2022 Honda Pilot complaints

For the past year and a half, I have had issues with the forward collision warning and emergency braking systems. I get false warnings to "Brake" when there are no other cars around. I have also had the car brake for no reason - one time, we were on the interstate, the emergency braking system engaged and it pulled us to the side of the road. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership numerous times and they cannot get it to reproduce. It happens sporadically and there isn't anything I can do to reproduce the issue either. I fear this will happen when a car is too close, or, living in Wisconsin, that the brakes will engage when driving on snow and/or ice. It has happened at 10 mph up to 75 mph.

Driving on the highway and my dash and infotainment screen went black for about 15 seconds.

Since we purchased our 2022 Honda Pilot three months ago, two VERY important things have happened to me and I am still wondering WHY the Honda engineers did not catch these things. Or if they did, why did they allow it to make it to production??? I cannot say if the NHTSA would consider this a malfunction but it should definitely be considered a dangerous function especially to an unaware driver. Our vehicle is available for inspection if you want me to show you what I mean. I am taking this vehicle to the dealer this Saturday to be inspected for these reasons. Problem #1: If you need to do a 3-point turn in the middle of the road above a certain speed and you need to do it fast, forget about it. There seems to be about a 3 to 4 second lag between the time you make the first turn, push the reverse button, and hit the gas to make the Pilot go in to reverse. The same for when you switch to drive to go forward. When there is oncoming traffic, this is some scary shit! Here you are, in the middle of the road trying to go back and the darned vehicle is just sitting there not moving for 3-4 seconds. To make it even scarier, you get to repeat the process over again when trying to go forward all the while cars are coming in your direction. I am like "What the hell is this?" Problem #2: Some rocket scientist decided it was a good idea to put the transmission speed changer (D2, D3) on a piece of plastic that is located just behind the left side of the steering wheel. Great idea! At leas

Driving down the highway with the sunroof cracked open and there was a loud noise and quickly had to close the sunroof and the slider because the sunroom shattered. No one saw any debris.

Glass moonroof spontaneously shattered. While driving there was a loud explosion noise as if something was dropped from above and hit the roof. We saw nothing that might have come from traffic in front of us and there was no damage to the metal roof. Traffic was thick and we may have only been moving at 30 mph.

My car turned off and all dashboard lights were on, an warning message pop up on the display “Auto Engine Idle Stop”

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while driving at approximately 35 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle hesitated. The contact stated that the emissions warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the entire fuel system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the failure recurred, and the emissions warning light illuminated again. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 5,020.

The car has used Automatic braking 3 times for no reason. No one is front of us. It also used automatic braking and then made the car die? Or lose all power and there was no object in front of us, in the middle of the road. We were almost rear ended and the vehicle would not let us move. It was horrible.

I bought new car in mid January 2022 and on 1st January 2023 my car was Shuts Down middle of the road While Driving. It is nightmare. No warning or hazard lights working. Call 911 for police for further assistance. I am living in Maryland and issue happened in new Jersey. It's national holiday and all facilities and accommodations are closed and I stuck with my family. I am attaching police reports for reference.

We discovered that both right and left rear door locks were not operating properly in our brand new 2022 Honda Pilot Touring, preventing the passengers from being able to exit the vehicle. From the original purchase on Oct 27, 2022, the kids had complained of being unable to unlock and open the rear doors from inside the cabin. After continuing problems, I discovered that once the door locks had been locked electronically, either via the drivers side door switch or the key fob, it was impossible to manually unlock and open the right or left rear passenger doors. Again - the rear seat passengers were NOT able to exit the vehicle on their own. Once all doors had been unlocked electronically via the switch of key fob, then the rear doors could be manually locked and unlocked using the lock tabs by each door handle. We took the vehicle to the dealer on Nov 30, 2022 and they confirmed that the locks were not working properly. (Note at this time, the vehicle had already had the rear entertainment system fail and had been at the Honda World Westminster service facility for five (5) days for repairs and while they replaced the control unit) On Dec 2-3, Honda World Westminster service took 2 days to diagnose and repair the vehicle (now 7 days total in the shop), replacing both rear door lock assemblies (Right Rear Latch Assembly Part # 72610-T5R-A31; Left Rear Latch Assembly Part # 72650-T5R-A31). When we received the vehicle I asked what exactly had failed and how could both locks be

Wednesday 9/28, some cloud cover but nothing on the deck, mild temps, straight highway– traveling on I-90 eastbound at 10AM, and past North Bend and the 436th Ave SE exit, our 2022 Pilot braked suddenly from 70 to about 40 mph accompanied by the red flashing BRAKING light. At that point the West bound traffic is some 100 feet away from the eastbound. We were in the left line with a speed of 70 mph with ACC activated. Just prior, I noticed an ambulance, Westbound, with lights on – in the westbound left lane, as our CMBS went bonkers eastbound. Luckily, there were no other cars near us.

