Rear hatch window wiper blew the fuse. The SRS light came on there was nothing wrong with my air bags or my seat sensors. A new fuse fixed the wiper but would not turn off SRS light. Dealer wanted $100 plus dollars to check system and turn off light. Independent mech. Checked system found nothing wrong and reset the light. Why is a wiper motor tied into the seat sensor and air bags?

I have honda pilot 2003. My daughter was driving when failure occurred. It was raining and rear wipers were running. All of a sudden, rear wipers stopped running and the SRS light came on. I took it to the williamson honda dealer in lincoln, ne. He diagnosed and replaced fuse #7. He is also telling to replace the rear wiper motor, that is estimated to cost about $400. It is a honda motor defect and should be replaced free of cost to me as a recall. How do I proceed with it?

While stopped at a traffic light, the rear driver's side door window shattered as a trailer truck drove slowly by our honda pilot. No objects were thrown against the window, the vibrations of the heavy truck going by were enough to shatter the window. This is a major safety defect that should be recalled by honda motors!!!. I read a similar complaint in this site where another person close the door on his honda pilot and the window shattered. I'm formally requesting an official investigation and assistance in this matter.
