AT APPROXIMATELY 146,000 MILES LIGHT IN THE 'D' DRIVE GEAR ON THE DASH BOARD BEGAN FLASHING. TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHUDDERING 35 MPH - 40 MPH WHEN IT WAS TEST DRIVEN. LOOKED INTO THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED (FAULTY), IMMEDIATELY.

TORQUE CONVERTERS GET STUCK AND CAUSES VEHICLE TO "SHUDDER" OR VIBRATE QUITE BADLY IN THE 40-50 MPH RANGE.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH DOWN A CITY STREET, THE DRIVERS SEAT BEGAN TO MOVE- SPECIFICALLY BEGAN TO SHIFT BACKWARDS UPON ACCELERATION. UPON ACCELERATION, THE SEAT LEANS BACK AWAY FROM THE STEERING WHEEL SIGNIFICANTLY. INSPECTION BY MECHANIC SHOWED THE SEAT BRACKETS HAVE SHEERED OFF DETACHING THE FRONT LEFT CORNER FROM THE SEAT FRAME.

THE BODY WHERE IT ATTACHES TO REAR SUBFRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH. THERE ARE 4 MOUNTING LOCATIONS AND ON MY 2004 PILOT ONE MOUNTING POINT IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING SUBFRAME TO BE HANGING WITHOUT PROPER SUPPORT. THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND WHEN VEHICLE HAD 218,675 MILES.

IT DO NOT WORK AT ALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL POPPING NOISE. UPON INSPECTING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR AXLE WAS DETACHED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 08790702. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 300,000.

REAR END SUPORTS TOTALLY FELL OUT FROM RUST

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE DEALER (FIRST TEXAS HONDA, 3400 STECK AVE, AUSTIN, TX 78757) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY UNLESS THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT A CERTAIN SPEED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190,000.

TIE ROD BROKE CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL WHICH RESULTED IN ROLLOVER ACCIDENT WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS

DRIVING ON OVER RAILROAD TRACKS AND HEARD LOUD CLUNK . CONTROL WAS A MAJOR ISSUE AFTER. WHEN I STOPPED THE VEHICLE TO INSPECT , I SAW THE FOLLOWING. BOTH REAR WHEELS TILTED INWARD AT THE TOP. I INSPECTED UNDERNEATH TO FIND THE REAR SUB-FRAME ANCHORS HAD PULLED THROUGH THE UNI-BODY. CALLED THE MANUFACTURE AND NO ASSISTANCE DUE TO MILEAGE AND AGE AND LIVING IN A SALT BELT STATE. OTHER MANUFACTURERS ARE RECALLING VEHICLES FOR FRAME RUST ISSUES . THIS IS BASICALLY THE FRAME OF THIS VEHICLE.....AND THE OVERALL CONDITION OTHERWISE IS GREAT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN!

TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS OR ACCELERATE.

CAR ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE 2004 PILOT. VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL KEPT AND MAINTAINED WITH HONDA DEALER. WIFE WAS DRIVING WHEN DRIVERS SEAT STARTED FEELING HOT LIKE A BURN ON HER BACK. STARTED SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING. SHE PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT OF VEHICLE.THE BACK PART OF THE SEAT WAS SMOKING AND SMOLDERING SO IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE SEAT HEATER. GOT THE FIRE OUT AND BACK PART OF LEATHER HAS A BROWN SCORCH MARK AND LEATHER CRACKED. THE SMELL LASTED FOR HOURS. LEFT THE WINDOWS OPENED ALL NIGHT AND LEFT VEHICLE PARKED OUTSIDE OF THE GARAGE FOR FEAR OF FIRE AGAIN. HONDA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS. I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET TO FIND THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THIS IS DANGEROUS TO THINK WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE SO QUICKLY.

WHILE DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT I HEARD A LOUD BANG, THE ABS AND VTM 4 LIGHTS CAME ON ,AND IT STARTED HAVING A SEVERE VIBRATION . THE REAR UNI BODY FRAME ,FOR THE REAR SUB FRAME, MOUNTING POINTS PULLED OUT OF THE FRAME. THE REARWARD SUB FRAME HAD DROPPED DOWN ABOUT 6 - 8 INCHES. THE INSIDE OF THE FRAME HAS RUSTED AWAY, ON THE INSIDE.

