2006 Honda Pilot Seats Problems

“We are original owners of this 2006 Pilot ex-l and are experiencing dangerously hot conditions with the drivers seat.

We had them installed by the dealer, but six days later the cover popped off for a second time, again while parked in the garage. We again contacted the dealer and were told to bring the vehicle in. …”
