2008 HONDA PILOT Complaints

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.

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.

HONDA PILOT 2008 BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY, FOR NO REASON, WHILE DRIVING. OCCURRED AT 35MPH ON RESIDENTIAL STREET, AGAIN AT 50MPH ON HIGHWAY. SUNNY DAYS, APPROXIMATELY 75 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. DRIVING STRAIGHT.

TURNED THE VEHICLES OFF AND VSA WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF. CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND THE SAME SERIES OF EVENTS OCCURRED AGAIN. IN DRIVING THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES OVER TWO DAYS THIS EVENT HAS OCCURRED 6 TIMES. NOTE: THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO COMPLAINTS IN PRIOR YEAR PILOTS.

THE KEY WILL NOT TURN IN THE IGNITION. I WAS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE KEY TO GO INTO THE IGNITION ABOUT 2 DAYS AGO, NOW I CAN GET THE KEY IN, BUT IT WILL NOT TURN. I CAN TAKE THE KEY IN AND OUT, BUT CAN NOT GET IT TO TURN. THERE IS POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHEN THEY KEY IS INSERTED. THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND OFF WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENS.

2008 HONDA PILOT. I WAS GETTING INTO MY VEHICLE DRIVERS SEAT WHEN I HEARD A POP AND MY SEAT TILTED BACK. REMOVING THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT CONTROL PANEL, I FOUND THAT A 'L' SHAPED BRACKET THAT ATTACHES THE SEAT TO THE FRAME ON THE FORWARD LEFT-SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE AT THE LARGE RIVETS.
