OUR ACURA MDX 2002 VIN # [XXX] AND CURRENT HONDA PILOT 2005 VIN # [XXX] WERE UNDER CONTROLLED AND INVOLVED CAR ACCIDENT IN 2017 AND 2018 BECAUSE OF TARGETING. I HAVE NOTICED AND REPORTED TO LOCAL POLICE AND INSURANCE BEHALF OF THIS CASES WHICH CAN STOP SUDDENLY OR SLOWLY. ITS DEPEND ON HOW THEY CONTROLLED AND PRE-ARRANGED ACCIDENT TO BE HAPPENED ON A POINTING TIME. SURELY, MANY LIFE AND VEHICLES ARE VERY DANGEROUS. WE DESPERATELY NEED SAFETY CARS AND PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY IN ORDER TO AVOID CRUSHING CARS AND PEOPLE FROM NOW AND FUTURE. PLEASE HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000.

STEERING COLUMN HAS BEEN MAKING A LOUD SOUND WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT... TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND THEY STATE THE STEERING COLUMN IS SEPARATING FROM THE MAIN CONTROLLING DEVICE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED VALLEY HONDA AT 630-851-5700 (LOCATED AT 4173 OGDEN AVE, AURORA, IL 60504) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 187,000.

THE SENSORS ON PULL CODE AND NOTE 41-11 NO SIGNAL FROM LF IMPACT SENSOR. DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE THIS BECAUSE MY AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT WHERE ANY OF MY AIRBAGS HAVE DEPLOYED. WHY WASN'T MY CAR INCLUDED IN A RECALL? THIS COULD POTENTIALLY KILL ME . I DRIVE MY KIDS IN THIS CAR

TRANSMISSION COOLING MECHANISM IN LOWER PART OF RADIATOR FAILED CAUSING TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE RADIATOR AND MIX WITH COOLANT. INTRODUCTION OF ANTIFREEZE INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED DAMAGE WHICH WOULD REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR, HOSES, FLUSH THE ENGINE, ETC. EVEN WITH THIS AMOUNT OF REPAIR, INCREASE FAILURE RATE OF WATER PUMP, HEATER CORE OR ANY RUBBER SEAL OR GASKET EXISTS. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH AS WELL AS A SEARCH ON THIS SITE REVEALS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WHICH HAS NEVER RESULTS IN A RECALL. MY PILOT HAD JUST UNDER 134,000 MILES AND NOW IS UNDRIVEABLE. THE REPAIRS COST MORE THAN THE VEHICLE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL SO THAT THERE MAY BE SOME RELIEF FOR OWNERS WHO HAVE BEEN LEFT STRANDED BY THIS KNOWN PROBLEM.

PILOT RUNS FINE. BUT CHECK ENGINE AND VTM4 LIGHT MAY GO AWAY AND COME BACK ANYTIME. STUPID CODES SHOW UP AND GO AWAY. REP.LOT OF SENSORS ETC STILL SAME PROBLEM. ALSO WHEN DRIVING THE D DRIVING LIGHT STARTS FLASHING.VERY ANNOYING. CALLED HONDA CORPORATION, STUPID WE DEAL CASE SEPARATELY..VERY UPSET WITH THE WAY OF DEALING THE PROBLEM. IF CUSTOMER IS COMPLAINING, MATCH TO SIMILAR OTHER PROBLEM AND HANDLE THE CASE MATCHING WAY SO CUSTOMER KNOWS IF CAN GET RECALL OR NOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE, AND THEN CRASHED INTO A BRICK WALL. THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SUFFERED INTERNAL INJURIES, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 09042928. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT*JB

WHILE THE PILOT IS IN MOTION, THE VSA BRAKING SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY APPLIES BRAKES EVEN WHEN NOT TOUCHED BY THE DRIVER. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY ON CITY STREETS AT LOW SPEED (25-30MPH); NOT WILLING TO TEST THIS ON OPEN HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED DUE TO RISK OF CRASH.

