RAKATA RECALL. I TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA OF CHANTILLY FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL. THEY DID THE WORK AND GAVE ME MY CAR BACK. WHILE IT WAS IN THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY, AND I ASKED FOR THE OLD ONE BACK SO I COULD RETURN IT TO THE STORE WHERE I PURCHASED IT FOR A REFUND. WHEN I GOT BACK IN MY CAR TO LEAVE, THE OLD BATTERY WASN'T IN IT. I CHECKED AND THEY HADN'T REPLACED MY BATTERY. TURNS OUT THEY DID THE AIRBAG RECALL AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT ON SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR. THEY HAD RECORDED THAT THEY HAD PERFORMED THE RECALL AND SENT ME ON MY WAY, AND IF I HADN'T ASKED FOR MY OLD BATTERY BACK NOBODY WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT I STILL HAD THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE. THEY DIDN'T CHECK THE VIN WHEN THEY DID THE WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SHOOK. THE CHECK ENGINE AND OIL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAILING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT CYLINDER #2 MISFIRED AND OIL FROZE INTO THE HEAD OF THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

"TAKATA RECALL" AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, HONDA REPLACED THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG INFLATOR, AND THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON THEY RESET THE CODES THE LIGHT WENT OFF FOR 1 DAY. HONDA THEN DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH SHOWED THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG FAILED. HONDA SAID DUE TO AGE OF PILOT THEY COULD NOT REPLACE IT UNDER RECALL. AIRBAG LIGHT STILL IS ON WHICH DOESN'T ALLOW THE OTHER AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. HONDA TOLD US THE COST WOULD BE $638.18. DUE TO SAFETY FACTOR I FEEL HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE AIRBAG FREE OF CHARGE DUE TO THE SAFETY FACTOR OF THE RIDERS IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE ARE NOT PROTECTED.

THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. UPDATED 09/08/16*LJ

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.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON JULY 5TH, 2016. IMMEDIATELY AFTER RECEIVING THE NOTICE, I CONTACTED MY NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP (RENNER IN COLUMBUS, INDIANA). AFTER GIVING HIM THE PAPER SO HE COULD LOOK AT THE RECALL NOTICE AND SCHEDULE MY CAR FOR AN APPOINTMENT, HE TOLD ME THAT HE COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. HE TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY CARS IT AFFECTED WERE IN THE TROPICS. WHY WOULD I RECEIVE A NOTICE THEN??

THE VSA, ABS AND VTM-4 LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE COME ON AND OFF AND THE CAR WILL STOP OR DRIVE ERRATICALLY. IT ALSO MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. I'VE TAKEN IT IN AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE OCTOBER OF 2015. I'M AFRAID IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VTM LIGHT BOTH COME ON SOMETIMES STEADY SOMETIMES FLASHING. TOLD BY SEVERAL GARAGES INCLUDING HONDA DEALER THAT A MISFIRE SHOWS ON DIAGNOSTIC TEST. MOST RESENT GARAGE CHECK MECHANIC STATES PROBABLY DUE TO VALVES NEEDING REPLACED WHICH COULD BE A $3,200 FIX. NO RECALL BUT NO REAL ANSWERS. ONE GOOGLE OF PROBLEM OWNERS STATES EGR VALVE REPLACED WITH KIT AND LIGHTS WENT OFF? NOT READY TO PUT $3,200 INTO MY TRUCK AFTER ALMOST $3,000 IN THE PAST TWO YEARS.

PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT STOPPED WORKING BECAUSE THE CONNECTOR/SOCKET HAD MELTED. HAVE NOT FIXED YET BUT APPARENTLY THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RECALLED ON 2003 HONDA PILOTS, BUT NOT ON 2006

MY WIFE'S HONDA PILOT 06 HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING ALMOST CATASTROPHIC VSA SYMPTOMS WHILE DRIVING NORMAL SPEEDS. BRAKES IWILL LOCK UP WITHOUT PRESSING BRAKES AND ABS WILL COME ON AND ALL VSA LIGHTS. HAVE TOWED VEHICLE TWICE TO MECHANIC AND PROBLEM CLEARS ITSELF AND THEN WITHOUT WARNING HAPPENS AGAIN THANKFULLY NO ONES BEEN KILLED. CONTACTED HONDA THEY DENY ANY ISSUES WITH VSA SYSTEM.

