TIRES
I HAVE A 2007 HONDA PILOT EX. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF INCIDENTS THAT THE BRAKE/ OEM TIRES (GOODYEAR MADE INTEGRITY) ARE NOT RESPONSIVE WELL DURING SUDDEN BRAKING ON DRY ROAD. THE TIRES WAS NOT ABLE STOP THE CAR FROM SLIPPING AND CAUSE THE ABS BRAKE TO BE ACTIVE. I CONTACT HONDA DEALER A COUPLE TIMES AND WERE TOLD THAT THE CONDITION WAS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR, NO PROBLEM FOUND. I THEN REPLACED ALL TIRES TO MICHELIN. NOW THE CAR BRAKING IS MUCH MORE RESPONSIVE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2/24/10. 2005 HONDA PILOT EX WITH 107K MILES. HAVE A BLINKING "D" LIGHT AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES. THE LIGHT STOPS BLINKING WHEN I CUT OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON, BUT THEN IT RETURNS. TODAY IS THE 1ST DAY THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED. OWNER?S MANUAL NOTES THAT THE BLINKING "D" LIGHT INDICATES A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (ECONOMY HONDA-CHATTANOOGA, TN) WHO SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND MAY JUST BE A BAD TRANSMISSION SENSOR WHICH WILL COST ME ABT $350 AND 2 HRS OF MY TIME. HOWEVER, IT COULD ALSO MEAN THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS FAILING PREMATURELY. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AS LAST MONTH I SPENT OVER $1K TO GET THE $105K MILE MAINT AND HAVE ALWAYS KEPT UP WITH REQUIRED MAINT. IF THIS PROBLEM IS SO COMMON- WHY HAS NO RECALL BEEN ISSUED? IN LOOKING AT OTHER ONLINE COMPLAINTS, THE SAME ISSUE OCCURS WITH THE 2003-2004 PILOTS. I HAVE AN APT WITH THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DRIVING HONDA PILOT 2003 WITH 84,000 MIL ONTO EXPRESSWAY ON RAMP--IT STARTED BUCKING---LIKE IT WOULD LURCH FORWARD AND THEN STOP---FINALLY WENT FORWARD. DROVE IT FOR 1 MORE WEEK AND THIS HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES. TOOK TO A VERY GOOD MECHANIC. THEY TESTED THE CAR AND NOTHING CAME UP AS WRONG. THEN YELLOW LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING--AND THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER WHEN GOING SLOWLY THROUGH A SUBDIVISION--AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN REGAIN POWER. SOMETIMES I HAD TO PULL OVER AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN IN DRIVE TO GET IT TO GO. TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT WAS A CLOGGED GAS LINE. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. COST WAS $400 FOR "CLOGGED GAS LINE" AND ANOTHER 400 FOR SOMETHING ELSE LEAKING. NO LIGHTS ON WHEN LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP. ONE DAY LATER THE YELLOW LIGHT WAS BACK ON AND IT SOMETIMES LOSES POWER WHEN GOING SLOWLY. THERE HAVE BEEN NO DEATHS OR ACCIDENTS YET---BUT IF ANYONE HAD BEEN FOLLOWING ME ONTO THE ON RAMP, THEY WOULD HAVE HIT ME. THE CAR LOOKED LIKE A BUCKING BRONCO. I WANT YOUR HONDA DEALERSHIP IN WAUKESHA WI ----WILDE HONDA TO PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION---THIS IS NOT NORMAL--AT YOUR COST. I DRIVE PEOPLE AROUND FOR A LIVING---I AM A REALTOR AND IT WAS VERY EMBARRASSING WHEN WE SWUNG INTO THE SUBDIVISION AND I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE I HAD NO POWER. IMAGINE THAT ON A HIGHWAY WITH A SEMI BEHIND ME. THIS IS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, MY 2008 HONDA PILOT ROLLS UNHINDERED DOWN HILL WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK. TO DATE, THE FOREGOING HAS ONLY OCCURRED ON SNOW COVERED SURFACES. I POSSESS VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THE VEHICLE DOING SO. MOREOVER, A REPRESENTATIVE OF AMERICAN HONDA INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME OCCURRENCE. DESPITE THE FOREGOING, THE REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. RATHER, HE INFORMED ME THAT THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE'S DIFFERENTIAL WAS THE REASON THE VEHICLE WAS ROLLING UNHINDERED WHILE IN PARK. