Read complaints for HONDA PILOT (2007)

I received a safety recall notice from honda and called my local dealership, autopark honda, on may 14, 2015 to schedule an appointment for the air bag repair. I was told that the part needed to be ordered and that someone would call me back when the part was in to schedule an appointment. I did not hear anything back from autopark honda. I received another safety recall notice from honda and called autopark honda again on august 14, 2015. They stated that the part ordered for me back in may 2015 had not yet been received and asked me to call back in another week to check on it. For a safety recall that is supposed to involved potentially fatal malfunctioning of the air bags, i think that a 3 month delay in parts is unacceptable. It is not acceptable to notify vehicle owners of serious concerns but then not offer them a repair within a reasonable amount of time, no greater than 60 days.

Tmy vehicle, a 2007 honda pilot is subject to a recall, and i only, in the last two days, became aware of same. I called a local dealer but the person advised that they could not make any repairs at no cost to me.

I am very upset and disgusted with the safety of the vehicles customers are allowed to drive while companies including this complaint website is aware and not too concerned to take action. I was told that the airbags are on back order not just by honda but also on our dodge vehicle. So many families are expected to drive a vehicle and risk their lives daily and companies feel they are covered because they warned us with a recall, this is unacceptable that we are warned but there is nothing that can be done to fix the problems until the back order is current and we receive a call back!!!!! if there is a faulty vehicle the customer should either be able to turn in the vehicle and be freed of their loans so they can go somewhere else to purchase one with some type of credit(that is safe) , receive a loaner vehicle until the problem is fixed or given another vehicle as a swap. How can you blame other countries for trying to kill americans when it is happening within our own country-how can someone sleep at night knowing so many people are driving unsafe vehicles. 1 life is too many, how many other lives are you willing to risk before you make them do something so people are safe. I expect a reply as soon as possible since this is a complaint process. Thank you,

We experienced a burning odor in the car cab, the air bag indicator lit and the a/c temperature rose to the outside air level. When taken to my car tech, he found that there was a fire on the right cabin wiring harness near where the harness enters the cabin. This fire burnt up all the wiring for several feet and disabled the a/c, front lights and air bag systems. If we had not caught this issue when we did, the engine could have had a fire even when not driving (i.e. In the garage at night). Our repairman also remarked that the airbags could have deployed at anytime when on the road. Obviously serious injury could have occurred! this was determined to be caused by a factory defect in manufacture. This problem was caused because the area of the engine where the wires passed through had rough edges resulting in wire fatigue and damage to the wire harness.

Thank you nhtsa safecar.gov for your ?recalls look-up by vin? feature it may have saved my life during march 2015 purchase of a honda pilot 2007.my complaint addresses how american honda and an independent dealer may be the tip of a growing "recall safety issue."first, parts for a fatality recall since september 2014 are on back-order and; the dealer?s customer-service representative treated the issue as a "used car" buyer?s problem. The dealer?s service representative stated: well,the recall has been going on since october 2014!as noted above, i did not purchase the vehicle until march 2015.i had no knowledge of the recall until i read a recent article in consumer reports.in addition, american honda?s customer-service representatives "ultimely" support the dealers position not the consumer. In closing, "used car consumers beware" and; realize independent auto dealers and american honda have no responsibility to inform you of recalls or address additional concerns you may have regarding your newly purchased "used vehicle." this excerpt isfrom nhtsa for honda pilot 2007; "consequence: in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver side frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the vehicle occupants. Owners of vehicles in florida, puerto rico, hawaii, alabama, louisiana, georgia, south carolina, texas, and the u.s. Virgin islands, were notified on or about september 2014."

My honda pilot is on your list for recall due to faulty and deadly airbags. However honda has still not put my car on their recalllist. According to national and local (boston) news stations it is because we don't live in an areathat has a warm/hot climate most of the time. Having lived in both florida and boston - it gets just as hot here in the summer.as a government agency in charge of looking after our safety issues. Why is it you haven't made honda recall all of the vehicles on your list - picking & choosing who you protect?i am completing this form in the hope that i can file this complaint. Tried end of last week and earlier this week only to find site wasn't functioning. You finallyfixed the vin site, hope this one is fixed.

2007 honda pilot.consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair recall notice 16v-344.

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. The contact stated that the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v351000 (air bags); however, the part needed to repair the vehicle was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

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?

The 2007 honda pilot is included in a list of honda vehicles as part of your recall #14v-35 dated 6/19/2014. Today i contacted american honda customer service and they verified that the vin of my 2007 pilot is included in the recall. I was informed that the company has not yet sent owners a recall notice and they have no schedule yet to get the appropriate parts to the dealers. What really disturbs me is, the spokesperson confirmed this is a safety issue and if we chose to continue to drive the vehicle, we must drive with extreme caution, as front passengers could be seriously hurt in a frontal collision. American honda is not giving us a choice but a sentence. We must drive it as it is the only vehicle available for work commuting, and visiting sick family up-state.so we continue to drive a defective vehicle, knowing that possibly, through no fault of our own, the driver and front passenger could be seriously injured. There must be thousands of other people who are also in the same position within the scope of this recall.nhtsa must put major pressure on american honda to fix these vehicles before we or someone else is seriously injured.

Nhtsa recall 16v-344. Received letter from honda 6/1/16 of recall for them to replace passenger side airbag inflator due to over-aggressive combustion & metal fragments possibly erupting. Called honda dealer 3x. They can't repair they say they don't have parts yet. A passenger can't sit in front seat until repaired. It's > 60 days since i received notification letter.

Honda dealers are unable to replace fatally defective airbags due to lack of replacement parts. I attempted to schedule recall repair and was told it could be months until parts are available.

Srs indicator illuminates periodically for no obvious reason. Dealership read code 92-20 open/short in passenger airbag cutoff circuit; stated could be interference with ac inverter but don't use that in vehicle; did not attempt to fix the problem, sent me back home to monitor if it happened again. With nothing in passenger seat, srs illuminates as well as with items in seat. As of 11/26/12, illuminated steadily for multiple trips (usually does not illuminate on every road trip). Honda defaults to no airbag deployment if srs indicator is illuminated, so i am driving with no active airbags and two children with me in the car.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 honda pilot.the contact stated his vin was not affected by nhtsa campaign number: 14v351000 (air bags) because the contact lives in north carolina.

