Brake Electric Antilock Problems of Honda Pilot

While driving on the highway at approximately 60 mph the brakes suddenly activated and the vehicle rapidly decelerated. Tires actually screeched due to the rapid deceleration. The brakes pulsed off and on until the vehicle came to a complete stop. Pressing and releasing the brake pedal had no effect. I turned off the car then re-started it and continued on with no further problem. If a car would have been behind me it certainly would have caused an accident as my vehicle stopped so abruptly I surely would have been rear-ended. I have owned this vehicle for 5 yrs and this has happened 5-6 times, the first time about 6 mos after I purchased the vehicle. The date here is the most recent incident. It has occurred at different speeds and happens when the brake pedal has not been touched. It is random and I have gone as long as a year between incidents. I have not yet taken it to a dealer because it is such a random occurrence and not possible to duplicate, and numerous accounts of this problem on-line indicate that Honda does not have a fix and does not acknowledge the problem. My experience is exactly as described in NHTSA action number dp12002 and pe12028.

I have had a 2005 Honda Pilot for 2 1/2 years. On at least 3 occasions, the brakes apply themselves. It is a very dangerous event. The Honda company must do something about this. The last incident of this type occurred last night, the date shown below.

Brakes lock up while drving down the road. Dealership says they don't know what is wrong with it. This has happened three times now. The car has been to the dealer twice. Keeps happening. Nearly rearended this last time. Research on the internet shows that I am not alone. Yet Honda dealership claims they have never heard of this, they called headquarters and no one has heard of this. They want us to come and get it. I am afraid to drive it. It isn't safe to have your car locks its breaks out of no where. No warning at all. Another person on the internet reports it happened on the freeway!!! car swerved all over, cars honked swerved to miss them. They have a claim number with Honda as well. This is not safe and the Honda dealership is acting like I should just forget about it and drive this car.

While going at about 20 mph in light rain, car in front of me broke suddenly causing me to hit the brakes. Upon stepping on the brakes, I heard a clicking sound. The car kept on rolling and did not stop. I tried moving left onto a turning lane to avoid hitting the car in front. The car skidded off the median, and car jumped the median without losing velocity. The car wound up on incoming traffic, at which point a car collided with me resulting in injuries to the that driver and myself. Problem is similar to complaint on file odi id number : 10117818. Problem will be reported to Honda as a possible defect.

For over a year, I have been reporting break failure to the dealership. I explained that when I try to stop while going over a bump at 25 mph or less, the breaks fail and the abs does not kick in, I. E. The car fails to stop. The dealership said that they could not replicate the problem and therefore, there was no problem with the car. This morning I went over a bump at about 22 mph, tried to stop the car as I was going over the bump because there was a car stopped about 150-200 feet in front of me. The breaks failed or locked and the abs never kicked in. I rapidly slid into the car in front of me causing extensive damage to my car.

Vehicle goes into a rolling stop and slides when the brakes are applied. This could result in an accident. Manufacturer was notified by consumer.

When the brakes were applied the consumer heard a thump or knocking noise in the rear of the vehicle. As of 9/10/04 the vehicle has not been repaired.

The anti-lock brake system locked up, which caused the vehicle to experience extended stopping distance.