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE A 2006 HONDA PILOT WHICH I BELIEVE HAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM AS TOYOTA'S RECENT RECALLS ABOUT STICKY ACCELERATION. I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THIS SUV AND NOTICED THE PROBLEM DURING THE VERY FIRST YEAR ITSELF. THAT TIME MY VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP ON A STOP SIGN. THE PROBLEM I FACED WAS WHEN I APPLIED BRAKE, THE CAR DIDN'T STOP AND IT CONTINUED IN THE ACCELERATION MODE AND FINALLY STOPPED AFTER CROSSING THE STOP SIGN. I HAD REPORTED THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY TO THE HONDA DEALER, FROM WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND RETURNED TO ME SAYING THAT THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM. IN FACT THEY LAUGHED AT ME THAT I DIDN'T APPLY THE BRAKE PROPERLY. THE DEALER DIDN'T DOCUMENT MY CONCERN. AFTER THAT TILL NOW (ALMOST 4 YEARS) I AM EXPERIENCING THIS KIND OF PROBLEM QUITE OFTEN. BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE TO ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO BRAKE AN ADDITIONAL 2 OR 3 FEET AHEAD OF MY PROPOSED STOP AS THE VEHICLE MAY NOT STOP WHERE I THINK IT SHOULD STOP. IF IT DOES NOT STOP, I BRAKE HARDER AND AT THAT TIME I HEAR THE ACCELERATION IS STILL ON. I ALWAYS IGNORED THIS PROBLEM MAINLY BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS QUITE RANDOMLY LIKE MAYBE A COUPLE OF TIMES EVERY MONTH. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT EXACTLY TRIGGERS THIS. RECENTLY AFTER READING ABOUT THE TOYOTA RECALL, I HAVE A FEELING THAT MY VEHICLE ALSO HAS THE SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND I NOTIFIED THE AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY. THEY ACTUALLY DIDN'T SHOW MUCH INTEREST IN ADDRESSING MY PROBLEM MAINLY BECAUSE MY VEHICLE ALREADY HAS 52K MILES AND THE WARRANTY PERIOD (60K MILES) WILL END SOON. SHOULD I BE REALLY CONCERNED? ARE THERE ANY INDEPENDENT SERVICE ENGINEERS WHO CAN TAKE A LOOK AT MY VEHICLE? *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, SEATS, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), EQUIPMENT, STRUCTURE
THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES: 1. THE PROBLEM BEGAN WITH THE KEY NOT FITTING PROPERLY AS IT ONCE DID, PERHAPS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. WHEN I TURN THE KEY OR PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION IT WON'T TURN TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT AND IT DOESN'T MATTER. THE PILOT STILL WON'T START. WHEN READING THE MANUAL, IT'S A PUSH SIGN UNDER THE IGNITION BUT THIS ISN'T ADDRESSED IN THE MANUAL. IT DOESN'T TELL YOU THE PURPOSE OF THE PUSH SIGN. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET THE KEY TO TURN AND I'VE LET OTHERS TRY ALSO. AND IT DOESN'T WORK FOR ANYONE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT BUT THE WHEELS ARE NOT AND IT WON'T TURN TO THE RIGHT IT ALL; IT'S LOCKED. THE VEHICLE WON'T GO IN NEUTRAL, SO I CAN ROLL IT OR NOTHING. 2. THERE IS KNOCKING NOISE THAT IS LOUDER WHEN YOU ACCELERATE ON THE LEFT FRONT SIDE PERHAPS IT'S COMING FROM THE DRIVE-TRAIN OR AXLE ON THAT SIDE, ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE AND MAY FALL OFF. 3. THE RADIO TURNS OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS RANDOMLY AND IT MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR A WHILE AND SUDDENLY DOES ONCE AGAIN. 4. THE LOCK AND HANDLE TO THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT BROKE OFF AND CANNOT BE OPENED. 5. THE WIRE TO CONTROL THE HANDLES FOR THE REAR SEATS TO RECLINE AND FOLD DOWN BROKE FROM WITHIN THE SEATS. I LOOKED INSIDE IT'S THE PIECE OF PLASTIC TO HOLD THE WIRE IN PLACE THAT BROKE, THERE NEEDS TO BE A BETTER REPLACEMENT PART MADE OF STEEL NOT PLASTIC. 6. THE FLOOR MAT STICKS IN BUNCHES CAUSING THE CARPET TO SOIL CAN BE HAZARDOUS I.E. TOYOTA, ONLY REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE FLOOR MAT FOR THE TRUCK ENTIRELY, VERY, VERY EXPENSIVE... 7. WHEN IT REACHES 30MPH IT SHAKES AND YOU CAN HEAR A LOUD NOISE LIKE YOU'RE DRIVING OVER SOMETHING RIDGED IT'S SCARY. 