There is an issue with the electrical system in this car.the radio has intermittentstatic on any station and hands free calls drop after a short period.i have googled this and it is a very common complaint on this type/year vehicle.i am concerned there are other electrical issues that may be more safety related.the dealer did a hard reboot of the computer, but nothing changed.
The dash crackles sometimes a little and other times it crackles constantly all across the dash.if the radio is playing, it interferes with the radio or using the bluetooth.at first it seemed like something hit the windshield and now it's worse and crackles all the time.there was a recall on this recently but not for the 2021 pilot.this needs to be fixed.it is quite distracting and annoying.
I was about to cross the border i was not driving faster than 3 mph when a few functions stop working
While driving for about an hour on the freeway the sound to my bluetooth audio quit. Then the apple carplay would not connect. When i got to the grocery store tryin to maneaver into a parking spot the backup camera did not work when i put in reverse. At first i thought i had pressed park instead of reverse but that was not the case. Not until i parked, shut the vehicle off and restarted it did everything start working properly ( at least for now). The vehicle has approximately 1500 miles on it. I have been reading about a recall on newer pilots (y7y) and was wondering why my vehicle is not included since i am experiencing the same issue. I mention also that twice at about 500 miles i experienced the crackling noise in the audio that has been a problem with the 2018 and newer pilots.
We just got the car from the dealer and it is still less than 200 miles and itā€™s leaking oil. Thereā€™s oil leaks in my garage which i thought was water coming from ac. When i check the oil dip stick. It was empty.
I have a major safety complaint with hondaā€™s computer system. I understand that honda works hard to make their vehicles as safe as possible. With that said, on 7/29/21 around 9:40am i was driving on a country style road. Out of no where with nothing around me but trees the auto break safety feature came one. When this occurred i was jerked forward and got whiplashed. The car went from 40mph to 0mph immediately with no reason. As someone who has had concussions in the past this immediately gave me a headache. Thank goodness no one was behind me that would have rear-ended me.this issue with the auto break system occurs a couple times a week. Sometimes the breaks donā€™t enact but the break warning light comes on and shakes the stirring wheel in which is extremely distracting. With this being said we have brought it up to a honda service member and the response back we got was: ā€œoh, yeah that happens sometimes. Thereā€™s nothing we can do about itā€¯.the car is my leased by my spouse.
This is new honda pilot 2021 trim ex-lpurchase in dec,2020. Miles 3300. It seems honda is having software issues.without on of lane keeping assist system (lkas) feature is activating automatically and taking over driving or steering of the vehicle and attempt to steer the vehicle back into the center of the lane. Basically it's giving false indicator without on of lkas feature and due to this issue driver is becoming panic situation this will be safety issue and this will cause problems for others safety as well(putting other at risk while driving).this is appearing from past one week onwards. Called honda customer care about this issue and informed. They have taken a notes to inform r&d/technical team and suggested to take to service to determine system failed or malfunctioned.
I just bought my brand new 2021 honda pilot i had it for 1 week so i decided to take it to las vegas on the way there it was fine but on the way home i'm coming down i started to feel a jerk in the transmission i didn't think nothing of it so i kept driving. But for a new car it should not be doing anything like that at all so i took it to honda dealer and they did a multi inspection check and said they didn't find anything wrong with it and everything shift fine but when i took it home a week later it's happening more and more especially when it's traffic you will feel it way more i just hope it don't go out after my 60k miles warranty right now it's only 2,500 miles and i feel i got a lemon i already have transmission problems but it just too new to go out right now
The contact owns a 2021 honda pilot. The contact stated while driving at high speeds, the driver's and passenger's side mirrors were shaking and vibrating which obscured the view of the driver. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and glue was added to secure the mirrors in place. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was unknown.
Driving down the road and the sunroof glass spontaneously shattered. Loud band and it just imploded raining glass pieces into the car. Local honda dealer said they had seen several of these including one the day before. However, honda would not cover it even though the car is only five months old and purchased brand new, top trim level.

Driving on 495 in virginia north toward 66 near annandale at around 55 to 60 miles per hour on the beltway, non-toll portion, we were shocked to hear the sound of exploding glass followed by rushing air, like an open window. We looked all around the windows to see if there had been some sort of impact, but all windows including windshield were intact and free of damage. I realized from the whooshing sound that it was coming from the sunroof. The interior shade was closed at the time, but when i was able to safely stop the car, i realized that the glass had exploded upwards. Some small shards were still inside the shade as in the picture, but most appeared to have shot upward and back onto the highway. Apart from the sunroof, there were no signs of any damage or impact, and at the time that the explosion occurred, we looked all around to try and find any potential source of impact in case something had flown up from the road or fallen from above, but there was none (no debris anywhere nearby on the road, no overpasses nearby, etc.).
