Tire Problems of Honda Pilot - part 1

My 2025 Honda Pilot black edition came with these bridgestone alenza sport a/s tires. They tramline horrendously on grooved concrete roads (most interstates where I live) to the point of being extremely dangerous. The vehicle jerks side to side to where it is throwing the vehicle off balance at highway speeds and this also causes nausea for the driver and passengers. The tires have exhibited this behavior since the vehicle was brand new and a quick google search turned up numerous reports of others experiencing the same tramlining behavior.

My vehicle started shimmying at 55 mph up to 70 mph. My repair show told me that two of the tire walls are flattening out and it's dangerous to drive.

Size of tires: 245/59 r 20, 102h dot serial #: [xxx] the 2021 Honda Pilot came equipped with the tires in this discussion. At 30,000 mile check up at dealership, we were informed the 3 tires with this dot number had “dry rot” and needed replacing. A fourth tire with a different number is in excellent shape. These tires are not on a recall list. Many of the continental tires of this type have been recalled. Obviously since 3/4 tires are falling apart, it is not environmental or from road conditions or driving. These tires should be included in a recall. They are not safe and should last much longer than 30,000 miles of wear. We are going to have to replace them as soon as possible so they are not available for inspection. If they had failed, we could have crashed. There were no warning messages or lamps. I noticed they looked odd but it was just confirmed last week during the service visit that they had “dry rot” and needed replacing. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Hello, I have a set of 4 bridgestone dueler lx tires that have been cracking for the past 8 months and now appear to be separating in between the treads. I’ve had America’s tire company look at them within the past 6 months and they always seem to state that it’s normal, but the cracks seem to be getting bigger and bigger. The wheels vibrate some, even after several re-balancing attempts. The tires were purchased on 11/09/2021 and I don’t feel safe driving on these tires anymore to the point that I really hesitate driving on the freeway now for that they might fail/explode. I will be submitting a call/claim directly with bridgestone at 800-847-3272 tomorrow as well. The tire size is p235/70r 16. There has been no incident yet, so I will use today's date. Of the photos uploaded, img's 3506 and 3507 were recently placed in the rear and img 3508 are in the back. Here are the dot #'s in no particular order: 1vn 4edlx1 3021 - 1vn 4edlx1 3021 - 1vn 4edlx1 3021 - 1vn 4edlx1 2121.

I am writing to formally address a concerning issue I have encountered with my vehicle’s front tires. Since the initial tire swap, I have observed significant degradation in the condition of the continental cross contact lx sport 245/50 r 102h tires. Specifically, I have noticed gradual chunking of the tire tread, occurring piece by piece. Upon bringing this matter to the attention of , I was informed that this issue falls within the purview of the manufacturer’s warranty. However, upon further communication with the manufacturer, I was informed that the observed deterioration is attributed to road conditions in my locality rather than a manufacturing defect. I am deeply concerned as my SUV has only accumulated 29,000 miles, yet the tires exhibit a severe lack of tread thickness, rendering them nearly unusable. Given the discrepancy in responses between the dealer and the manufacturer, I seek clarification and resolution to this matter at the earliest convenience. I kindly request a thorough investigation into the root cause of the tire deterioration and a comprehensive assessment of its eligibility for warranty coverage. Additionally, I urge for prompt action to rectify this issue to ensure the safety and performance of my vehicle. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a swift resolution.

Continental cross contact lx sport 245/50 r 20 102h m. S. Radial tubeless vehicle was parked after a ride on thu 11/23 with no problems. Vehicle was parked in a apartment lot with no issues previous night. Next day morning on 11/24, rear passenger tire is deflated fully with no air. Upon checking there are 2 cracks observed on the sidewall of the tire with no air left. There was no accident or any sidewall curb hit at all. Tires are faulty and the same issues have been observed with previous recalls with the same brand and model/size https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/rcl/2021/rmisc-21t001-5089. Pdf this tire is not part of the previous recall but should be included. Please help. Dealer won't accept this as a tire failure. This is very dangerous as could have caused serious crash if happened during high speeds.

On 6/23/23, my wife was driving on a street & was changing lanes (from left to right) when the driver-side rear tire suddenly ruptured. She heard a loud pop coming from the tire and immediately scanned for a car impact or debris on the road—but neither was present. The vehicles within her proximity yielded to allow her to pull out of the street and into a safe parking lot. Since our children were in the car, she confirmed that they were safe. Upon my arrival, I could see a visible tear in the side wall of the tire. It is apparent that the tire side wall tore so rapidly that when the rim hit the asphault of the street its impact was so hard— that it left a gaping hole in the rim! our family’s safety was in jeopardy because had vehicles not yielded , a crash may have been inevitable. Our local dealer has recommended reaching out to the tire manufacturer for a possible claim. There were no warning lamps prior to this incident.