8. THE BUTTON FOR FOUR WHEEL DRIVE DOES NOT FUNCTION 9. THE CHROME ON THE DOOR HANDLES PEELED OFF TEARING THE SKIN CAUSING INJURIES TO THE HAND, MY FINGER STILL FEELS TINGLY AND NUMB. PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I EXPERIENCED A SERIOUS INCIDENT OF SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN MY 2006 HONDA PILOT EX-L ON FEBRUARY 8, 2010 AT APPROXIMATELY 11:45 A.M. EST NEAR THE REAR GARAGE ENTRANCE TO THE OFFICE TOWER. AS I WAS APPROACHING THE GARAGE ENTRANCE AT UNDER 10 MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED ROARING TO 5000 RPM. I IMMEDIATELY AND WITH MAXIMUM FORCE PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH FORTUNATELY DID STOP THE CAR FROM MOVING FORWARD. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN PARK, AND THE ENGINE NEVER DEVIATED FROM THE 5000 RPM LEVEL. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AT THE IGNITION AND WAITED MAYBE A MINUTE. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO 5000 RPM. I SHIFTED BACK TO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AGAIN AT IGNITION. I WAITED ANOTHER MINUTE, AND RESTARTED AGAIN WITH THE SAME FRIGHTENING RESULT. A KENT SECURITY OFFICER FOR THE MIAMI PARKING AUTHORITY WITNESSED (SAW AND HEARD) THE ENTIRE INCIDENT AND OFFERED ASSISTANCE. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND HE PUSHED IT BACK OUT OF THE GARAGE ENTRANCE AND TO THE CURB, OUT OF TRAFFIC, WHILE I STEERED WITH NO POWER. I WAITED MAYBE THREE TO FOUR MORE MINUTES AFTER THAT AND DECIDED TO TRY RESTARTING THE CAR ONE MORE TIME TO MOVE IT TO TRY TO MOVE IT INTO THE GARAGE. THAT TIME, IT STARTED NORMALLY. I SHIFTED TO DRIVE AND DROVE IT INTO THE GARAGE AND PARKED. WE ARE TRYING TO OBTAIN THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO OF THE ENTIRE INCIDENT. AMERICAN HONDA EXAMINED THE CAR AT BRICKELL HONDA IN MIAMI, DRIVING IT 64 TOTAL MILES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER 3 DAYS, AMERICAN HONDA IN CALIFORNIA (CHRIS SCHROEDER 800-999-1009 EXTENSION 117703) DECIDED THERE WAS NO NEED TO CONDUCT ANY FURTHER TESTING AND DECLARED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. HE EXPRESSED NO CONCERN THAT IT PRESENTED ANY DANGER IN THE FUTURE AND THAT AMERICAN HONDA WOULD DO NOTHING UNLESS I COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AT A SERVICE FACILITY. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2010 HONDA PILOT TOURING EDITION 2WD AND BOTH OF ITS SIDE MIRRORS HAVE VIBRATIONS MOST PRONOUNCE WHEN YOU REACH AT >45 MPH. BEEN ON HONDA DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THAT ISSUE AND STILL HAVE NO FIX. THEY TRIED TO APPLY FOAM INSIDE THE MECHANISM AND BALANCE MY 2 FRONT WHEELS BUT STILL WITH SAME PROBLEM. THE CAR ALSO PULLS TO THE RIGHT. *TR

I OWE A 2003 HONDA PILOT. IN 2007 I COMPLAINED TO THE HONDA SERVICE CENTER OF A GRINDING NOISE SEVERAL TIMES BUT NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. ON 2/6/2010 MY TRANSMISSION FAILED. THIS PROBLEM WAS REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE DEALER COULD NEVER FIND A PROBLEM. NOW SINCE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED IT IS MY PROBLEM. I HAVE READ OF THE SAME SITUATION HAPPENING TO MANY PEOPLE AND BELIEVE IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA TRANSMISSION. *TR

AIR BAGS
MY '03 HONDA PILOT WAS IMPACTED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BY A DRIVER BACKING UP A BIT FAST AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED. THERE WAS DAMAGED DONE TO THE FRONT FENDER TO THE EXTENT OF BUCKLING ONE OF THE FENDER CORNERS. SHORTLY AFTER THIS INCIDENT THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WILL NOT GO OFF. CALLED DEALER ABOUT THE SRS LIGHT AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS PROBABLY A DEFECT WITH THE AIRBAGS, AIRBAG SENSORS OR A MODULE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT CAN BE AS MUCH AS $1000 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED AFTER PARTS AND LABOR. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND HAVE DISCOVERED PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT ACCIDENTS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. I BELIEVE THERE IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED FREE OF CHARGE BY HONDA. *TR

