general problems of the 2006 Honda Pilot

The vehicle stability assit (vsa) system in activating inappropriately causing the vehicle to brake unexpectedly. There is a Honda service bulletin (13-026) for this problem for 2005 Honda Pilots. Well, the same problem is happening to my 2006 Pilot.

Car keeps going into limp mode. The vtm and vsa light flash on and the car will not accelerate. Happens at different occasions. It has happenstance while driving on highway and I’m traffic. The only way to reset is to cut car off and turn on. Sometimes, it doesn’t work with that and you have to sit and wait. It has been checked but no one see no faults and it’s never on the dashboard if you cut off then cut back on. This is becoming a huge risk when driving with children and family. Also, electrical issues has been going on and no one can figure out. Have been looked at and even quoted for new pets but no fox for why the electrical is not working. One side of car has no electric and nobody knows why. My car was taken apart and still no fix for electric. This effects the passenger side windows and turn signals. The vehicle is forcing me to have to look for another one even though it’s paid off and has done well for me and my family. Please help and assist thanks.

Voice commands shutting radio off putting radio on air on air off asking to repeat . Dashboard lights going haywire lost all electrical to dashboard instruments car started vibrating while driving replaced battery and alternator and battery light flashing on and off but battery and alternator testing fine car accelerates on own with cruise set all this happened while I was driving on a city street. Car accelerated on own while I was driving on highwy doing 65 my I had to apply brakes and shut down cruise. Had computer tested to see if anything wrong had computer checked to see whats wrong with engine indicated no codes everything fine. Also while making a turn steering wheel locks up but everything ok with power steering fluids. This is very unsafe I have 4 grandchildren that I pick up from school im afraid to drive my vehicle with them in car even myself I dont want anyone getting hurt or killed because of Hondas knowledge of all the problems with electrical system and engine problems that they wont do a recall because to expensive.

On three separate occasions over a two-day period, the vehicle momentarily brake hard when very light pressure was applied to the brake pedal. The vsa (vehicle stability assist) warning light came on when this occurred but did not stay illuminated after the vehicle was shut off and restarted. These incidents occurred December 23rd and 24th, 2013, and the temperature was approximately 20-30 degrees. No injuries occurred, but thankfully no other vehicles were behind us when it happened. This sounds like the same issue that the 2005 Honda Pilots were recalled for, however, the local Honda dealership will not include my model in the recall and will therefore charge me for any fix that might occur.

Vibration noise/shudder/grinding between 20-50 mph while accelerating.

This is the second time it has happened in 2 weeks. We were in our car and were accelerating after being stopped at a stop light. The car jerked forward briefly and then stopped responding. I was pressing the gas pedal, but the car did not accelerate and the vsa warning light came on briefly. Within a few seconds, the car began responding again and we were able to drive safely the last 1/4 mile to work.

Was pulling into a parking spot in a parking garage going slow and the Honda Pilot accelerated on its own, the rpms went up and slammed into the cement wall in the garage in less 5 seconds. The airbag deployed and damage to the front of the car.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that he had an issue with the engine speeding up suddenly even when he took his foot off of the gas pedal. He was forced to shift gear into neutral and turn the vehicle off. He called the dealer and was told to re-start the vehicle and see if it would happen again. The issue did not re-occur so he continued to drive it. He had a scheduled appointment with the dealer at the time the complaint was filed. He has not spoken with the manufacturer. The current and failure mileages were approximately 55,000.

On Dec 4,2007 I took my 2006 Honda Pilot to a Honda dealership in winnipeg mb canada for engine revving issues. I explained how when going to brake at an intersection the vehicle jolted ahead as the engine started to rev high- rpm greater that 4000 - and the speedometer needle was bouncing from top to bottom erratically. I was braking lowly at first but when this started I used two feet on the brakr to prevent me from hitting the car in front of me. It just finally stopped. It never happened again but with the Toyota recalls I wonder whether Honda has the same issues with their vehicles. Please report this occurrence for me. Notice: mileage on vehicle at the time was 38000 kilometers and the speed I was going was 50-60 km per hour. I couldn't adjust that in the following pages to reflect the metric system we use up here.
