2008 Honda Pilot Complaint Log

Referring to my 2008 Honda Pilot, as I was pulling into my driveway I heard a very loud bang in the rear area of my vehicle. When I looked underneath the vehicle I could see the rear subframe had rusted through and detached. This is my main vehicle that I use on a daily basis to provide rides to family members. 3 weeks before this happened I had 7 people in this car that I drove approximately 30 miles one way which had us on the highway doing 70 mph. Please note that is the speed limit on that highway. Had the subframe broke off at that time it would have been catastrophic. Honda America requested I have it towed to the nearest Honda dealer to diagnose it. It happened on March 11, 2026 and was towed to the dealer that same day, with an appointment to be looked at on Friday March 13, 2026. The dealer diagnosed the subframe detached due to rust and had notified Honda America of this fact. Honda America just notified me today (Monday, March 30, 2026) that they will not assist me in anyway as this particular model Honda has not been recalled or is the result of any defects. There was no prior warning light to warn me.

Rear Subframe Body Mount Rust

Had vehicle in for state inspection and was told the rear crossmember where the rear wheel assembly bolts into was rusting and should be fixed immediately.

Failure of Honda Pilot OEM jack. On 11/04/24 I was jacking up the right rear wheel of my 2008 Honda Pilot when the OEM scissor jack I was using suddenly and loudly broke, allowing the wheel to come down violently. Note that I was jacking the vehicle on a firm, level surface, using the reinforced jacking point as instructed in the vehicle manual, and that the vehicle did NOT fall off of the jack; the jack simply broke. I removed the jack from under the vehicle and inspected and tested it. The threaded rod in the jack would no longer turn smoothly and when testing the jack, it would not lift any weight without falling back down. Summary: Failure of 2008 Honda Pilot jack Failure did put me at risk when jacked wheel suddenly fell. Jack has not been inspected or tested by dealer, etc, Jack failed without warning. Incident not reported to police, insurance, etc. Jack IS available for inspection.

I could hear a loud grinding noise while driving and the rear of the truck felt like it was driving without any type of suspension. Any bump or slight imperfection in the roadway felt like metal banging and a severe thump could be felt inside the vehicle. The front of the vehicle felt fine but the rear felt extremely strange and unstable.

the VSA and danger triangle lights are on

Hello, I have a set of 4 Bridgestone Dueler LX tires that have been cracking for the past 8 months and now appear to be separating in between the treads. I’ve had America’s Tire Company look at them within the past 6 months and they always seem to state that it’s normal, but the cracks seem to be getting bigger and bigger. The wheels vibrate some, even after several re-balancing attempts. The tires were purchased on [XXX] and I don’t feel safe driving on these tires anymore to the point that I really hesitate driving on the freeway now for that they might fail/explode. I will be submitting a call/claim directly with Bridgestone at 800-847-3272 tomorrow as well. The tire size is P235/70R 16. There has been no incident yet, so I will use today's date. Of the photos uploaded, IMG's 3506 and 3507 were recently placed in the rear and IMG 3508 are in the back. Here are the DOT #'s in no particular order: [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Left headlight went out in July 2023 while traveling in Oklahoma. I had it replaced at a NAPA shop in Kansas shortly after. The headlight went out again while home in Charleston, SC in November 2023. I had it replaced again. 2 weeks later around roughly November 15th 2023 the light went out again.

Driving 2008 Honda Pilot with Firestone WeatherGrip P235/70R16 at 70mph on the interstate, the rear driver tire failed causing almost instant and complete deflation. The tires have been maintained properly, to include rotation and proper inflation. The tires have less than 10k miles (65k mile warranty) and are one year old. Based on my knowledge, experience and evidence (attached photo), this failure was not caused by common road hazards, misapplication or abuse. Rather, the failure is a result of material failure of the tire.

When in the service garage for a noise, our independent service mechanic confirmed that the body of the Pilot has rusted from the frame.

Passanger seatbelt will not retract. Took to dealership and was told there would be a $150 inspection fee before they would even look at it. Because it is a safety item no third parties are permitted to sell them. Understand that the part eventually wears out, but the dealership gouging coustomers is excessive. Right to repair should extend to seatbelts.

My car accelerated on its own and when I applied the brakes, they didn’t work. I hit a tree on my property and damaged my property and my car.

STATE INSPECTION FAILD, check engine light, bank 1 Catalytic Converter Internal Failure and bank 2 Catalytic converter Internal Failure, passenger side axle to be leaking, power steering pump to be leaking, power steering reservoir tank to be leaking, front and rear brake pad

2008 Honda pilot Rear subframe on both sides rotted out! horrible design! Lots of Honda pilots with this issue!! you could've killed my family due to this!! This is a known issue now take care of your buyers!!!