WHEN DRIVING 30-50MPH MY 2005 HONDA PILOT SHUDDER/VIBRATES AS IF I'M DRIVING ON A RUMBLE STRIP. I BOUGHT MY PILOT AT 113,000 IN 2017 AND I NOTICED THE ISSUE FIRST AT ABOUT 120,000 MILES. I NOW HAVE 134,000 MILES AND THE RESEARCH I'M DOING ON THIS ISSUE SUGGESTS THERE IS A MAJOR DEFECT WITH HONDA/ACURA TRANSMISSION AND OR TORQUE CONVERTERS. WHAT CAN I DO AT THIS POINT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY AND CRASHED INTO A STATIONARY POLICE CRUISER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED AND WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. TWO WEEKS EARLIER, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE BRAKES SEIZED MOMENTARILY AND RELEASED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 190,000.

MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE HONDA PILOT VSA RECALL (HTTPS://WWW.EDMUNDS.COM/CAR-NEWS/HONDA-RECALLS-182000-VEHICLES-FOR-FAULTY-VEHICLE-STABILITY-ASSIST-SYSTEM.HTML) BUT IT IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THEY SAID WAS A PROBLEM IN 182000 OTHER VEHICLES. THE VSA WARNING LIGHT COMES ON + STAYS ON WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. PLEASE HELP. I DID NOT RECIEVE NOTICE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED AND IT DOES NOT SHOW . ON YOUR WEB SITE EITHER

DMV HAS SENT ME A LETTER STATING MY CAR HAS A RECALLED AIRBAG THAT COULD KILL OR INJURE ME OR MY PASSENGERS

VEHICLE PARKED IN LOT. AIRBAG DEPLOYED, PARKED AND LOCKED.

CAR WILL APPLY BRAKE TO ITSELF CAUSIN A SWERVE OR A JERK AND THE VSA LIGHT WILL COME ON AND AS SSON AS U TURN OFF THE IGNITION THE LIGHT WILL TURN OFF. AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN IT WANTS TOO. ANY CAR APPKY BRAKE BY ITSELF IS UNSAFE AND WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVER HAVE NO CONTROL OF IT... THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY AND RECALLED AND FIXED. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY HONDA PILOT DOING THIS. THERE WERE QUITE A FEW

WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY IN ANY CONDITION THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY WARNING WILL MAKE A BANG NOISE, SHUDDER AND BRAKE WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE VSA LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY UNTIL AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THE VSA RECALL WAS DONE YET THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES.

STARTER/ELECTRICAL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CONTINUES TO COME ON AND STAY ON. ALSO THE STARTER DOES NOT WANT TO START AT TIMES.

2005 HONDA PILOT, WHEN CRUISING BETWEEN 35-45 MILES CAR SHUDDERS/VIBRATE NEVER FIXED SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE.

CURRENT PROBLEM IS THE VSA LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL NOT GO OFF EVEN AFTER RESETTING THE VSA BUTTON. ALSO HAS CAUSED A TRIANGLE WITH ! ON THE DASH TO LIGHT UP' CAR STARTS OFF STATIONARY, IGNITION ON AND RUNNING WITH THE TRIANGLE WITH !, AFTER DRIVING THE VSA LIGHT COMES ON. ENGINE IS RUNNING ROUGH.

A BRACKET CONNECTING THE DRIVER SEAT TO THE BASE HAS BROKEN CAUSING THE SEAT TO TO BE MOBILE. THE SEAT MOVES ON THE BASE DURING TURNS AND STOPPING OR WHEN I SHIFT MY WEIGHT WHILE DRIVING. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE SEAT WILL SEPARATE FROM THE BASE CAUSING INJURY TO ME OR OTHER OCCUPANTS.

VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST CONTROL MODULE IS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE BRAKES ARE ACTIVATING BY THEMSELVES... VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST WARNING LIGHT IS ON AND CANNOT TURN THE VSA LIGHT OFF... HONDA DOESN'T LIST THIS VIN NUMBER AS UNDER RECALL THAT IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE VEHICLES UNDER RECALL. UNIBODY REAR UNDER FRAME AND SUSPENSION MOUNT CORRODES AND RUST DO TO WATER COLLECTING UNDER VEHICLE INSIDE THE UNIBODY. THERE IS NO WEEP HOLES FOR WATER TO DRIP OUT AND THE SUSPENSION MOUNTS CORRODE AND HAVE COME OFF THE VEHICLE.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA PILOT. IT ONLY HAS 117,000 MILES ON IT. MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION ARE EXCELLENT. THERE WAS A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE REAR RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD THE SHOCKS CHANGED AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE ENTIRE FRAME IS RUSTED OUT. I DID NOT NOTICE THE RUST BUT MY MECHANIC POINTED IT OUT TO ME AND NOW I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. BEFORE I WAS ADVISED OF THE RUST DAMAGE I PUT ALL NEW BRAKES AND TIRES. IM IN SIX THOUSAND ON THE CAR AND NOW I HAVE TO SCRAP IT. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ISSUE THAT HONDA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. HOW CAN THE FRAME, CHASIS, AND SUB FRAME ROT/RUST OUT. THIS IS NOT OKAY. I SEE MANY FORUMS ONLINE DISCUSSING THAT THIS IS COMMON WITH OLDER HONDA VEHICLES.

