CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012-2013 Honda Pilot have a small complaint trend of owners reporting the engine hesitates sometimes when accelerating.
While it's not a widespread trend with the Pilot, it's a little concerning because of the possibly safety ramifications. While it's certainly something to keep in mind, most Pilot owners are not experiencing this problem.
The clip that hold the back of my 3rd row seat on broke. When they tore my seat apart they found that the hole that had been cut in the leather at the factory for the clip to go through and attach the back of the chair to the frame had been cut in the wrong area. With the hole being cut in the wrong area it was putting extra pressure on the clip that caused it to break. The service tech showed me the chair while it was still torn apart and you could tell where the leather was in the way of the clip because there was a permanent impression in the leather where the clip was supposed to clip into the back of the chair.
