Honda Pilot Change Vehicle

"Had three headlights go out in the past year"

"We have chronic headlight condensation in our right headlight. Even after replaced, the problem remains. Causes bulbs to burn out prematurely, we think, as well, as the right light goes out many more times than the left ever has gone out"

"Had to replace sensor as headlight repeatedly burnt out"

"Have to replace bulbs in headlights about once a month"

"The headlights will intermittently just not work. The brights will work, which is helpful, but annoying to other drivers!"

"Dash switches for both front seats needs to be replaced. Unfortunately seats have not functioned correctly since repair was attempted by local Honda dealer"

"Climate Control and many other dash switch lamps have failed. Two have failed again after being replaced 18 months ago"

"Light burned out and shorted the interior light system"

"Have to replace battery???"

"The key would not open the door. The key battery was OK. The problem was a defective electronic module inside the key which had to be replaced"

"Keyless entry was part of key, battery failed and they cannot open key to replace without damaging key, they want $250 for a new key. Given this is a second vehicle I just use the valet key to drive it"

"Comes on often"

"The dash light comes on with the tire system, but the tire pressure is good"

"Sometimes get a warning light that tire pressure monitor is not working. I just check the tires manually to ensure pressure is good, not paying $$ to fix TPM on 2005 vehicle"

"HAD A TOTAL FAILURE ON ONE. TIRE SHOP SAID PROBABLY JUST AGE"

"Warning light is perpetually "on", even when the tire pressure is fine"

"Light came on intermitently"

"Temp sensor"

"Back step tread on tailgate bumper came off completely with little or no provocation. Repair was inexpensive. Bought new tread for $65"

"Peeling paint, front hood and bumper"

"The exterior trim behind the doors is discoloring and looks like it may peel away from the vehicle"

"Paint is chipping off in a variety of places. I have and use a garage"

"My honda pilot had several dents on the doors and on the side"

"The paint started chipping around the front glass for the past 3 years and gotten much worst"

"ugly fading on rooftop"

"Paint began losing the clear coat on most horizontal surfaces (roof, top of doors next to windows, but not hood) Required repaint"

"Just not a very good exterior paint , they should talk to Harley-Davidson who uses a very good and stong exterior paint product"

"Any plastic body surface on top or left side of vehicle has shown significant discoloration and cracking"

"Rust along joint where roof top frame meets hatch back door frame. $1000.00 to repair. (A little hard to describe)"

"It is rusting above the rear wheel wells"

"some unexpected rust showed up in some areas"

"paint on the rear passenger quarter panel above the wheel well bubbled then rusted"

"Both rear fenders rusting above wheel opening"

"There are areas, generally around the wheel wells at the seams where the paint has bubbled up a bit and it is rusting"

"Behind both wheels where the two body pieces meet, there was rust. Paid to have it fixed, it was expensive, but I can't really complain the car has been great, so a little rust after 12 years is not bad"

"Main CD player doesn't take CDs most of the time"

"Intermittent electric short/wire loose in unit back-lighting"

"The navigation system ceased working in 2011 - I'm told the solution is to replace the unit"

"System won't read DVD any longer"

"Inaccurate route calculations, failure to start up at times - requiring a restart of the car"

"Gps I had problems with the gossip unit since the purchase of the new car. At times it freezes or it recycles back to the main menu and repeats the same screen again and again. The dealership was unwilling to do anything. Seat issue The seat mo"

"In dash nav intermittently " freezes " and does not work. Error message comes up that instructs me to take car to dealer. Dealer does not do any repair or diagnostic work on nav system equipment. VERY FRUSTRATING !!!"

"doesn't work dealer can't fix"

"On cold starts the radio and CD player will randomly alternately play"

"Clock is broken and the entire radio, cd player, etc must be replaced"

"After years of faithful service, my entire radio/cd/dvd interface has given up the ghost. I now use bluetooth speakers and my smartphone as an entertainment / gps system"

"Screen goes blank"

"not clear"

"Very costly to replace seals to stop the leak. Almost $2000 which I am not willing to invest in a 10yr old car. Power steering & oil leaks together would cost $3700 to fix"

"Oil pan plug stripped out. Had to replace oil pan $600"

"Rear main engine oil seal"

"Appears gasket is leaking but not to the point of dripping yet. Have elected not to repair unless it gets more serious"

"During the last oil change, the tech told me that there is some leaking around the gaskets, but not enough to be an immediate concern"

"Rear main oil seal on engine at about 85000 miles"

