general problems of the 2009 Honda Pilot

The contact owns a 2009 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at 45 mph, the brake pedal failed to operate as needed upon depression as his wife hit a vehicle stopped at the light. The airbags deployed upon impact. The driver of the other vehicle was taken to a local hospital by ambulance; her injuries were unknown. The contact took his wife to the hospital after the accident where she was treated for neck and back pain. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent tow yard where it remained in their possession. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be diagnosed and remained in the possession of the independent mechanic. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

On July 29, 2020 I purchased a vehicle from crown Nissan of greenville. They stated that the vehicle had a safety inspection and that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and all that needed was a new ac compressor that they would replace at their expense. They were not transparent about other problems that surfaced within the first quarter tank of gas of owning the vehicle. The brakes were not installed correctly and was causing errors which is a safety concern. Both low control arms and struts were completely worn and not safe for vehicle operation. The front windshield had a crack in it. There were also faulty engine misfiring. There inspection did not animate any of these issues and said the only thing wrong was the ac compressor, which was a lie. The left strut was also was not operational and has made the car unsafe to drive. The vehicle has been driven less than 100 miles and has caused nothing but problems and a safety concern for the driver. I used the dealers service department twice and they were not transparent about issues concerning the vehicle. They did not care and both times said everything was fine which was not true there was a lot wrong with the vehicle that they weren't disclosing. I asked the dealership exactly what was wrong because I needed to know and they assured me the safety inspection was done and there was nothing wrong. The Honda mechanic from fishers garage claims the car has signs of being in a rough accident with underneath repairs, however the dealer assured there was no accidents and the car fax was clear of any defects. Which also turns out to be a lie.

After reading the dreaded compliance bushing issue on a few Honda Pilot owner's forums as well as safercar. Gov, I thought about checking my vehicle to see if I have the same problem. Sure enough, the bushings on both sides of the vehicle have leaked. Just like similar experiences from other owners, the front end of the vehicle vibrates excessively during braking.

At speed when braking the left wheel begins to vibrate to an uncomfortable level. It has been getting more prononce since purchasing the vechicle a year ago.

When brakes are aplied at almost any sped vehicle shakes violently. Took it in for service was advised by dealer that the bushing on a suspension component needs to be replaced as it has cracked. I did a bit of research amd was told that Honda was aware of the initial flaw on the design and redesigned it for the replacement part. Consumers should not bear the cost of the replacement part as it is a manufactures defect. This is causing the brakes and rotor to wear out faster.

Shaking and vibrating of the steering wheel resulting in damage to rotors. Honda is aware of this issue however they have not done anything about this. . Read more...

At 60 mph, the steering wheel vibrates, as if the anti-lock braking system is engaged, just with a slight tap of the brake pedal. The vibration is at a consistent rate, and does not slow when the vehicle slows. There is no scraping, or any other sound coming from the wheels, and it is easily demonstrated. While driving on the highway, while slowing down slowly, the vibration catches you off guard as you think you may be driving over a rumble strip, and attempt to make a correction in your driving - only to realize that its the vehicle that is having the issue. The issue started appearing around 32k miles, and now has 39k miles on it, and has only been driven around town. It has never been on a long range trip due to this issue.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the brakes were depressed and the vehicle began to shake abnormally. After the contact removed his foot from the brake pedal, the shaking stopped. The failure recurred consistently. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or repair shop for inspection. The contact repaired the vehicle by replacing the two front driver and passenger side rotors. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The VIN was unavailable. The current mileage was 54,000. The failure mileage was 48,000.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the vehicle would shake violently when the brake pedal was depressed. An authorized dealer diagnosed that the brakes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified, but denied any assistance with repairs. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 92,000.

Since owning my 2009 Honda Pilot new, I have replaced the rotors three times and had them cut many times due to warping. There must be a defective issue here.
