Honda Pilot Reviews

I purchased a 2012 certified Honda Pilot from a Honda dealership in Novi Michigan and come to find out just with 60,000 miles the rear shocks are leaking and the dealer wants $500.00 to replace the rear shocks. I'm so upset that buying a certified vehicle don't mean you're covered. I'm so disappointed in the dealer and Honda quality. I could only imagine if the shocks don't hold up for 3 years, how is their cars going to last. The dealer should have covered the replacement under warranty, but I was told I was out of luck. This will be my last Honda that I will ever buy. What a mistake I have done and feel very disappointed that I have wasted my money.

I bought a 2015 Honda Pilot on May 31st of this year. By the middle of June I got out of the Pilot and I heard a pop. I looked back and saw the driver's seat popped out. I brought it to the dealership and they replaced the (clips) which supposed to hold the seat in. 8 days later same problem so they put new clips in. Within a week the same thing happens so they replaced the whole seat, well here it is 8 days later and same problem.

3 month prior to the end of the warranty my Honda Pilot 2012 had so called "Cylinder #1 misfire" issue (Plug #1 was oil fouled). There is a TSB regarding this issue and it involves costly ($5,000) repair. Instead of fixing the issue they replaced the plug and told me that there was a bug in the on-board computer software. 9 month later it happens again. At this point my Honda is not covered by warranty so I bring it to independent mechanic. He replaces same plug again and tells me that I have to bring my car to the dealership ASAP because there is a TSB and they will fix it free of charge. Dealership refuses the fix based on the fact that car already fixed and they can't verify error codes.

I love my Honda Pilot (2011) but there is one problem. I had my three grandkids for six weeks last summer. In order to keep my car nice, I did not allow them to eat in the car and only gave them water to drink. (I gave them plenty of treats, just not in the car!) When they went home and the car seats were removed, my cloth seat covers were horribly stained, apparently by spilt water! We just accepted this until tonight when our son suggested I do some research. Is this a common problem with these cloth seat covers? Has Honda had to deal with complaints on this? Curious if others had this experience.

Honda refuses to provide rental car while RECALL parts are back-ordered. Honda's Recall Letter to us states - if we drive our 06 Honda Pilot, "The defects in these vehicles could kill or injure you or other people in your vehicle." We received the recall letter on April 24, 2015. Same day I called Parker Honda, Morehead City, NC to schedule the work. I was told it would be several weeks before the parts could be ordered and installed. Parker Honda said to contact Honda Customer Service (HCS) about a rental car. I called HCS to get a rental vehicle that day and got a Case #. I was told we could not immediately have a rental car for the 'several weeks' until our vehicle can be repaired. WE ARE PAYING FOR A RENTAL CAR TO AVOID BEING KILLED BY THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. HCS WILL NOT RETURN CALLS/MSGS TO PROVIDE TEMPORARY VEHICLE.

On my 2012 Honda pilot there is a terrible shake and humming noise. This all started at 28,000 miles. When driving at any speed from 20 mph to 70 mpg. There is an awful shake that comes from the vehicle when it is in the eco mode. I have taken it to the dealership 4 times. Each time they claim that they have fixed. On a test ride with the manager the last time he told that the shake I am feeling is a normal characteristic of the Honda pilot. I kindly told him him that they didn't list that as one of the selling point. He responded by saying that it is normal and there is no fix for it. I strongly feel that no one should have paid 30k for a vehicle that has a shake in it. So once again I will be going back to Bianchi Honda in Erie, PA to see if they will fix my pilot or take it back.

Engine dashlight on with subsequent slipping of the transmission when attempting to gain speed or accelerate. Had service on transmission done per recommendations from code repair mechanic obtained when taken in for service, and all recommended service per owner's manual current and has been done. I am original owner of vehicle purchased at Orr Honda in Texarkana. I have reviewed the thousands of complaints online of this same thing on NHTSA, highway safety commission, and the center for auto safety car complaints sites.

2nd time our 2012 Pilot rolled a few feet after being put in park. No one was hurt. Honda looked at this after the first incident and said the vehicle was fine.

