2008 HONDA PILOT Complaints

MAJOR WATER ENTERING VEHICLE WHEN PARKED,CARPET TOTALLY SOAKED,STARTED TO SEE FLYING INSECTS IN CAR,CARPET IS NOW STARTING TO MOLD,THERE IS A TSB ON THIS PROBLEM AND I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE THIS INVOLVES EARLY 2000-2016. *TR

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!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN DID NOT OPERATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SPORADICALLY FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR, BUT CURRENTLY DOES NOT SOUND AT ALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 192,000.

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.

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.
