2012 HONDA PILOT Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE JERKED WHILE SHIFTING GEARS. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER DUE TO THE DISTANCE OF THE NEAREST DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND SUGGESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 137,000.

AS I PROCEED TO ACCELERATE ONTO A HIGHWAY OR ROAD MY VEHICLE IS VERY HESITANT NO MATTER HOW FAR YOU PUSH DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL IT WILL NOT GO AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT LURCHES ACCELERATING THE SPEED VERY FAST AS IF IT'S TRYING TO CATCH UP. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST I HAVE THREE ACCIDENTS NOW. I HAVE TO BE VERY CAUTIOUS WHEN ENTERING AN INTERSECTION OR PULLING ONTO A FREEWAY AS MY VEHICLE DECLINES TO ACCELERATE AS IT NEEDS TO CAUSING PEOPLE TO RUN INTO ME ALMOST. IT IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT DELAY FOR THE VEHICLE TO CATCH UP ON ITS OWN AND COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COLUMNS WHERE CUSTOMERS WITH HONDA PILOTS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ORDEAL AND YET IT'S HARD TO TAKE TO A DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON AND THEN GET IN THE CAR AND IT NOT HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY BUT MY CAR DOES IT ALMOST EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE ON TO ANY ROAD. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE IT CAUSES A LIFE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT START-UP. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE HE DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE MECHANIC THEN REPLACED THE VAPOR CANISTER VENT VALVE AS WELL AS THE GAS CAP AND THE PURGE VALVE. DESPITE THE REPAIRS, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MECHANIC LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V063000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE CONTACT CALLED BETTEN BAKER HONDA (2501 HENRY ST, MUSKEGON, MI 49441) WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND WAS GIVEN THE SAME INFORMATION AS THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

I RECENTLY BUY THIS CAR AND IT HAS 79000 MILES ON THE ODO METER AND WHEN I CHECK THE CARFAX MILES CAME OUT 186000 MILES IT MEANS THEY ROLLBACK THE ODOMETER AND I WANT TO REPORT A CLAIM BECAUSE IT IS REALLY A SAFETY CONCERN

I AM CURRENTLY STATIONED IN GERMANY AND RETURNING TO US IN THE END OF AUGUST. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET HONDA TO HELP ME CORRECT THE SAFETY RECALL ON THE RIVETS SINCE JUNE AND THEY HAVE NOT HELP ME. I CANNOT SHIP MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE US UNLESS ALL THE SAFETY RECALLS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. I EVEN PAID THE LOCAL GERMAN HONDA DEALER TO CONDUCT THE INSPECTION ON THE RIVETS FOR THE AIR BAG AND THEY SAID ALL WAS OK. BUT HONDA HAS NOT CLEARED THE DATABASE.

FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHING FAILED AND STARTED LEAKING. HONDA NOTIFIED THE DEALERS BUT NOT THE OWNERS LIKE ME SEE HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2015/MC-10107367-9340.PDF THE WARRANTY EXTENSION NEED TO BE 10 YEARS NOT 7 YEARS SINCE 1) THIS WAS NOT COMMUNICATED TO OWNER 2) THIS IS A QUALITY ISSUE THAT SHOWS UP EVEN BEFORE 100K MILES 3) WARRANTY EXTENSION GAVE HONDA THE BENEFIT OF 7 YEARS OR 100K MILES WHICHEVER IS LESS WHEN IT SHOULD BE WHICHEVER IS MORE SINCE ISSUE HAPPENS MAINLY AFTER YEAR 7 AND OVER 100K MILES (PUBLIC SHOULD BE PROTECTED FROM THIS QUALITY ISSUE AND NOT THE MANUFACTURER). THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC ABOUT 1,200 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. HONDA EVEN ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN 15-045 HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2015/SB-10107448-9340.PDF ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT NEVER NOTIFIED OWNERS AND THE DEALER TELLS ME THIS NOW THAT THE PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. SEE COMPLAINS UNDER NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11319104, 11220490, 11218517, 11155894, 11105327, 11035765. OTHER HONDA PILOTS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND EVEN MY HONDA DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT HE HAS REPAIRED MANY OF THESE AND SAID HONDA SHOULD RECALL THEM. PLEASE MAKE HONDA EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS AND/OR FIX THIS QUALITY ISSUE ON THEIR PRODUCTS. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT BOTH FRONT LOWER COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS WERE EXCESSIVELY WORN AND NEEDED REPLACING SOON. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER I'M PAST THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. MY MILEAGE 136,648. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY WARNING ABOUT THIS SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FROM ANYONE INCLUDING MY DEALERSHIP. THIS IS VERY COSTLY AND I'M HOPING I CAN GET SOME HELP IN GETTING THIS REPAIR DONE ASAP SINCE IT SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE.

THE WHITE PEARL PAINT IS PEELING OFF, SEPARATING FROM THE PRIMER. I BROUGHT IT TO A BODY SHOP AND THEY SAID IT LOOKED LIKE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE IT WILL PROBABLY SPREAD TO THE WHOLE CAR.
