Two problems related to vehicle shudder have been reported for the 2012 Honda Pilot. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2012 Honda Pilot based on all problems reported for the 2012 Pilot.
Vehicle developed a vibration around 45000 miles in rear and thought tires needed rebalancing. That didn't help and after vibrating on a 1600 mile trip had dealer replace tires with original brand and size after discussing problem with them. $1000 later I took the car back to dealer and complained about vibration. They rebalanced tires on hi tech balancer. 275 miles on new tires and still vibration is there. Went back today because of vibration and they did software update and replaced right rear tire. Service manager and then general both rode with me I vehicle and they agreed the vibration is still apparent. They think it's inherent with the Honda Pilot. It obviously is not something that is normal. Who what's to drive a car vibrating all the time.
Vehicle shudders/vibrates when vcm (eco) engages/disengages. Shuddering/vibrating is very pronounced. Transmission 'clunks' during engage/disengage of vcm.
