The car has engine check light and traction lights are on. Mechanic diagnosed the codes to match a recall which my VIN is excluded even thought I am facing the same exact issue. Piston misfiring and the engine can lock at any time causing an accident. Codes give to me by mechanic that said that Honda should address this issue: Dtc - P0301 and P0304. Bulletin -13-082. Dtc 83-11 and dtc - 83-12. Dealership never mentioned this to me I had to go to independent mechanic. Info: Https://static.NHTSA.gov/ODI/tsbs/2013/sb-10053786-6271.pdf summary: "the piston rings on certain cylinders may rotate and align which can lead to spark plug fouling. This can set dtcs P0301 through P0304 and cause the mil to come on" this issue came up two times. First the dealership asked me to service all car parts which I did to get the engine light fixed - cost me $1000. Then the second time the check engine light came on they told me they cleaned the pistons and I should be good. The third time I brought the car back to them all in about three weeks, they said oh... you need $3K to do this procedure which Honda recommends and then I lost it. I realized I was being played and I took it to independent mechanic which brought this to my attention. I have been trying to contact american Honda over the phone and they do not answer any calls. The number rings 3 times then plays some music and then ends the call. I also sent them an email which caused mr mario representing american Honda, to call me. I missed his call and I called him back multiple times but he is never in the office. Case reference: # 11373382

Front seats cause terrible back, shoulder, neck and hip pain that lasts for days and forces us to visit a chiropractor for treatment, repeatedly. They cause shoulders to hunch and force neck forward in an unnatural and unhealthy position. The pain is a distraction while driving.

Every time I drive the car I hear some rattle- squeaky kind of noises coming from the passenger front seat, I have taken the car 4 times already and the technician hasn't been able to fix the problem.

Whenever I drive between 35-45 mph the car shudders and vibrates. There is no vibration thru the steering wheel. I feel it thru the car seat, back, and center storage lid. Passengers have remarked "what's wrong with your car?" at 35 mph the car drives very smooth. By 35 mph it's like driving a different car. The vibration is getting more pronounced as miles accrue.

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Pilot (N/a). The contact stated that the third row seat head rest would block the contact's rear view when driving. The contact also stated that when placing a child safety seat in the third row seat, the head rest would push the child restraint forward when lowered. When the head rest was raised, the metal bar would contact the child's head. The manufacturer was contacted and advised that the design of the vehicle could not be altered. The failure and current mileage was 42.