Brand new Honda Pilot 2014 EX-L 4WD. Bought it from Union Honda located in Wilmington DE. After driving for few months gas cap door fell off because the round gas cap door is cheap piece of plastic clip on cover. Car dealer won't fix it unless I pay few hundred dollar. They told me it don't cover under warranty because there is no default, I broke it. Paid thousands of dollar for new car to put epoxy glue to hold the gas cap door. Feels great.

Within the first month of having my black 2014 Pilot, there were white brush like scratches by my passenger front wheel panel. I thought someone with a white SUV must have hit my new car and was very upset. Then a few months later, I noticed more on the same side in front of the tire but higher up. Now a couple days ago as I am drying off my pilot, I see more above the light and on the side. I googled to see if others are having paint problems, and they are! I can't believe having a car for less than a year and am continually having issues with the paint. This is just the start.

My Honda Pilots pedal was stuck twice in two weeks. This occurred today 10/10/14. The key was removed from the ignition but the car was still on. When I removed the key from the ignition the car remained running. This happened today and yesterday. I reinserted the key to turn the car off and the car accelerated. Luckily, the car was in park. This happened again on 8/23/14. My son was driving and the pedal got stuck. My son quickly put the car in neutral and the car idled down. This was very scary. The car remained accelerated for about a half of block. This could have resulted in a fatal accident.

My new 2014 Honda Pilot was in park. The key was turned off and it immediately started to roll backwards, threw me to the ground and continued to roll down my driveway, hit a tree -- $8,000.00 + repairs. I called Honda Corp and reported this because I know there was a failure of some sort with the car. They rejected my report and also quite nasty about my concerns. I am going to pursue this further but working on a plan. I feel they were irresponsible and dismissive of what could be a very significant issue. If anyone has had this same problem would like to know.

I have 2 cars - A 2014 Honda Pilot and a 2010 Subaru. The Subaru links up fine with my cell phone. I just leave it in there on the charger and it picks it up without any problem and work flawlessly. Honda Big Tough Nice car but damn, you would think they could get a better linkup system than they're using...

I dissatisfied with my Honda Pilot Touring 2014 with the gas mileage and my Rear camera. Honda said this car do 18 up 24 miles per gls. My Honda Pilot I put 17gls of gas - it give 207.9 mileage. It's less than 12.5 miles per gls, coming from PA to NY 1 hour and 30 minutes it took more than a quarter tank. The rear camera is very blur. At night you cannot see anything - too blur.

I took my 2007 Honda Pilot to the Phillipsburg, NJ authorized Honda service center and they recommended having the valves adjusted. When I took the Pilot to the dealership service center, it did not make any noise. After they adjusted the valves, it was making a clinking noise so I took it back to the service center. They then explained that the engine was bad and I needed to replace the engine for $10,000. Since there was no issue until they adjusted the valves and they did not say that the engine was bad when they had done the work, I can't believe that they didn't do something to cause the engine to go bad but they won't help with this issue. Any suggestions on how I can get Honda to step up to help with this issue?

I am the original owner of a 2003 Honda Pilot. I purchased a 7-year extended warranty, and have had all my service done at my Honda dealership. The car has been garaged and well cared for. In brief, my Pilot has been meticulously maintained. The current issue is the SRS light has come on and Honda wants $430 to fix it. The problem is they put out Service Bulletin 06-009 on this issue in 2006 and extended the warranty on the OPDS unit/sensor for 10 years or 100K miles, whichever occurs first - but didn't send a letter notifying me of the issue. I am at 10 years 8 months, and 90K miles.

I have a 2014 Pilot LX bought in October 2013.. At the beginning I did experience the shudder issue as described by others between 40 and 50 mph, and then again between 60 and 70 mph. Although not extremely bad it was noticeable. At the present time the truck has 5000 miles on it, and I no longer experience any tremor/ shuddering. I have not experienced it since approximately 2500-3000 miles. I'm very happy with the truck, and have had no problems at all. Combined mph is 20.1 in the total 7000 miles, combined freeway and street, approximately 40%-50% respectively. Overall very happy with the truck. So far happier than I was with my previous car, a rav4 2008, which I also bought new.

