The car is making these horrible noises. The dealership claims everything was find when they sold it to us. We took it back a few days later for them to fix it and they claimed to fix it but never did. We have taken it to multiple mechanics and they can not figure out what it is after have it at least 3 or 4 days. It's like a vibration/grinding noise. The alignment is fine but it still pulls and the steering wheel…

Paint on roof of car is peeling in sheets to the bare metal. The damage is on the roof between the front windshield and sunroof. It appears to be a bad paint mixture at the plant and honda is not accepting responsibility for this manufacturing default. This car is 5 years old and should not be having issues with paint peeling all the way to the bare sheet metal. I'm concerned as the metal is now exposed and the…

While driving on i65 north of birmingham, al at 65-70 mph with no other vehicles close by, we heard a loud pop and then noticed what sounded like air coming into the cabin. We pulled back the sunroof shade slightly and noticed shattered glass. We pulled over to find about a 4 inch hold in the sunroof with shattered glass all around it. We broke off as much as we could so other vehicles would not be damaged by the…

I have majot paint removal on the roof of my honda pilot. It just comes off in sheets when we are driving. We took it to our local honda dealer and they said we didn't wax the car enough and that was why it was happening. A car that is 5 years old should not have paint coming off in sheets. It is so bad that i now have to worry about the roof getting rust because the paint comes off down to the metal.

When driving on the highway between the speed of 60-80 mph, the steering wheel shakes very noticeably making it very uncomfortable to drive with the vibration. I have had tires replaced and the wheels rebalanced and nothing seems to fix the problem. I have been dealing with this for months and no service station is able to fix the problem. Fearing that something may happen when driving on the highway or when my…

As the driver applied the brakes, the car accelerated…

The rear passenger doors have a safety issue. Everytime we open a door to get in or out of the vehicle, the door immediately closes. I believe it is a door check issue. This is concerning because when trying to get small kids in and out , the doors do not stay open, even if we are on completely flat ground. Also when trying to get out of the 3rd seat row, the door closes on ones face, causing another safety issue,…

Ever since i bought my honda pilot touring many many times there has been a hesitation when excelerating but after the hesitation it excelerates. Until the time i was going up a hill on the freeway i excelerated and nothing happened - absolutely no exceleration at all. I had literally a second to decide what to do. I decided to use my momentum to move into the slow lane - in front of an 18 wheeler - and kept moving…

Takata recall the 2013 honda pilot leaks water into the passenger cabin if the car is in the rain. So much water that the carpet and padding underneath are soaked and water standing on the floorboard of the vehicle. The padding and carpet even after cleaning has begun to have problems and mold because it has happened so many times. American honda admits/says it is a design flaw of the car, but that it is our problem…

The car hesitates and does not accelerate, especially when making a turn or slowing down and then accelerating in traffic. It does accelerate after it pauses, it is very scary to have it stop and not move. This vin was not part of the recall announced today, but the problem is exactly what is happening with my car. Will there be more recalls for this problem? We have brought it to the honda dealer when it was new,…

I noticed a grinding sound when the vehicle was put in gear and moving. The noise got louder when the air conditioner was running. I took the vehicle to the dealer service department to be checked out. The service department determined that the rear engine motor mounts have failed and needed to be replaced. The service technician admitted that this was unusual. I have reason to believe that is is unusual and…

Ongoing disturbing shudder or vibration apparently related to the vcm/eco feature. The relationship seems to correlate with the visual eco display on the dashboard. The issue can be categorized by progressing through three stages or modes as speed and driving conditions vary. The first mode can be characterized as a howling (significant audible tone change) from the engine right before the vibration begins, which is…

At various speeds there is a very annoying shuddering and vibrating and growling at 45 mph to 68 mph. Just when your ready to have a smooth ride on the highway it begins to shudder in eco...on a straightaway while free wheeling and while i am on cruise control ... If you accelerate or decelerate, it will cease for a second and begin again.. I have even stayed at 68 mph to see how long it would last on a straight…
