general problems of the 2010 Honda Pilot

The brakes and system isn't stablest shakes ,wobble left to right going over bumps. I fixed things over and over.

Streeing wheel seriously vibrates when breaking over 60 mph. Front bushings need replaced at 76,000 miles and dealer said that there was a leak in the hydrolics controling the timing belt which will lead to possible enging replacement. Dealer quoted $2500 to fix. The information on the bushings and timing belt was discovered while have the air bag replaced. Also, there was another customer that got the same news on his car. After looking at the complaints these are common problems which Honda does not help with and you don't know if the same problem will reoccur if you do fix. It does appear to be a manufacturing/engineering problem that Honda knows well but there is no help for the customer. The dealership seems to be looking for these known problems for more profit potiental. This vehicle has been well serviced and used for mostly long road trips. Honda needs to fess up and help their customers since these type of problems/failures can be very dangerious to the passangers while driving not to mention exorbitant costs.

The contact owns a 2010 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that the compliance bushings caused the vehicle to shake while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the compliance bushings needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 119,000.

Excessive vibration in front end when eco light turns on indicating cylinder shut down and when driving over 30 mph problem began after approx 50,000 miles.

Recently has been giving rattling noises from under the passenger side frontwheel while going over bumps. Diagnosed by Honda dealer to be an issue with worn compliance bushings. Although vehicle under Hondacare extended warranty, they would only cover replacement of the bushing. I have to bearcost of wheel alignment which is a consequence of the defective part from Honda. That is 118 dollars for wheel alignment. Drove the car out of the dealership and again hear the rattle over bumps. So having to go again to the dealership if they can diagnose the problem.

My wife was driving down the street and she was going to get into another lane she checked her mirrors and took a glance over he shoulder. When she looked back she noticed a car had stopped in the lane. She then slammed on her brakes in which at that time she said it felt that like the car was still pulling against her braking. After she hit the person in front of her pushing the adverse vehicle forward. Her car then continued accelerating as she was braking and slammed into the adverse vehicle again. Her car only stopped by putting the car in park.

During regular maintenance for a 2010 Honda Pilot with 42501 miles, owner was informed of an unsafe condition resulting from a routine inspection. Dealership informed customer that the front compliance bushings were worn/loose. Dealership informed customer that this unsafe condition could result in excessive tire wear, vibration & possible loss of control of vehicle if not corrected. Vehicle is out of warranty and it will cost $628. 00 to replace both front bushings and another $98. 98 for an alignment that will be needed after bushings are replaced. Total cost of 726. 98. Customer had not noticed any problems, before taking car to the dealership. Customer had noticed while researching Honda compliance bushings on the internet an excessive amount of complaints for low mileage vehicles. Hard to believe that a company like Honda that preaches quality can have an excessive amount of suspension complaints on low mileage vehicles and have not addressed the problem with a voluntary recall. Saw at least 3 complaints on this site alone, just for the 2010 Pilot. Also appears to be a common problem on other models.

Front suspension bushings degrade quickly and vehicle does not keep alignment. Also allows car to shake during high speed braking. Bushings were replaced at 29990 mi, now at 34,500 mi same problem is occurring.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Honda Pilot. The vehicle was being serviced for regular maintenance when the contact was informed that the bushings were defective. The vehicle was repaired by replacing the bushings. The contact had not experienced any issues because of the defect. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 33,500. Kmj.

I brought the vehicle to Honda city, liverpool, NY because of an issue with compliance bushing identified by an independant mechanic. The mechanic and service advisor both agreed that the bushing has signs of previous leak and is visually damaged which can be seen by cracked rubber. They also told me that since the TSB says it has to be a visual leak or popping it doesnt qualify for replacement. Therefore I currently and drive a vehicle with a defective suspension bushing which the manufacturer knows about but because of the wording of the TSB they will not replace. I am not sure how this works or what can be done but I'm trying to figure out if I have to be involved in a accident resulting from the failure of this component before my concern will be taken seriously by the dealer and manufacturer.
