ONCE I SECURE MY SEATBELT, IT RIDES UP AROUND MY NECK AND UNDER MY RIGHT ARMPIT WITHIN 5 TO 10 MINUTES. I HAVE MOVED MY SEAT FORWARD AND BACK, UP AND DOWN AND CHANGED THE BACK TO RECLINE MORE AND LESS. THE RESULT IS ALWAYS THE SAME! NO ONLY IS THIS UNCOMFORTABLE AND REQUIRES CONSTANT ADJUSTING, BUT IT CANNOT BE SAFE.

PURCHASED BRAND NEW PILOT IN JUNE 2011. AROUND NOON I WAS DRIVING DOWN ON STRETCH OF ROAD AT ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN I SAW A VEHICLE WITH A TRAILER MOVING AHEAD OF ME. AS I APPROACHED TO PASS THE VEHICLE IT APPEARED TO SLOW DOWN AND STARTED TURNING LEFT AHEAD ON THE ROAD. THE TRAILER IT WAS HAULING DID NOT HAVE ANY SIGNAL OR BRAKE LIGHTS. I ATTEMPTED TO SLOWED BY APPLYING MY BRAKES BUT THE PILOT DID NOT STOP AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES OR SLOW DOWN. IT SEEM TO ACCELERATE INSTEAD OF STOPPING EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I SAW DITCHES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD SO I WAS NOT ABLE TO AVOID THE CRASH. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS HALF WAY TURNING SO I HIT THE BACK OF THE TRAILER AND IT WENT LEFT AND I WENT RIGHT ON THE ROAD.THE STOPPED PILOT STARTED SMOKING INSIDE AND EVERYONE JUMPED OUT OF THE PILOT. IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT THE SMOKE COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE SEAT BELTS AND THE FORCE OF IMPACT. EVEN THOUGH THE PILOT HAD MAJOR FRONT END DAMAGE THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT ALONG WITH THE AIR BAG SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED. EVERYONE WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT AND THE FRONT SEAT BELTS WERE DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR FROM THE IMPACT. TWO OF THE BACK SEAT PASSENGERS SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES FROM THE IMPACT BUT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. *TR
