Three problems related to rear suspension have been reported for the 2005 Honda Pilot. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2005 Honda Pilot based on all problems reported for the 2005 Pilot.
Had a Honda dealership service center complete repairs on warped front brake rotors. Dealership informed me that the front motor mount is broken and collapsed and that the right rear shock is starting to leak. The vehicle has 77,606 miles and has been well taken care of and regularly serviced. After researching these issues, it appears that the motor mount and rear shock failures are not uncommon issues for 2005 Honda Pilots.
I have a 2005 Honda Pilot. When I had it serviced last week the dealership put in a third right rear shock that was leaking. The last shock only lasted 3000 miles. I think that something must be wrong with the car that continues to ruin the same right rear shock.
This vehicle was brought to the dealer in April "08 while under warranty. I had a tire dealer attempting to fix a slow leak when they called my attention to the fact that both rear tires were slick, devoid of any tread, on the inner 3". The exterior looked fine. Honda said alignment was the problem which was not covered. I paid for this and the problem persists with new tires. They say it is within specs even though the mechanic agrees with me that visually the rear wheels tilt inward. They say call Honda, which I have several times & nothing happens. I now have a $30k paperweight. Help !.
