Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda pilot. The contact stated that there was a burning odor present inside the vehicle. The contact noticed smoke and flames coming from the driver side seat adjustment control. A police officer using a fire extinguisher extinguished the flames. A police report was filed. The contact sustained a burn on the right hand that did not require medical attention. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 148,300.
My drivers seat back broke on the right side when I entered my vehicle. I heard a pop when I sat down in the pilot. My seat back now has a lean. The metal slide adjuster on the right side broke in half. I got an estimate from the honda dealer for 1600 to fix it. This happened while my car was not moving. I feel like that part is defective. I never have had a car seat do this either.
