2012 HONDA PILOT Complaints

39000 MILES AND EGR VALVE MALFUNCTION. JUST BOUGHT THIS 2012 HONDA PILOT. THE DEALER COVERED REPAIR AS I JUST BOUGHT IT. IS THIS GOING TO BE A REOCCURRING PROBLEM? THE DEALER ONLY REPLACED THE EGR VALVE AND DID NOT CLEAN CARBON BUILD UP. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THEY SHOULD HAVE.

PILOT WITH 8K MILES -DRIVING 50MPH + ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN APPLYING BREAK THE VEHICLE SHAKES. POWER STEERING MAKES WHINING NOISE WHEN TURNING WHEEL.

I AM SO TIRED OF MY FRONT BRAKES SHAKING. I HAVE HAD THE ROTATORS TURNED,OR ROTATED TWICE AND IT KEEPS ON HAPPENING. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW.THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES AND IT IS THE MOST FRUSTRATING AND ANNOYING THING TO DEAL WITH. 98% OF THE TIME WHEN I GO TO BRAKE, MY CAR SHAKES, SHIMMERS, AND JUST SEEMS TO BE UNSAFE. JUST BRAKING AT STOP LIGHTS CAN CHANGE MY MOOD. THIS IS MY SECOND HONDA PILOT AND MY FIRST 2008 PILOT DID NOT DO THIS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA PILOT.

VEHICLE DEVELOPED A VIBRATION AROUND 45000 MILES IN REAR AND THOUGHT TIRES NEEDED REBALANCING. THAT DIDN'T HELP AND AFTER VIBRATING ON A 1600 MILE TRIP HAD DEALER REPLACE TIRES WITH ORIGINAL BRAND AND SIZE AFTER DISCUSSING PROBLEM WITH THEM. $1000 LATER I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DEALER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT VIBRATION. THEY REBALANCED TIRES ON HI TECH BALANCER. 275 MILES ON NEW TIRES AND STILL VIBRATION IS THERE. WENT BACK TODAY BECAUSE OF VIBRATION AND THEY DID SOFTWARE UPDATE AND REPLACED RIGHT REAR TIRE. SERVICE MANAGER AND THEN GENERAL BOTH RODE WITH ME I VEHICLE AND THEY AGREED THE VIBRATION IS STILL APPARENT. THEY THINK IT'S INHERENT WITH THE HONDA PILOT. IT OBVIOUSLY IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS NORMAL. WHO WHAT'S TO DRIVE A CAR VIBRATING ALL THE TIME.

TWO OCCURRENCES OF CAR LUNGING FORWARD 10-20 FEET ACTING LIKE BEING REAR-ENDED. FOOT WAS FIRMLY PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CAR LUNGES MANY FEET, THIS OCCURRED TWO TIMES IN ONE DAY. TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, I WAS UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY STOP AT AN INTERSECTION AS THE ENGINE WOULD NOT REV DOWN AND BRAKING WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCOMPLISH. HONDA CARS OF MCKINNEY TX IS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. HONDA HEADQUARTERS SENT OUT A SPECIALIZED TECHNICIAN WHO ALSO CAN'T REPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE.

WARPED ROTORS DUE TO ISSUES WITH FRONT SUSPENSION REAR LOWER ARM BUSHINGS THAT ARE CURRENTLY LEAKING AND CRACHED. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT DID COMPLAIN OF VIBRATING, YET NOTHING WAS SAID OR DONE. HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER MECHANIC TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. HONDA NEEDS TO COVER THIS ISSUE AS I CAN SEE FROM THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. THESE ARE FAULTY PARTS ON A VEHICLE THAT COSTS OVER $30,000.00. THIS IS MY SECOND HONDA PILOT AND I DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE LAST PILOT. CAR VIOLENTLY SHAKES WHEN BRAKING. IT HOWEVER THE WHOLE FRONT END VIBRATES WHEN DRIVING. NOW MY WINDOW RATTLES AND I BELIEVE IT IS LOOSE BECAUSE I CAN HEAR THE AIR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TELEPHONE POLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE LOWER BACK, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

ON OCTOBER 31, 2015 AT APPROXIMATELY 1100 HOURS, I WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 85 NORTHBOUND APPROACHING THE EXIT RAMP TO ARCHDALE, NORTH CAROLINA WHEN A LOUD EXPLOSION SOUND OCCURRED. WHILE I CONTINUE NORTH ON INTERSTATE 85 IN THE SLOW LANE UNTIL I COULD FIND A GOOD AND SAFE AREA TO PULL OVER, I STARTED TO HEAR A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE GLASS HITTING THE ROOF OF MY VEHICLE. THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE SUNROOF AREA BUT I HAVE THE SLIDING SUN VISOR CLOSED SO I COULD NOT SEE WHAT WAS COMING FROM MY SUNROOF UNTIL I LOOKED OUT MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND NOTICED GLASS WAS FALLING OFF THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. AFTER APPROXIMATELY DRIVING 150 FEET, I PULLED MY VEHICLE ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF I-85 JUST SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 62 EXIT RAMP TO INVESTIGATE THE INCIDENT. WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE, I NOTICED THAT I HAD A LARGE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF GLASS SUNROOF WITH MINOR CRACKS SURROUNDING THE LARGE HOLE. DURING MY INVESTIGATION AND BASED ON MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE INVESTIGATING CRASHES OR BEING INVOLVED IN A CRASH INVESTIGATIONS WHILE PERFORMING MY DUTIES AS A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, I NOTICED THAT THE GLASS ON MY SUNROOF WAS PUSHED UP AS IF THE SUNROOF BUCKLED AND EXPLODED. I CAN TESTIFY 100% THAT NOTHING HIT MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 85 BECAUSE FOR SOMETHING TO HIT MY VEHICLE DIRECTLY IN THE CENTER OF MY SUNROOF AND PRODUCE A LARGE HOLE, IT WOULD HAVE BROKEN THE SLIDING SUN VISOR THAT I HAD CLOSED. IN ADDITION, I DID NOT SEE ANY ROCKS OR HARD OBJECTS LYING INSIDE THE LARGE HOLE. FURTHERMORE, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE THE EDGES OF THE LARGE HOLE OF MISSING GLASS WAS POSITIONED IN A UPWARD POSITION AND USUALLY WHEN GLASS IS BROKEN, IT CAVES INWARD AND NOT OUTWARD. THEREFORE, AFTER SPENDING APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES LOOKING AT MY SUNROOF THAT EXPLODED, I DROVE IT BACK HOME AND I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND OBTAINED PHOTOGRAPHS.

RIGHT SIDE WINDSHIELD CLOSURE/TRIM (GARNISH - PART NUMBER 73152 - SZA - 01ZA) BLEW OFF WHILE TRAVELING AT INTERSTATE SPEED. SAW / HEARD SOMETHING HIT THE TOP PART OF THE WINDSHIELD AND ROOF. THOUGHT IT CAME FROM VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. DID NOTICE VEHICLE BEHIND ME PULLED OVER. DIDN'T NOTICE MISSING PC UNTIL CLEANING WINDSHIELD A COUPLE WEEKS LATER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE BEFORE GOING INTO A HIGHER SPEED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,839.
