO ADD A QUART OF OIL ON JULY 18, 2019, EVEN THOUGH I HAD AN OIL CHANGE DONE IN MAY 2019 LESS THAN 500 MILES BEFORE. ON 7/24/19, MY FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED AND TODAY I HAD TO HAVE THE MOTOR REPLACED NOT JUST A FUSE. I'M CONCERNED WHY A HONDA < 9 YRS OLD IS HAVING THESE ISSUES - BURNING OIL & MOTORS DYING. IS MY CAR A LEMON? CAN YOU PLEASE HELP TO ALLOW ME TO HAVE A DEALERSHIP SERVICE DO A FULL INSPECTION/FIX ON THE OIL ISSUE AT NO COST AND POSSIBLY A REIMBURSEMENT ON THE COST OF THE NEW WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR (PART & LABOR APPROX. $411 - I CAN PROVIDE A COPY OF THE INVOICE LATER AS THE WORK IS BEING DONE TODAY)? THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE IN ENSURING THAT MY CAR DOES NOT PROGRESS AS A LEMON. I HAVE BEEN A DEDICATED HONDA OWNER SINCE 1981 AND THIS IS THE FIRST ONE I'VE OWNED THAT HAS PROBLEMS. THANK YOU.

I HAVE REPLACED COILS AND PLUGS DUE TO MISFIRE CODE PO302 TWO OR MORE TIMES. I HAVE HAD CV JOINTS REPLACED 2 OR MORE TIMES. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS AGO. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA USA ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ONLY TO BE TOLD THEIR ARE NO RECALLS EXCEPT TAKATA AIRBAG. ONLY TO FIND OUT THEIR IS A (KNOWN) PROBLEM WITH CYLINDER MISFIRES FOR MY VEHICLE. I BROUGHT THIS UP TO HONDA'S ATTENTION. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

BOUGHT 2011 PILOT IN MAY 2010, BRAND NEW. THE BROCHURE STATED THE VEHICLE HAS LEATHER INTERIOR TRIM. TO MY DISMAY TWO YEARS LATER, THE CENTER SEAT DEVELOPED A CRACK AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THE SEAT WAS VINYL. NOT LEATHER! THE HAND REST ON ALL DOORS AND CENTER CONSOLE ARE ALL TORN AND STRETCHED TO REVEAL THE TRIM WAS THIN STRIPS OF SOME SORT OF RUBBER. NOW ALL SEATS ARE ALSO CRACKED AND TORN AFTER THE VINYL HARDENED. I FEEL AS IF I WAS FLEECED BY HONDA. HAD I KNOWN THE INTERIOR WAS RUBBER AND VINYL I WOULD HAVE STUCK WITH THE FABRIC SEATS. ADDITIONALLY THE VEHICLE KEPT SHUTTING DOWN ONLY TO FIND OUT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE 'EATS' BRAKE PADS AND THE EMERGENCY DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I LEARNT THE HARD WAY FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE. I PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY WHICH HAS A VERY SLIGHT INCLINE, PLACED IT IN NEUTRAL AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AND STEPPED OUT, ONLY TO HEAR HORNS BLOWING. ON CHECKING, THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED INTO THE STREET. TO THIS DAY THE DEALER CANNOT FIGURE WHY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE DOES NOT WORK IF THE VEHICLE IS ON AN INCLINE WITH THE BACK TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE INCLINE..

