This vehicle appears to have faulty brakes - either by design or by manufacturing. While I cannot comment on the chances of brake failure but the performance of the brakes is unsatisfactory and unpredictable. I'm fairly confident I'm not the only one affected. I would personally investigate the brakes on the current generation Honda Pilots as they appear to be a potential safety issue. But, the decision to undertake this exercise of investigating Honda is up to you.
This is the second time my brakes have failed. The first time this happened was about 6 months ago. I was leaving my house going about 20mph and wanted to make a right so I applied the brakes, the car would not stop or slow down, even with the brake pedal all the way down. I had to use to use the emergency brake to stop the truck. I turned the truck off and then back on and tested the brakes by driving very slow and braking. This seemed to clear the problem. Today my teenage daughter was leaving the gas pump and needed to back up. After she put the car into reverse, she tried to apply the brakes but the truck would not stop. She pushed the brake pedal all the way down and was still unable to stop the truck. She had to apply the emergency brake to stop the truck. I instructed her to turn the truck off and then turn it back on and test the brakes. This again cleared the problem. I have taken my car to the dealer and they have not been able to find anything wrong.

The brake system in my 2007 Pilot with 60,000 miles failed with no warning. When I press the pedal to make a sudden stop the car continues to move forward. It takes the pressure of both feet on the pedal to make the car stop. Air is being collected in the lines and has to bled almost daily. Honda diagnosed the problem being a faulty brake booster. At no time was there an indication the brakes were failing. Honda claims this is a rare issue and will not cover this safety issue under warranty.