Within one week of purchase, the sideview mirrors were noted as shaking inside the housing.after a week of driving the mirrors are detaching from the housing.this has created a serious issue with visibility because of the movement but it will be worse if the mirror falls out.the service manager douglas burton and sales manager craig schwinn said that honda "does not have a fix" for the issue.douglas said that the mirrors should be taped down.honda america has not responded to multiple requests for resolution.
The driver side mirror is loose. This is due to a defective batch of mirrors sold in a large number 2021 honda odysseys and 2021 honda pilots. Honda is aware of this issue. Other drivers are aware of this issue and the dealer has acknowledged this to me. At highway speeds, the driver side mirror vibrates and becomes unusable or distracting (i.e. Unable to focus on objects while changing lanes, etc.) resulting in an unsafe driving experience. Bringing the car back to dealer results in them taking the mirror off, putting on more glue, and reattaching. This works for 1-2 months until the glue becomes loose again. According to the dealer, honda has not come up with a permanent fix but does is not willing to install an entirely new mirror assembly. I believe this mirror issue justifies a recall for all defective vehicles and a permanent fix which may include an entire new mirror assembly if a permanent glue on the mirror actuator cannot be used.
When using the handsfree bluetooth function, the recipient cannot hear what was spoken as it makes boisterous/ static noise. This is even severe when the heater fan is on. Both ios and android phones observe the same results. My local honda dealer says it is the characteristic of this model, and this is not acceptable.
The side-view mirror on the driver's side of the vehicle vibrates to the point of the images not being clear.the vibration gets worse with increased speed. In addition, once the mirror is set and starts vibrating it does not remain in place.this is a safety hazard as driver sets mirror and when they look to see if a car is visible in the mirror is not showing proper location.furthermore, the vibration of the mirror makes it difficult to see the image in the mirror.this incident occurred on a test drive vehicle while looking for a car and i was told this would be fixed.i indicated i wanted a different car and the car i ended up purchasing had the same issue.when i called the service department they told me this was a known issue and honda was working on it.the service department did replace my side-mirror with a new one but that did not fix the issue.
Driver side mirror (side) shakes at highway speed.this makes it hard to see incoming traffic on driverā€™s side.passenger side mirror okay.
The contact owns a 2021 honda pilot. The contact stated that after driving approximately 3 hours, the wind shield wiper fluid spray nozzle remained obstructed with ice and the front windshield could not be cleaned. After clearing ice from the nozzle, the failure continued to occur. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer plaza honda located at 2722 nostrand ave, brooklyn, ny 11210 was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 4,800.
Both side mirrors on the outside of the car shake and vibrate causing images in them to be blurry and hard to see. This is a safety issue, especially at night, because you cannot see truly where the vehicle beside you is. Only until the bsm comes on can you sometimes tell a car is beside you while driving at night. Notified dealer who said there was no permanent fix as of right now. On 7/3/2021 a service advisor did a band-aid fix of double sided tape on the passenger side mirror, but it is now shaking the exact same as before that was done.
While in motion, going straight on a highway, my car, 2021 honda pilot touring, with approximately 1600 miles only, had the rear passenger side tire wall separated without any physical agitation from the driver. There was sudden loss of pressure, and vehicle lost control. Vehicle was stopped almost immediately and pulled over, but in that short while the rolling of the tire on the ground caused burnt smell to seep into the car for driver to notice and "freak out". The vehicle was towed to the motor werks honda, barrington, il, where i purchased the vehicle. I was asked to pay for the tire replacement. There has been no other defect or noteworthy condition identified by the service team. This is the same condition as described in nhtsa campaign number 20v725000; "tire carcass may break causing sudden air lossover-cured tires may develop a break in the sidewall resulting in sudden air loss or a belt edge separation which could lead to a tread/belt loss. Either condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash or injury."ref: tire: continental, crosscontact lx sport 245/50r20 102 hthe honda corporate team had published a bulletin at end of november 2020 recalling 214 honda pilot, 2021, vehicles for this exact issue, requiring replacement of the defective tires.since my car's vin is not in the recall list, neither honda dealership nor the corporateare accepting any responsibility. There was no nail or blade found by the service technician. The mileage is extremely low. Hence, the responsibility shall fall on honda to accept and replace the tire. I have been unable to get any help from honda in that regard. The car still is with the dealership's service team as i do not feel safe driving the car until all tires are replaced for free.i will be talking to my legal team for help as my inconvenience continues to grow.
