2011 HONDA PILOT Complaints

UNUSUAL NOISE (GRINDING/FRICTION) THAT PERSISTS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. TOOK IT TO BE LOOKED AT 3 TIMES THEN THEY SAID IT WAS THE COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS. THEY SAID PREVIOUS MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT THE 2011 YET.

MY WIFES HONDA PILOT 2011 HAS A SEVERE SHUTTER WHEN EXCELARATING FROM A DEAD STOP UP TO 50 MPH. IT NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 119000 ON IT BUT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND THIS SHUTTER OR MISSING CONDITION IS GETTING WORSE. I HAVE READ REVIEWS AND SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM HONDA HAS HAD FOR SOME TIME. WHAT CAN HONDA DO TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM FOR ALL OF US?

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND AND CAR WENT TO PASS HER A HIT A TRACTOR COMING OTHER DIRECTION. CAR HIT HER ON DRIVERS PASSENGER SIDE SPUN HER AROUND AND SHE HIT A MAILBOX ON FRONT OF CAR THAN SLID AND HIT A TREE ON PASSENGER SIDE . NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT.

P0301 THROUGH P0304 HONDA ENGINE MISFIRE SETTLEMENT HONDA MANIPULATE THE DEALER TO MAKE FALSE ALLEGATIONS AND THE VEHICLE THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR IT. I WISH TO HAVE THE TRUTH COME TO LIGHT HOW THEY REFUSE TO SERVICE AND TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THEY RATHER NOT REPAIR IT EVEN THOUGH IT IS THERE. I WAS DRIVING AND THE ENGINE MISFIRED. I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE INTO AUTOZONE TO HAVE THEM TEST IT OUT AND THE DIAGNOSIS CAME BACK THAT I HAD TO CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS. IN WHICH I DID BUT NOW HONDA DOES NOT WISH TO REPAIR IT.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY BRAKES HAVE FAILED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE GOING ABOUT 20MPH AND WANTED TO MAKE A RIGHT SO I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP OR SLOW DOWN, EVEN WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN. I HAD TO USE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND TESTED THE BRAKES BY DRIVING VERY SLOW AND BRAKING. THIS SEEMED TO CLEAR THE PROBLEM. TODAY MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER WAS LEAVING THE GAS PUMP AND NEEDED TO BACK UP. AFTER SHE PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE, SHE TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES BUT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. SHE PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND WAS STILL UNABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. SHE HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK. I INSTRUCTED HER TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND TEST THE BRAKES. THIS AGAIN CLEARED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

CHANGED BRAKES AT 30,000 AND AGAIN AT 50,000, ROTORS ALSO. VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE A RUBBING SOUND ON LEFT FRONT. THREE SETS OF BRAKES AND ROTORS IN 50,000 MILES.

I HAD NOTICED WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IT FELT AS IF THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WHERE WARPED DUE TO THE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE UNDER BRAKING. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND AFTER INSPECTION WAS TOLD THAT IN FACT ROTORS WHERE WARPED AND BREAK PADS WORN ALL PARTS REPLACED AND PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE CORRECTED THIS WAS DONE AT 85,000 MILES. NOW AT 98,000 SAME PROBLEM HAS RETURNED BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME NOW THAT BOTH THE FRONT COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS NEED REPLACEMENT. I HAVE CHECKED TO SEE IF THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE AND CANNOT IMAGINE IT IS NOT SEEING IT COULD HAVE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE ISSUES. PLEASE HOLD AMERICAN HONDA TO STANDARDS SET BY THE NHTSA FOR CUSTOMER SAFETY.

TAKATA INFLATORS. RECEIVED LETTER ABOUT RECALL IN JULY 2016. WAITING TO GET INFLATORS REPLACED. WENT TO DEALER STATED WHEN PARTS COME IN. WILL BE NOTIFIED BY SUPERIOR HONDA. HONDA SUGGEST THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED. STILL WAITING!

HONDA PILOT 2011 (<70K MILES). HAD CLUNKING SOUND FROM FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. DEALER REPLACED LEFT SHOCK ABSORBER, COVERED BY EXTENDED HONDA WARRANTY. HONDA REFUSED TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RIGHT SHOCK ABSORBER, WHICH IS AN ISSUE DUE TO THE UNEVEN WEAR. REAR SUSPENSION WAS REPLACED ALREADY TWICE ON THIS VEHICLE. HONDA PREVIOUSLY ISSUED A RECALL FOR 2011 PILOTS, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE SUSPENSION TO FAIL AND COULD RESULT IN EXCESSIVE NOISE OR STEERING LOSS. IT IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING THAT HONDA WOULD NOT COVER REPLACEMENT OF THE RIGHT SHOCK ABSORBER, WHICH IS QUITE OBVIOUSLY THE FLAW OF THIS VEHICLE.

SOME TIMES WHEN TURN ON MY PILOT THE SRS LIGT STAY ON IN THE DASH BORD FOR MY WHOLE RATITE AND ANOTHER TIMES DOES NOT STAY ON JUST FOR AROUND 5 SECONDS I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THAT BUT THE LIGTH IS RED AND THATS MEAN DANGER AND SOMEONE TOLD ME THATS SOMETHING ABOUT THE AIRBAG. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN NOVEMBER 2016
