| Problem Category | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| Power Window problems | |
| Sun Roof problems | |
| Exterior Rearview Mirror problems |
Driver side rear window was lowered and would not come back up while stopped at a drive thru restaurant. Took vehicle to dealership and they advised it was the motor that moves the window up and down that needed to be replaced and they have ordered the part. In September 2008 I had the passenger side rear window motor replaced by another dealership. I believe they call it the window regulator. I will have to assume that this is the same part they are talking about this time also. I have owned this vehicle since it had about 50,000+ miles on it. It now has 100,000+ miles on it. I do not think the rear windows in this vehicle have been raised and lowered more then a 100 times since I have owned it because we drive with the a/c or heat on most of the time and yet both rear windows have failed.
I am the owner on a 2005 Honda Pilot ex. I was driving down the interstate and the glass in my sunroof shattered. It made a large pop and then we were showered with shards of glass. There are no signs that an object impacted the glass.
On two seperate occassions my 2005 Honda Pilot when backing out of the garage has "lightly" contacted the edge of the garage. Each time the internal mounting mechanism has failed to withstand the impact. The low speed at which the car was traveling did not even impact the wall hard enough to force the mirror to fold in or the glass to break, chip or crack.