Air bags of 2007 honda pilots, along with millions of other cars, have been recalled.there has been articles stating that it only affects cars in high humid and/or hot states.my vin # does not bring a recall up but it is a 2007 honda pilot.if i do a search of 2007 honda pilot, the car comes up as airbag recall.maybe this is because i'm in nc and it is not considered a high humidity state???how can it be determined that my vehicle is safe and another one is not safe.i will not feel safe until my airbags are replaced but the dealership says there is no recall. I think about it every time i drive and especially when i am carrying my grandchildren or other passengers.

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 scheduled15minute 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.

Car accelerated and brakes failed completely. This was a fatality accident.when approaching a red light the car did not slow down at all. This accident occured in the middle of a clear day. Reports showed the driver had no alcohol or drugs in their system.i have the black box data that was recovered from the scene and can forward it to you as an attachment.

The hazard,vtm 4 lock, and cruise control buttons do not have any led illumination thus while driving at night these buttons are impossible to locate unless turning on the cabin light to locate.

While driving with headlights on during daylight hours, we noticed a burning smell as we arrived at our destination. It was dark when we returned home and the headlights seemed very dim when using low beams. We were in a very rural area and able to use high beams for most of the trip. When switching to low beams due to oncoming traffic, i had difficulty seeing the road. When we reached the highway and had to use low beams more, it was obvious something was wrong. I used high beams as much as possible. At one point, i switched to low beams as a car passed me. The lights were dim again but suddenly brightened up a second after switching to low beams (possibly due to a bump in the road?) and i realized we had been driving with only fog lights for the past 30 minutes. Without the fog lights, we definitely would have crashed when we dimmed our high beams on the rural roads earlier in the trip.the following day, i turned on the headlights and the low beams were not working. Tapping on the lens sometimes temporarily fixes the problem, so the burning smell may not have been connected to the loss of lights. The sudden onset of this problem is a major safety hazard and seems very similar to the problem experienced with headlights in several other models, including 2003-2005 pilots. The previous recall (nhtsa action number : ea11012 nhtsa recall campaign number : 12v136000) was specific to 2 bulb systems. The 2007 pilot uses a 4 bulb system, but the problem seems similar and i don't have access to any technical information that would explain why the 4 bulb system is immune to the problem. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Most of the climate control lights on my 2007 honda pilot have been out for a while. I bought this vehicle new and have taken excellent care of it; no wrecks, etc. The climate control lights continue to go out a few at a time. This causes night driving to be dangerous due to being unable to adjust anything with a quick glance. I've actually had to turn on the overhead light to see which button to push. Obviously, this takes my attention from the road, causing distracted driving. I've researched and found that this seems to be a common problem with honda pilots. It's hard for me to believe that such a wonderful vehicle and company would have sub par parts or a problem that causes this to happen. I've had other cars (much older models) that have never had an interior light go out. I'd just like to know if there is any way that i can remedy this situation. I plan on keeping this pilot for many more years and would like to be safe when driving. Thank you for any help or advice.

After leaving work and traveling approximately 7 miles to the local home improvement store my 2007 honda pilot caught fire sometime after i parked, shut off the car, walked into the store.i was in the store for no more than 15 minutes when i heard that a red truck was on fire.never would i have thought it was my car, because it is not a truck but an suv.as my curiosity got the better of me, i went outside the garden area to see my honda pilot on fire.after calling 911 and making sure the appropriate fire and police departments were called i walked a little closer to see the damage occurring.the fire department extinguished the fire and the car was a total loss.the fire department stated it is a mechanical failure. This happened minutes before i was going to pick up my children. What would have happened if they were in the car with me or i was driving on the highway?there was no indication that something was wrong....after further investigation i have found out that there is a wiring harness problem that wears out on the cowling ( the metal area between the engine compartment and the dashboard).other people have had issues with the wiring and some had said their cars have caught on fire.when is honda going to acknowledge there is an issue and do a recall???

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.http://www.safetyresearch.net/blog/articles/honda%e2%80%99s-revenge-against-pilot-owner-who-sparked-recallhttp://gotaclassaction.com/honda-named-in-class-action-over-defect-in-the-vehicle-stability-assist-system/

Burned out light bulbs for the on/off indicator switches for air condition.

I noticed my passenger side low beam headlight failed to operate. My husband replaced the lamp(bulb) and checked the fuses but this didn't fix the problem. Afterfurther research, i found previous honda pilot models with the same issue that were recalled for faulty harness headlight issues. However, honda has failed to recall the model year 2007 for the same exact issues. Most owners on forums with 2007 pilots have the same problem at or around 150,000 miles. My pilot has 154,000. The high beams work and the driver's side is not affected. In addition to this problem the yellow reflector bulb is now not working. It's just a matter of time before the entire unit stops working. The problem exists while in motion and stationary.

Vehicle battery indicator illuminated and car died.repair shop attempted to jump start the vehicle and smoke and burning smell came from dashboard.vehicle towed to dealer.

While we were driving on the highway. Going 55 mph when the lights of the radio and then the lights on the console began to flicker then they stayed dim my vertical would lose power and then would get power lime the gear was slipping then catching. It would make the car lunge foward then stop then lunge toward again .then the a/c started turning off and on

Several months ago the vsa light began to come on momentarily, for no reason. This has happened 50-100 x. Several weeks later, the steering wheel began to be sometimes (daily) not true (at one oclock), though the car was moving straight. (turning the wheel turned the car.) the abs began momentarily firing, for no reason, and the car would slow, sometimes severely. (we were not braking.) the car would lose power momentarily, for no reason, though the engine continued to run, and everything else was normal, with no noise (e.g., no abs). Recently the above happen every day. Sometimes the vsa and abs happen at the same time. All happened when driving straight or turning. We were not driving fast. There were no emergency conditions. On dec 20, we began a left turn at 5 mph. The abs fired for 4 or 5 secs. Then there was a loud noise (not abs). The vsa light came on. The wheel was as much as 270 degrees from true. Sometimes it took effort to turn the wheel. Sometimes it took no effort but the car did not respond. On dec 21, at their recommendation, the car was towed to a honda dealer. The dealer told us the 2 steering bolts were sheared off. They do not know the cause. They note: the bolts are not visible during inspections. The steering and subframe must be replaced. The vsa etc. Are probably fine but we cannot know until everything else is fixed. The dealer has declined to put this in writing. They say there is not anybody at honda with whom we can discuss this. When asked, they knew of no relevant recalls. There has been no accident or other damage to the car. It is kept in our garage. We have maintained it (last service was sep 2013). We are fortunate we did not have an accident. Even after the proposed fixes, will the car be safe? on the nhtsa site, we found 2012/2013 recalls for the 2005 pilot for the same subsystems and similar symptoms.

