This vehicle appears to have faulty brakes - either by design or by manufacturing. While i cannot comment on the chances of brake failure but the performance of the brakes is unsatisfactory and unpredictable. I'm fairly confident i'm not the only one affected. I would personally investigate the brakes on the current generation honda pilots as they appear to be a potential safety issue. But, the decision to undertake…

This might be an unknown issue, but upon startup, the brake pedal is very stiff and hard. Few times, i couldn't start the car because the brake was so stiff, i couldn't press on it with my foot, and it went into accessory mode. I took it to 3 different dealers, they keep telling me that it's normal. Advantage honda tried replacing the battery, but that didn't help. All they could do is a multipoint diagnostic on it,…

Service Brakes
Purchased our 2017 pilot straight from dealer in feb 2017; by summer, brakes would squeak when pressure applied - got much worse over time. Sent multiple videos over next 12 months, had car in for repair at least once a month - service dept could never resolve issue, despite replacing brake pads and entire brake system. Per dealership, american honda motors refuses to acknowledge problem despite dealership doing so.
