Kind of odd. I have a 2012 Honda Pilot EXL and I noticed the seat base on the drivers side is cracking apart right at a union of plastic pieces. Talked to Honda and they told me it was out of warranty and would do nothing about it. $300 to fix. I had just purchased it one year prior. Hard to notice at first but I saw the crack when I was vacuuming the car. This is my first Honda and I am unimpressed with the quality of the seat. This should not happen. Seems like a bad design. I thought this only happened to me until I noticed someone else had the same issue.

The molded plastic base of the driver's seat cracked at a junction. Constant getting in and out of the high seat created a stress fracture on the base of the seat. The Honda dealership said this was not covered under the warranty, expired at 36K (car is still under warranty, time wise). You would think with Honda's reputation of building a fine product; this would not happen and especially on the seat you have to get in to drive the car!.

The two photos I posted were when it first occurred. It looks far worse now. I will be taking it to the dealership and asking them for a quote for getting it fixed. I am really disappointed that Honda has not recalled this problem for a solution.
