general problems of the 2004 Honda Pilot

When I took my car for tire installation at walmart on [xxx] , the technician declined to install the tires, he stated "your vehicle is unsafe to lift up for tire installation because of rust". I was on my driving it to a body shop when something snapped near the right rear tire after I hit pot holes. I felt it was unsafe to continue I decided to drive it slowly back home and parked it. I fear to drive it again to avoid causing accidents to myself and to other motorists. The car engine runs good and there are no problem lights on my car dashboard. The car interior is still good. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Went to go trade my car in and I was told that the car-fax is showing a potential odometer rollback indicated, I have made a few calls and I am not getting any help. I am very concerned and would like some help with this please thank you.

When getting work done by licensed mechanic, I was told that there was a problem with the rear frame being soo rusted that the shock absorber was not attached because there was nothing left to attach it to. I was told they couldn't fix it and I should consider getting rid of it.

Convertor spitting metal which lead to my transmission going bad.

While driving my Honda Pilot I noticed the mileage was reading more then I went. I'm not sure how to go about this but I think this is unfair. ,.

Malfunction lamp is on and airbag light coming on when hooked up to a device it said nothing was wrong for the maintence light to be on then the malfunction lamp came on. It was stationary.

Ignition. I am unable to get my key to turn in the ignition to turn the vehicle on. Sometimes I cannot even get my key to go all the way in as well. Stationary.

Odometer fraud, this vehicle was auctioned on Mar 14,2017 with odometer reading 222,805m and sold to second owner by tampering the odometer to 122,927 on Apr 17,2017. I purchased this Honda Pilot on Sep 23,2017 with the odometer reading 125,715. I have not registered the vehicle to dmv, this need to investigate and seeking help to get out of this deal. I tried calling odometer fraud services 202-366-4761 but no one is receiving my call.

Hasn't been in an accident that I know of. Just bought it in March of 2017.

Ignition key gets stuck in the ignition and does not turn. Several people have complained about this problem, but Honda is charging for the known defect in the tumbler system used with their special key system. People are told that this is normal wear, but this does not make sense that all cars expire at the same time and the fix involves replacing the entire ignition including the keys, leaving the owner with one set of keys for the doors and a new set for the ignition. My question, if the keys are worn, how do they still work for the doors. Once the switch is broker, the car will not start and the key feels like it is the wrong key.

While driving to work this morning (cold morning, on city street) I turned my driver seat heater on high. The driver side seat heater was on for about 20 minutes when suddenly the back became very hot. It started to smell and my back was slightly scalded before I realized what was happening. I quickly turned my seat heater off and soon after turned my car off to investigate. The back portion of the seat (middle spot) was still very hot to touch and remained that way for at least 15 minutes in 35 degree weather! my car and especially the driver side seat has a burnt rubber odor. I truly feel that if I had not turned my seat heater off when I did, that it would have caught fire with me driving! no I'm afraid to utilize the seat heater. Honda needs to do something about this via replacement of faulty wiring or element before something more serious happens to someone!.

Suddenly car started making bad noise from engine. I went to store to fix it. They saying its factory recall and we can't fix it. I didn't find any information from your website. Also it's very risky. I suppose to drive my car from michigan to virginia but the auto technican told me wil be risk it's will stop your wheel and you will in big accident. Sears auto didn't fix my car. They refer me to go Honda dealer for recall issue. Please advice me. Thanks.

The 2004 Honda Pilot had a recall notice affecting the ignition (NHTSA reference #12v573000). My key was able to be removed without the vehicle being in park. The exact symptoms of the recall. I checked with Honda and they said my vehicle was already fixed. I took it in and they did fix the car, but claimed it had nothing to do with the recall. Either there is a secondary issue that needs to be addressed or they are being less than truthful. I had to pay over $500 for what I believe should have been covered under the recall.

Steering wheel locked, key would not turn nor come out, gear could not be changed. Vehicle would not start. Pilot's ignition would not work at all.

I have 2004 Honda Pilot lx. When traveling at about 30-50 mph. Hear and feel a vibration when at consistent speed. Seems as if it's coming from the bottom of the vehicle. Maybe from a drive shaft or propeller shaft or something. It's getting much and much worst as days goes by. I am worried something can come loose when vehicle in moving motion.

When the driver side heated seat is turned on the seat gets so hot that it literally burns the skin on anyone sitting in the seat. It happens on both low or high setting. The seat then begins to emit smoke.

I was driving in the highway then my car wouldn't go fast when I stop to se what happen there was smoke coming out of my engine took it to mechanic he told me it was a transmission problem we goggle around before trying to fix it and it says thus type of situation is been recall already.

In may 2013 I received a letter stating that the sunroof had a defect. Claim #13002294p was opened and I was directed to s & c in hiawatha (319-393-2591) and on may 31, 2013, I took my vehicle in for the recall. The sunroof started to leak when it rained so I had it checked by safelite auto glass who inspected the drain tubes and confirmed they were not clogged. I tried to contact s & c to correct the issue with the webasto sunroof and the business was closed. I contacted webasto to see if they could confirm that the service center (s & c) had actually replaced the sunroof. Webasto directed me to the next nearest service center, mid iowa truck & upholstery, 1628 s. Duff avenue, ames, IA 50010 (515-232-4343) which is 2-hours away and webasto could not guarantee that the service call would be covered under the warranty. When driving the vehicle you can hear an increase in the air coming through the sunroof. I frequently transport my granddaughter and I'm concerned that the glass may come out of its frame as stated in the recall.

I'm having trouble with my 2004 lx, no keyless remote on this model. The drivers side door lock quit working, the key goes in with difficulty and won't turn, won't unlock the door. Resorted to using the rear door lock to get in and now that lock has developed the same problem. Now have just the passenger side door to unlock from the outside. Now the ignition. Same problem. What the hell is going on?.

Went to dealer and they said vehicle has bad engine mounts, and need to be replaced. Note that we also have a 2003 Acura mdx, and the dealer also told us that some engine mounts needs replacement. We checked some blogs for Acura mdx and Honda Pilot owners, and found a lot of owners with same issues. Some are being replaced every two years. We onwed a v6 Toyota for 15 years, never had this issue. We hope NHTSA will check this, because it is a known issue to owners and Acura/Honda will never admit. I'm sure if NHTSA will get repair records for this "engine mount" issues, it will be a lot. From what I read, this affects drive shafts due to excessive movement of the engine.