Do not buy a Honda. Not because mine is a money pit, with lots of problems; but because beyond changing your oil and putting in spark plugs, HONDA does NOT know how to fix their own vehicles. Nor does anyone else. I've paid the dealership thousands $$$ this year and my vehicle is a nightmare. Water leaks everywhere. Carpet ruined and floorboard rusted from water damage. Several trips to dealership who told me they did not know what was causing the leak and they could not fix it and that I would have to find and pay someone else to take the seats out of my Honda Pilot in order to pull out the carpeting.

We purchased a brand new Honda Pilot in November of 2013 for $38,000 and have dealt with vibration issues with the vehicle since new. It's been in the shop 4 times and we are now being told it's a normal function of the Cylinder Management System. They had it for a week this last time and changed a "counter vibrating motor mount" and downloaded a new computer update. The result is that instead of the intermittent vibration at 45 mph+ It now: 1) Vibrates and shudders for prolonged periods while shifting through all gears; 2) Vibrates, shudders and surges at all speeds and while decelerating.

I bought a used Honda Pilot from Tyler Honda in Stevensville Michigan. I never had a chance to take it on the highway. Several days after buying it, I noticed the steering wheel was shaking once I hit about 67 miles per hour. After making a complaint to my salesman, about two weeks later, the dealer put my car on the lift and found that I had inner wear on my tires and that my alignment was out. I asked if the tires were checked before the car went out and they said their mechanics did a safety check on everything including the tires.

I have had my new 2013 Pilot for 6 months. Part of 1 winter and my chrome is already discolored and cannot be cleaned to look new. I still have 30K dollars to pay it off and it already looks crappy? I asked the dealer to fix the issue and they said that it was not faulty chrome, but due to Colorado weather. I have had (3) Explorers and the last one for 10 years and then 2 other cars with chrome, none of them have had issues. This is an inferior product and it really makes me question my purchase. I fear that the other parts will be at the same poor standards. I bought Honda because I thought it would be a quality product. I really fear that I was greatly wrong. I will never buy another Honda!

I took my 2010 Honda Pilot into Majestic Honda because I was hearing a knocking sound when I drove the car. They diagnosed my car and told me that it was the engine. Did not have warranty with Honda but I had an extended warranty with another company. Honda told me I had to contact the warranty company and let them know I was going to bring my car in to be serviced for the engine. I called the warranty company and took the car back to Honda. Honda had the car for several days, tore down the engine, which took them six hours of labor and called the warranty company. The Warranty company sent an adjuster over to Honda to inspect the engine.

Every single piece of chrome on my 2012 Honda 4WD Pilot is discolored. It looks terrible and I have the car less than 18 months. The chrome is not pitted. It is discolored with many spheres measuring 0.25 to 0.5 inch in diameter. Honda Customer Complaints refuses to replace the chrome (even after escalation) stating that it is an external factor causing the problem (salt on the roads). My cheaper Honda CRV does not have discolored chrome. This is clearly the case of poor selection of materials not able to withstand normal wintry road conditions. I want all chrome replaced. I am outraged by Honda's lack of response and quality orientation. The hotline representative stated that they are not responsible for design quality, simply workmanship. The quality of workmanship in the design department is severely deficient.

Interior Blue Tooth and Speaker System - I will get a lawyer! I have only had my pilot for 3 weeks! First, my Samsung Rugby Pro which is on Ice Cream Sandwich system that I paid almost $300 for does not work in the Pilot! It disconnects all calls and you can't disconnect. So I went and had to spend another $200 to get a new phone last night on a Motorola mb886 which is on Jellybean system. Mind you, go on Honda's website and both phones are listed on the (compatible) list, meaning they are supposed to work! Today, I discovered it does the same thing!

I bought a brand new Honda Pilot in October 2012. There were some problems with the car since the very first day. One of which was, and still is, the squeaking noises. The service center failed to resolve the issues after 3 visits. And frankly, those noises are bothering me a lot. The local only dealer in Saudi Arabia tried to accuse me after they failed to fix the car. I took the car to them several times and every time, they told me it was fixed. But the fact is that they couldn't fix it. I have sent complaints to Honda USA where the car was made and also to Japan, but it seemed that they didn't care. What should I do?

