My 2009 honda pilot touring had a front right tire sidewall blow causing me to change the tire. I am 55 years old and have changed numerous tires over the years. I located the jack, spare tire, loosened the lug nuts and jacked the suv on the passenger jack point. After removing the flat tire, the car tilted forward and fell off the jack. This was a relatively level road. Repeated this after setting the parking brake…

The 2003 honda pilot i own is on it's second transmission. The vehicle becomes disabled and the "d" light flashes on the dash indicating the transmission has failed.

I believe honda should recall all 2003 & 2004 honda pilot for…

The key does not turn in the ignition. We have to wiggle it or mess with it many times to get it to turn, sometimes it takes too long for us to get to it turn, which causes many inconveniences for us.

And we know this is a common problem…

When i turn the key or put the key in the ignition it won't turn to get the vehicle started. I turned the steering wheel all the way to the left and it doesn't matter. The pilot still won't start. When reading the manual, it's a push sign under the ignition but this isn't addressed in the…

In our 2007 honda pilot there is no room for the driver to extend their left leg. There's a raised platform to rest the left foot on, but i find that uncomfortable after just a short time. When we first bought the used vehicle, i had both legs extended equally but experienced a situation where i had to stop abruptly. When i stepped on the brake, i found my left foot was under the brake. This seems like a significant…

I informed honda dealer of martin main line honda in pa of the problem, the technicians told me that all pilot behaves the same, so it is not a problem. However, this is the only car i need to have a such longer distance for a stop. It is not normal.…