WHILE DRIVING MY HONDA PILOT I NOTICED THE MILEAGE WAS READING MORE THEN I WENT. I'M NOT SURE HOW TO GO ABOUT THIS BUT I THINK THIS IS UNFAIR.,

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT MOUNTING BRACKET HAS CRACKED AND IS NOW SPLIT OPEN. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND DRIVER HAD TURNED AROUND AND LEANED BACK TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPOT WHEN SEAT BRACKET CRACKED. DRIVERS SIDE SEAT NOW IS LOOSE AND ROCKS BACK AND FORTH. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AFRAID ENTIRE SEAT WILL BREAK LOOSE FROM MOUNTING POINTS. NOTE: MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THIS SAME DEFECT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED ON THE INTERNET, ACROSS MULTIPLE HONDA PILOT YEARS.

FLOOR ON DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE IS SOAK.

THE DRIVERS SEAT HAS BEEN SO HOT THAT IT FEELS LIKE IT CAN BURN YOUR SKIN. TODAY ON THE WAY TO WORK MY DAUGHTER SAID SHE SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. SHE LOOKED DOWN ON HER SEAT AND IT WAS SMOKING AND BURNED THE LEATHER. THE SEAT WAS ACTUALLY CATCHING ON FIRE. I HAVE LOOKED THIS UP AND SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS TO YOU. I DON'T SEE WHAT YOU ARE REPORTING NO COMPLAINTS OR RECALLS. WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED.

MY 2004 HONDA PILOT HAS BEEN LOSING POWER.WHILE I'M OUT ON THE ROAD! THREE TIMES IN ONE MONTH AND THEN NO LIGHTS ARE ON ON THE DASH.RUNS GREAT BUT IT JUST LOSES POWER.WHILE I'M DRIVING! IT ALMOST KILLED ME AND MY CHILDREN WHILE TAKING THEM TO SCHOOL

GOT A NOTICE IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS

IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT TURN WITH KEY INSERTED AND NOW THE DOOR LOCKS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE DRIVERS SEAT HAS A BRACKET THAT BROKE WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND I ALMOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT CAUSED ME TO LEAN BACK VERY FAR IN THE SEAT AND MY STEERING AND ACCELERATION WAS AFFECTED. I WAS EXITING ONTO A FREEWAY AND ALMOST COLLIDED WITH OTHER VEHICLES. THIS BRACKET IS LOCATED ON THE DRIVES SIDE THAT HOLDS A MOTOR THAT MOVES THE SEAT UP AND DOWN; IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE LEFT SIDE PANEL FOR THE SEAT CONTROLS. BRACKET HAS TWO RIVETS HOLDING IN PLACE. WAS HOPING THEIR WAS A RECALL ON THIS DEFECT BECAUSE I FOUND LOTS OF INCIDENTS REPORTED ON VARIOUS WEBSITES. THANK YOU.

MALFUNCTION LAMP IS ON AND AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON WHEN HOOKED UP TO A DEVICE IT SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG FOR THE MAINTENCE LIGHT TO BE ON THEN THE MALFUNCTION LAMP CAME ON.IT WAS STATIONARY

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, NOT IN ANY ACCIDENTS OR DRIVING OFF-ROAD. SAT DOWN AND FOUND DRIVER'S SEAT UNEXPECTEDLY WILL NOW TILT BACK, RAISING THE LEFT FRONT OF THE SEAT. THE SEAT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT SECURE, NOR WOULD IT BE SAFE IN AN ACCIDENT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THE SEAT FRAME IS BROKEN INEXPLICABLY (PART 81660-S3V-A30). THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A WEAR PART - ONE OF THE METAL BRACKET PIECES HOLDING THE SEAT BOTTOM TO THE BODY I GUESS JUST SHEARED OFF ALONG THE RIVET LINE. A BRIEF WEB SEARCH FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, SO I'M SURPRISED THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL BY HONDA. THE DEALER QUOTED A REPAIR PRICE OF APPROXIMATELY $1,850.

