general problems of the 2009 Honda Pilot

2009 Honda Pilot VIN [xxx] mileage 128,000 issue: transmission shuddering, a known and acknowledged problem why is there not been a recall for this problem? I have spoken with other Pilot owners and all have experience this problem. The dealership gave me about 3 reasons, all out of pocket costs. I am on fixed income, this is a problem for me. Honda knows there is a problem and yet the us government has not enforced any recall, why !! help us. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Check engine light manufacturer control.

Excessive oil consumption. Started back in beginning of August 2016. Just checking oil and found that there was very little in there. So added 3 quarts. I remembered that we just recently had the car in for service too. Anyway, I checked it again two weeks later and had to add another quart. This occurred over and over again the next couple months. Now we brought it in to the dealer we bought the car from. Now they have been very good to us over the years, but told us that they don't know why this is burning oil. I looked up on line and found a class action settlement. I thought great I am covered! lawsuit mentions my exact car too! well when I called they said I was not! I have no idea why I am not covered! same problem, same year, make, model, engine, everything! I am lost at how this can happen.

The driver side visor is defective and will not stay flush with the roof; it immediately drops down about an inch and a half which obstructs your view of the road. I am 5'8'', and I cannot see directly to the road due to this issue. I almost got into an accident because it dropped down further when I hit a speed bump. When looking for replacement parts online, I cam across hundreds of complaints from people who own Pilots and cr-vs that have the same issue, and after paying for brand new replacements and warranty replacements, those same replacements became defective as well close to two months later. Some people have gotten into accidents that caused law suits. I would like to see this item recalled and permanently fixed. I have a small child and am now fearful of getting into an accident.

When to dealer's shop last week and was told that the compliance bushing was leaking and torn. I research the internet and noted that it is common problem for this vehicle. I'm paying a steep money to fix this problem. Is there any investigation going on for this problem?.

Pulled 2009 Pilot into my slopping driveway I put the car into park and engine running. Noting rear camera was disengaged. My husbad and infant in his arms were 5 feet away from the rear SUV. Once the reverse light came off he went walked behind the to front of passenger door. I opened the door of the car and spoke to my husband who was standing infront of driver side door. I opened driver side door and we spoke briefly while door was open and car inpar engine on. I leaned into the center console to grab coffe and I felt the car rolling backwards down the driveway and into the road causing me to be trapped between door and the driver side frame. It dragged me into the street. I held on to the steering fearing I was going to be run over. The driver side door got caught on the a metal fence slowing the car down where I could finally stand up and rip keys out while engine still engaged running.

I just had to replace the front compliance bushings in this newer vehicle. I have found out that the Honda dealership is aware that this is a very common problem with newer model Pilots like mine. The cost of replacing them is close to $1,000. Would you please look into this issue and make the manufacturer responsible for this defect? my request is to have Honda make a recall on the Pilots and replace the front compliance bushings and refund those of us costumers that have already paid for the replacement causing other issues on the car. Thank you!.

2009 Honda Pilot has a brake system problem. The car can't be stop fast enough, it needs a very long distance after hitting the brake to stop. This is a brand new car. I informed Honda dealer of martin main line Honda in PA of the problem, the technicians told me that all Pilot behaves the same, so it is not a problem. However, this is the only car I need to have a such longer distance for a stop. It is not normal. If all Pilot are same, this could mean an investigation is needed for 2009 Pilot. My car is has about 8,600 miles now. This is the problem I noticed at the very beginning when I purchased it. Since most of time I drive locally, the problem is as worse as driving in a freeway.