I signed a contract for a 2005 Honda Pilot and the sales staff assured squealing noises and rough running conditions would be repaired. They wrote in due bill terms I could perform a final test drive to verify the issues had been fixed. When I drove again, it had the same issues and they would no longer help. Since then I have brought the vehicle in 6 times to repair the current issues. We have never received invoices for work performed and still have the same issues with the vehicle. No one at the dealer (Emotorswest) will respond to email or phone messages.

I purchased a 2012 Honda Pilot with 11 miles on it. I was sold a car that was a lemon for top dollar. The car was overpriced and I was overcharged for this vehicle. They even took my warranty I had purchased with my 2010 Honda Pilot without my permission or knowing what they were doing. I did not agree to them taking my warranty. They distracted me by saying I had taken a pen that I did not have. I was so embarrassed and humiliated. Later, I realized it was all an act to distract me while they were taking my money. It wasn't enough that they sold the car to me overpriced. The car has numerous problems. It had to be towed in within six months of purchase. They told me a rodent got in the engine and bit the wires and it was not covered under the warranty. The car is barely running and has parts that have fallen off the back wiper blade. Part is not working like the back window will not open. It skips and acts like it wants to stall when I switch gears. The ventilation is not working properly ... I do not drive it and I'm scared to take it in for what they may do to me or accuse me of. Can someone please help me get justice for what they have done to me for trying to buy and have a decent running car?

In 8/2011, I bought a battery that has a 5 year warranty. On 8/9, I jump started my car the following morning and took it in to Hardin Honda to have the battery inspected. The battery was inspected by Mr. **. He called me to inform that they found no visual problem or indication of car not turning on. I drove my car back home, no problem. The following night, the car had trouble turning on, the battery appeared drained. On 8/11, I jump-started it again and took it back to Hardin Honda. I pay $110.00 for an electric inspection. Hours later they called me to tell me that the starter needed to be replaced, but they wouldn't be able to complete the job till possibly Tuesday.

Terrible service/untruthful salespeople: In 2009, I purchased a brand-new Honda Pilot. Both the saleswoman, Sandy, and the finance officer talked me into purchasing the extended warranty, assuring me that it would cover everything. Even though I did not want to purchase this warranty, they convinced me that it was worth it. This vehicle is paid off.

I am very disappointed in the purchase of my 2011 Honda Pilot. It is honestly the worst vehicle I have ever owned. After just 20k miles, I had to have a torque converter replaced. The truck still isn't running right, the transmission still slips, the leather seats are already developing tears, and it's not from my family as we're all very light builds. There is no reason for this poor quality. The remote key barely works, the door trim is falling apart, the trim on the back "hatch" door is falling off. I bought this vehicle because we had owned a 2004 Pilot, bought new and put over 150k miles on it without a single problem. I have also owned a Civic SI and an Accord that I loved dearly. Unfortunately this Pilot has ruined my love for Honda. I will not be purchasing another, and after owning it a mere 6 months, I will be trading it in for a different SUV and taking a loss on it.

Brand new 2012 Honda Pilot EX: Excessive brake pedal travel and bad braking which is amplified with increased speed. Traveling on the highway at 65 mph and with a comfortable distance from the vehicle in front, the flow of traffic slowed down suddenly which required rapid braking. I pressed the pedal to the floor and almost ran into the car in front and missed it by only about a foot. Applying the brake had very little response and the Pilot SUV traveled an excessive distance before it came into a stop.

We were driving, out of town and our 2005 Pilot, with 98,500 miles on it, overheated. There was a burning smell, we glanced at the temperature gauge and noticed that it was overheating. We immediately pulled over and inspected under the hood, there was brown fluid all over. We had our Pilot towed to a local repair shop, where we were told the transmission fluid and radiator fluid had mixed and both the transmission and radiator would need replaced, he estimated $4,000.

Horrible! Have a leased 2009 Pilot touring model. The car never starts! The dealer can't find the problem nor cares to.

