2005 HONDA PILOT Complaints

SRS WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT. CANNOT AFFORD DIAGNOSTICS TEST OR NEW SENSORS. SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR SAFETY. MANY OTHER HONDA PILOT OWNERS HAVE SAME PROBLEM. THANKS *TR

RECENTLY MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS NOT GOING OFF, TOOK IT IN FOR A "$98.90 DIAGNOSIS" FOR THEM TO DETERMINE THERE IS NO SIGNAL FROM EITHER IMPACT SENSOR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IN MY EYES AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ MANY OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM BEING TOLD IT WILL COST ME $477.00 TO FIX THIS ISSUE, $127 FOR PARTS AND $350 FOR LABOR, I CAN'T AFFORD THIS RIGHT NOW. THIS IS PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVEN'T HAD AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAGS HAVE EVER DEPLOYED, I HOPE I NEVER DO. YOU NEED TO FIX THIS HONDA! MAKE THE RIGHT CALL AND RECALL THE 2005 PILOT FOR THIS ISSUE PLEASE! *TR

HONDA PILOT 2004'S COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS CRACKED. IF IT IS TOTALLY BROKEN OFF. IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS CAR STEERING PROBLEM OR CRASH. I HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN ON EVERY SINGLE 2004 HONDA PILOTS THAT MY FRIENDS HAD AS WELL MY OWN HONDA PILOT AND POSSIBLE LATER YEARS OF HONDA PILOTS. *TR

TRANSMISSION SHUDDER BETWEEN 35-40 MPH. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSED BY A FAILING TORQUE CONVERTER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2005 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE OVER HEATED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACTS RESIDENCE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION PUSHED WATER INTO THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL ON OTHER PARTS AND WE TOLD THEM THE AIRBAG SAFETY RESTRAINT LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. WE WERE TOLD THE DIAGNOSIS WOULD COST 38 DOLLARS PLUS TAX. THEY DIAGNOSED FAULTY LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT AIRBAG SENSORS. THEY TOLD US IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. THIS ITEM WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE AT OUR EXPENSE. AFTER MUCH OBJECTION THEY SAID " SORRY THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT". WITH THAT WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR AT A LATER DATE AND PARTS WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED. THE DEALER SENT US ON OUR WAY KNOWING IF WE CRASHED, ESPECIALLY IN A FRONT END IMPACT, THE AIRBAGS ON THEIR PRODUCT THEY SOLD TO US AS "SAFE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY" WOULD NOT DEPLOY. UNACCEPTABLE!! PLEASE HELP. *TR