REAR MOUNTING POINTS FOR REAR SUSPENSION SUBFRAME RUSTED OUT, ALLOWING THE SUBFRAME TO BECOME DETACHED AT TWO OF FOUR MOUNTING POINTS. SUBFRAME ROTATED DOWN UNTIL STOPPED BY EXHAUST SYSTEM, DETACHING WIRING FOR ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON SECONDARY ROAD AT 40-50 MPH.

TAKATA RECALL: ALTHOUGH THE TAKATA AIRBAG COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, MY SRS LIGHT CONTINUES TO LIGHT UP ON MY DASHBOARD. HONDA REFUSES TO REAR AND REPLACE AT NO COST THE FAULTY OPDS SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE AIRBAG SYSTEM.

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAG ISSUE, AIRBAG WILL NOT INFLATE UPON IMPACT ACCORDING TO SERVICE CENTER

2004 HONDA PILOT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED, BUT THE DEALER ADVISED THE AIRBAG FAILURE MAY RECUR. *JS

FRONT LEFT BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE DRIVERS SEAT TO THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE SNAPPED. THIS IS A COMMON, KNOWN DEFECT AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

IGNITION. I AM UNABLE TO GET MY KEY TO TURN IN THE IGNITION TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON. SOMETIMES I CANNOT EVEN GET MY KEY TO GO ALL THE WAY IN AS WELL. STATIONARY.

ODOMETER FRAUD, THIS VEHICLE WAS AUCTIONED ON MAR 14,2017 WITH ODOMETER READING 222,805M AND SOLD TO SECOND OWNER BY TAMPERING THE ODOMETER TO 122,927 ON APR 17,2017. I PURCHASED THIS HONDA PILOT ON SEP 23,2017 WITH THE ODOMETER READING 125,715. I HAVE NOT REGISTERED THE VEHICLE TO DMV, THIS NEED TO INVESTIGATE AND SEEKING HELP TO GET OUT OF THIS DEAL. I TRIED CALLING ODOMETER FRAUD SERVICES 202-366-4761 BUT NO ONE IS RECEIVING MY CALL.

SEAT BELT SHOULDER RESTRAINT DID NOT ENGAGE ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEN OUR VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED. . THIS RESULTED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER HITTING HER HEAD ON THE DASHBOARD.

MY HUSBAND (195 LBS) REACHED IN HIS POCKET TO GET HIS WALLET AND THE METAL BRACE HOLDING THE SEAT BROKE. THE SEAT IS NOW NOT STILL WHEN DRIVING. WHAT WORRIES ME IS, WHAT IF I HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT? THE AFOREMENTIONED BRACE SHOULD HOLD UNDER MUCH MORE RIGOROUS SITUATIONS. THERE APPEARS TO BE A LOT OF 2004 HONDA PILOTS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS EXACT SAME BREAK, AS NOTED ONLINE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS FLAW AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER AT THEIR EXPENSE. PER ONLINE COMMENTS, THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING $1200 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE FAILED. I AM BRINGING MY CAR IN FOR ASSESSMENT ON MONDAY, JUNE 12, 2017, AT 1:00P.

HEAT BUILD-UP BETWEEN THE COUNTERSHAFT AND SECONDARY SHAFT SECOND GEARS IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EVENTUALLY LEADING TO GEAR TOOTH CHIPPING OR GEAR BREAKAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA PILOT. WHEN THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK, WHILE RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD ATTEMPT TO ROLL BACKWARDS. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS OR FORWARD REGARDLESS IF IT WERE UPHILL OR DOWNHILL. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES AND EACH TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS BEING RELEASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GENESIS HONDA (LOCATED ON 8931 HIGHWAY 92 WOODSTOCK, GA 30189) WHERE A PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE ISSUE COULD BE THE SHIFTER, AND THAT FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE DIAGNOSTIC FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 188,523.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA PILOT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE REAR SUSPENSION BECAME SEVERELY RUSTED AND CORRODED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

INTENSE SHUDDER EMANATING FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR CAUSING THE WHOLE CAR TO SHAKE. TYPICALLY OCCURS BETWEEN 20-30 MPH DURING SLIGHT ACCELERATION. ABATES SOMEWHAT IF TAKE FOOT OFF OF ACCELERATOR. FROM MY READING, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE INVOLVING THE TORQUE CONVERTER.