I was starting my car and the steering column started smoking and smelling burnt. It was able to start up but started up rough. Car then turned off and when tried to turn on it would no longer start up again or even when key turned to start position was unable to move the car out of park. This happened on 12/03/2021 but has yet to be inspected due to mechanic has not had time. The safety of myself, son, and grandson was at risk due to the potential of it catching fire if smoking and burnt smell along with unable to move car out of park and could have been in an unsafe location and could have caused an accident. There were no warnings of any kind prior to the failure with the car.

WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY IN ANY CONDITION THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY WARNING WILL MAKE A BANG NOISE, SHUDDER AND BRAKE WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE VSA LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY UNTIL AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THE VSA RECALL WAS not applicable to THE VEHICLE yet it CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. MY Mechanic advised me of a VSA code 25-1. I did a google search and found numerous accounts of this happening to people. My daughter was extremely emotionally impacted by this when it happened to her at freeway speeds. While the fix is replacement of an expensive component, there is no guarantee that it will eliminate the condition. I have been a loyal honda owner for over 40 years and find it unbelievable that the company has not taken ownership of this incredibly dangerous design flaw.

HEATER AND AC HAS WORKED JUST FINE SINCE I BOUGHT THE SUV. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY FRONT CABIN HAS STOP BLOWING HOT AIR WHEN HEATER IS ON. IT WORKS JUST FINE IN THE BACK CABIN. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING IN TO THIS AND CAME TO FIND OUT THIS HAS BEEN A ISSUE WITH EVERYONE I HAVE INQUIRED THAT HAS OWNED A HONDA PILOT AND REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE I AM HAVING .

WHEN YOU APPLY BRAKES ABOVE 30 MPH STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND BRAKES PULSE.DTC 84-1 AND ABS SYSTEM TEST SAYS THAT THE VSC/ABS LOSES COMMUNICATION ABOVE 30 MPH WITH NO NUMBER CODE SHOWN.

NEW CAR, PROBLEMS JUST UNCOVERED.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT WORK WHEN THE HONDA PILOT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE.I WENT THRU A FENCE AND SLAMMED INTO ANOTHER CAR CAUSING DAMAGE.

I CAN BE DRIVING LIKE ON FREEWAY AND CAR RUNS GOOD BUT AS SOON AS I EITHER STOP OR GET READY TO TURN ON STREETS I GET A VSA LIGHT COMING ON AND CHECK ENGINE. I HAVE FOLLOWED WHAT THE MANUFACTURES MENTIONS IN BOOK TO TURN OF CAR AND THEN TURN BACK ON. THEN I GET SOMETIMES THE ENGINE LIGHT TO STAY ON OR IT DOES STAY ON. SO I HAVE NOTICED THIS HAPPENING OFTEN WHEN I GOT LESS THAN 50 CAR WITH LIKE SHAKE AND ENGINE WILL NOT ALLOW FOR CAR TO MOVE IN GEAR.

WHILE BACKING INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED CAUSING THE CAR TO SLAM INTO THE CONCRETE PART OF THE ATTACHED GARAGE TOTALING THE SUV

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE REAR OF THE CAR STARTED SWAYING SLIGHTLY. SEVERAL PASSING MOTORISTS MOTIONED ME TO PULL OVER. UPON INSPECTION, WE NOTICED THE REAR CHASSIS ON BOTH SIDES HAD PULLED AWAY FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE REAR WHEELS TO TILT IN FROM THE TOP AND OUT FROM THE BOTTOM.

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO THE WELDED NUTS THAT HOLD THE LICENSE PLATE ON THE REAR CARGO DOOR ON MY 2008 HONDA PILOT. BOTH OF THE NUTS WERE WELDED ON A VERY THIN METAL FRAME INSIDE THE REAR CARGO DOOR AND FROM THE WEIGHT OF MY LICENSE PLATE FRAME AND FROM THE VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING OVER THE YEARS, THE NUTS COMPLETELY BROKE OFF WHERE THEY WERE WELDED. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO ATTACH THE REAR LICENSE PLATE TO THE REAR CARGO DOOR AND IN MOST STATES THAT'S A TRAFFIC VIOLATION. I CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE WITH THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY SO HONDA WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE. MY 2008 HONDA PILOT HAS 80,000 MILES AND IS 11 YEARS OLD, THIS PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY WEAR AND TEAR OVER THE YEARS AND HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL REPAIRS! IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO WITH THE SAME BODY STYLE AS MY 2008 HONDA PILOT, IF SO WE ALL NEED TO STAND UP AND DEMAND A RECALL CAMPAIGN. SO LET'S ALL TOGETHER DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!

