general problems of the 2009 Honda Pilot

I was informed by dealer that my compliance bushings were leaking and needed repair. Found there's was a bulletin put out by Honda, but I was never contacted. Spoke to a Honda rep that said they are under no obligation to inform owners about bulletins. Since the vehicle is out of warranty they want me to pay for the cost of replacement.

August 2015 I received the letter about defective compliance bushings. I had mine repaired by my local Honda dealer. I immediately sent in my repair bill and requested information. That was August 2015 and I have not heard one word back from Honda and we are now in December. There once was a time that Honda quality was amazing, but I suppose that even Honda buys inferior products from china and tries to pass them off as quality leaving the consumer holding the bag. Remember when the customer was always right!! - r. I. P.

There was a vehicle safety letter sent to me about my cv joints I took the car to culver city Honda in September yet have they or any Honda repaired my car. With the letter and noise the car is making ive yet to get repaired. When I turn the wheels knock clicking noise.

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.

The compliance bushings on my Pilot needs to be replaced. It is my understanding that Honda is aware of this issue. The old part was replaced to replace the defective bushings. Shaking of steering wheel when braking. Also, smell of burning grease due to leaking entering air circulation. However, the consumer bears the burden of replacing the bushings. This defect can lead to a safety issue if defective and not repaired .

The compliance bushings on my Pilot needs to be replaced. It is my understanding that Honda is aware of this issue. The old part was replaced to replace the defective bushings. It should be noted that Honda is aware of this pro kemp and made changes. However, the consumer bares the burden of replacing the bushings. This defect can lead to a safety if defective and not repaired.

Same as many other complaints here. Compliance bushings went out. Shaking when I brake very badly.

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.

Constant vibration at 60 mph or above. More prominent on the front side, at the steering wheel as well as the front seats. Does not go away with tire replacements, balancing and rotation and even 4 wheel alignment. Vibration frequency is such that it transmits to drivers' / passengers legs, spine and head, causing distracted and stressful driving conditions that can be a hazard to vehicle occupants and other vehicles on the road. Issue is specific to Honda Pilot and easily felt on any road or highway. Driving for more than 30 minutes caused us head and neck pain due to vibrations and stress induced due to vibrations.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that the wheels on the vehicle would exhibit an abnormal humming sound and a vibration. The contact stated that the failure would occur when the vehicle had been running for extended periods. The vehicle was taken to the dealer four times to have a front and rear alignment performed, as well as the rotors replaced. The repair would last for a few weeks before the failure would recur. Most recently when the vehicle was taken to the dealer, the dealer advised the contact that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and it was performing as designed, which could not be corrected. The failure mileage was 36,000 and the current mileage was 42,000.