GASOLINE SUDDENLY BEGAN LEAKING FROM FUEL LINES UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR SEAT AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND SPILLED LIQUID GASOLINE AND FUMES IN MY UNDER HOUSE GARAGE. THE GASOLINE ODORS GOT INTO MY BASEMENT AND FIRST FLOOR LIVING SPACE.

I HAD A VERY SERIOUS MECHANICAL FAILURE AFTER HITTING A BUMP ON A DIRT ROAD ONLY GOING 25 MPH. ALL 4 OF THE REAR AXLE MOUNTS FAILED CAUSING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE TO DROP AND THE TIRES TO SPREAD. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF I WAS GOING FASTER OR HIT THE BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY. WE HAD BEEN NOTICING A CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE BUT COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS. SO, PERHAPS ONE OR TWO FOR THE MOUNTS HAD ALL READY FAILED BEFORE THIS FINAL FAILURE. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2004 AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT NOR DRIVEN OFF ROAD. IT IS A MICHIGAN CAR SO IT HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO ROAD SALT PERHAPS CONTRIBUTING TO THE RUSTING OF THE MOUNTS. BUT, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD THIS OCCUR. AFTER DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH I WAS ONLY ABLE TO FIND TWO OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING. AS THESE VEHICLES GET OLDER MORE MAY HAPPEN IF IT IS A DESIGN FLAW.

MY WIFE WAS SMASHED BETWEEN AN OPENED DRIVER'S DOOR AND A POLE BECAUSE THE THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARD. THE SAFETY'S PROBLEM IN THIS CAR IS: THAT YOU CAN REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE CAR'S ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING, REMOVE THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION WHEN THE GEAR IN OTHER THAN PARK GEAR, OR ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND VEHICLE NOT IN PARK. MY WIFE WAS INJURED YESTERDAY BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK AND THE VEHICLE SQUEEZED HER BETWEEN AN OPEN DOOR AND A POLE OUTSIDE. THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE IN THIS CAR THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND SHE WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM IGNITION WHILE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL... THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED WHILE THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING OR IN ANY OTHER GEAR OTHER THAN THE PARK STATUS..... THIS IS ALL HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT. STATIONARY AND RIGHT AFTER SHE PARKED THE CAR .

HASN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT THAT I KNOW OF. JUST BOUGHT IT IN MARCH OF 2017.

TAKATA RECALL MY DRIVER'S AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY. IS THERE A RECALL TO GET THIS FIXED?

MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING, TOOK IT TO A HONDA SPECIALIST. WHILE DRIVINF THIS IS HOW I NOTICED SOMETHING WAS WRONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND SHUTTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS WORN OUT. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BUT TO BE PREPARED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WHEN A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 132,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA PILOT. UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS LEANING. UPON INSPECTION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE WELD WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BRACKET WAS FRACTURED AND THE SEAT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT PROVIDED.

WHEN I STOP, AND TURN OFF THE MOTOR, THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. WHEN IT FINALLY DOES, IT SOMETIMES (MOST OF THE TIME) WONT GO BACK IN. WHEN IT DOES, IT WILL NOT TURN, THUS, YOU CANNOT START THE CAR. SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN ON, AND START THE CAR, BUT MOST OF THE TIME, YOU HAVE TO SIT IN ONE SPOT, AND WAIT TIL IT GETS READY. IM AFRAID THAT IM GOING TO GET STRANDED EVERY TIME I AM ABLE TO LEAVE THE HOUSE. ESPECIALLY WITH THE UPCOMING COLD WEATHER.

WHILE LEANING BACK IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO REMOVE MY WALLET TO PURCHASE GASOLINE I HEARD "POP" AND THEN THE SEAT SEEMED TO BECOME DISLODGED FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT LEFT OF THE SEAT WAS NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE STEEL BRACKET HOLDING THE TOP ASSEMBLY OF THE SEAT TO THE BOTTOM ASSEMBLY OF THE SEAT TORE CLEAN THROUGH.