TAKATA RECALL

THE DRIVER SEAT LEFT FRONT BRACKET BROKE. THE CHAIR IS ABLE TO LEAN BACK AND IS UNSTABLE. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND I AM NOT HE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. IT SEAMS TO OF STARTED WITH THE 2004 MODEL AND IN THE CRV. A RECALL IS NEEDED. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE OVER A $1000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE BASE. THE BRACKET PART IS NOT BEING OFFERED. THIS IS CRAZY. I JUST SAT IN MY CHAIR AND REACHED TO THE REACHED TO MY BACKSEAT FOR A BAG AND IT SNAPPED. THANK GOOD MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE NOT IN THIS THING.

DRIVING 35 MPH IN RIGHT TURN BREAKS BEING APPLIED BY THEMSELVES VERY DANGEROUS VSA LIGHT COMING ON AFTER EVENT

THE BRACKET WHICH IS USED TO MOUNT THE SEAT TO THE VEHICLE BROKE AND THE SEAT IS NOT STABLE. THE BRACKET IS LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT IN THE FRONT LEFT SIDE (CLOSEST TO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR). FROM WHAT I HEAR ON THE PILOTEERS WEB SITE, SEVERAL FOLKS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. THIS OCCURRED AS I WAS DRIVING AND CAUSED ISSUES CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE, SINCE THE SEAT WOULD WANT TO RECLINE BACKWARDS WHEN ACCELERATING. I HAD TO BRACE MYSELF BY HOLDING ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL.

VSA SYSTEM ACTIVATES BRAKES WITHOUT ANY INPUT FROM DRIVER UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CIRCUMSTANCES. VSA LIGHT CAME ON, CAR BRAKED ON ITS OWN ON HIGHWAY AT 65MPH, CAR PULLED TO THE RIGHT; SAME THING HAPPENED DURING GENTLE LEFT TURN AT 15MPH. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DEFECTIVE YAW RATE SENSOR. MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL IN 2013, #13V092000. LOCAL DEALER REPLACED BATTERY STATING THAT FAILING A LOAD TEST COULD CAUSE VSA CODE. PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN, NOW LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOUND YAW RATE SENSOR ERROR CODE.

FAULTY ELECTRICAL ISSUE. CAR WILL JUST CUT OFF AND GO DEAD ESPECIALLY WHEN IT RAINS. THIS WAS REPORTED TO HONDA AS A SAFETY CONCERN BUT NO ONE EVER FOLLOWED UP WITH THE COMPLAINT. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. CAR WILL JUST CUT OFF AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. THIS OCCURS AT ANY SPEED UNEXPECTLY WITHOUT WARNING. OCCURS WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION WITHOUT WARNING. WORSENS WITH HEAVY RAIN. THIS WAS REPORTED 10 YEARS AGO AND EVEN. AGAIN ABOUT 8 YEARS AGO WITH NO RESPONSE FROM HONDA. OCCURRED AGAIN TODAY.

DRIVING 65 MPH BRAKES APPLIED BY THEMSELVES, VEHICLE SWERVED AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL VSA LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO DEALER ON JAN. 17/18 . VSA NEEDED REPLACED. REPAIR DONE ON 3/6/18, WE DID NOT DRIVE UNTIL REPAIR DONE. THEN ON 3/31/18 IT OCCURRED AGAIN, SAME PROBLEM, BRAKES APPLIED BY THEMSELVES AND VEHICLE SWERVED AND AGAIN A STRUGGLE TO CONTROL IT. CALLED DEALER, THEY WILL HAVE TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TO DETERMINE IF THE PROBLEM IS UNDER WARRANTY? THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE FOR WHICH I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA AND THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS AN ISSUE THAT THEY NEED TO ADDRESS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WAS PROPERLY ADDRESS IN THE HONDA RECALL OF 2013.