Cars has noise when you apply brake and vsa light on with triangle light on noise when you drive 10 to 30 mph

Vsa light is on after disconnecting battery. This is very dangerous. Seems to be the same problem as the 2005 honda pilot recall.

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle independently braked without the brake pedal being depressed. Also, the stability control warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred on another occasion. The vehicle was taken to legends honda kansas city (located at 10050 parallel pkwy, kansas city, ks 66109, (913) 871-9483) where it was diagnosed that the vsa module (code 841) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 09644189. The approximate failure mileage was 24,000.

Vsa,check engine lights came on, looks like same problem 2005 pilots were recalled for. Vehicle brake on its own, complete loss of power, happened 2months a go and again 2/3/15. Had towed to shop to have scanned. Very scary situation.

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. While driving 55 mph, a burning rubber odor was detected along with a thumping vibration and noise; when brake pedal was depressed the brakes did not respond normallybut the thumping vibration was even more apparent. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the brake calipers were locking up and ruining the rotors; after replacement of calipers and rotor, the problem persisted with extensive overheating of the brakes. It was then determined that the vehicle stability assist module had failed and needed replacement. The mechanic contacted the closest honda dealer (approximately 70miles away) who advised that the vehicle should be rapaired by the mechanic and not driven to the dealer due to the likelihood of f ull brake lock up or failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000. The dealer tested the replaced part (vsa module) and determined that it had in fact failed due to an internal short.

Stability control (vsa) engages while driving automatically on all wheels locking the vehicle up and rendering the vehicle unmovable. This has been recalled in 2005-06 models.

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. The contact stated that the timing chain became loose due to a leak on the tensioner. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the timing belt tensioner needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 73,000 and the current mileage was 74,000.

Engine side motor mount failed, leaking oil on vehicle frame.

In2009 i had a spark plug blow out of the housing and i lost pressure. Tried to change plugs to be able to drive to dealership. Car was towed to honda and top manifold was replaced and i was charged $3500. Since these were the original oem plugs it was not time to change them. Honda was contacted and they offered to pay half. I have had nothing but problems with this car since. Car was maintained regularly and had reg oil changes. There have been many diagnostics performed and it would say that car was misfiring on all cylinders. I have had the pistons repaired elsewhere even though honda said it was fixed.three weeks ago my check engine light came on, then the vsa and warning triangle came on and i lost power. Took it and the diagnosis is as follows: damaged lifter from low oil pressure, vtec solenoid replacement, corrected oil pressure issues, still getting bleed-back from one lifter. Ts1145 variable camshaft timing solenoid, remove and replace variable valve timing solenoid.this cost $736.00. What has to be done to fix this recurring problem. I am on a small fixed income and you would think if you buy a $30,000 car new you should count on dependability. For heaven's sake, "it's a honda".

After repair shop done $2,600.00 in work, vehicle while in motion on i-40 east, misfired and blow the head gasket, head, and motor according to honda shop. Repairs estimate are know at $6,000.00. The repair shop had said nothing about mileage in repairing the vehicle the first and now states something different.

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.

Timing belt/tensioner resulting in loud noises. Already replaced once at 100k now recurring at 148k.

The car stalls when it is in motion. Each time the car stalls, i bring it to the dealer. The 1st time it happened the car was 5 days old.i was driving on the highway.2nd time i had gone through the ezpass lane and the car stalled.the 3rd time i was driving an express route.the 4th time i was making a left turn and the car stalled in the middle of the turn.the 5th time i was at a traffic light.the 5th time is the only time the car wasn't in motion.each time i bring it in to the dealership--where i purchased the car brand new, cannot find the problem. Because the dealership's mechanics cannot duplicate or find a problem they don't know what to fix. Twice they've replaced sensors.

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. The contact stated that the engine made a heavy bass sounding noise. The vehicle did not stall or experience hesitation as a result of the failure. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the automatic noise control unit needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was 27,000 and the current mileage was 28,000.

I was driving on a masspike (i-90) at 60 mph around 5 pm westbound.all of a sudden, without any warning, everything just went out in the car, the engine just died on me, all the lights on the dashboard, navigation, etc.neither the accelerator nor the brake worked on me.i was lucky enough to pull the car over to the far right lane.but i couldn't turn the emergency signal on because there was no power.in addition, windows didn't operate either so i couldn't even let other drivers on the road that i was stopped in the middle of the highway.i called aaa and the state trooper.while i was waiting for them to come out, about 10 minutes later, the power came back on by itself.so i finally turned the key to the off position and tried starting the car again.and it started and i dropped off the car at the service department at the dealer.i was very lucky that i didn't get into an accident and also lucky my 7-month-old daughter was not in the car with me.this is a serious safety issue to me and therefore, i filed a complaint to honda.after 4 days, case manager finally called me back telling me they will fix the car.the mechanic thinks it's a battery cable problem.i bought that car brand new and drove it for about 18 months with about 40,000 miles on it now.according to the case manager, because the car is out of warranty, there is nothing they can do other than fixing the car "out of courtesy."i don't want to be in that car, not especially with my little girl.they can't even guarantee me that this won't happen again when they "fix the problem" they think is the cause.

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. While driving approximately 40 mph, the engine stalled without the warning light illuminated. The contact was able to restart the engine and the vehicle began to function normally. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer five times for the similar failure. The computer system was reset. The failure continued to occur after the repair was performed. The vehicle was currently being diagnosed at the dealer for the sporadic failure.the approximate failure mileage was 485.

I had taken my 2007 honda pilot ex 4wd to my local honda dealership service center to have the a/c unit looked at because my air conditioning system was blowing hot air. The honda service technician had called me back a few hours later to report a hole on my condenser that was not repairable and required to be replaced. This repair by honda is apparently not covered under honda care warranty. On the honda care website, it clearly shows that the condenser is covered under warranty repair. There is no "fine print" indicating otherwise. Honda claims that the damage was due to a "foreign object" like a rock or pebble while the vehicle was in motion. I strongly believe there is a serious design flaw with the vehicle. The front grill is an open design that exposes the radiator and a/c condenser unit. It is very clear that while the vehicle is in motion, there is the strong possibility that any "foreign object" can hit that are. Honda had quoted me at $700+ dollars on the cost of the repair. I believe that this is absolutely ridiculous that the repair cost must fall on the consumer to pay out of pocket expenses on a repair that is clearly not at fault of any driver and is due to a design flaw on the vehicle. I would like the nhtsa to investigate this matter. I've done some research and apparently there is already a class action lawsuit involving the 2004-2007 honda odyssey vehicle lineup that has a very similar issue with an open front grill design.

