general problems of the 2005 Honda Pilot - part 1

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that shortly after refueling, the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration, causing the speed to increase to approximately 45 mph while approaching stopped traffic. While pressing the brake pedal to avoid a collision, the vehicle continued to accelerate and crashed into the rear of a second vehicle. During the air bag deployment, the air was deflated, causing the driver's head to contact the steering wheel. Also, the contact indicated that metal fragments were present during the air bag deployment. The contact sustained a lacerated left wrist and lacerations to the chest area. The driver also sustained contusions and bruised to the head, ankles, and legs, along with neck and back stiffness, which will all require medical treatment. No other injuries were known regarding the second vehicle occupants. A police report was taken at the scene, and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failures was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failures, but no assistance was offered. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 150,000.

Airbag is deactivated due to failure of both crash sensors on the vehicle. Replacement parts are on national backorder.

Airbag tensioner seatbelt light is on (red one); aka, srs (supplemental restraint system) dealership pulled codes 41-11 and 42-11, which are the front left and right impact sensors. They said the impact sensors "appear to be okay". But the main srs computer unit control modular is "not working properly". The car has 137,000 miles on it and has not been in an accident and the light came on immediately when I started my car after it sat for a day without driving it. I live in rural area where no one could have tampered with my car. The dealership was perplexed and said they have seen this happen a lot recently and believe it is a defect in the srs unit. The impact sensors are fine but the codes are being thrown for impact sensors, not the srs unit; which they said if I paid 1,000 dollars (might) resolve the impact sensors error. . . If not, then I would have to pay another 900 for parts/labor to do the sensors as well. This is a manufactor defect they know about this I called many dealerships and they think that it should be warrantied as a safety hazard. . . Honda will not yet acknowledge that me or my family could be killed because their computer srs unit malfunctions. I will continue to support and buy only Honda but I need this to be warrantied and replaced no cost out of my pocket. Please issue a recall or honor the repair cost immediately.

Takata recall. My Honda Pilot was recalled for the takata recall probably a little over a year ago. The problem is that they changed the drivers air bag and yesterday I get the recall letter for the passenger airbag! knowing the dangers do the takata airbags why did they not replace both do them? my residence is in south louisiana, hot and humid. Also my vehicle now has over 320k miles, I'm probably very lucky or blessed. On Thursday June 29th the national news stated 'do not drive your Honda'!!! this is the evening before our trip to memphis for the 4th of July holiday. But I know mine was changed already!!! right!! but I return to find my recall notice for the passenger air bag. . . . There needs to be stronger guidelines and enforcement. Yes I called but none are available. Same as when I had to wait for the drivers side bag.

First issue. Honda is failing to make proper notifications concerning recalls and extended warrantees. A warrantee extension notice for my 2009 Honda accord was forwarded to me by the person across town who received my notice. Last year the same person forwarded to me a takata airbag recall notice he received for my 2005 Honda Pilot. I purchased my 2005 Honda Pilot direct from Honda and my accord from a private owner. Both vehicles are in the Honda service data base with my correct name, address, and VIN. I have no connection to that address, and the resident there does not have my name or any Honda vehicles. I have spoken to Honda service and the Honda recall center about this. Yet, in March the same issue occurred with my 2009 Honda accord. Additionally, I have not received a notice on my 2010 Honda accord (purchased from a Honda dealer), which, according to the notice, is part of the class of vehicles subject to the same extended warrantee. Honda¿s national service center could not explain to me how the mistake occurred and could not assure me that their records would be corrected for purposes of safety notifications since Honda has had my information correct in their service center database. Second issue: my notice of an extended warrantee on 2008-2010 accords is for a corrosion issue with an internal component in the srs electronic control unit that could potentially result in srs failure. The notice stated that if the dashboard srs light alerts you to an issue, you need to bring the vehicle in for inspection ASAP. The srs light in my 2005 Honda Pilot illuminates intermittently. Honda said it is not covered, but they would diagnose it for $120/hr + repairs. For purposes of vehicle safety, can your office determine if the older Honda Pilots have the same srs ecu issue as the 2008-2010 Honda accord, and thus should be subject to a recall?.

I was parking , when the car jolted forward, I hit the brake, but the car accerated going onto the pavement of the shopping centre, breaking two sides of a brick pillar. Both sides of the front of the car doors were destroyed and the main front, the car was a totall loss. The airbags, never came out.

I was advised by my Honda dealership (russel & smith Honda) on 2/16/15 that there was a recall in my car's airbags - however the required part was not available to correct the problem. Two months later I a yet to hear from the dealer to schedule my recall fix appointment. In the interim I keep getting letters from Honda that there is a recall but it appears that there is no remedy as the parts are not available. I think Honda should ensure that appropriate parts for the air bag recall should be made available to their local dealers and advice the dealers to fix the problem in a reasonable time frame. I have waited 2 months with no word from russel & smith Honda dealer in houston and I am worried that my vehicle may not be safe for driving.

My car is part of an airbag recall by Honda. I have been trying to get my airbag replaced since November of last year. The miami Honda dealerships I have approached are south motors and brahman Honda. They have been totally uncooperative and have setup systems to give customers the run around. I understand that place with hot, humid climate like florida, are at higher risk for airbag malfunction. It is outrageous that these dealerships are playing games with my safety and the safety of my family. I do not understand what it is that they are waiting for to take care of this issue. I would like to know what it is that your agency will do to enforce this mandate. I will be willing to file a complaint with the court or testify if needed. I look forward to hearing from you on this issue.

Submission from congressman paulsen on behalf of constituent re airbag recall (reply directly to the constituent). The consumer stated Honda should be required to replace all air bags.

Honda Pilot was serviced at ed voyles Honda on 10/22 and picked up on 10/23. Extensive service performed on car. . . Timing belt, transmission, air bags replaced per recall, engine mounts replaced, oil changed, etc. Picked up car on 10/23. On 10/24 backed out of driveway and put car in drive gear. Car accelerated without me putting foot on acceleration. Could not stop vehicle. Acceleration continued and increased. Only way to stop car was to run into a tree. Not sure if caused by recent work or I have read now that 2005 Honda Pilots have had issues with unprovoked acceleration. Usaa insurance company has totaled car and car is at junk yard now.

I would like to encourage the transportation secretary to expand the air bag recall nationally, as it is a matter of highest concern to americans without boundaries. All americans affected deserve to have their vehicle air bags replaced, no matter where they live.
