Air Bag On-off Switch Problems of Honda Pilot

The vehicle has had unpredictable braking and traction for well over a year. Dealer visit on March 14, 2014 did not produce a cause. More recently I was unable to stop the vehicle from 40 mph for a red light with full brake pressure. Road conditions were good at the time. I had to accelerate through the intersection to avoid a collision. The vehicle currently displays the "check engine" light and "vtm-4" light quite consistently. Traction is also intermittently compromised by some unknown problem. It seems that when the vtm-4 light is on, the awd feature of the vehicle is disabled. When it is on, it cannot be disabled with the switch on the dash. The driver side air bag was ordered on October 29, 2014 but has not yet become available. I called the dealer again on March 2, 2014 after I received another air bag recall notice. This now includes the passenger side as well as the driver side. Air bags are not expected for another two to three months. They will call. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . !.

Airbag light came on intermittently. After I took it in for the recall, the dealer said the sensor was bad and needed to be replaced for $200. I had that done and the second day following, it was on again. It intermittently lit for about 3 months. Now it is almost always on. I see similar issues listed. God forbid they don't work when I need them. Not thrilled with the Pilot. Transmission light also intermittently lights (blinking d). I had this fixed years ago after the dealer said new trans for $3,000. I didn't bite on that one because the shifting was seemless. Seems that mechanics maybe rely on computer too much. Had switch changed out and it stopped for about 2 years. Now it's on intermittently again. Tire pressure is another problem. Electronics stink!.

The pressure switch in the passenger front seat is broken. . . It goes on and off for no reason, with light coming on at the dashboard. We have had the airbag checked 3 times, twice by our mechanic, once by the dealer, and they say it's fine. The pressure switch is mal-functioning. We were told it would be $300-$400 to take apart the seat and replace the switch. . . Cannot afford it.

I own a 2004 Honda Pilot. The seatbelt sensor switch came on at around 63k miles. Took to Honda, they said passenger seat airbags sensor is defective and they have to take seat apart to repair. Proposed cost is around $500. Have not repaired yet due to cost. Inquired with other owners in my town that own same care, make and model year 2004 and 2005. 6 other women in my town have had exact same problem with their Pilot. I feel it should be a warranted part due to it being a life safety issue of a defective sensor on the Pilot. Complained to local dealership, herb chambers Honda, westborough, MA. They said they have had some repairs like that but not alot and it is not a recall problem. I would like it investigated to see how many Honda Pilots have had this problem and if it should be a Honda cost for such a defect. Honda doesn't not even tell you to not let anyone sit in the passenger seat inspite of the sensor being on indicating a defect.
