general problems of the 2007 Honda Pilot

Rear subframe rust because of bad quality metal is leading me to call the junk yard, although everything is working fine in the car, still I have to get rid of it because is not safe to drive.

I noticed a few months ago Honda crv’s from the approximate years 2006-2013 were issued a recall because of frame rust caused by salted roads up in the northern USA. My 2007 Pilot is experiencing the same issue and was wondering why there wasn’t a recall on my vehicle. The Pilot spent most of its lifetime up in the boston area. Thanks.

I experienced a sudden unintended acceleration while coming to a full stop at a traffic light. The vehicle kept accelerating around 5k rpm on it's own without pressing the gas pedal. I was able to stop the vehicle by engaging the emergency brake. I was very close to cause an accident today. My mechanic said there's no engine code and can't find anything wrong.

While driving on highway rear driver side window fell all the way down past where it should even stop. This window is seldom used if ever. Bought new retractor, it happened again while changing it.

The driver side door lock does not work, which, by what I read on the internet, is a very common problem.

On April 4, 2018, I idled into narrow driveway and coasted left to park in parking spot. Upon transitioning from gas pedal to brake, the vehicle accelerated forward at full force pulverizing the cement parking block, jumping the curb and landing on top of the hedgerow beyond the curb. The engine was revving and the brake was ineffective in stopping the vehicle. The front tires were in the hedges up off of the ground while the rear of the vehicle remained in the parking space. I turned off the car. After composing myself I reversed the car back down into the parking lot. I was alone in the vehicle at the time. This is the second time this vehicle had an acceleration issue while attempting to transition from the gas pedal to the brake. The first time 3 people were in the vehicle and the incident resulted in an accident whereby we rear-ended another vehicle causing significant damage. Police were called to the scene and an accident report was recorded on June 17, 2017 in springfield twp. Nj.

Vsa light stays on (the triangle stays on ) engine light s stays on. I was driving and the vsa. Light stays on (the triangle stays on ) engine lights stays on. And the problem was that I could not get the 3 or 4 stear gear speed and the vehicle doesnt get spead.

I was driving on the interstate no where near any other vehicles or overpasses when I heard what sounded like a gun shot and debris flying off the hood of my Pilot. I pulled off the road and discovered that my sunroof had exploded. The rubber seal wasn't attached to the rear any more as if it had popped upward.

Extreme shaking in the steering wheel when I reach driving speeds of 68-70 mph. The entire engine appears to be shaking as well. I've heard that this is a common issue with Honda Pilots.

Ignition switch has failed. Cost of repairing is prohibitive. Service department says the tumblers in the ignition lock wear out. Mechanic says only happens in Honda cars. Seems like Honda should fix the problem. Stranded without ability to turn key suddenly.

In 2009 I had a spark plug blow out of the housing and I lost pressure. Tried to change plugs to be able to drive to dealership. Car was towed to Honda and top manifold was replaced and I was charged $3500. Since these were the original oem plugs it was not time to change them. Honda was contacted and they offered to pay half. I have had nothing but problems with this car since. Car was maintained regularly and had reg oil changes. There have been many diagnostics performed and it would say that car was misfiring on all cylinders. I have had the pistons repaired elsewhere even though Honda said it was fixed. Three weeks ago my check engine light came on, then the vsa and warning triangle came on and I lost power. Took it and the diagnosis is as follows: damaged lifter from low oil pressure, vtec solenoid replacement, corrected oil pressure issues, still getting bleed-back from one lifter. Ts1145 variable camshaft timing solenoid, remove and replace variable valve timing solenoid. This cost $736. 00. What has to be done to fix this recurring problem. I am on a small fixed income and you would think if you buy a $30,000 car new you should count on dependability. For heaven's sake, "it's a Honda".

In our 2007 Honda Pilot there is no room for the driver to extend their left leg. There's a raised platform to rest the left foot on, but I find that uncomfortable after just a short time. When we first bought the used vehicle, I had both legs extended equally but experienced a situation where I had to stop abruptly. When I stepped on the brake, I found my left foot was under the brake. This seems like a significant design flaw. Our Toyota camry also has a raised platform but allows sufficient room for me to extend my left leg without interfering with proper vehicle operation.

Consumer has a problem with the Honda music link. ***** a Honda rep said the music link system could search and play music from an I-pod . The Honda service department stated it would not work as it was advertised . The consumer stated know one told him the particular music link system he wanted was being discontinued. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer to have the navigation system fixed which had been faulty for 2 years.