"I had to replace the engine with a guaranteed rebuilt engine when I was away from home. The rebuilt engine had an oil leak from a seal that was part of the rebuilt engine. The dealer that installed the rebuilt engine did not honor the warranty. I contacted Honda Customer Care about the dealer. While they seemed to be very concerned they said the only thing they could do was to have there area manager discuss the issue with that dealer and that Honda would maintain a record of my complaint"

"Leak at oil pump gasket. VERY expensive to repair due to large amount of labor required just to access the area of the oil pump. Might as well add in some additional money to replace timing belt, water pump, and some other various parts while they are in there so you don't have to pay for the labor again when timing belt is due every 100k miles"

"Rear Main Seal started to fail. Replacement of seal was $1,600"

"there is a definite problem and Honda knows it.check the blogs,,,there is a clear shudder at around 40mph"

"Noticed that the transmission is slipping"

"The radiator cracked causing the anti-freeze and transmission fluid to mix, which almost completely ruined the transmission. Luckily this happened while pulling into a parking space, and the Pilot was towed to the dealership from there. The new radiator and the multiple transmission flushes cost us close to $1,000"

"Had transmission seal replaced, but still leaking. will have to take the car back to a garage"

"Universal joint seal had to be replaced"

"A sensor failed and was replaced"

"Transmission was noisy and not shifting properly but replacing the sensor fixed the problem"

"sensor went bad $400.00 to replace sensor and change trans oil"

"Side mirrors now must be operated by hand"

"Seat broke"

"In the driver's seat, only the upper/back heat works. On the passenger's seat, only the bottom heat works"

"Power window modules in left side front and back were replaced"

"power windows stopped working in three of four windows. had windows screwed shut"

"The driver's side window has failed twice (four years ago and again this year), both times the window fell into the door and would not stay in place until I had parts replaced (regulator, I think)"

"Regulator that controls window movement breaks about every 18 months. Driver side has been replaced 4 times, passenger side once. Never covered under warranty"

"leaked, had to replace"

"Gasket blew that intermingled transmission fluid and radiator antifreeze. Required new radiator and multiple transmission flushes to correct"

"Transmission Radiator failed/rust and lost all trans fluid. Replaced with rebuilt radiator assembly"

"During flush and fill the radiator developed a leak and had to be replaced"

"Radiator was leaking from a small valve. The valve could have been replaced...but it is not sold separately, you have to buy the whole radiator!! It was a $1000 repair"

"replacement of the driveshaft"

"The rear blower failed. The previous year the Honda failed to correct the problem while repairing the main blower motor and controller"

"No personal experience, but Honda recalls"

"In very cold condition 5 or less, while cold sometimes the esc activates the brakes momentarily and then shows an error. I stop the car, turn off, wait and restart and the warning goes away, it can go away when fully warm as well"

"IMy ex-husband was driving the car and did not stop before the transmission blew. He is an alcoholic, so I don't know exactly how it happened. He drove an addition 40 miles after the light came on until the car stopped/died. My car has been in excellent shape, short of when he drove it"

"Needed to replace with rebuilt transmission"

"transmission would not go into gear; going uphill was almost impossible, had to drive 5-10/mph to get to repair"

"Complete transmission rebuild required on what I later found out to be a new transmission Honda had installed"

"Climate system fan makes noises at times"

"A consistent noise over the past 3 months which sounds like rattling bearings somewhere but I can't isolate. Based on past experience I would say it might be the water pump, but there is no loss of fluid or erratic temperature reading YET"

"Sometimes when the AC is on, a whining noise happens; it usually stops if we turn the AC off & turn it back on. It never makes the noise when we take it to the repair guy...!"

"The seals in the driver and front passenger door are obviously deteriorating because wind noise has gotten much worse in the last 6 months"

"Secondary catalytic converter leaked"

"Loose shield and rusted bolts on exhaust pipes under shield blamed by Manuf. of NE chemicals. After all these years , they should have remanufactured the steel parts"

"It became loose, partially unfastened from wear and tear and had to be replaced"

"muffler wore out from age/use and had to be replaced"

"Had sensors serviced once after transmission trouble light came on. Later the transmission light came on intermittently and the next think I knew I needed a new catalytic converter. $1000 to repair"

"had to replace sensor for oxygen sensor emissions. Old one worn out"

"check engine light on"

"Knock Sensor Failed. Replaced same"

"replaced timing belt at 110,000 miles and new timing belt failed after 40,000 miles and 2 years. Failure resulted in substantial damage to engine/valves with cost exceeding $3,500"

"No problem. Just needed to get it replaced but it's expensive"

"The timing belt was due to be replaced at about 210,000 miles. At 202,000 miles it broke. I fixed the damage which included replacing the valves and reconditioning the head. This is the first repair of any type I have done that wasn't normal maintenance. The car runs perfectly now"