MY 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HOME 6/28/19 AT MIDNIGHT. CAR DIED WHILE DRIVING. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD. RESTARTED AND DROVE SOME. SAME THING. MANY LIGHTS CAME ON. COASTED TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY. TRIED ONE MORE TIME AND MADE IT HOME. MILES ON ODO: 118,279. THE NEXT MORNING I STARTED THE CA AND TRIED TO DRIVE TO DEALERSHIP. AFTER 3 MILES, THE SAME HAPPENED TO ME. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND HAD AAA TOW IT 5 MILES TO DEALERSHIP. AT DEALERSHIP, THE SAID MANY ERROR CODES CAME UP BUT THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM). I PD $1,410.16 TO DO THIS ON JULY 2. I PICKED THE CAR UP AND DROVE LESS THAN A MILE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I WAS ABLE TO START IT AGAIN AND THEN IT HAPPENED AS I COASTED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ANALYZED THE CAR, TALKED WITH HQ HONDA REPS AND THEY RECOMMENDED CHECKING THE SPARK PLUGS. THEY DID AND ALL 6 WERE BAD. HOWEVER, THEY WERE JUST REPLACED AT 102,42 MILES ABOUT 1 YEAR EARLIER. JULY 9. I DECIDED TO REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS AND THE DEALERSHIP TO THEIR CREDIT ONLY CHARGED ME $200 (COST OF LABOR). I WAS HESITANT TO REPLACE THEM AS I WAS NOT CERTAIN THEY HAD IDENTIFIED THE TRUE PROBLEM. I WAS SHOCKED AFTER SPENDING THE $1,400 THAT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. EVER SINCE THEN I AM WONDERING IF THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM ALSO CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM OF THE CAR JUST SHUTTING DOWN IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU FIND YOURSELF ON THE HIGHWAY. SO I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS AND TO SEE IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE. THANKS.

TAKATA RECALL - FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AND FRONT DASH AIRBAGS, THE SENDOR DOES NOT WORK. THEY WILL NOT DEPLOY IF WE WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION SHUDDER IN MY 2011 PILOT EXL. WHEN ON LIGHT THROTTLE BETWEEN 25-40 MPH, THEN IT DISAPPEARS. THIS IS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING BUT NOTHING ELSE SEEMED TO HAVE AN ISSUE, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE/EMISSIONS LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY THE VT4 AND THEN SHORTLY AFTER THE VBS LIGHT. FROM WHAT I READ THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE MODEL YEAR I OWN, HOWEVER IT ALSO STATES IT CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY WHICH WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AS MUCH AS I DO, CAN BE A SAFETY CONCERN. I FEEL THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED WITH A RECALL VERSUS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, DUE TO THIS TOOK PLACE RIGHT AFTER THE 8 YEAR MARK OF IT BEING PURCHASED. LOSING ACCELERATION ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, WITH CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS DRIVING WELL AT 80 MPH OR MORE, CAN BE A SCARY THING IF THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY DUE TO AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED, TAKEN TO COURT AND IN THE END SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED VERSUS EXTENDING THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THE COST PER OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP WILL BE $4,000 WHICH IS ABOUT WHAT I HAVE LEFT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE PAID OFF. NOW I HAVE TO CONSIDER IF IT IS AN ITEM I SPEND A FORTUNE ON TO FIX THE SUV I LOVE OR TRADE FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE.

OUR VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A NEAR-HEAD ON COLLISION WITH DAMAGE PRIMARILY ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE QUARTER OF THE VEHICLE. OUR VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING AT LEAST 45 MILES PER HOUR, THE EXACT SPEED IS UNKNOWN. THE DRIVER'S SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DID. MY WIFE WAS THE DRIVER AND ONLY OCCUPANT, SHE BRIEFLY LOST CONSCIOUSNESS AFTER THE IMPACT. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS PARTIALLY CRUSHED IN AND THE TOP OF THE FRAME WAS BENT IN TOWARDS THE CABIN. WHEN SHE AWAKENED, MY WIFE SAW THE DOOR FRAME WITHIN A COUPLE OF INCHES OF HER FACE. THANKFULLY SHE DID NOT SEEM TO STRIKE HER HEAD AGAINST THE FRAME, BUT IT WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT SHE DIDN'T. WHEN THE FIRST RESPONDERS ARRIVED, THEY HAD TO CUT THE CONNECTION TO THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS AND THEY WERE SURPRISED TO SEE THAT THE COLLISION HAD NOT TRIGGERED THEM. I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE VEHICLE DOOR FRAME AND THE AIRBAGS THAT FAILED TO DEPLOY. WE WANTED TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION JUST IN CASE IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

SEAT BELT BUCKLES COME UNDONE AFTER CLICKING THEM INTO PLACE. THEN HAVE TO REPEAT CLICKING AND SOMETIMES DO NOT EVEN KNOW IT'S NOT PROPERLY CLICKED UNTIL SEATBELT COMES UNDONE.
