We have owned this truck since february 2019. This situation has occurred on the city streets as well as on the highway. The speed would vary between 35mph and 65mph. While we were driving with 4 small children in our truck, the truck wouldn't switch gears. Our foot would be on the gas, but the truck wouldn't accelerate. Sometimes the truck will be in park and we'll go to shift into (d) and it won't shift. It has…

Vehicle will stall while driving and then fail to start unless left off from 15 to 30 minutes vehicle will periodically fail to start. This happened driving on the expressway and was able to drift over to shoulder while avoiding being run into. The last instance a police officer kindly helped push the vehicle off a busy city street as so i could wait for a tow to the dealership again. They continue to say they…

My 2003 honda pilot's ignition switch started to fail to turn,over the past two weeks, preventing the car to start. I have to take the key out and reinsert it into the ignition, and thus far this solution is working. However over the last several days, it is happening more and more, to the point that i am afraid this malfunction of trying to get it to rotate out of position and into the "start" position will…

Ignition key metal is harder than the ignition lock destroying the locking pins. Have had ignition lock repaired twice already and will require a third repair which will likely require new lock

The ignition switch in our 2003 pilot has a tendency of getting stuck. At times the key will not turn when fully inserted. This has been occurring with some regularity since we got the car in 2012. Just yesterday the key partially turned to where the lights on the dashboard went on, but the engine did not turn and the key got stuck there for several minutes. From other customers sharing, it appears that this is a…

At first there was minor difficulty getting the key into the ignition where it would take two to three times to get it in. Within a week, it extremely difficult to get the key into the ignition so the car would start, taking anywhere from 5-10 each time to get the car started. I tried the spare key and it will not work at all.

I have been having a problem with the key and ignition. The key will go into the ignition but won't turn. Which you can't turn the car on. I had to have it towed to the dealership in 2013, which they fixed the 2013 ignition recall part. Unfortunately the recall for the ignition didn't cover the timber or the key. The dealership wanted of $1000 to fix it. I had the car towed back to my home and the tow company put me…

Our 2003 honda pilot has now stuck us twice. My wife was stuck in a parking lot the other night for over an hour trying to get her key in the ignition. The previous week the key did the same thing but eventually went in and then didn't want to turn to the start position. Unfortunately the area my wife got stranded at the other night posed a definite safety issue. We are concerned she will be attacked and not be able…

Looked in the rearview mirror and saw a tire bouncing 20-30 feet in the air with cars behind me on the highway swerving wildly to avoid the tire. It bounced 3-4 times and then went off the highway into a ravine. I pulled off the highway and found that my spare tire had broken free and dropped onto the…

When driving through standing water more than 3" deep, instead of the water being diverted out and away from the vehicle, it is diverted as a massive wall of water onto the windshield. It is necessary to immediately brake, as vision is 100% obstructed. This has happened on 3 different days. Twice it was during heavy rain, where water was pooling by the curb, but was not yet over the curb. Once it was during dry…