After smelling a strong odor of antifreeze, i decided to bring my 2007 honda pilot in to check the radiator. Although, the gauges did not indicate overheating and i did not observe antifreeze coolant leaking, the odor was becoming extremely strong. I was not able to get into the honda dealership so i brought my vehicle to a big o tire store to inspect the coolant system. It was first diagnosed as a core engine heater problem. However, after disassembling the vehicle, it was discovered that a hose leading to the rear ac/heating system was leaking. According to the mechanic, the factory placed the clamp over the hose and not over the nozzle. This directly led to the puncture of the hose and subsequent leakage of antifreeze throughout the entire flooring of my vehicle. A request to american honda to reimburse me for the repair was dismissed since i did not bring my vehicle into a honda dealer. My compliant is to seek recovery of $450 for the service repairs and additional expense to replace the antifreeze soaked carpet as well as clean all remaining residue. I purchased the vehicle new in january 2006. The warranty was for 3 years/36,000 miles. Currently, i have 53,000 miles on the vehicle. Due to the fact that the repair was due to faulty assembly at the factory, i am seeking reimbursement for this repair. Thanks

2007 honda pilot with 2,200 miles. Pulling off the highway on an exit, we saw white smoke coming from under the hood. Not knowing the cause, we pulled to the side of the road (no breakdown lane, so we were mostly out of the traffic lane). We were unable to determine the cause of the smoke, so we had the car towed to the dealer.the cause was determined to be a break in the condenser cooling coil due to a road object hitting the unprotected coil. Searching on the internet showed dozens of complaints of this for honda vehicles (but very few for other manufacturers). Honda said that this wasn't covered by the warranty, but after complaining to honda corporate customer service, they paid for the part. I also complained to the local honda dealer, who paid for the labor. I paid for the towing. The safety issue is that seeing the white smoke without knowing the cause can make the driver be stopped in an unsafe location to do problem determination, leading to various possible injuries or death.

2007 honda pilot only 14 months old, a/c quit working.diagnosed by dealership as a broken compressor due to "road debris".part was replaced at a cost of $600 to vehicle owner, not covered by warranty.due to the design of the large openings of the grill road debris can easily damage this component anytime.honda offered no options or solutions.

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot.while changing the oil, the contact noticed engine oil leaking through the engine block casting.he took the vehicle to the dealer twice.the first time they informed him that the oil pan plug was leaking.the second time they stated that oil was seeping through the engine block.the dealer stated that the failure was due to a manufacturer defect and they replaced the engine block.the current and failure mileages were 5,000.

I was about 1 mile from my home when my 2007 honda pilot started to choke, all my warning signal lit up on my dashboard and my car died. No smoke was coming from my hood. Had it towed to braman honda where they said i had a blown head gasket. There was coolant mixed in my oil, oil in my coolant and my radiator was cracked and both hoses needed to be replaced. My car prior to this gave me no warning of it overheating what so ever. They said my car went to 285 degrees, but i was never given any warnings.i don't know if this has anything to do with my car or this problem, nut the night before when i was driving home from work, my car smelled so bad like gas, that i had to roll down my window . I was thinking it camefrom outside, another car.when i turned my car off after i got home, the engine fan was so loud, i thought i left my car running! when i got home the next day from having my car towed, i noticed the same greenish brown fluid that was all over my engine on my driveway. It must have blown when i got home or was about to.

Consumer has a problem with the honda music link.*nj***nar***a honda rep said the music link system could search and play music from an i-pod . The honda service department stated it would not work as it was advertised . The consumer stated know one told him the particular music link system he wanted was being discontinued. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer to have the navigation system fixed which had been faulty for 2 years.

In our 2007 honda pilot there is no room for the driver to extend their left leg.there's a raised platform to rest the left foot on, but i find that uncomfortable after just a short time.when we first bought the used vehicle, i had both legs extended equally but experienced a situation where i had to stop abruptly.when i stepped on the brake, i found my left foot was under the brake.this seems like a significant design flaw.our toyota camry also has a raised platform but allows sufficient room for me to extend my left leg without interfering with proper vehicle operation.

I got the letter from honda. Based on the letter, the car has problem with the airbag module on the handle.i made appointment with one of dealer. However, it takes 5 months to replace the airbag in order to schedule.

We bought my 2007 honda pilot ex-l in 2009.soon after purchasing we noticed interior lighting issues.specifically, the lights for the buttonsin the ac head unit are all out.in addition, the dome light works sometimes and not others. Everything else works just fine on the vehicle.i have read numerous complaints on forums from others on this issue and feel it is a manufacturer defect as the interior lights typically last many many years on most vehicles.

The bulbs for the climate control buttons prematurely burnt off. Cannot see the buttons when driving at night.

One low beam headlight had gone out after honda oil change. Then a week later the second low beam headlight had gone out. I have no low beam lights!! i was driving when my last low beam had gone out. If i didn't have dog lights and my brights i could have crashed.

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 35 mph, the low beam headlights failed without warning and failed to reactivate. The contact stated that no warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The dealer was not made aware of the problem. The manufacturer was notified of problem and informed the contact to take vehicle into dealer for diagnosis testing. The failure mileage was 25,000.

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.

Very frequent burn-out of low-beam head-lamps (2-3 times per year). Multiple complaints about issue on internet.

Low beam will not activate....hi beam works...both low beam bulbs are good. I have 175k miles on it and both low beams stop working. Low beam will not activate while moving or srationary.

The clips to the headlights break. One headlight has been replaced 6 or 7 times. Both headlights need to be replaced now. Condensation forms on the inside of the headlight. The honda dealership said they have had many calls about this issue but it is not on the recall list as of right now.

Re 2007 honda pilot.the backup lights on this vehicle are extremely weak and virtually useless in situations where the driver does not have other lighting to depend on. This is a design issue, not a matter of repair.