I had a accident in 2010 with my 2005 Honda pilot and the air bag came out only on the passenger side and burn my son's arm bad. It never came out on the driver side. My experience with the 2005 Honda was rated very poorly. My son was treated at the emergency room for second degree burn on has arm. This cause him to be out of work for 2 weeks.Please let me know who should this be directed to for investigation.

I went out today to buy a new Honda Pilot. I took a tape measure and sure enough Honda has narrowed the seats by 3 inches. The seats in my current Pilot are 22 inches wide and the new ones are 19 inches wide. No sale. Also, why must I buy a moon roof that I do not want and would never, never use. I was a totally satisfied customer with my current Pilot, but I am uncomfortable in the new models and will not buy one! The seats in a RAV 4 are more comfortable. Also why monkey with a perfect car? Put the gear shift back on the column, and take the 50 cent seats out and put a decent seat back in.

My transmission went out in my 2003 Honda pilot. I experienced sudden jerking while driving my children to school on a fast road. Luckily, I was able to pull over without an accident! I had the flashing D error described by so many other pilot owners documented on the web, who have had transmission problems.

I bought a brand new 2011 Honda Pilot from these hypocrites. They were not able to entangle me with any of their ** hidden cost because I had my own money financed from a different institution. Well, I got myself a suitable deal. The second week, I heard a funny noise coming from the transmission. I took it back and I was told three different things. One mechanic of Chinese origin says he cannot hear anything (how could you hear anything if the garage is noisy?).

We purchased our 2008 Honda Pilot at Jack Pirtle Honda in Jackson, TN in December 14, 2007. We relocated to Sparks, NV in July of 2010. This problem with the air conditioning has been there since we bought the car. We first used the AC for 4 months after we purchased it in the spring of 2008 when the weather became hot. I had 6 work orders for the work to be done on the AC from April 7, 2008 to March 10, 2009. I was told nothing about other issues. The problem finally seemed to be better after the last AC pipe was replaced and another recharge was done in March of 2009. We weren't using the AC during winter months. We started using the AC again in June of 2009 and it lasted through that summer. It was not used from fall of 2009 until summer of 2010. We moved to Nevada in July 2010 and it seemed okay. It was unused from September of 2010 until I turned it on May 6, 2011 when it was once again blowing warm air.

Since 2008, I have been trying with Honda San Juan to resolve the problem that I have with my Honda Pilot 2008. If you drive up to a hill at 50 miles per hour or more, you can smell gases inside the cabin, with everything close, through the air conditioning. They have not resolve my problem and they do not give any choices.

The transmission in 2003 Honda Pilot was recalled in 2004 and the dealer failed to address the recall properly. Now (December 2010), the transmission fails and Honda won't do a thing for me. I had to spend $5,000 to replace the transmission.

Here we go again. 3 months ago the rear driver side window was down and would not go up. Took it to Honda and had a bill for $300 to pay. Now it's the front driver side window, I don't have another $300. What next, the two windows on the passenger side for another $600. Honda needs to recall this cheap part. I have never in all my car ownership years had a window just fall down, yet alone 2 in 3 months. Really makes me fear the future. I have less than 20,000 miles on my 05 Pilot, and I am the original owner. I don't mess with the windows, they are usually always up!

I just recently purchased a 2004 Honda Pilot in November. In June, it started having problems where it started not being able to shift past drive so I stopped driving it except to mechanics to find the problem. The first time I went to drive it after that problem, it was like I slammed the brakes on but thankfully I was just going up our drive way and not driving fast. I started driving again and it kept messing up. Then the green light started flashing on the D when I was driving and parked. I took it to a local trusted mechanic that I know and he plugged it into the computer and it came up with a transmission code. He also found a broken cable that is the transmission gear shifter cable and said it was not using all gears. He said when he checked the transmission fluid, he found chips of metal in it. He said it has probably been like this the whole time.

I am the original owner of my Pilot. I was given two automatic keys and the battery needed to be replaced in both of them. I tried to get the little screw out, I couldn't. I took it to a battery store, they couldn't. I took it to the dealership, they couldn't. They told me to order the outside case for $6 and they could pry it off and insert the key in the new case, then the battery could be replaced. Well, it broke on both keys. I don't blame the dealership. They said that this is a continual problem with Honda keys, the tightening goo they put on the screws renders it impossible to remove the screw to replace the battery. I felt that Honda should reimburse me the cost of the key because of this flaw.