2004 HONDA PILOT - INSIDE COMPARTMENT WATER LEAK. FOR 2 YEARS WE HAVE HAD WATER COMING IN THE FRONT FOOT WELLS. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND PRIVATE REPAIR SHOPS. THE DEALERSHIPS SAID IT WAS THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH WE HAVE REPLACE TWICE, AND THE PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP SEALED ALL AREAS THAT COME INTO THE CAR. I'VE CALL HONDA CORPORATION TWICE AND HAVE COMPLAINED. THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH CALLS ON THIS PROBLEM TO MAKE IT A RECALL. THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE ON LINE (HONDA.ORG) THAT HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT THE WATER IS COMING IN UNTIL THE CARPETS ARE SOAKED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, POWER TRAIN
MY HONDA PILOT HAS AN UNFIXABLE LIFE THREATENING DEFECT. IT IS STICKING GAS PEDAL. USUALLY IT STICKS AFTER THE NIGHT IN THE GARAGE AND I NEED TO IDLE UNTIL THE ENGINE IS HOT AND THEN THE PEDAL UNSTICKS. BUT SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. THIS DEFECT MAKES THE CAR ABSOLUTELY UNPREDICTABLE WHILE DRIVING AND COULD EASILY LEAD TO THE FATAL ACCIDENT. ACTUALLY, ONE TIME OUT OF FOUR WHEN IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING I WAS VERY CLOSE TO SUCH ACCIDENT. FIRST TIME I ENCOUNTERED THIS DEFECT WHEN MY NEW CAR WAS STILL ON WARRANTY NOV 4, 2004. SINCE THAN THE AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER HAS TRIED TO FIX THIS DEFECT MORE THAN FOUR TIMES. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY BUT ALL THE ATTEMPTS TO FIX IT WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. I?M VERY CONCERNED AND SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT THIS POINT AS THIS DEFECT NOT ONLY DIRECTLY JEOPARDIZES MY LIFE BUT ALSO THE LIFE OF MY 6-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO IS ALMOST ALWAYS WITH ME IN THE CAR. THE AMERICAN HONDA STATED THAT IT WAS NOT ANYMORE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT BECAUSE IT?S UNFIXABLE AND ANYTHING ELSE CONCERNING THIS DEFECT FROM NOW ON IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
OUR 2005 HONDA PILOT VEHICLE STATBILITY SYSTEM (VSA) MALFUNCTIONED. ON SIX SEPERATE OCCASIONS AND OVER THE COURSE OF 7 DAYS, STARTING JANUARY 10, 2010 THE VEHICLE WOULD BRAKE SPONTANEOUSLY AND ABRUPTLY AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THIS OCCURRED AT SPEEDS FROM 10 MPH TO 60 MPH. AFTER EACH INCIDENT, THE VSA LIGHT WOULD COME ON. THE TEMPORARY REMEDY WAS TO TURN OFF THE VSA BEFORE BEFORE DRIVING THE PILOT. THE PILOT WAS REPAIRED AT OUR HONDA DEALER ON JANUARY 27, 2010. A YAW RATE SENSOR WAS REPLACED FOR $720 INCLUDING LABOR. *CN

CVT FAILURE. PLEASE SEE CSC-10024235-7187.PDF. MORE WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT. MANY CUSTOMERS JUST "NURSED ALONG" TO GET PAST EXTENDED WARRANTY. APPROPRIATE, EFFECTIVE, AND PRESCRIBED REMEDIES ARE NOT APPLIED (IAW WITH ABOVE REFERENCE). APPEARS HONDA IS NOT PROVIDING A SAFE REMEDY FOR THIS SAFETY-RELATED PROBLEM. CAR FREQUENTLY STALLS, JUST WHEN THE DRIVER IS ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. LESS THAN ONE HOUR ON THE INTERNET (VARIOUS BLOGS) REVEALED WELL OVER 100 PAGES OF DISSATISFIED OWNERS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. ATTEMPTS TO PERSUADE HONDA TO RESOLVE THIS VEXING PROBLEM FELL ON DEAF EARS AT HONDA.*JB

MY CAR HAD A TRANSMISSION RECALL NOTICE IN 2004. I TOOK THE CAR IN JULY 2004 AND SUPPOSEDLY THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. HOWEVER, AFTER THAT TIME, MY CAR SEEMED TO DOWNSHIFT VERY ROUGHLY AND WAS JERKY WHEN PUTTING INTO GEAR. LAST YEAR MY TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP WHILE GOING DOWN A HILL. WHILE, THE CAR BEHIND ME DID NOT HIT ME, MY ABRUPT HALT CAUSED AT LEAST 3 CARS BEHIND ME TO REAR END EACH OTHER. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED BUT I AM STARTING TO FEEL SOME OF THE OLD SHIFTING ISSUES AGAIN. I'M HOPING IT DOESN'T DIE. *TR