Low beam headlights failed to illuminate the road, especially dangerous when going down hills. Very bad visibility!

Honda pilot climate control panel does not light. This seems to be a common problem in newer honda pilots. It is very dangerous to concentrate on driving at night when driver can not see the control lights clearly. We almost got into a very serious accident on 8/2/2011. Please ask honda to address this issue. These panel light should not go out so frequently on vehicles only 4 years old. Very disappointed with honda not yet addressing this issue!!!

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle began to jerk without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure was unable to be diagnosed. The technician informed the contact that the failure might be related to the transmission. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000 and the current mileage was 148,000. The vin was not available.

I was a driving down a road at 35 miles an hour and i noticed that the d indicator started blinking. Soon after that my pilot lost al power and it started to vibrate violently . I pulled over because i was holding up traffic and i was able to get it home because fortunately i was only blocks away.

The transmission in my honda pilot broke at 100k miles.the same thing happened to my 2002 honda odyssey and honda covered the repair because they knew that there were defects.well the same defects caused the pilot's transmission to become fully inoperable.but this time honda will not cover it.please note that the pilot and odyssey are made on the same platform and have the same parts.honda knows they have a faulty transmission and won't extend the warranty as they have in the past.

This is regarding my honda pilot lx 4wd 2007 model. 5 out of 10 times when i put my car in reverse it will move forward by a few feet, i have to then break and after this the car will reverse properly. This happens even if i am trying to reverse on a downward slope.

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.

Found transmission fluid leaking on floor and can see fluid on under side of vehicle. Technician found leak was from left side of transmission-due to casting spot in case allowing fluid to leak. Date of failure 12/12/2006. Mileage date of failure 572. Transmission was replaced .

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot.while driving approximately 55 mph on normal road conditions, the engine began to rev highly when the accelerator pedal was depressed.suddenly, the transmission failed to respond.the driver was able to pull over to the side of the road.the failure occurred without warning.roadside assistance was called to the scene and the vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing.the dealer stated that the failure was related to the factory clip attached to the clamp of the transmission line.there was excessive fluid leaking from the transmission.the clip should have been removed by the manufacturer at the time of the vehicle's production.the vehicle was repaired.the failure mileage was 55,000 and current mileage was 58,000.

Purchased a 2007 honda crv ex-l awd on 12/04/06. At 1000 miles i began to hear a noise coming from the rear differential upon turning sharply to the right and left at slow speeds. The vehicle was cold during this time and would cease any noise after driving 5 to 10 miles and warming up. Took the vehicle to the original honda dealer and the service dept. Promptly inspected the rear differential and stated that it was a little low on fluid. Service replaced the rear differential fluid.noise is still present when vehicle is cold and turned right or left during low speed. Sounds like a whirring, low rumbling or grinding noise. *honda pilot entered for model crv not available in menu...

Honda 2007 cr-v ex 4wdpurchased from white plains honda, nyon 11/22/06brand new vehicle, 3 weeks old, 500 milesmajor failure of rear 4wd differential assembly - complete replacement requiredcustomer observed groaning noise occurs at rear of vehicle whenever tight radius turns are made at low speed such as turning in/out of parking spaces. Problem occurs regardless whether vehicle is cold or warm. Problem must have been pre-existing in showroom and is likely to be a production line defect. Honda service tech unable to remedy. Complete replacement of defective assembly ordered. Honda service tech claimed that car is able to be driven, however customer is very concerned that vehicle may not respond safely or underperform its design capability when most urgently needed such as during emergency maneuvers while trying to evade a hazardous condition. On the 2007 model cr-v car automatically engages 4wd in response to differential sensed. Vehicle operator does not have capability to manually activate/deactivate 4wd function. Winter driving conditions are now in effect for the driving region where car is registered and failure to properly engage 4wd during slippery conditions could cause loss of control of vehicle. Customer is a safe driver with a spotless record and in 30 years of driving has never had an accident either as a driver or passenger.*note: dialog box options for vehicle info on 'complaint type' pages following do not offer the specific model for this complaint. For purposes of continuing registration of complaint, honda pilot entered in place of cr-v.

The passenger seatbelt mechanical spring is rusted out. Honda only warranties it for 150k miles. This being a life saving piece of equipment it should have a lifetime warranty and engineered with a stainless spring.

Drivers side heated leather seat gets unbearably hot under right leg.

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. The contact stated that the front driver's seat fractured and rocked. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the bracket for the driver seat needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000 and the current mileage was 119,000. The vin was not available.

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. The contact stated that after seating in the driver seat, the seat was rocking. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the bracket and the driver seat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 202,000.

When turning on the driver's side seat heater it got extremely hot. Most recently it actually burned the seat foam and began to smoke. I will not use it anymore for fear of a fire or possible injury. Honda is very aware of the problem but will not acknowledge the issue and has instructed the dealership to ignore as if it does not exist. This is a serious problem that must be addressed. I realize nothing last forever but this should have a safety fuse installed to prevent injury. Thank you

Seat attachment to power adjustment base failed (broken seat bolts). This issue also occurred sometime in 2010 just before the end of the warranty period (less 36k or 36 months), and while at 60 miles per hour. First failure repaired by cush honda, escondido, ca 92026. This is second failure, same issue, at 0 mph.

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.

The drivers side vehicle seat had a slight rock for the last few months...i had it checked at the dealer and they found no problems...today while exiting my vehicle the seat snapped. The front bracket on the left part of the drivers side seat broke. It is an l shaped bracket that holds the seat to the frame. This is a huge safety concern! what would have happened if i was in an accident with the vehicle? (please note this vehicle has never been in an accident and is well taken care of) this is not normal wear and tear and should be recalled immediately to protect other pilot owners!!

The front drivers seat bracket has broken.at first it started rocking, then after a few days i heard a crack and realized that the bracket on the front left side of the seat was broken, when i took off the side covers and could see it.the seat now falls backwards.the car was not in an accident.the vehicle has about 196k miles.given how many others have had this problem, i don't understand why there has not been a safety recall.if it happens with normal usage, then it will happen in an accident.these brackets were not engineered with safety in mind.

Driver's seat rocks back and forth when in motion

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. While parked, the contact activated the heated seat warmer for the front driver side seat. The contact stated that the seat became abnormally hot. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer for diagnostics. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics or repairs.the approximate failure mileage was 140,000.