DRIVER SEAT, FRONT BOTTOM LEFT CORNER METAL BRACKET HOLDING SEAT IN PLACE BROKE. SEAT ACTS LIKE A "ROCKING" CHAIR CONSTANTLY. VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AS YOU ARE ALWAYS SHIFTING IN YOUR SEAT.

WAS IN A FRONT END ACCIDENT GOING 30 MPH AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE PERAON I TBONED ALL OF HIS DEPLOYED. NONE OF MINE WENT OFF.

BRACKET THAT HOLDS DRIVERS SEAT TO BASE MADE A POPPING SOUND TODAY WHEN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, AND AFTER ACCELERATETING FROM THE STOP SIGN THE DRIVERS SEAT BEGAN TO RECLINE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I DISCOVERED THAT THE I BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE SEAT TO THE BASE HAD SHEARED OFF. THIS BRACKET IS RIVETED TO THE SEAT ITSELF BUT SHEARED OFF ADJECENT TO WHERE IT IS RIVETED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, THE SEAR SHOULD NOT BREAK FROM DAILY USE! THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS IT COULD BECOME POTENTIALLY FATAL.

WINCHESTER VA 22602 NOV 23 2018 7:38 PM . THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT IN THE DRIZZLE ON VERY DARK ROAD. I HAD TO KEEP HITTING THE HIGH BEAMS AND RUN ON THE DRIVING LIGHTS. WHILE HITTING THE HIGH BEAMS WHEN POSSIBLE.THIS SAME PROBLEM WAS RECALLED ON EARLIER MODELS OF HONDA PILOTS BUT IT DOES NOT COVER MINE AFTER GOING TO REPAIRPAL THIS IS A 9 MODEL YEAR PROBLEM.YOU CAN READ POST AFTER POST ON DIFFERENT SITES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL IN THE CAR AT THE TIME.

MY VSA WARNING LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON WHILE INFLATING MY TIRES PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I RAN A CODE SCAN ON IT AND NOTHING CAME UP.IF HONDA HAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY, WHY DIDN'T THEY INCLUDE THE PILOT AS WELL, BOTH HAVE THE SAME CHASSIS.

MY ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND WENT I CHECKED THE CODE P0741 STATED TORQUE CONVERTER STUCK OFF.

PILOT LOSES POWER UPON ACCELERATION AFTER SLOWING OR STOPING. IT APPEARS THAT IT IS GOING TO STALL WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE ON SHARP LEFT TURNS (EXAMPLE: LEFT TURN AT LIGHT OR STOP SIGN). IT HAS ON RARE OCCASION HAD THE ISSUE WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP AND GOING STRAIGHT OR TURNING RIGHT BUT MOSTLY WHEN LEFT TURNS ARE MADE. PILOT WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY WERE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE ONE TIME WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND U-TURN BUT WERE UNABLE TO GATHER THE ERROR CODE OR IDENTIFY THE EXACT PROBLEM. BASICALLY WE WERE TOLD IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE SINCE THE CODE LIGHT ON DASH FLASHES AS POWER IS LOST TEMPORARILY AND IF YOU KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL, POWER WILL BE RESTORED AND ERROR CODE IS TURNED OFF (TAKES JUST A COUPLE SECONDS FOR THE WHOLE ISSUE TO TAKE PLACE). SPEEDS ARE LESS THEN 15MPH OR STOPED THEN TAKING OFF. HAVE HAD THE ISSUE TAKE PLACE APPROXIMATELY 20-30 TIMES OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS.

AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AFTER HONDA LOOKED AT IT TWICE

REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DROPPED. IT SHOULD NOT FAIL IN THIS WAY THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY BUT IT COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN IN MOTION. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN OR PART. I HAD THE DEALER REPLACE AND INSTALL PART AT MY COST. QUICK WEB SEARCH SHOWED THIS HAPPENING TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE.

THE L-BRACKET THAT SECURES THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT TO THE SEAT FRAME BROKE - IT SHEARED AWAY FROM THE RIVETS THAT ATTACHED TO THE FRONT LEFT OF THE DRIVERS SEAT AND THE SEAT IS NOW LOOSE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS THE SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH WHEN TURNING AND ACCELERATING. A HONDA DEALER QUOTED A PRICE OF $3000 TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SEAT FRAME. THIS SEEMS TO BE A FREQUENT ISSUE WITH OLDER HONDA PILOTS.
