ON APRIL 4, 2018, I IDLED INTO NARROW DRIVEWAY AND COASTED LEFT TO PARK IN PARKING SPOT. UPON TRANSITIONING FROM GAS PEDAL TO BRAKE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD AT FULL FORCE PULVERIZING THE CEMENT PARKING BLOCK, JUMPING THE CURB AND LANDING ON TOP OF THE HEDGEROW BEYOND THE CURB. THE ENGINE WAS REVVING AND THE BRAKE WAS INEFFECTIVE IN STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT TIRES WERE IN THE HEDGES UP OFF OF THE GROUND WHILE THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN THE PARKING SPACE. I TURNED OFF THE CAR. AFTER COMPOSING MYSELF I REVERSED THE CAR BACK DOWN INTO THE PARKING LOT. I WAS ALONE IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS VEHICLE HAD AN ACCELERATION ISSUE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TRANSITION FROM THE GAS PEDAL TO THE BRAKE. THE FIRST TIME 3 PEOPLE WERE IN THE VEHICLE AND THE INCIDENT RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEREBY WE REAR-ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. POLICE WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE AND AN ACCIDENT REPORT WAS RECORDED ON JUNE 17, 2017 IN SPRINGFIELD TWP. NJ.
2007 Honda Pilot complaints
Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2007 record →
THE RELATIVELY NEW TIRE (29000 MILES DRIVEN) DID BURST ON THE SIDE. THE DISCOUNT TIRE STORE REPRESENTATIVE COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHY? I HAVE PICTURES THAT I CAN SEND YOU. IN ADDITION TO THE BILLS I INCURRED IN THE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT. TOTAL COST $140.30 IN TOTAL. THE DEALER BELIEVES IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA PILOT. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE REVVED AS IF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS BEING DEPRESSED.