Drivers seat felt like it was loose and rocking slightly, then about 1 week later, felt worse.i slid it back to see if a bolt came off, and to my surprise, the steel bracket holding seat to sliding mechanism had completely broken off!i do not weight much and the care has not been in accident, so i believe the engineering of the bracket is insufficient and can lead to a serious accident.i was in my driveway when my seat broke, so fortunately, no one was injured.

When i turn on my seat heater on the drivers seat, it gets so hot it burns my legs.

Nylon side panel of the back portion of the driver seat has a row of empty stitch holes just under the pleat where theside and theleather seatpanels are stitched.the holes started to expand and become larger eventually causing a tear.other holes are just beginning the process and are starting to expand.went to my dealer and service managertold me it is happening because of getting in and out of the car. Unsatisfied, he told me he would have regional inspector look at it.she said she could not make a determination and would send picture to a honda engineer.service manager took picture with his cell phone.three weeks later after checking back with them i'm told it's not under warranty and they won't fix it with goodwill.honda advertises 3 yr, 36000 mile bumper to bumper but for some reason, this is not covered.no explanation was given.

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 contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. The contact stated that when depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle would erroneously surge forward. The contact mentioned that the failure only occurred when the air conditioner was activated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the brake fluid needed to be changed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 17.

Cars has noise when you apply brake and vsa light on with triangle light on noise when you drive 10 to 30 mph

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. The contact stated that while traveling 25 mph, the brakes engaged erroneously. The vehicle was able to be driven to the contact's residence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the issue. The failure mileage was unavailable and the current mileage was 93,000. The vin was not available.

Vsa, vtm-4,abs lights is on. Car goes to limp mode.air bag light is on and off.

I got 2007 honda pilot. I read about the honda elements and oddyseys recall regarding with the brakes. I believe that honda pilot 2007 should also be included with the same issuewhy? everytime when i experienced sudden brake i have to step on the brake real deep to stop. And sometimes i have to do double pump ( double brake for better brake). I hope for your immediate action , nobody wants to experience the same thing happened in some toyota's defectincident??? not yet, not yet, not yetbut why you have to wait?

I was slowing down to exit a highway and i gently applied the brakes.the vehicle automatically applied additional pressure on the brakes while making a loud noise.i came to a stop and no problem was identified.i keep driving and same thing happened.the second time, the warning triangle light and vsa light came on as well.this is a dangerous malfunction in the braking or stability system of the car since additional braking is applied when not necessary.an accident could have occurred if there was a vehicle following me.

Inconsistent brake pedal on 2007 honda pilot.amount pf pressure applied to the brake pedal to stop the truck varies at almost every instance.at times, the pedal is spongy and goes to the floor.other times it barely moves at all and the truck stops.this has been going on for quite a while now. I had the front brakes replaced in november 2009.when i had the vehicle inspected 1/2010 i had the mechanic check the front brakes but he said they were new and there was no problem.i was greatly surprised to hear about the recall of the 2007 odyssey and ridgeline and cannot believe the pilot was not included.my daughter frequently drives my pilot and has also noticed the same problem.this vehicle should be included in the odyssey and ridgeline recall.i believe the basic mechanics are the same so how can a problem that occurs on two truck based vehicles not apply to a third?

Applied brakes but they did not work.collided with the rear of a vehicle ahead of me causing much damage to both vehicles. One person was taken from scene by ambulance. My vehicle is probably not repairable and is available for inspection.other owners of 2007 honda pilots have had same experience of brakes failing to work.(all numbers below are approximate as this internet report does not allow stating ranges for the vehicle's mileage, speed, etc.)

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot.while driving fast or low speeds, the contact heard a clunking noise coming from the vehicle.he took the vehicle to the dealer at least four times, but they could not locate the cause of the failure.the dealer informed him to continue driving the vehicle because the brakes were working normally.the honda manufacturer would not assist and stated that the vehicle could not be repaired under warranty.the vin was unknown.the failure mileage was 29,875.

2007 honda pilot with brake problems. Consumer states that it takes a lot of pressure to stop the vehicle and keep it stopped. Eventually the brakes failed completely, brakes finally engaged after stomping on the pedal frantically he states.

I just merged on the highway getting off the on-ramp.i saw ahead of me that the cars were slowing down.i stepped on the brake and the car wasn't slowing down i felt some kind of vibration in the brake.i just kept my foot on the brake and i saw that the car is not slowing down and just kept going.i kept telling the car to stop, stop, stop... And it didn't stop and i knew it i will hit the car in front of me... And it did.

I felt violent shaking when applying the brakes.i took the car to the dealer service shop and was told that the rotors were worn.they would have to be resurfaced and new brake pads applied.this has happened 3 times within 18 months.the first time it occurred, the car was under warranty.the second time it happened, the car had been driven 15,000 miles since it had been repaired when the issue started happening again and the car was not under warranty any longer.it has been approximately 4 to 5 months since the problem was repaired the second time when it started happening again.honda service manager stated that this was a frequent problem with the 2007 honda pilot.service manager told me that they never had a problem with the rotors warping until honda changed its design for the rotors for the 2007 pilot.

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. While the contact was driving approximately between 10-30 mph, the brake pedal was engaged and a grinding noise emitted, then suddenly the brakes began to lock intermittently. There was no warning indicator illuminated at the time of the brake failure. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer three different times for the same failure. The rear brakes were replaced once and the rear rotors were resurfaced twice on separate occasions. The malfunction continued to occur after the repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 29,710.

The brake system in my 2007 pilot with 60,000 miles failed with no warning.when i press the pedal to make a sudden stop the car continues to move forward.it takes the pressure of both feet on the pedal to make the car stop.air is being collected in the lines and has to bled almost daily. Honda diagnosed the problem being a faulty brake booster.at no time was there an indication the brakes were failing.honda claims this is a rare issue and will not cover this safety issue under warranty.

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.

2007 honda pilotvibration at speeds 65 and higher. Bought new tires, had them balanced three times by 2 different tire companies. Dealer (frank ancona honda-olathe, ks)said they have never heard of this before on the pilots. They said that the tires were the problem. There are thousands of people that have written on internet threads and blogs about this same problem. Honda basically said i'll have to live with the vibration & told me it was a waste of time for me to bring it back again.

