Upon applying the brake in an avoidance situation, I noticed the spongy feel to the brakes. What concerns me more, is that during the process of the event, the brake pedal settles down to below the height of the accelerator and if your foot isn't square on the brake pedal, you wind up hitting the gas while trying to stop the vehicle. . I need to talk with someone. This is most certainly a defect in design.

We noticed water leaking from the top of the windshield into the interior of the car. Either the seam of the gasket on the exterior of the windshield or the installation of the windshield is defective since it was leaking during a rain storm.

Driving on the city streets about 15 mph around a corner the spare tire fell off from the bottom of the vehicle. Upon further investigation the cable that holds the spare tire was frayed. The end of the cable was found on the street along with the spare tire. This event caused no damage to my vehicle or any other vehicle or pedestrians(happened in front of an elementary school after dropping off my kids). If this incident would have happened on the freeway, it might have had a different outcome.

Over the last few months, I have noticed the driver side floor mats are soaked with water on my 2003 Honda Pilot. Attempts to find and repair the leak have failed. I see multiple examples of this on-line where consumers like me are getting no help from Honda corp. I am constantly pulling up the carpet to allow it to dry out but the risk of mold, mildew, and rust are high. I already have a musky small in the car which is not good for the health of my family. Additionally, I just pulled up a cover plate on the driver-side floorboard to discover more water pooled around the e-brake cables. This pool of water covered the e-brake components and could have rusted out the cables making it useless.

2011 Honda Pilot, spontaneous star crack in lower center windshield, spontaneous rear hatch and passenger door opening while driving with my young child in the rear passenger seat (with "locked" doors), transmission rattle upon slow acceleration or coast at second and third gears. . . . Honda dealer said call insurance about windshield, something must have "hit" windshield without me knowing it, said "found no abnormal noises" and "cannot duplicate" rattle noise because different people have different driving patterns, said "cannot duplicate" doors opening while driving, dealer did not "fix" any of these safety issues, just told us to pick up the car. . . After research on internet, I believe these to be manufacturer defects. I purchased a brand new vehicle so I did not have to worry about safety or repairs. This is the third Pilot I have had, and the safety issues are very concerning. After the recall on the 2004 Pilot transmission, why have the same issues come up again in 2010? many complaints can easily be found regarding the faulty transmissions and windshields in Honda vehicles. How is it legal for a car manufacturer to continue rolling out vehicles with known safety issues? and they market these vehicles to families with children. How about a class action law suit and shut down these manufacturing facilities? I will never trust Honda again, after 15 years of loyalty and trust that safety should be a core issue.

Front engine mount found damaged and recommended replacement at $450 by Honda service. Driven 91k miles, and seems like a lot of others are reporting same issue at same mileage.

2005 Honda Pilot motor mounts broken. Called the dealership seems it is a very common problem as they are scheduling these type of repairs are being scheduled 2 to 3 weeks ahead of time. This should be a recall and can cause much more damage. Honda is trying to get out of a costly defective problem. Please help.

Front and side motor mounts on 2004 Honda Pilot need replacement after only 89k miles of city driving.

There are several issues: 1. The problem began with the key not fitting properly as it once did, perhaps after several attempts. When I turn the key or put the key in the ignition it won't turn to get the vehicle started. I turned the steering wheel all the way to the left and it doesn't matter. The Pilot still won't start. When reading the manual, it's a push sign under the ignition but this isn't addressed in the manual. It doesn't tell you the purpose of the push sign. I've tried everything to get the key to turn and I've let others try also. And it doesn't work for anyone. The steering wheel is turned all the way to the left but the wheels are not and it won't turn to the right it all; it's locked. The vehicle won't go in neutral, so I can roll it or nothing. 2. There is knocking noise that is louder when you accelerate on the left front side perhaps it's coming from the drive-train or axle on that side, almost sounds like something is loose and may fall off. 3. The radio turns off for a few seconds randomly and it may not happen again for a while and suddenly does once again. 4. The lock and handle to the glove compartment broke off and cannot be opened. 5. The wire to control the handles for the rear seats to recline and fold down broke from within the seats. I looked inside it's the piece of plastic to hold the wire in place that broke, there needs to be a better replacement part made of steel not plastic. 6. The floor mat sticks in bunches causing the carpet to soil can be hazardous I. E. Toyota, only remedy is to replace the floor mat for the truck entirely, very, very expensive. . . 7. When it reaches 30mph it shakes and you can hear a loud noise like you're driving over something ridged it's scary. 8. The button for four wheel drive does not function 9. The chrome on the door handles peeled off tearing the skin causing injuries to the hand, my finger still feels tingly and numb. Please help!!!.

