Honda Pilot owners have reported 9 problems related to adaptive equipment (under the equipment category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Honda Pilot based on all problems reported for the Pilot.
The issue is related to the Honda infotainment system. After only 2000 miles the system began having issues. While the driver is driving, the center display and the display on the control panel will frequently go blank. When this happens the driver is unable to activate or deactivate specific safety controls including lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control and automatic braking. The automatic braking warning is also lost when the display goes out. The driver also loses the speedometer. From the center display, the driver is unable to use the backup camera, the radio, navigation and the ability to make hands free phone calls.

My car has a variety of dangerous behaviors in the driver assist functionalities that could either cause or fail to prevent an accident. I have only driven it 2,000 miles but observed these many times. I reported these to the dealer and was told the car was fine. Adaptive cruise control issues: - fails to detect vehicles in odd situations, such as a truck where the rear of the body protrudes out from the rear wheels, as if the radar is only at ground level, or if a vehicle is driving in my lane but one tire is in the other lane, or a wide load which occupies all of the adjacent lane and half of my lane, or a "bobtail" truck. - after an empty stretch, upon coming up to a slower car, rather than slow gradually by easing off the gas, the car will get very close to the car and then rapidly brake, causing drivers behind me to nearly rear-end me. Collision mitigation: - all of these trigger "brake" messages to be displayed, which is just 1 step before the brakes being auto-applied, which could cause me to be rear-ended. - false alarms while merging from lefthand onramps where a pending collision with the jersey barrier is detected - false alarms by the hills adjacent to the road when going around a sharp turn on back roads - false alarms when cresting a hill with a curve after the hill and it thinks an oncoming car will be hit, because it can't see the lane markings past the hill lane keep assist: - partially goes into exit ramps on its own if in the right lane, causing other drivers to think I am leaving the lane and start to merge themselves - is confused by lines of tar and will depart the lane on its own - often "fights" with the lane departure mitigation around corners - tries to prevent me from giving other vehicles some buffer when passing them, if they are wider or drifting toward me. - does not alert when it stops being able to detect the lines.

I have 2004 Honda Pilot lx. When traveling at about 30-50 mph. Hear and feel a vibration when at consistent speed. Seems as if it's coming from the bottom of the vehicle. Maybe from a drive shaft or propeller shaft or something. It's getting much and much worst as days goes by. I am worried something can come loose when vehicle in moving motion.

Several months ago the vsa light began to come on momentarily, for no reason. This has happened 50-100 x. Several weeks later, the steering wheel began to be sometimes (daily) not true (at one oclock), though the car was moving straight. (turning the wheel turned the car. ) the abs began momentarily firing, for no reason, and the car would slow, sometimes severely. (we were not braking. ) the car would lose power momentarily, for no reason, though the engine continued to run, and everything else was normal, with no noise (e. G. , no abs). Recently the above happen every day. Sometimes the vsa and abs happen at the same time. All happened when driving straight or turning. We were not driving fast. There were no emergency conditions. On Dec 20, we began a left turn at 5 mph. The abs fired for 4 or 5 secs. Then there was a loud noise (not abs). The vsa light came on. The wheel was as much as 270 degrees from true. Sometimes it took effort to turn the wheel. Sometimes it took no effort but the car did not respond. On Dec 21, at their recommendation, the car was towed to a Honda dealer. The dealer told us the 2 steering bolts were sheared off. They do not know the cause. They note: the bolts are not visible during inspections. The steering and subframe must be replaced. The vsa etc. Are probably fine but we cannot know until everything else is fixed. The dealer has declined to put this in writing. They say there is not anybody at Honda with whom we can discuss this. When asked, they knew of no relevant recalls. There has been no accident or other damage to the car. It is kept in our garage. We have maintained it (last service was Sep 2013). We are fortunate we did not have an accident. Even after the proposed fixes, will the car be safe? on the NHTSA site, we found 2012/2013 recalls for the 2005 Pilot for the same subsystems and similar symptoms.

Transmission fail-description of problem: heat build up between the countershaft and secondary shaft second gears in the automatic transmission, eventually leading to gear tooth chipping or gear breakage. Contacted Honda and was told that there were no recalls for this VIN and because the service work was not completed by Honda they claim no responsibility for their design flaw. A very expensive engineering/design problem that was flawed from the beginning and then burdened/blamed by Honda on the consumer.
I got the letter from Honda. Based on the letter, the car has problem with the airbag module on the handle. I made appointment with one of dealer. However, it takes 5 months to replace the airbag in order to schedule.
Started car and started to drive the car and it had a mind of it's own. The engie would start and stop indepentantly from me touching the gas pedal. Apparently, this 2011 don't not have an accelerator cable anymore and it is computerized. I am thankful I was not driving on the highway. The only way to stop the car is to turn off the engine in the neutral. Very serious problem. They reset the senor and charged me 126. 50. They should have a warranty on this for the live of the car. The reset the tp sensor.

I have been having a hard time turning the ignition with my key. Now the key will not turn in the ignition. I believe this is a safety issue since there may be a situation where the car may need to be moved in a dangerous situation and cannot be turned. I found this website from 23 other complaints for the same issue on this website alone.
