Had a Honda dealership service center complete repairs on warped front brake rotors. Dealership informed me that the front motor mount is broken and collapsed and that the right rear shock is starting to leak. The vehicle has 77,606 miles and has been well taken care of and regularly serviced. After researching these issues, it appears that the motor mount and rear shock failures are not uncommon issues for 2005 Honda Pilots.

I have a 2005 Honda Pilot. When I had it serviced last week the dealership put in a third right rear shock that was leaking. The last shock only lasted 3000 miles. I think that something must be wrong with the car that continues to ruin the same right rear shock.

This vehicle was brought to the dealer in April "08 while under warranty. I had a tire dealer attempting to fix a slow leak when they called my attention to the fact that both rear tires were slick, devoid of any tread, on the inner 3". The exterior looked fine. Honda said alignment was the problem which was not covered. I paid for this and the problem persists with new tires. They say it is within specs even though the mechanic agrees with me that visually the rear wheels tilt inward. They say call Honda, which I have several times & nothing happens. I now have a $30k paperweight. Help !.

I bought a 2007 Honda Pilot ex-l 2wd. I am disabled, so I require a hitch, electric chair lift to carry my electric wheelchair. I previously had a 2003 Toyota highlander 2wd, 4 cyl, with the exact same configuration. Since I have adapted my 2007 Honda Pilot with the equipment, I have found this vehicle is not capable of carrying the tongue weight load of about 350 lbs, which Honda published is adequate (I. E. Honda states a 2wd Pilot is capable of towing 3,500 lbs and a 4wd is capable of towing 4,500 lbs, which equates to an allowable tongue weight of 10% of towing weight which is 350 lbs for the 2wd and 450 lbs for the 4wd). I have spoken with the chief mechanic at hollywood Honda; the hitch experts; professionals at my wheelchair/lift facility and everyone agreew the 2007 Honda Pilot can not carry the tongue weight of 350 lbs in a safe and effective manner. The vehicle starts to lower the back end and the front end starts to lift upwards as the weight of the wheelchair on the lift starts to ascend. When the back end of the Honda Pilot has "bottomed out", then the wheelchair and lift start to ascend. When the wheelchair and lift ascend to its proper height as designed by the lift manufacturer, the lift and wheelchair are in a very vulnerable position which is not high enough to keep the lift from bottoming out and the entire wheelchair and lift from "bouncing" in manner which is uncontrollable, whcih gives the sensation of being out of control. Meanwhile, the front end of the Honda Pilot has escalated about 6 - 8 inches above its normal level plain. If Honda has conducted its evaluations in a satisfactory and safe manner as they publish a 2wd Honda Pilot can tow 3,500 lbs and a 4wd Honda Pilot can tow 4,500 lbs, then why can't the Honda Pilot effectively maintain the normal tongue weight of 10% of the towing weight which they stipulate? if you can assist me in making some determination pertaining to this issue, I will be gratefully appreciative.

The contact owns a 2003 Honda Pilot. The contact noticed that the tires on his vehicle were deteriorating on the interior sidewall. He took the vehicle to the dealer on five occasions and they performed a realignment. He then took the vehicle to an independent repair shop and a technician stated that the rear of the vehicle does not adjust the camber and caster. The contact had to replace four sets of tires, in which all of them had a large amount of tread. The manufacturer stated that the lifetime of the tires were 28,000 miles. All attempts to have the vehicle repaired properly have been insufficient. The failure mileage was 18,000 and current mileage was 79,000. Updated 10-30-08 updated 10/31/08.