DRIVING CAR AND PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT INCIDENT.
VSA LIGHT STAYS ON (THE TRIANGLE STAYS ON ) ENGINE LIGHT S STAYS ON. I WAS DRIVING AND THE VSA. LIGHT STAYS ON (THE TRIANGLE STAYS ON ) ENGINE LIGHTS STAYS ON. AND THE PROBLEM WAS THAT I COULD NOT GET THE 3 OR 4 STEAR GEAR SPEED AND THE VEHICLE DOESNT GET SPEAD
TAKATA RECALL. I BOUGHT THE CAR, USED, ON OR ABOUT JUNE 20, 2017 FULLY AWARE OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO EVERETT HONDA ON JULY 1, 2017 FOR THE RECALL. AIR BAG INFLATER REPLACED. I THEN BROUGHT THE CAR TO CAMBRIDGE HONDA ON OCTOBER 20, 2017 FOR OIL CHANGE. CAMBRIDGE HONDA INFORMS ME THAT THE INCORRECT AIRBAG INFLATER WAS INSTALLED BY EVERETT HONDA. CAMBRIDGE HONDA REPLACES DEFECTIVE RECALL AIRBAG INFLATER WITH NEW ONE.
TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V344000 AND 15V320000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTO JAROV (OSIKOVA 2, PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC 130-00, PHONE NUMBER: (420) 251-002516), BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO LACK OF PARTS. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD SEARCH TO SEE WHERE THE AIR BAGS WERE DISTRIBUTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.
EXTREME SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN I REACH DRIVING SPEEDS OF 68-70 MPH. THE ENTIRE ENGINE APPEARS TO BE SHAKING AS WELL. I'VE HEARD THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH HONDA PILOTS.
TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER LEAKED COOLANT INTO TRANSMISSION STOPPING FORWARD MOTION OF VEHICLE WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH YOUNG DAUGHTER LEFT STRANDED ON DARK HIGHWAY. A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. HAVE READ MANY INCIDENTS OF THIS. DEALER PASSES COST OF REPAIR ON TO CONSUMER HONDA JUST IGNORES PROBLEM.
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE NO WHERE NEAR ANY OTHER VEHICLES OR OVERPASSES WHEN I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT AND DEBRIS FLYING OFF THE HOOD OF MY PILOT. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND DISCOVERED THAT MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. THE RUBBER SEAL WASN'T ATTACHED TO THE REAR ANY MORE AS IF IT HAD POPPED UPWARD.
DRIVED SEAT BROKE OFF FROM FLOOR, CUSING SEAT TO FLY BACKWARD WHILE DRIVING. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE WEB THIS HAPPENS HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF TIMES 200 DRIVERS WITH THEIR CAR SEATS WHICH IS VERY CRITICAL AND THERE'S NO WAY TO FIX IT STEP TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
THE DRIVER SEAT METAL BRACKET BROKE WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY. I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN ABOUT THIS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 23 YEARS AND HAD NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS SITUATION. IT IS LOOSE AND A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. AS A CONSUMER I EXPECT THAT A CAR SEAT SHOULD LAST A LOT LONGER THAN THE CAR ITSELF ESPECIALLY THE DRIVER SEAT.
LOSS OF ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY.
07 HONDA PILOT EX, THE CLIMATE CONTROL LIGHTING, RADIO BUTTON LIGHTS AND THE DOOR AJAR ON/OFF, CRUISE CONTROL AND SUNROOF BUTTON LIGHTS HAVE ALL GONE OUT. I BOUGHT THIS BRAND SPANKING NEW AND WITHIN 2-3 YEARS THESE LIGHTS WENT OUT. SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING THAT HONDA HASN'T MASTERED BECAUSE I SEE FORUMS THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUUE. I DON'T HAVE $300-400 TO TAKE IT TO THE SERVICE DEPT TO REPLACE BULBS. MAYBE A MANUFACTURE RECALL SHOULD BE SET IN PLACE.
TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V344000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
OUR 2007 HONDA PILOT ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL WHEN APPLYING BREAKS TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR WENT THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND NEARLY CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE THIRD TIME I HAD THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO SLIP THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED. AS I HAD THE BRAKES ON THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AS IT SHOULD, BUT THE ENGINE RPM INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL IDLE RPM. THIS ESTABLISHES THIS PROBLEM AS AN ENGINE ACCELERATION ISSUE AND NOT A BRAKING PROBLEM. OF COURSE BEING AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I SEE BOTH THE HONDA PILOT AND THE ODESSEY HAVE A HISTORY OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. HONDA IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A PROBLEM AND IS REFUSING TO DEAL WITH IT. SOMEONE WILL GET KILLED WITH THIS PROBLEM IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY.
TAKATA RECALL / PROPELLANT WAFERS I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FROM HONDA IN JUNE, 2016, REGARDING MY 2007 PILOT. I PROMPTLY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, IN JUNE 2016, TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT I COULD NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND THEY WOULD CALL ME. THAT WAS 9 MONTHS AGO. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL NOTICE, THE DEFINITION OF REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME IS 60 DAYS. THE NOTICE SAYS HONDA SUGGESTS THAT I AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT. THAT IS NOT A REASONABLE SUGGESTION FOR NEARLY A YEAR AND COUNTING.
RANDOM MISFIRE ON ALL 6 CYLINDERS DESPITE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE (COIL PACK REPLACEMENT AND NEW SPARK PLUGS), VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT; I HAVE ONLY 112K MILES ON THE CAR. THESE ARE PERSISTENT ISSUES ON VEHICLES HONDA J-SERIES ENGINES, YET MY YEAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND SERVICE, PARTS, AND COSTS ASSOCIATED IS NOT COVERED BY THE DEALER WHILE OTHER YEARS ARE. THE MISFIRE ISSUES CONTINUE TO REOCCUR. I HAD A CERTIFIED MECHANIC LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND NOW THE VSA LIGHT COMES ON. I WOULD LIKE THE CAR REPAIRED BY HONDA AND MY WARRANTY AND POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXTENDED, AS WELL, IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT OTHER VEHICLES WERE REPAIRED BY HONDA.

I CALLED SOUTH HILLS HONDA, 3663 WASHINGTON RD, MCMURRAY, PA 15317 ON OCTOBER 12TH, 2016 FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG REPLACEMENT AND IT HAS BEEN OVER 2 MONTHS WITH NO CALL BACK INDICATING THIS PART IS AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT. HONDA KNEW THAT THIS PART WOULD NEED REPLACED WHEN THEY REPLACED THE SAME AIR BAG IN THE DRIVERS SIDE. WHEN I HAD DRIVERS SIDE REPLACED SHH MADE WE WAIT UNTIL I THREATENED TO CONTACT HONDA MOTOR COMPANY AS TO MY HAVING TO WAIT FOR TWO PLUS HOURS ON A SCHEDULED 15 MINUTE REPAIR. NOW HONDA AND SHH ARE REQUESTING I KEEP THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNOCCUPIED WHILE I WAIT FOR THIS REPAIR, EXCEPT THEY ARE NOT BEING RESPONSIBLE TO GET THIS DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER. *TR
WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT IN AUGUST WITH THE BOB ROHRMAN HONDA IN LAFAYETTE, IN TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. AT THAT TIME, THEY TOLD US THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE, BUT THAT THEY WOULD CALL US TO LET US KNOW WHEN IT WAS AND TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE REPAIR. FOUR MONTHS LATER, WE HAD HEARD NOTHING. MY WIFE CALLED TODAY AND DISCOVERED THAT THEY HAD THE PART BUT DID NOT CALL US. HOW COULD SUCH AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE BE DISREGARDED BY THE DEALER?

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
