Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am a 46 year-old disabled man living in riverview, florida. i am a college-educated business owner. on july 30th i was driving my 2005 honda pilot with my 11 year-old son as a passenger and hydroplaned on an on-ramp of i-75 near brandon, florida during a heavy rain. i did not strike anything. i simply slid sideways in a grassy area and then drove off. during the slide, the driver's door flung open with great force and for no reason. i was almost ejected. this caused great damage to the door resulting in many thousands in damage as determined by an estimate performed by regal honda of lakeland, florida. i also injured my back. as honda has refused any responsibility for damage to the door, i want to warn other consumers of the likelihood of the door of a honda pilot opening unexpectedly. *jb