Heavy steering wheel vibration in the brand new vehicle purchased on 21st july 2007 taken back to the dealer for replacement of vehicle instead try torepair on 22nd july 2007 which vibrates the arms and chest of the driver. Sharp high frequency noise created by side windshields of driver and passenger causes irritation in the ears whichcauses psychological hearing of sound even while wesleep silently. No care has been taken to rectify the sound by the dealer nor ready to exchange the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. The contact stated that the headliner fabric became detached almost completely from the front to the rear of the vehicle. The mentioned that the hanging fabric blocked the visibility of the driver whenever the vehicle was in motion. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

Manufacturer's design oversight created a potentially fatal collision.manufacturer's design includes travel of the brake pedal to positions lower than the accelerator pedal.this design oversight allows the driver's foot to travel lower than the accelerator pedal while braking.this results in the driver unknowingly pressing the accelerator pedal while applying the brakes.i was a victim of this design oversight but fortunately i responded quickly enough to avoid an accident.it could have been fatal to the pedestrian i was avoiding.

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. The contact noticed that after rainy weather conditions, a puddle of water was present on the driver and passenger side floorboards. The water caused the pedals to become slippery and created mold throughout the vehicle. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 97,635.

While driving with six on board (car holds up to 8) i hit a moderate bump.the car made a loud bang, and felt unstable.at the same time, abs, vtm-4, and stabilty warning lights came on.i was in a construction zone with no place to stop, so i kept going.the instabilty seemed manageable,so i kept going to an exit.on the ramp, while cornering even slightly, there was a rubbing sound from the rear wheel area.in a straight line, it sounded okay, but didn't feel right.when we were able to park and get out, the rear wheels were splayed out (extreme negative camber) as if the car was grossly overloaded, even though if was empty.upon inspection, i found that the two rear mounts for the subframe had completely pulled out of the unibody.the subframe had rusted from the inside, so there was no appearance of structurally significant rust until it failed.when the suspension subframe pulled away, it pulled apart the wiring for the abs, etc.this is a very unsafe condition that appeared with no warning.a quick internet search shows that it's also quite common.

I had been hearing a noise as i turn the vehicle and it was inspected in july 2019. Two weeks agoi stopped for a quick checkup before a long trip and was told that it was dangerous to drive. The undercarriage near the wheels has cancerous rust beyond repair.

Abnormal discoloration and corrosion on front grill as well as the front and rear chrome honda emblems.vehicle has only 2,750 miles.dealer replaced the defective components as a one time warranty goodwill". The service manager stated that an investigation by honda pointed to use of mag chloride on roads.dealer was not aware of any improvement plans by honda.pictures available at hondapilot2007.blogspot.com.

Rear door opened while driving.the 3 screws securing the door lock to the door fell out (over time) allowing the door to swing open.

New vehicle taken in after approx 4 mos of ownership due to floorboards being flooded with water on driver and passenger side.dealer advised that problem had been repaired with tape per honda servicing guidelines.one year later, same problem surfaced again and was taken to dealer.dealer removed seats and carpet and found a hole in the firewall of the vehicle.dealer is repairing, however am without vehicle for several days.also questioning safety of vehicle once repairs are complete.

I bought a 2007 honda pilot ex-l 2wd.i am disabled, so i require a hitch, electric chair lift to carry my electric wheelchair.i previously had a 2003 toyota highlander 2wd, 4 cyl, with the exact same configuration.since i have adapted my 2007 honda pilot with the equipment, i have found this vehicle is not capable of carrying the tongue weight load of about 350 lbs, which hondapublished is adequate (i.e. Honda states a 2wd pilot is capable of towing 3,500 lbs and a 4wd is capable of towing 4,500 lbs, which equates to an allowable tongue weight of 10% of towing weight which is 350 lbs for the 2wd and 450 lbs for the 4wd).i have spoken with the chief mechanic at hollywood honda;the hitch experts; professionals at my wheelchair/lift facility and everyone agreewthe 2007 honda pilot can not carry the tongue weight of 350 lbs in a safe and effective manner.the vehicle starts to lower the back end and the front end starts to lift upwards as the weight of the wheelchair on the lift starts to ascend.when the back end of the honda pilot has "bottomed out", then the wheelchair and lift start to ascend.when the wheelchair and lift ascend to its proper height as designed by the lift manufacturer, the lift and wheelchair are in a very vulnerable position which is not high enough to keep the lift from bottoming out and the entire wheelchair and lift from "bouncing" in manner which is uncontrollable, whcih gives the sensation of being out of control.meanwhile, the front end of the honda pilot has escalated about 6 - 8 inches above its normal level plain.if honda has conducted its evaluations in a satisfactory and safe manner as they publish a 2wd honda pilot can tow 3,500 lbs and a 4wd honda pilot can tow 4,500 lbs, then why can't the honda pilot effectively maintain the normal tongue weight of 10% of the towing weight which they stipulate?if you can assist me in making some determination pertaining to this issue, i will be gratefully appreciative.

The tires on the 2007 honda odyssey -- touring model -- are michelin pax -run flat tires.you cannot take the vehicle to just any tire repair shop to fix a flat, you must go to a dealership that has the appropriate equipment.this means making an appointment (waiting a day) and hopefully you are close to a major city.i spoke with a representative at michelin tires and they said if i were to be in a remote location they would send a tire out to me & pay for accommodations until i received the tires.honda & michelin arenot set up to provide the consumer with service/accessibility to maintain this tire.i feel honda should have informed about the problems associated with this product and given me a choice.i would not have purchased a car with these tires. I have 3 small children and now have to be concerned about getting a flat tire in a remote location, and fear for our personal safety.i choose now to only travel near major cities.honda said i would need new rims & tires... And they do not seem to want to help. I am hoping you can provide me with a contact or give me some info on how to get these tires off my vehicle.also shouldn't honda be willing to replace a product that has issues associated with it.when i had my flat tire i took my car to 3 tire shops and was told they would not touch the pax-tire & they had no plans on acquiring the equipment to fix them because it was too expensive and not enough vehicles have the tire system to make it cost effective.honda first needs to better inform the consumer what they are getting into and the issues associated with this tire system... Second they need to provide those of us who don't want the tires a way to switch them out.it cost about $150.00 to fix a flat!please help me get these tires replaced!!!!

Since originally getting our 2007 honda pilot we have had repeated issues with the tire pressure monitoring system. I believe 6 sensors have been replaced. I currently have this issue again and the dealer has said that they have no fix for the problem and the car is out of warranty because it now has 52,000 miles on it. This is a huge safety issue as it is on all the time and i never know if i truly have a problem. I drive on the highway for work and am traveling at higher rates of speed.