When driving on highways and interstate the vehicle flashes BRAKE when the is no reason to brake. This happens multiple times per day, in my commute. The 2nd thing (and most dangerous) is the automatic braking. Several times on the interstate the car has done a HARD brake while travelling at high speeds, only there wasn’t a reason for it No other vehicles were in front of us at the time. It has also happened several times on the state road that we drive daily. It’s not. I have contacted Honda and have note heard back as of yet. This is a very dangerous and possibly fatal flaw. The issue is definitely ongoing.

I have only owned this car, purchased new from the dealer, for a few weeks. Three times already the Collision Mitigation Braking System has almost gotten me rear-ended (and almost got me punched by one of them who thought I slammed on my brakes on purpose.) -Once was on the expressway when I was changing lanes. I guess the car thought I was too close to the car in the lane I had already left, but it slammed on its brakes anyway causing a car behind me to have to avoid a collision with me. - The second was at a stop light waiting for a left turn arrow. There were several of us in line (obviously in close proximity to each other) and, when the green arrow came on to allow the turn, I started moving and the car slammed on its own brakes. The car behind me had to panic brake to avoid rear-ending me. He then started getting out of his car; furious that I'd just done that. - The third time was again from a stop at a red light, but going straight this time. The light turned green, I started moving, and after a couple seconds the car slammed on its brakes again almost getting me hit. There needs to be a way to permanently disable this feature rather than defaulting to "On" at every start. I will work on remembering to manually turn it off every start-up, and hopefully I can remember 100% of the time before someone gets injured.

No other vehicles were in front of us at the time. It has also happened several times on the state road that we drive daily. We have taken it to the dealership and were told it is functioning normal. It’s not. I have contacted Honda and I have a case number with them, but they have failed to contact me when they said they would (2 weeks late) We see this as an absolute danger to our family. We need an advocate. The issue is ongoing.

Our familly was driving down the highway on vacation when there was a very loud noise. I was in the passenger seat and looked back to see large pieces flying off of the car. When we got to a safe place to pull over, we noted that the trim at the bottom of the door, both front and rear had come off of the car. Had we been on the very busy freeway, which we had been a few minutes earlier, these large pieces flying into the air could have hit another vehicle or frightened a driver causing them to cross lanes trying to miss these pieces. The incident was reported to the call center and we were told that it was a known manufacturing default. The dealership denied that there was a manufacturing default and was unsure why we were told that. There was no warning of this incident about to occur. The dealership agreed to repair the vehicle as a "good will" offer.

Doors open while running, car still driving if suddenly open the door.

While driving on the freeway my vehicle suddenly brakes without me pressing the brake. There were no vehicles in front of me to trigger the Automatic Brakes sensors.The brake warning light turned on and began flashing. I was almost hit from the back by the car behind me. My car is available for inspection upon your request. I have take my vehicle to dealer service center for other electrical issues.

On several occasions, while driving, my vehicle would not accelerate when I pressed the gas pedal. It stalls and then bursts forward. I have noticed that it is more prevalent when I drive off. I have taken my car to the dealer service center, and they said they could not replicate the issue. My vehicle is available for inspection upon your request.

I leased a brand new 2022 Honda Pilot and after two weeks of leasing it developed a severe leaking problem with the transmission. The pilot was taken to a local dealer, the local dealer refused service. It was then taken to the original dealer, and the original dealer replaced the transmission. There was some sort of metallurgical fault or defect with the transmission casing, necessitating replacement of the entire transmission. The vehicle had less than 500 miles when this happened.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the braking system would erroneously activate causing the vehicle to abruptly reduce speed. Additionally, while operating the vehicle, the brake lights would randomly flash on and off. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 1,000.

SUV(Honda Pilot 2022) continues to brake. and lose power after brake pedal has been released causing unsafe and un controlled stopping. ( No warning lights or errors ) We have almost been rear ended do to this. Taken back to dealer to repair after only 200 miles on SUV. Dealer replaced antilock brake module. After repairs SUV seemed to brake normally for about one week then started doing the same thing again but way worse, to the point we didnt think we could make it home. The sticking brakes, loss of power to the SUV got so bad that it was unsafe to operate and was towed to the dealer awaiting another repair...in shop now two times with less then 500 miles for same exact safety issue. This braking issue could possibly cause serious accidents if not remedied soon. Hearing stories other 2022 Hondas are dealing with this issue as well....hoping no one gets seriously hurt if issue is left unaddressed