Driving 2008 Honda Pilot with firestone weathergrip p235/70r16 at 70mph on the interstate, the rear driver tire failed causing almost instant and complete deflation. The tires have been maintained properly, to include rotation and proper inflation. The tires have less than 10k miles (65k mile warranty) and are one year old. Based on my knowledge, experience and evidence (attached photo), this failure was not caused by common road hazards, misapplication or abuse. Rather, the failure is a result of material failure of the tire.

I was researching recalls on my 2021 Honda Pilot and came across NHTSA campaign number 20v725000. When I inspected my tires I can confirm that they are the ones in question as they are the continental crosscontact lx sport tires with tire size 245/50 r20 102h and dot serial number of a376. When I brought the vehicle into the dealership over the weekend they were dismissive and stated they only have one recall on the vehicle. I have explained my concern to a body shop previously and they recommended I do some research to see if any recalls are in effect, to my surprise I located this from NHTSA. I showed them the NHTSA campaign number 20v725000 and they were dismissive. I went on to inform them that my tires match what is outlined and this is a safety concern for me. I have had issues with the tires losing pressure and I have had them rotated on a regular basis. I have not looked specifically at the spare tire, but I am asking that to be remedied as well if I have a full size spare that matches the recall. The tires have lost air suddenly where I have had to go into a tire shop or a gas station to add air routinely on occasion. It is hit and miss when it needs to happen and the weather is consistent, so now sudden change in temperatures to warrant this.

I have continental cross contact 245/50 r20 104h. Upon 1 year inspection of the vehicle I was told all 4 tires need to be replaced and the vehicle is failing inspection. At the time the vehicle, which is a newer lease, had 30k miles on it. I’ve never owned a vehicle of any kind that has needed 4 new tires in just over 1 year. The garage is saying he has seen this issue before because the tires are too soft for the type of vehicle. I’ve managed to find the identical tires recalled just 2 weeks before the tires on my vehicle. I found recall date 2920 and my tires are 3120. It’s hard to image the same tire, manufacturer, and location didn’t have a recall issue they were unaware of just 2 week MA later. It seems more likely it hasn’t been reported yet with that date.

Purchased vehicle in August 2021. Discovered that driver side rear tire was completely flat while parked in my driveway. Noticeable gash in sidewall of tire continental crosscontact lx a376 d3k9 2321; 245/50r20 102h. Dealership had no explanation for the gash and since no recalls, had to pay nearly $300 for a new tire on a vehicle that was driven 2 months since purchased. My other tires are 2321, 2421, 2421, and the new tire is 4720. I saw there were two recalls for Pilot tires in the recent past and these tires should be reviewed as well.

I purchased a new 2021 Honda Pilot in April. The incident occurred on 9/25/2021 at approximately 1:52pm cst. I was driving in illinois (on I-88 near exit 132). I was driving at approximately 65 mph. The road had no debris. The vehicle (tires) was operating smoothly. Then, suddenly, the rear passenger tire ruptured/blewout, making the vehicle dangerous to drive (dangerous for passengers and other vehicles and pedestrians/workers). There was no warning light. I pulled over and the illinois state toll highway authority helped in replacing the ruptured/blownout tire (see pictures of tire to assess damage). Tire: 245/50r20 102h - contenental crosscontact lx sport - dot a376 d3k9 0621. There was a recall on 2021 Honda Pilot tires. These tires may need to be recalled as well. I'm submitting my complaint to NHTSA. I have not yet contacted the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. Nor have I I discussed it with my insurance.

I have 2 years old Honda Pilot 2020 touring original tires 245/50 r20 with 16900 miles on them and the front tires already start delaminating and chunk off (please see attached pictures). As you can see 2-year-old rubber looks like it's much older. Possibly the rubber compound is not what it should be. Did not found this dot # in recall yet only the close ones, looks like the recall should be wider.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Pilot equipped with continental tires, tire line: cross contact lx sport, tire size: 245/50/r20, dot number: a376d3k92119. The contact stated that all four tires had experienced low air pressure on multiple occasions. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the rubber on the front passenger’s side tread had peeled off and separated from the tire. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failures and informed that the VIN and dot numbers were not included in the NHTSA campaign number: 21v165000 (tires). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 17,000.

We were driving on a 8 lane highway at night 8:45 pm in our brand new 2021 Honda Pilot elite with less than 2200 miles on it. Our car's tire pressure light cam on. 2 miles later our front passenger tire blown out traveling at speed greater than 55 mph. My pregnant wife, dogs and myself could have been killed. Currently these tire models are being recalled (2920), however, our tire was made (3920) did not quailfy for the recall. Clearly that was a mistake. Our local Honda dealership did a quick inspection of the tire and stated that the warranty would not cover and since continental tires does not have a recall on the tire, there was nothing they could do.