WIFE WHILE TURNING ON INSIDE OF LOT BUMPED POLE AT KROGER PARKING LOT. BOTH FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED EXPLODING SHRAPNEL HIT MY WIFE CUTTING INTO HER ARMS. HONDA WAS SAID THEY REPLACE ALL AIR BAGS AND ACCESSORIES. THEY SENT ONE PART. DEALER WOULD NOT REPAIR BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T EVERYTHING IT NEEDED. *BF *TR

AIRBAG SRS INDICATOR IS ON

2005 HONDA PILOT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ISSUE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A "POOR CONNECTION AT THE WIRE HARNESS RUNNING UP COLUMN TO SWITCH". THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. *JS

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.

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.

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

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 275,000.

TAKATA RECALL- HORN DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. WAS TOLD THAT IT'S DUE TO THE AIRBAG. IN WHICH THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND I'VE HAD MY HORN CHECKED AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE WRONG WITH IT'S CONNECTIONS.

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?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL REPAIR REMEDY FROM MCGRATH CITY HONDA (6720 W GRAND AVE, CHICAGO, IL 60707, 773-889-3030) TO ADDRESS THE VSA, BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THE CONTACT LATER EXPERIENCED ABNORMAL INVOLUNTARY BRAKING WITH THE STEERING PULLING TO THE RIGHT FOR A BRIEF MOMENT AND THEN THE VSA WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA PILOT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND THE KEY WAS NOT NEAR THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR SHIFTED INDEPENDENTLY. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE NEIGHBOR'S YARD. THE CONTACT WAS IN THE VEHICLE CLEANING IT OUT AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION TO THE HEAD AND INJURIES TO THE NECK, BACK, AND LEFT LEG THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO UNION PARK HONDA (1704 PENNSYLVANIA AVE, WILMINGTON, DE 19806), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE BODY DAMAGES WERE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

THE REAR CRADLE WHICH HAS THE DRIVE SHAFTS AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS COME UNATTACHED FROM REAR CROSSMEMBER DUE TO THE ATTACHMENT POINTS RUSTING THROUGH LETTING CRADLE AND K MEMBER LOOSE FROM 2 OF THE 4 ATTACHMENT POINTS.THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM ON SEVERAL VEHICLES THAT I HAVE SEEN.THE CROSSMEMBER RUSTS OUT FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND LETS THE CRADLE LOOSE FROM THE VEHICLE CAUSING COMPLETE SUSPENSION FAILURE AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE.

MY 2005 HONDA PILOTS BRAKES ARE ON.I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, THE BRAKES ARE FULLY ENGAGED.I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, SAME THING. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS NOT ENGAGED. I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA PILOT. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST ACTIVATED UNNECESSARILY, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE OUT OF CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PIAZZA HONDA OF SPRINGFIELD (780 BALTIMORE PIKE, SPRINGFIELD, PA 19064) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST UNIT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

VSA SYSTEM COMES ON WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, THEY REPLACED YAW RATE SENSOR, BUT I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. UNSAFE TO DRIVE

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.

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. I NOTICED A RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE FOR 2005 HONDA PILOTS BUT WHEN ENTERING MY VIN, A RECALL IS NOT SHOWN.

UNEXPECTED FOR THE THE KEY IGNITION STOP WORKING. I NEVER HAVE ANY KIND OF PROBLEMS WITH IGNITION KEY STOP WORKING WITH MY OTHER CARS. THIS COME TO SAFETY CONCERN WHEN IF IT HAPPEN WHEN YOU ON A LONG VACATION TRIP AND ALL THE SUDDEN YOUR CAR IGNITION KEY JUST STOP WORKING AND YOU ARE FAR FROM HOME AND WORK OR DON'T KNOW ANYONE AROUND THERE TO HELP. HOW COULD ANYONE EXPECTED THAT THIS ISSUE WOULD HAPPEN TO HONDA.
