TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR ONE AIRBAG. MY AUTOMOBILE IS IN FLORIDA. HONDA PILOT. RUPTURES ARE FAR MORE LIKELY IN INFLATORS IN VEHICLES THAT HAVE SPENT SIGNIFICANT PERIODS OF TIME IN AREAS OF HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY'PARTICULARLY FLORIDA. WHY WAS ONLY ONE FRONT AIRBAG RECALLED? NOW YOUR WEBSITE SHOWS NO RECALLS FOR THIS CAR. I AM WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING IT.

SUSPENSION
STRUCTURAL FAILURE OF BOTH REAR SUSPENSION SUB FRAME MOUNTS. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE ABS, AWD, TRACTION CONTROL, AND BRAKE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. I CONNECTED MY CODE READER AND IT INDICATED THAT THE LEFT AND RIGHT WHEEL SPEED SENSORS HAD AN OPEN CIRCUIT. UPON VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSORS, WIRES, AND CONNECTORS, I DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR TWO SUB FRAME MOUNTS HAD SEPARATED FROM THE CHASSIS, CAUSING THE REAR PORTION OF THE SUB FRAME ASSEMBLY TO DROP 5-6 INCHES, WHICH RESULTED IN THE REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WIRES GETTING PULLED FROM THEIR CONNECTORS. THE REAR PORTION OF THE SUB FRAM IS NOW RESTING ON THE EXHAUST PIPE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
HONDA PERFORMED A VSA RECALL BUT TODAY WHEN I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE FROM HONDA DEALERSHIP AFTER SERVICE, I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE WITH VSA WARNING LIGHT. I NEVER HAD THAT WARNING LIGHT. THE DEFECT OCCURED IN HONDA SERVICE CENTRE. THEY WERE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. AFTER GREAT PURSUATION THEY TOLD THAT THEY WILL INVESTIGATE AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. AFTER INVESTIGATION THEY INFORMED THAT 3 TPMS SENSORS WERE REQUIRED. I AGREED TO DO THE REPAIRS. AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY STILL RETURNED THE VEHICLE WITH VSA LIGHT NOW ASKING TO REPLACE ABS MODULATOR AT A COST OF $1528.03 PLUS TAXES. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA'S VSA SYSTEM AND HONDA FELL SHORT OF THE DESIRED CORRECTIVE ACTION IN THE 2013 CLASS ACTION SUITE. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA SHOULD DO A RECALL TO COMPLETED RECTIFY THE DEFECT. REALLY NEED YOUR HELP. INTERNET FORUMS ARE FLOODED WITH MANY PEOPLE FACING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I HAVE NECESSARY PAPER WORK FROM HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THE SAME CAN BE FURNISHED ON DEMAND

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
VSA MALFUNCTION CAUSES VEHICLE TO APPLY BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY AT RANDOM TIMES. WAS DRIVING DOWN A 2 LANE ROAD AND THE VSA SYSTEM APPLIED THE BRAKES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO VEER INTO THE OTHER LANE (ONCOMING TRAFFIC) - FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE BACK IN TO THE CORRECT LANE WITHOUT INCIDENT! THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME EITHER. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT HONDA HAS RECALLED SOME 2005 PILOTS FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT WHEN I ENTER MY VIN NUMBER, MINE IS NOT INCLUDED. I AM HAVING THE VERY SAME PROBLEM THAT THE RECALLED PILOTS ARE HAVING DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WONT FIX MINE?

DRIVING MY HONDA PILOT TRUCK EASTBOUND ON THE LEFT LANE AT ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR, HAD THE FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE BRAKE MADE A GROANING NOISE AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO SLOW DOWN RAPIDLY. TO A FULL STOP. THE BRAKES WENT ON AND WAS SO SCARED, BECAUSE I LOOKED UP ON MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND THERE WAS A SUV DRIVING BEHIND ME. HE DID SEE ME , AND HE HAD TO SWERVE INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE. MY HEART SANK. HE GOT OUT OF HIS SUV AND HE STARTED TO YELL AT ME. I TOLD HIM THE TRUCK CAME TO A STOP IT MALFUNCTIONED AND THEY WERE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD . AS HE WALKED AWAY BACK INTO HIS SUV AND DROVE OFF I SAT THERE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK LOOKED AT MY MANUAL AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE INDICATORS ON MY DASHBOARD WE'RE GONE. I CALLED UP MY HUSBAND TO LET HIM KNOW. BEFORE I SHUT THE CAR OFF,, TWO INDICATORS CAME ON VSA AND A WARNING SIGN. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL IT IN 2013 I DID GET THAT FIXED AS I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO IT HAPPENED AGAIN I WAS ON THE BELT PARKWAY IN NEW YORK AND THE PILOT MADE A NOISE AND IT STOPPED ON ITS OWN THERE WERE MORE THAN TWO LIGHTS FLASHING ON MY DASHBOARD THAT DAY. AND I WAS DRIVING SLOWER ON THE PARKWAY BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC. SO, THE IMPACT WASN'T SO SCARY . TWO LIVES WERE SAVED THAT DAY. I CALLED HONDA RECALL CASE #[XXX]. SINCE MY HUSBAND HAD TO BRING HIS CAR IN TO GET FIXED I ALSO TOOK MY HONDA. THE COMPANY'S NAME IS HARDMANS AUTO ,THEY ALSO ORDER PARTS FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ALSO LOCATED IN THE SAME TOWN. DID COOL HONDA AUTO SERVICE BUT THE MANAGER NAMED [XXX] HASN'T CALLED ME BACK YET. WILL CALL AGAIN TODAY TO GET MY PILOT CHECKED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS SET TO LOW BEAM, THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT COME ON. THE HIGH BEAMS AND COURTESY LIGHTS WORK. WHEN SWITCHING THE LEVER QUICKLY BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW, THEY DO COME ON, BUT AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES, THE LOW BEAM QUIT WORKING AND I HAVE TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS.

VSA WARNING LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. CAR WILL APPLY BRAKES WITHOUT DRIVER HITTING THE BRAKE PEDAL. CAR WILL SWERVE TO ONE SIDE WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED BY VSA MECHANISM. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. VERY DANGEROUS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BUT HONDA DOES NOT SHOW ONE FOR THIS VIN, BUT OTHER PILOTS IN THIS YEAR HAVE RECALLS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS.