March 2021 - car pulling to right, took to dealership & they did alignment, problem persisted, returned to dealer April 22, 2021, still pulling right, they said they swapped front tires left to right and pull diminished, service manager indicated a tire belt/band problem & could go flat or have a blowout, two front tires replaced at 34579 miles on 70000 mile tires, found out about Honda recall ua2 for same problem with continental tires but my VIN not on recall list.

The relatively new tire (29000 miles driven) did burst on the side. The discount tire store representative couldn't explain why? I have pictures that I can send you. In addition to the bills I incurred in the repair and replacement. Total cost $140. 30 in total. The dealer believes it is a manufacturing defect.

All tires are not safe. Tread is chipping away. First noticed at 24000 miles.

The steering shake was reported to the dealer directly after sale. The dealer told me they didn't notice anything wrong and I should not be going over 65 as that is the speed limit. They finally force balanced the tires and adjusted the alignment, 50% better. When they said they were through and it might be a flat spot on a tire I reported this to Honda motor cars of America case # [xxx]. I had a separate dealer check it out and they agree it is there but had no solution. They said all the safety equipment is in place and it may be a bent rim, bad tire or just the vehicle itself. I was called by the dealer where I bought it to bring it to an affiliate Honda dealer. They force balanced again and adjusted the alignment. It was a bit better but again still shakes. They then swapped tires and rims with an identical 2007 Pilot with new goodyear integrity tires (recommended as the tire that came on the vehicle)there was not difference. The 2007 when taken for a test ride was worse than my vehicle and someone will by that thinking it is just an alignment and have the same problem. Looking on line this is a problem with Pilots, Acura rdx and mdx vehicles of all years when used for highway driving. How does a company continue to make a faulty vehicle and dismiss hundreds of claims? there was yet another Pilot owner in the shop that day with the same problem. Awfully big coincidence!.

I have a 2007 Honda Pilot ex. There were a couple of incidents that the brake/ oem tires (goodyear made integrity) are not responsive well during sudden braking on dry road. The tires was not able stop the car from slipping and cause the abs brake to be active. I contact Honda dealer a couple times and were told that the condition was normal for this car, no problem found. I then replaced all tires to michelin. Now the car braking is much more responsive.

Our 2003 Honda Pilot locked up on the highway due to transmission failure of the 2nd gear. We were traveling in the 3rd lane over 60 mph when both front tires locked and we skidded to a halt in less than 200 yards on the highway. Prior to our vehicle breaking down, there were no signs of danger, no unusual sounds, no blinking lights or any hesitation with the car. Our vehicle had 138,400+ miles and has been serviced regularly according to Honda's recommended maintenance schedules, including all transmission fluid changes. On may 7, 2004 with 36,384 miles, our vehicle had received a retrofit of the a/t oil jet kit due to Hondas 04-021b safety recall on the automatic transmission second gear. Luckily no one was injured and there were no other vehicles involved in the incident. The car behind us stopped just in time to avoid a collision. Our car could not be rolled into the breakdown lane as both front wheels were locked and we were stranded in the 3rd lane. A police officer was called to the scene and logged the incident as a disabled vehicle. The officer requested for immediate towing since we were in a dangerous location. The car was towed to a Honda dealer, who provided the following diagnosis and estimate: "transmission internal failure both front axles twisted needs 2 tires - flat spots alignment $5,199. 14 plus tax" we opted not to repair the Honda and instead purchased a new non-Honda vehicle and received a trade-in value for as-is condition.

2007 Honda Pilot vibration at speeds 65 and higher. Bought new tires, had them balanced three times by 2 different tire companies. Dealer (frank ancona Honda-olathe, KS)said they have never heard of this before on the Pilots. They said that the tires were the problem. There are thousands of people that have written on internet threads and blogs about this same problem. Honda basically said I'll have to live with the vibration & told me it was a waste of time for me to bring it back again.

Front wheel vibration. The front wheel on my Honda Pilot vibrates at 65-70mph, the Honda dealership has tried to solve the problem on six (6) occasions however they cannot findout what is causing the problem. Honda, corporate service is aware of the issue however, they cannot offer a solution either. Is this going to be another Ford explorer tire-frontend problem??? please advise.

Tires slip consistently upon right turn in rain, causing the vehicle to hydroplane and lose control. No matter how slow I make the turn. This occurs even when stopped before slowly turning right. I have never owned a vehicle that did this before. Extremely unsafe.

I have goodyear integrity tires as oem on Honda 2007 Pilot with 14k miles. I was only vehicle of 8 with 2 blowouts while traveling rocky road to camping site. Tires were properly inflated, vehicle was not overloaded, and I was traveling at same speed (slow) as all other vehicles.