Spare tire separated from 2007 honda pilot.cause was a frayed cable that held the tire in place under the rear of the vehicle.the cable broke while the vehicle was in motion, and the tire fell off the vehicle and bounced down the road.fortunately it did not strike cars to the rear.there was no previous indication of anything wrong with the spare time mounting system.photos are available.

Ignition switch has failed.cost of repairing is prohibitive.service department says the tumblers in the ignition lock wear out. Mechanic says only happens in honda cars.seems like honda should fix the problem.stranded without ability to turn key suddenly.

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.

While driving on highway rear driver side window fell all the way down past where it should even stop. This window is seldom used if ever. Bought new retractor, it happened again while changing it.

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.

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.

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.

This has happened 2-3 times during the past month prior to february 27,but i don't know exact dates. When approaching stop sign and applying the brakes, my engine started to accelerate and i really had to jam on the brakes in order to stop.thankfully, i had sufficient time and space between me and the car in front of me.i geared down to d3 and that seemed to get it out of that high acceleration.

Loss of acceleration while driving on highway.

The suv traveleddown a gently sloped driveway.the driver's foot was on the brake pedal the entire time so that the vehicle would move slowly. Approximately 5 feet from the garage entrance, with the right foot still gently depressing the brake pedal and no pressure on the accelerator pedal, the car suddenly and violently accelerated.the driver depressed the brake pedal to the floor but this did not stop acceleration or forward motion.the vehicle crashed into the back wall of the garage, causing significant structural damage to the house and deploying the driver-side airbag.the driver's right shoulder and hand experienced soft tissue injuries.a child was in the room struck by the car.this child suffered a fractured tibia/fibula, a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion), and multiple abrasions as a direct result of the collision.a second child outside of the vehicle experienced an abrasion to the left knee as a direct result of the collision.

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. The contact was braking for a traffic stop when the vehicle abnormally accelerated. The contact was able to stop the unintended acceleration by abruptly depressing the brakes. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer advised the vehicle would not be further inspected because the diagnostic test did not produce any failure codes. The contact stated the failure had occurred four times within six months. The contact stated his foot was on the brake pedal upon each occurrence of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 44,000 and the current mileage was approximately 50,000.

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. While driving approximately 5 mph and pulling into a parking space, the rpms suddenly increased to 6,000 and the vehicle surged forward. The shifter was switched to neutral, but the engine continued to rev. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 120,000.

I was leaving a parking lot in my 2007 honda pilot and had backed out of my parking spot.i was about to turn right onto a side street and was going to make a left on a major road.there was a red light at the intersection.as i was pulling out onto the side street, my tire got stuck on the curb.i lightly pressed the accelerator to get over the hump and the car suddenly accelerated.an eye witness said it appeared that my car accelerated to 30 or 40 mph in just 2 or 3 seconds.i immediately lifted my foot off the accelerator and tried to apply the brake.the brakes did not work.the car continued accelerating even though my foot was not on the pedal.the only control i had over the car was the steering wheel. I was headed straight for a telephone pole and light fixture across the street opposite the parking lot.i believe i hit the telephone pole and light pole several times and then my car swung around in the opposite direction i was originally headed.the impact restored my car back to normal operation.the brakes and accelerator then resumed working again.the front bumper was ripped off my car, the front of the car was bashed in by the passenger side, the windshield had a crack, right front passenger door was no longer aligned and could only open a few inches, the mud flap for the right front tire was ripped off, the right sideview mirror was ripped off, both doors on the passenger side were crushed.the driver's side door could not be opened.the airbag deployed, seatbelt locked and the driver's side window completely shattered on impact.the eye witness was stopped at the intersection waiting for the light to turn green.he said it looked like a manufacturing defect and was shocked at how quickly the car accelerated.it appears that going over the bump and lightly applying the gas pedal afterwards triggered something in the car.

2007 honda odyssey continues acceleration with no contact to gas pedal.cause has not been diagnosed.

I was starting to pull into the garage to pick up my mother and daughter when the accelerator stuck and kept increasing speed and i was unable to get it to slow down or stop.this is a double car side of the garage and my daughters car was on the right side of the garage so proceeding at a slow cautious speed is necessary.the honda pilot proceeded to slam into the two refrigerators and one freezer causing extensive damage to the vehicle, the refrigerators and freezer, the house has structural damage, and the airbag deployed causing the me to jam my toe, fracture my wrist in two places, and sprain my back. I had previously scheduled an appointment for the next day to have the oil changed with the local honda dealer.when i called to cancel the appointment and explained what happen they didn't seem concerned or surprised.i am concerned to find on the arfc website there are three similar related incidents.even though the body damage will be repaired, will this happen again?

While attempting to stop at a stop sign the engine raced to 3500-4000 rpms.i put it neutral and stood on the brake. Theshifted gears from neutral to drive and reverse, and the acceleration stopped with a pop and went back to 1500.there was no injury or accident, but i was scared to death.this was thethirdoccurrence in a week in a 2 week old honda pilot with 180 miles on it.

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot.while decelerating from 25 mph, the vehicle accelerated on its own.the contact depressed the brake pedal and shifted the vehicle into neutral.the dealer was unable to determine the cause of failure.the powertrain was unknown.the current mileage was 3,000 and failure mileage was 2,000.

No crash, however i question the strength of the glass used in windshields on 2007 honda pilots.i have replaced my third windshield in 3 years.

The contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. The contact stated that while driving 65 mph, the front passenger side window fell into the door frame abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis and the vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that two years prior to the recent failure,the rear passenger side window also failed in the same manner. The failure and current mileage was 84,000.

Sitting in car, start car up, get ready to drive out, loud snap noise from passenger door on drivers side. Window dropped into door, tried to raise window, window would not raise, took to dealer, window regulator and/or cable failed. Repetitive issue according to honda repair blogs on internet.

Windshield washer fluid freezes at temperatures below freezing.this has happened for the last two days straight.it also happened one time before.dealers are clearly aware of a design defect with honda pilot, they say there is no fix or repair available, and can only flush and thaw the line.this is clearly an immediate safety issue, when there is snow or ice not having wiper fluid is a very very serious situation.i was 2 hours from home on the kennedy expressway with nowhere to go and unable to see the road in front of me.