THE DRIVERS-SIDE SEATBACK PANEL CONSTANTLY FALLS OFF. THERE ARE TWO HOOKS AT THE TOP AND TWO FENDER-PLUG STYLE CLIPS AT THE BOTTOM THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO SNAP THE PANEL INTO PLACE, BUT THESE PLUGS CONTINUALLY POP OUT OF THE PYLONS ON THE PANEL ITSELF AND THE PANEL IS NO LONGER SECURED TO THE SEAT. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PASSENGERS THAT FOUND THE PANEL DROPPING ONTO THEIR LAPS OR TOES WHILE DRIVING. I FINALLY GAVE UP ON THE PLUGS ENTIRELY AND OPTED FOR HEAVY-GAUGE WIRE-TIES THAT HAVE SECURED THE PANEL TO THE BACK OF THE SEAT ONCE AND FOR ALL.

WHEN DRIVING MY HONDA PILOT (2006) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COM ONE WITH INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE VSA. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS THE CAR SLOWS DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY AND COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHICH MEANS YOU CAN BE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN. I CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, AND THERE IS ONE FOR THE 2005 MODEL, NOT THE 2006. HOWEVER, IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM, WHICH MEANS THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED IN THE NEXT MODEL YEAR. I REACHED OUT TO HONDA CORPORATE AND THEY INDICATED THAT THEY HAD NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR THE 2006 MODEL AND COULD NOT HELP ME. I TOLD THEM IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE 2005 AND APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED IN THE NEXT STILL NO HELP. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING CONCERNING THE 2005 MODEL. TSA ACTION NUMBER: EA13002 MODEL YEAR 2005. SAME PROBLEM. ON MARCH 14, 2013, AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. (HONDA) SUBMITTED A DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT TO NHTSA IDENTIFYING A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) SYSTEM IN APPROXIMATELY 183,576 MODEL YEAR (MY) 2005 HONDA PILOT, ACURA RL AND MY 2005-2006 ACURA MDX VEHICLES (NHTSA RECALL NO 13V-092). THE POPULATION AND FAILURE COUNTS PROVIDED PERTAIN ONLY TO THE MY 2005 HONDA PILOTS THAT WERE THE SUBJECT OF THIS INVESTIGATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND THE VSA LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY IGNITION DON'T WORK.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN FLORIDA. I HAD A 5 YEAR OLD STRAPPED IN A BOOSTER SEAT IN THE THIRD ROW OF MY 2006 HONDA PILOT (SHE WAS SITTING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE 3RD ROW). SHE TOLD US THAT HER SEAT BELT JUST BROKE. WE PULLED OVER. APPARENTLY THE FEMALE BUCKLE END CAME OFF THE SEAT BELT STRAP. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED, THE LOOP IN THE BUCKLE THOUGH WHICH THE STRAP GOES THROUGH SEEMS VERY CORRODED (NOT RUST BUT A WHITISH POWDER). THE BUCKLE WAS LOOSE AND COULD SIMPLY SLIP OFF THE STRAP. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. I JUST LOOKED IT UP AND COULDN'T FIND ANY INFORMATION ON THIS. THE BUCKLE SEEMS TO HAVE A SERIAL NUMBER ON IT: 05322AAHMAM.

ATTENTION!!! ALL PILOT/ODDY/RIDGELINE/3.5 V6 HONDA OWNERS. CHECK YOUR PLUGS AND COILS JUST WANTED TO GET THE WORD SPREAD AROUND THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE HONDA 3.5 V6 ENGINE WHICH CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE CYLINDER HEAD AND POSSIBLY THE ENTIRE ENGINE. I DIDN'T LEARN OF THIS UNTIL RECENTLY, WHEN THE SPARK PLUG IN THE #5 CYLINDER SHOT OUT OF THE HEAD AND DESTROYED THE COIL, AND TRASHED THE THREADS. I FOUND A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO, AND ALL OF THE RESULTS AREN'T GOOD. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH WAS THROUGH HONDA CARE DENIED MY CLAIM BECAUSE THEY SAID IT WAS DAMAGE FROM THE SPARK PLUG AND THEY DON'T COVER SPARK PLUGS. WHAT A LOAD. IF THEY WANT TO PLAY THAT GAME, WHAT THE HECK WOULD THEY EVER HAVE TO COVER? SORRY SIR, THERE'S A SHORT IN YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BUT IT'S BECAUSE OF THE INSULATION IN THE WIRES AND WE DON'T COVER DAMAGE FROM THE INSULATION... GRRRRRR... SO I CALLED HONDA AND WE'LL SEE IF THEY CAN DO SOMETHING FOR US AS LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMERS - I EVEN MENTIONED THAT WE'VE GOT A HONDA CRV... SIGH... HONDA HAS A DUTY TO MANUFACTURE AND SELL SAFE VEHICLES AND TO FIX OR PAY FOR SAFETY DEFECTS IN ITS VEHICLES," "INSTEAD, HONDA HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ALLEGED DEFECT AND FORCED ITS CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKETS. LIKE YOURS TRULY, ENGINE BLOWN AND NOW I OWN MONEY ON A CAR THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE. I WANT TO START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BUT WITHOUT A SUPPORTING INCIDENT I WOULD NOT BE A