Ever since I bought the car on 5/25/2007 the tires always slip in wet weather. No matter how slow you stop or how slow you start out from a stop they slip 90 percent of the time. There has been lots of complaints about the "goodyear integrity" tires that Honda puts on the Pilot's. All the complaints are about it slipping in wet weather and how unsafe it is. . Read more...

The tires on the 2007 Honda odyssey -- touring model -- are michelin pax -run flat tires. You cannot take the vehicle to just any tire repair shop to fix a flat, you must go to a dealership that has the appropriate equipment. This means making an appointment (waiting a day) and hopefully you are close to a major city. I spoke with a representative at michelin tires and they said if I were to be in a remote location they would send a tire out to me & pay for accommodations until I received the tires. Honda & michelin are not set up to provide the consumer with service/accessibility to maintain this tire. I feel Honda should have informed about the problems associated with this product and given me a choice. I would not have purchased a car with these tires. I have 3 small children and now have to be concerned about getting a flat tire in a remote location, and fear for our personal safety. I choose now to only travel near major cities. Honda said I would need new rims & tires. . . And they do not seem to want to help. I am hoping you can provide me with a contact or give me some info on how to get these tires off my vehicle. Also shouldn't Honda be willing to replace a product that has issues associated with it. When I had my flat tire I took my car to 3 tire shops and was told they would not touch the pax-tire & they had no plans on acquiring the equipment to fix them because it was too expensive and not enough vehicles have the tire system to make it cost effective. Honda first needs to better inform the consumer what they are getting into and the issues associated with this tire system. . . Second they need to provide those of us who don't want the tires a way to switch them out. It cost about $150. 00 to fix a flat! please help me get these tires replaced!!!!.

I recently purchased a 2006 Honda Pilot and am experiencing extremely poor traction with the factory-installed good year integrity tires. They spin on takeoff in both dry and wet conditions, and handle poorly. I also have a loud humming noise that usualy occurs between 50 and 55 mph. The noise comes from the rear of the vehicle, getting louder and louder and ending abruptly. I've noticed that a quick romp on the accelerator causes it to end quicker. The dealer claims that it is a problem with speaker feedback and Honda has no corrective measure as of yet. However, I have had passengers sit in the rearmost seats and they confirm that the noise is not from the speakers but closer to the rear of the vehicle.

I recently purchased a new 2006 Honda Pilot. The vehicle came equipped with goodyear integrity tires. I have had the vehicle in to the dealer service shop three times and I am going back for a fourth attempt to get the tires balanced. The dealer is working with me, but these tires are garbage. They can't be adequately balanced because they are defective.

Note: system did not let me put in the correct tire size 235/70/16. I purchased a brand new 2006 Honda Pilot ex and wanted to express my dissatisfaction with the tires that came with the vehicle. They are goodyear integrity tires. I purchased the Pilot for a few reasons, one being that the vehicle has a 5 star safety rating which is not common among SUV vehicles and second because of Honda's reliability and craftsmanship. This is my 5th Honda that I have purchased and I have never owned anything but Honda's. I have to say that the goodyear integrity tires that came with the vehicle are junk. I love the vehicle but hate the tires. I don't just hate the tires but I feel extremely unsafe driving my vehicle in the rain with these tires. The vehicle feels like at any moment it is going to hydroplane. Also, whenever I stop in the rain my abs brakes are constantly being activated. I do not feel safe driving with these tires. I have looked on the internet at some Pilot and tire discussion boards and found similar complaints about these tires on other Pilots and also other vehicles (so it is not the vehicle but the tires).

My wife and I purchased a 2006 Honda Pilot in Dec 2005. Factory installed tires were goodyear integrity. The vehicle daily looses traction and several times and lost control of vehicle. Traction is bad on wet and dry conditions. When contacting Honda corporate, they say it is the tire and that I should contact the tire manufacturer. Goodyear says that we need to work through Honda. Classic runaround. However, when I review the goodyear web site, it provides tire recommendations for various vehicle types. When I review the Honda Pilot recommendation (with an SUV classification-which is appropriate according to the Honda web site, which labels the Pilot a SUV), the goodyear web site does not recommend the goodyear integrity. However, it you label the SUV a passenger car (which it is patently not), then the integrity comes up as the recommended tire. I have almost exhausted all my options and am left with frustration and concern. My wife or I will immanently be in an accident, and I will assure you that Honda will be culpable. I have attempted to resolve the issue by offering to pay the difference (which is 2x the price to the integgrity tires-which is why I suspect they are selling the vehicle with the significantly cheaper integrity tires) for the recommended tires, Honda and goodyear are not listening.
