POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING NOISES WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AND THE LOCAL DEALER ASKED ME TO STOP BY A WEEK LATER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THIS MADE ME BELIEVE THAT IT MAY NOT BE A BIG ISSUE AS THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT FIND IT ALARMING AFTER KNOWING ABOUT THE SYMPTOMS THE CAR WAS DISPLAYING. WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE NEXT DAY, THE DASHBOARD STARTED DISPLAYING ERROR MESSAGES LIKE EMISSION ERROR AND TRANSMISSION ERROR, STARTED JERKING AND SLOWED DOWN ABRUPTLY COMING ALMOST TO A HALT. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH 70 MPH AS MAX SPEED, I MANAGED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE AND ON THE SHOULDER. I WAS TRAVELING WITH FAMILY, INCLUDING CHILDREN, AND IT WAS A VERY AGONIZING EXPERIENCE. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I LEFT THE VEHICLE FIXED THE ISSUE BY REPLACING A CAP WHICH WAS CAUSING LEAK FROM THE TRANSMISSION. PART NUMBER 06233-5J4-000 WAS REPLACED.

SEATS
THE DRIVERS SEAT LOWER METAL BRACKET BROKE CAUSING THE DRIVERS SEAT TO BE UNSTABLE WHEN SITTING IN THE SUV AND WHEN ACCELERATING. I HAVE SEEN AT SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS BOTH ON THIS WEB SITE AND IN THE HONDA PILOT FORUM. I CALLED THE DEALER ABOUT ASKING FOR A REPAIR WHO REFERRED ME TO HONDA USA. I CALLED AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO HONDA AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH IS A SAFETY DEFECT BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. IF THIS VEHICLE WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT THE SEAT WOULD LIKELY BREAK LOOSE AND THROW THE DRIVER AND THE SEAT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I JUST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE .

STRUCTURE:BODY
I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES OTHERS MENTIONED OF THE HOOD FLEXING WHEN DRIVING. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS WHEN DRIVING DOWN A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND A SEMI GOES BY IN THE OTHER DIRECTION OR WHEN PASSING A SEMI ON THE INTERSTATE YOU CAN SEE THE MOVEMENT OF THE HOOD FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK AS THE AIR FLOWS UNDERNEATH. IT LOOKS LIKE THE HOOD LIFTS FROM LATCH AND THEN FLEXES, MOVES OR SHAKES AS AIR FLOWS GUESS THAT'S BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE IT. ON THE INTERSTATE I HAVE EVEN NOTICED SHAKING/MOVEMENT WHEN DRIVING IF IT'S WINDY WITHOUT PASSING A SEMI. CAR WASH DRYER ALSO CAUSES THE HOOD TO SHAKE. I HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER AND THEY TRIED ADJUSTING THE LATCH - THAT DIDN'T HELP. STOPPED BY ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY SAID TO ADJUST THE RUBBER BUMPERS ON EACH SIDE UNDER HOOD BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP EITHER. IT'S PRETTY SCARY TO SEE THIS HAPPENING. WHAT IF THE LATCH DOESN'T HOLD ONE OF THESE TIMES? THE HOOD FLYING OFF GOING 65-75MPH IS NOT A PLEASANT THOUGHT. OVER TIME WILL THE FLEXING AND MOVEMENT AND THE HOOD CAUSE PAINT TO CRACK AND DECREASE INTEGRITY OF THE HOOD?

AIR BAGS
I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR FOR THE INFLATOR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE LETTER FROM HONDA SAID THAT A PASSENGER SHOULD NOT BE SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THE PILOT. THE HONDA DEALER TOLD US NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND TO CHECK BACK IN 3-4 MONTHS. SO, I HAVE TO FIND A DIFFERENT WAY TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY FOR 3-4 MONTHS UNTIL MAYBE SOME PARTS ARE AVAILABLE?? I FIND THIS UNREASONABLE.

WHEELS
ON 9-1-15 I TOOK MY CAR TO METRO HONDA IN MONTCLAIR BECAUSE MY TIRE WAS LEAKING AIR, IN WHICH IT WAS FOUND THAT MY HONDA FACTORY RIM WAS CRACKED AT THE POINT WHERE IT IS WELDED TOGETHER. MY RIM WAS REPLACED WITH ANOTHER HONDA FACTORY RIM. THEN ON 3-1-16 I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO METRO HONDA BECAUSE ANOTHER TIRE WAS LEAKING AIR, AND AGAIN IT WAS FOUND ANOTHER RIM (DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST ONE) WAS CRACKED AT THE POINT WHERE IT IS WELDED TOGETHER. I CALLED HONDA CORPORATION ASKING FOR FURTHER INSPECTION OF MY CAR TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE RIMS. HONDA CORPORATION REFUSED TO FURTHER INSPECT MY VEHICLE. ON 6-28-16 MY TIRE WAS LEAKING AIR, AND AGAIN IT WAS FOUND THAT ANOTHER HONDA FACTORY RIM WAS CRACKED AT THE POINT WHERE IT WAS WELDED TOGETHER. 3 OUT OF MY 4 RIMS HAVE ALL CRACKED, CAUSING TIRE DAMAGE AND UNSAFE CONDITIONS FOR ME TO DRIVE.