ON THE DAY THAT THE FIRE OCCURRED, I DROVE THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 8-10 MILES ROUND TRIP BETWEEN10:30-10:45 A.M., AND THEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE FOR 3 HOURS. AFTER THAT, I DROVE MY CAR APPROX. 1 MILE, AND IT WAS PARKED OUTSIDE FOR A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR. THEN, ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS AFTER I BEGAN DRIVING MY CAR BACK HOME, MY SON NOTICED SMOKE. I DIDN'T SEE THE SMOKE AND THOUGHT MY WINDOW WAS HAZY, SO I CONTINUED DRIVING. ABOUT 1/2-1/4 MILE FROM MY HOME, I SAW A LITTLE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND MY ENGINE BEGAN SPUTTERING. IT WAS DURING THIS TIME, I NOTICED THAT DIFFERENT INDICATOR LIGHTS BEGAN DISPLAYING. HOWEVER, MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE SHOWED NORMAL LEVELS. BECAUSE I WAS SO CLOSE TO HOME, I DECIDED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE INTO MY DRIVEWAY, WHERE I PARKED AND EXITED THE CAR AND NOTICED ADDITIONAL SMOKE AND FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD. I EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE OFFICE AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY INVESTIGATED THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE, WHICH WAS DETERMINED TO BE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE CAUSED BY THE ALTERNATOR, AND THE TIMING BELT, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND PORTIONS OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO PREVENT THIS. MY INSURANCE PAID FOR THE DAMAGE. THANKFULLY, I WAS CLOSE TO HOME WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND COULD PUT OUT THE FIRE ON MY OWN, OTHERWISE, THE DANGER TO MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN AND THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. *TR

I HAVE CALLED OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER IN FT. MYERS, FL TO REMEDY THE AIRBAG RECALL. I HAVE WAITED MONTHS FOR THEM TO GET BACK WITH ME. STILL NOTHING. SO I AM UNABLE TO GET MY AIRBAG FIXED. THEY SAID THE PART IS ON BACKORDER. *TR

I DID NOT RECEIVE NOTICE ABOUT RECALL. I CONTACTED DEALER AND MANUFACTURER IN SEPTEMBER 2014. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN PART ARRIVES. I HAVE CONTACTED BOTH DEALER AND MANUFACTURER SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN; SIX MONTHS TIL DATE NO ONE IS ABLE TO TELL ME WHEN THE PART WILL BE IN. I CONTINUALLY AM TOLD THAT "IT'S ON BACK ORDER!" SEEMS LIKE HONDA IS NOT MAKING MUCH OF AN EFFORT TO REPAIR THIS! *TR

THE VSA SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE APPLYING A SMALL AMOUNT OF BRAKE FORCE WITHOUT ANY INPUT BY THE DRIVER. THE SMALL AMOUNT OF BREAK FORCE SEEM TO BE CONSTANTLY PULLING THE VEHICLE TO THE LEFT. AT TIMES, THE AMOUNT OF BRAKE FORCE APPLIED EXCEEDS THE DRIVER'S INTENDED INPUT. THE VSA WARNING LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT ARE CONSTANTLY ON. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED AND IS UP TO DATE ON ALL MAINTENANCE. DEALER AND ANOTHER MECHANIC SAY IT IS THE VSA OR YAW SENSOR IN THE CENTER CONSOLE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,000-$2,0000. IT SEEMS TO BE THE VERY SAME ISSUE THAT THE RECALL ON THE 2005 MODEL ADDRESSED. *TR

