Since buying my 2005 Honda Pilot brand new I began experiencing back pain. Severe back pain. I initially made no connection to the vehicle. Over the years when I would drive the pilot as opposed to my other vehicle the pain would return. It would get so bad I would be in chiropractic care, massage therapy, acupuncture and on meds for my sciatica and low back pain.
The last month I have been driving the vehicle for weekend trips between 2-3 hours and the back pain came back as bad as ever. In the pilot my legs go numb, sciatica flares up and searing pain occurs. On Friday a week after my last drive in the car and after many massage appointments, chiro and acupuncture I was starting to feel better. We hopped in the pilot for a 30 minute trip to Costco and boom. Pain was back. We turned around switched vehicles and no problem.
I can't believe Honda can get away with building a vehicle with seats so cheap like these. Full leather, electric, heated......it is all lipstick on a pig. These things are horrible and for the last 9 years it is now obvious that my awesome vehicle has been killing my back.
I asked my staff at work 3 of whom have a pilot and guess what....they all have the same problem.
I was going to trade in the pilot and get a new pilot but not now. How do I fix this? There are so many things wrong with these seats it is not even funny. I love everything about my pilot but now that I have deduced where my back pain is coming from I am incredibly disappointed to find out my great vehicle has been causing the problem for so long.