I found pilot with pics on their website (which were removed the next day). I talked to three people to verify if it was available and had options shown in pics. I drove 2 hours to see it and it did not have those options. Salesman chased us out of dealership saying it wasn't his fault and he was sorry. False advertising and liars!

Poor quality car from Honda. Bad service and negligence from Honda dealership. New 2007 car from dealership, after 9,000 miles, had axle leak! There are 2 other issues, but I focused on this first. Mainly emotional damages: Bought new car to not worry about car breakdown problems but car have had 3 issues and bad service from the dealership. Do trust my safety in the car.

I have a 2008 Honda Pilot. Every time that I go up to a hill, at 50 or more miles, I smell gases from my scape system coming from the air condition with all windows and vents close. When this happens, I need to open the windows and ventilate the area because the odor is too strong and novice to our health. We have been, for almost a year, giving complaints to the dealer but they cannot resolve the problem. They say that Honda America knows about the problem but they don't have a solution for it. This is an expensive vehicle and smells like a junk when this happens. I will like Honda America to contact us to see what are they going to do with this situation because Honda De San Juan does not give me a solution for this.

I was driving on the freeway at 70 plus mph and all of a sudden without warning my car went from 5th gear to 2nd gear. The car jolted and I hit my head on the back of the seat. It scared the daylights out of me and then it went back into gear like nothing happened. After I got home and turned off the car and then turned it on again the light for maintenance came on. I tried shifting from park to drive to reverse and it kept getting locked in the reverse gear when it was parked. I tried calling the dealership since I purchased my 03 Honda Pilot, which was used on August 05, and when I looked on internet the transmission was recalled April 04.

I bought a new 2008 Accord and the car currently has 23,400 miles on it. It was making a vibrating sound of metal hitting together while I was driving. As I applied the brakes, it would stop. I took it to the dealership and was told that the rear brakes need to be replaced. I was horrified that after one year of ownership, I would have to replace the brakes. I called Honda corporate. Mary in customer service "helped" me, saying it was not a warranty item and there is nothing she could do. She was extremely rude and not helpful in anyway.

All the climate control lights in my 2006 Honda Pilot are burnt out. I have never had a vehicle where the dash lights have not worked. The vehicle is only 4 years old and they have been dying out for the last year or so. Honda says to fix this, it would cost about $300 - to replace light bulbs! To make it worse, I have an extended warranty, but it doesn't cover replacement bulbs. The guys in the service department says they have been seeing this a lot lately, yet there are no recalls for this particular problem.

I own a Honda Pilot 2007 and I love it. I have a big problem with the windshield wipers; they are no good. When it rains heavily, you can't see anything and this is very dangerous. I have other friends that are complaining also.

In a time when you would think that customer service would be king, I guess having repeat customers doesn't mean anything to some companies. I have a 2005 Honda Pilot. I love this car, have had no problems except now, my keyless entry remote has stopped working. I realize that it is probably the battery, so I take it to the local Honda dealer, Hinshaws Honda, to ask what kind of battery is it going to take, and how do I open it up. I am told that it is just a standard size battery. Okay, which standard size?

My 2004 Honda Pilot just turned over 100k miles when the check engine error message "incorrect gear ratio" occurred. Both the Honda dealer and outside shops informed me that replacement was necessary. I searched online to find lots of premature failures in Odyssey's, Accord's, and MDX's that all have the same automatic transmission. Online accounts varied as to mileage before failure, but were usually between 40k and 65k miles. I asked the Olympia dealer, where I had done all the scheduled service, to check into Honda Corporate to pay for the transmission, though way passed warranty. He said no, and that they just replaced one with only 60k miles with no support from HQ. A year after we bought the Pilot, we received a letter from Honda saying that our tranny needed to be checked for an overheating problem. They apparently installed an extra cooling jet to delay the breakdown until after the warranty period expired. The new tranny, which cost $3700, was installed. I chose a local shop that guaranteed the work for the life of the vehicle. I'm extremely angry that Honda wouldn't stand by their product - one that I bought for its longevity. Heck, my brake pads lasted longer than the transmission!

