We experienced a burning odor in the car cab, the air bag indicator lit and the a/c temperature rose to the outside air level. when taken to my car tech, he found that there was a fire on the right cabin wiring harness near where the harness enters the cabin. this fire burnt up all the wiring for several feet and disabled the a/c, front lights and air bag systems. if we had not caught this issue when we did, the engine could have had a fire even when not driving (i.e. in the garage at night). our repairman also remarked that the airbags could have deployed at anytime when on the road. obviously serious injury could have occurred! this was determined to be caused by a factory defect in manufacture. this problem was caused because the area of the engine where the wires passed through had rough edges resulting in wire fatigue and damage to the wire harness. *js
In our 2007 honda pilot there is no room for the driver to extend their left leg. there's a raised platform to rest the left foot on, but i find that uncomfortable after just a short time. when we first bought the used vehicle, i had both legs extended equally but experienced a situation where i had to stop abruptly. when i stepped on the brake, i found my left foot was under the brake. this seems like a significant design flaw. our toyota camry also has a raised platform but allows sufficient room for me to extend my left leg without interfering with proper vehicle operation. *tr