I own an 2008 Honda Pilot (automatic) and would like an investigation of this vehicle's inability to hold in gear on an incline. The Pilot will roll backwards when in drive without stopping on an uphill incline, and will roll forward when in reverse on a downhill incline. I live near san francisco and driving in that area is nearly impossible in an automatic that will not hold its gear. It is worse than a manual transmission because you can't control the gear engagement with a clutch. I am forced to drive with my left foot on the brake and right on the accelerator in order to avoid rolling backwards into following vehicles or cross traffic. I believe this is a defect with not just my vehicle but with all Honda Pilots prior to 2009, as Honda advertised the 2009 model with a new 'anti-rollback' feature. The 2008 model is lacking this feature, but I have driven other automatics of all other types and sizes and never had this problem. In my research, it seems there is a problem with something called a 'torque converter' that could possibly be retrofitted or modified to fix this problem. I have complained to the Honda dealer in my area but with no satisfaction. This is an extremely dangerous issue. After one day in s/f, stuck on an uphill slope in gridlocked traffic, I completely burned out my brakes and nearly struck cars behind me on several occasions. Please investigate and recommend a method of recourse as I can not seem to get Honda to pay any attention to my concern. Thank-you.

2003 Honda Pilot ex with 101,054 miles front, side and rear motor mounts were cracked and leaked hydraulic fluid. Honda dealer replaced all three motor mounts costing $600. 00. Honda dealer states this is a common problem since the motor mounts have hydraulic fluid in them (they are not all rubber).

The electric cords in my car has been bitten by rodents for 5-6 times in the past year. Every time my car could be started or the warning lights are on. My car is parked in open parking lot. But this kind of problems just happened to my car, not my neighbors'. And it also happened to my friends who have the same model. I believe there are designing problems which are very dangerous.

The chrome plating on the passenger side door handle of our 2003 Honda Pilot is flaking at the front edge. It is a dangerous cut hazard. Our Pilot has only 69077 miles. This defect should be a recall, as it is a safety hazard. I purchased a extended warranty from the dealer, but was told that this is not covered. The repair cost is $39. 00 labor and $20. 00 for handle. The dealer service writer said he has seen this before, and has even experienced it himself.

Rumble strip noise at 35 to 40 mile per hour. Taken it to dealer several times. Tech has heard it. Tried to tell me it was windshield molding. Will not do anything about this problem. I have 2 Hondas, they will be my last purchase from Honda.

I had my front and side motor mounts replaced two weeks ago on my 2005 with 75,000 miles. I suspect they had been torn for 5,000 miles or so. Lots of low load clunking during throttle application, and ever so slight steering wheel vibration. Which I had never noticed, until driving it after the repair and noticed that the steering wheel dead still. But it still is disappointing to spend $450 for (2) motor mounts on a 3 year old truck. Shouldn't Honda to do a recall on this?.

My 2003 Honda Pilot was causing lacerations to the hands and fingers when using the door handle from the inside of the vehicle because of the delaminating door handles. The chrome plating on the plastic delaminates and has a very sharp edge that slices the fingers or hands if rub against. All of my family members have had laceration injuries from these defective handles. I have pointed out the defect to Honda but they say it is normal wear and tear and not covered. I have older vehicles from other manufacturers that don't have this issue and obviously disagree with Honda's assessment.