I too just had to replace the compressor on my 2005 Honda Pilot. The website I have been dealing with is JustAnswer.com/Honda. They have also blamed the problem on road debris, but my mechanic says it is a manufacture defect and could happen again. My car doesn't have but 25,000 miles on it. I shouldn't have to worry every year if I'm going to have A/C problems and have to put out a lot of money every summer if the condenser goes. I have the condenser that was removed from my car today. There are no marks or holes in it to indicate road debris. I would like to have the condenser examined by someone, like the manufacturer, to see exactly what happened so Honda can recall it and fix it.

We have a 2008 Honda Pilot VP. The mileage is about 11k miles. The power steering died on us on 4/03/2009. While driving at about 40 mph, we heard a metal clanking noise from the front hood and, the next thing we knew, we lost control steering the vehicle. We took the vehicle to Honda dealer and it has been 5 days and they are still looking for parts they said. It's a 2008 car, less than 12,000 miles. It's a year old car. I am using my husband's car, and since his work is far from home, he is staying in near work without a car. What should we do? Should we wait forever?

I bought a car from honda since I was moving to california last february so I needed a bigger car. I traded my RAV 4 for a honda Pilot. It was almost time for them to close the office when we closed the deal at 9 pm. I even repeated to all the people in the office that it was a 3 yr-contract. So i trusted their words. We agreed for a 3-year payment for the pilot for $740/month in trade of the RAV 4. When I moved to california, I did realized that the contract that I signed was a balloon payment. Nobody had told me that it was a balloon payment and no idea what balloon payment was and it was not just at 3-yr contract.

I have a 2003 Honda Pilot w/ 60,000 miles that has the VTM-4 light flashing. I would like to know if there are any problems with this.

My 2005 Honda Pilot seats started wrinkling terribly and now are tearing. Vehicle is in immaculate condition otherwise. Honda says it is normal. Any one else having this problem?

My 2004 Honda Pilot has had 2 failed air conditioners in the past 2 years that I have owned it. It would have had more failures but I do not replace it until June and hope that it carries me through the summer (it doesn't. It is the common hole in compressor due to road hazzard. It is such a common repair with Honda that they use the term as soon as I call the dealer to make an appointment to fix the broken air conditioner and then they remind me that it is my fault and say that it will not be covered by any warranty. Apparently this problem is common in all Honda makes and models.

We bought a brand new 2005 Honda Pilot. My wife was rear ended just a few months after we bought it. The damage was contained to the rear bumper and tailgate. We had the vehicle towed to th dealership so they could do the repair work since it was brand new we didn't want totake any chances with any warranty issues. After a few months the tailgate open indicator would come on and whenever you locked the vehicle the alarm would go off.

I purchased a brand new 2005 Acura TL. Rear tires were completely worn out in 15,000 Km. Complained, tires were replaced, alignment check done. Have now gone through this same process, many calls and emails and much resistance to do anything.. 3 alignment checks already done by dealer and the 4th set of tires is now on the rear of the car at 52,500 Km and wearing out just as fast as all the rest. Tires are Michelin Pilot HXMXM4 93W. Honda says not their problem because dealer can't find anything wrong and dealer says he can't do anything because Honda won't cover it.I would just like them to fix it. I have put 2,000+ Km on the vehicle just driving back and forth to the dealer

We have 05 Honda Pilot which we have been happy with for the most part. It only has 23K miles yet the drivers seat is experiencing some tearing on the side. We are questioning the quality of leather, note the tear is on the side and not where on the top or surface of where you sit. Has there been other problems like this reported?

The airbag on my 6 month old Honda Pilot went for no reason. On 4/14/04, my wife was driving home from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, cruising at a speed of 65mph. Both the driver side and passenger side airbags went off for no reason, causing the vehicle to loss control which resulted injuries to the passengers and driver and damages to the vehicle. After the airbag got deployed, the security system went off continously, therefore the vehicle was unable to start.