ON THE 28TH OF OCTOBER, WHILE MY CAR WAS PARKED AT MY RESIDENCE A ENTERPRISE BOX TRUCK STRUCK THE DRIVER SIDE MY CAR CAUSING A SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE SIDE MIRROR, BUMPER AND THE WHEEL OF MY CAR. I CONTACTED ENTERPRISE OF THE SAID DAMAGE AND THEY APOLOGIZED AND MADE A RESERVATION FOR ME TO GO TO ONE OF THEIR LOCATION (UPPER DARBY) TO PICK UP A RENTAL CAR WHILE THEY MAKE AN ARRANGEMENT TO FIX MY CAR.THE AGENT ON THE PHONE TOLD ME THAT I WON'T BE RESPONSIBLE AND THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT SET UP A CLAIM NUMBER YET I SHOULD GIVE THEM MY CREDIT CARD AND THEY WILL SET UP A DIRECT BILLING AND MY CREDIT CARD INFO WILL BE DELETED FROM THEIR SYSTEM. MY CAR WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE HONDA SHOP AND A CLAIM NUMBER ([XXX]) WAS ESTABLISHED BY ENTERPRISE THROUGH THEIR INSURANCE (RENTAL INSURANCE SERVICES). A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE COMPANY [XXX] ([XXX]) GOT IN TOUCH WITH ME AND TOLD ME SHE WON'T AUTHORIZE THE DIRECT BILLING UNTIL SHE FINISH HER INVESTIGATION. AFTER WAITING FOR A MONTH 11/27/14 SHE CALLED TO INFORM ME THAT MY CAR DESPITE NOT HAVING A DRIVER SIDE MIRROR AND A POSSIBLE OFF ALIGNMENT AND THE SIDE DAMAGE THAT I SHOULD HAVE DROVE MY CAR LIKE THAT UNTIL THE INVESTIGATION IS OVER. I ASKS HER IF SHE IMPLIED THAT I SHOULD RISK MY LIFE DRIVING A CAR THAT WONT PASS SAFETY INSPECTION TEXT. SHE INSIST THAT THEY WONT BE PAYING FOR THE RENTAL CAR THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME EARLIER ON., AND THAT SHE IS STILL LOOKING INTO FIXING MY CAR.

I HAD JUST STARTED SLOWING DOWN TO TURN AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN THE VSA WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR BECAME HARD TO STEER. IT ALMOST CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP BUT I WAS AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TRY AND KEEP DRIVING TO AVOID GETTING HIT. I SOMEHOW MANAGED TO GET IT TURNED BUT IT DIDN'T WANT TO SPEED UP WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. I MANAGED TO GET INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED IT OFF. I LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AS WE CAUGHT OUR BREATH (TWO OF MY KIDS WERE WITH ME AND IT HAD SCARED THEM TOO) AND THEN CRANKED IT UP AGAIN. THE VSA LIGHT WAS GONE BUT WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE TO SEE WHAT IT WOULD DO, IT WOULDN'T MOVE. IT WAS LIKE THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ON. I THEN REALIZED THAT'S WHAT IT SEEMED LIKE AS I WAS DRIVING WHEN IT HAPPENED. I'D THOUGHT THE CAR WASN'T WANTING TO RUN BUT IT WAS LIKE THE BRAKES WERE ON. ANYWAY, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND I COULDN'T PUSH IT AT ALL. I TRIED PUMPING THE PEDAL TO SEE IF IT WOULD RELEASE BUT EVEN THOUGH I COULD PUT THE CAR IN EITHER PARK OR DRIVE, IT WOULDN'T MOVE. IT WAS LIKE THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ON OR I WAS HOLDING THE BRAKE, NEITHER OF WHICH WAS TRUE. I CALLED A NEARBY SHOP AND TWO TECHNICIANS CAME TO WHERE WE WERE. THEY CRANKED IT UP AND EVERYTHING SEEMED OKAY BUT IT WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SHOP WHERE THEY RAN EVERY TEST POSSIBLE AND DROVE IT THREE DIFFERENT TIMES BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THEY'RE PERPLEXED AS TO WHAT'S WRONG. I CAME HOME AND GOT ONLINE ONLY TO FIND THAT THERE ARE TONS OF POSTINGS ONLINE ABOUT THE EXACT
