Wheel Problems of Honda Pilot - part 2

1. I am getting static on the radio, the dealership is not solving this issue completely. I know by turning on and off the car it will resolve it for an amount of time and it comes back. This occurs when driving and not driving. 2. Issues with tire low pressure the dealership is not solving this issue completely. I know by adding air it will resolve it for an amount of time and it comes back. This occurs when driving and not driving.

3 out of 4 steel wheels on my 2014 Honda Pilot got a crack and an air leak issue. The vehicle has been driven in the normal conditions and it has never hit a curve or anything. It occurred on the first wheel about a year ago and Honda replaced it under warranty as they recognized a welding issue which was causing a crack and leak inside of the wheel. Second and third one occurred back to back in a past couple of months. Where leaking was found was exactly same joint area inside of the wheel with the first one and I had to replace both of them. This definitely concerns the safety issue as the wheels are falling apart.

We have had 3 cracks in the wheel of this 2014 Honda Pilot vehicle. Our car is garaged at night and is driven to work (part time). The first wheel went bad with a leaking crack on 8/5/17, the second wheel had a crack found on 10/23/17, and the third wheel went bad with leaking crack on 9/28/17. Three out of four wheels with the exact same problem. All three times the tire light indicated the problem. I have complete records including dealer receipts for all three incidenences. Never once were we offered any type or restitution. This is obviously a manufacturer defect that deserves the full investigation of NHTSA. I will be following up with Honda USA and a small claims suit as needed.

I was driving in the rain at about 30 miles and hour towards a red light. I began to slow down with the brakes, but the car would not stop and skidded right through the red light. I also tried steering the car to the right, but the car would not steer right and kept skidding through the red light until it slightly hit the median and stopped. Luckily, no oncoming cars were coming or my car would have went right into them. The tires claim to be "all weather tires" which are bridgestone dueler tires, 245/60r18. On other occasions in the rain, I have felt the car skid when tapping on the breaks while turning, but not to the extent of yesterday when I could have been in a terrible accident. I also read on line of another person reporting skidding while turning in the rain in a Honda Pilot. Something happens with this car in the rain that causes the brakes to not stop the car and instead skid as if it is on ice without control of the steering at the same time.

Wheel welds are faulty. The vehicle has been driven under normal driving conditions since the date of purchase. However, a hairline fracture appears in the wheel weld causing the tire to deflate. The vehicle was originally purchased in January of 2014 and three wheels have been replaced to date because of this issue. While this is obviously a manufacturing defect, my concern is with catastrophic failure of the wheel causing unnecessary injury or fatality.

I have the Honda awd 2016 touring model with z transmission. Since purchase, the vehicle will acceralte by itself when driving down the slope between 25 -30 miles per hour, the break will not stop the speeding, and actually will reduce the speed and it appears transmission will force the speed goes up against the break. During the drive, at this range, when accelarate, the vehicle will make a squik sound by the tire level, almost feel the tire is trying to catch up with the speed of transmission and won't turn as fast as it could and hence the squik sound, the vehicle is about 24 k miles and very challenging in driving this car. Need this to be replaced as the z transmission recall is starting by other manufactures. . The worst is the speed of the car at drive down slope and could kill anyone due to it actually automatically start speeding even though my foot is on brake.

The contact owns a 2004 Honda Pilot. While driving 70 mph, a loud bang sound emitted from the vehicle and the wheels seized without warning. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 207,584.

At 29,000 miles (July 2015) the right rear tire rim failed at a weld joint. It was replaced by Honda. At 35,400 miles (April 2016) another rim failed for the same reason. At 42,800 miles (July 2016) the third rim failed due to a bad weld joint. Both second and third rims were also replaced by Honda. Honda refused to replace the remaining rim, which at the time was still functioning, but statistically will fail. They did negotiate and agree to sell to us a new rim at cost, and provide the mounting of the tire. All three rim failures were presumably the result of over-heated welding, which penetrated the rim barrel. After a random period of time and stress flexing from the road surface, tiny air channels developed through parts of the welding joint, allowing air to slowly escape. All three failures were noticed via the tire pressure sensors sent to the front panel indicator.

On 9-1-15 I took my car to metro Honda in montclair because my tire was leaking air, in which it was found that my Honda factory rim was cracked at the point where it is welded together. My rim was replaced with another Honda factory rim. Then on 3-1-16 I took my car back to metro Honda because another tire was leaking air, and again it was found another rim (different from the first one) was cracked at the point where it is welded together. I called Honda corporation asking for further inspection of my car to ensure the safety of the rims. Honda corporation refused to further inspect my vehicle. On 6-28-16 my tire was leaking air, and again it was found that another Honda factory rim was cracked at the point where it was welded together. 3 out of my 4 rims have all cracked, causing tire damage and unsafe conditions for me to drive.

Hi, I got a strange problem in my car as per the attached image. Thanks,.

On June 2015 I bought my vehicle from brandon Honda dealer. In December 2015 my vehicle started to give me some problems, alignment, tires, engine, instability when you are driving in the highway. The dealer expected me to pay over 1,000 dollars for the repairs, however they did fixed them at no cost. Now June 2016, one year after purchase my car still having major problems, tires, instability when driving and alignment issues. When I took my vehicle for oil service on June 2016 I expressed that my vehicle was pulling to left so they recommended an alignment I agreed, after 5 hours waiting and me driving away the pulling to the left was not fixed at all I went back to the dealer and demanded them to fixed it, they stated that because my tires needed to be changed that's why it was not fixed, mind you that I already paid over $100 dollars and they told me this after the fact. Now I received a recall and they have not contacted me back to even make an appointment to address this issue. How can a known dealership promised you that the car is reliable and inspected by a certify mechanic and that it will last for at least 5 years and here I am only 1 year from the time I bought my vehicle and I am having car issues that can caused me and my kids life because this vehicle is not safe to drive. I have express this to brandon Honda and they have not do anything. Can someone please help?.

Over a period of time from Jan 2016 to the present, I have had issues with flat tires took to tire shop they determined it was a crack in the weld of the rim front passenger tire. Dealership replaced the rim. Then a month later different tire same issue crack in the weld of the rear passenger rim. Dealership now has that rim on order they are going to replace. Both were located in the original factory weld.

Over a period of time from 2/14/16 until 2/29/16, I have had issues with flat tires due to cracks in the weld of a rim. One was discovered and I had it repaired. On the 29th, while having another flat checked, two more cracks were discovered on the same rim, but in a different location than the original crack. All three were located in the original factory weld.

Vehicle developed a vibration around 45000 miles in rear and thought tires needed rebalancing. That didn't help and after vibrating on a 1600 mile trip had dealer replace tires with original brand and size after discussing problem with them. $1000 later I took the car back to dealer and complained about vibration. They rebalanced tires on hi tech balancer. 275 miles on new tires and still vibration is there. Went back today because of vibration and they did software update and replaced right rear tire. Service manager and then general both rode with me I vehicle and they agreed the vibration is still apparent. They think it's inherent with the Honda Pilot. It obviously is not something that is normal. Who what's to drive a car vibrating all the time.

I have been noticing that when I brake my vehicle shakes - took it in to have the brakes done and the dealership told me that my brakes looked brand new and wanted to send me on my way. I asked well why is it shaking then and I was told that maybe the roaters needed machining a $207 service. This was after they did not bother to call me to tell me my vehicle was ready I just happened to show up an hour after my scheduled appt time so machining my roaters would have been another hour to 2 hour wait. (not happy) so I left and I am still dealing with the vibration. I also noticed within the past week after having to drive in heavy rainfall that when going above 45 mph I hydroplane badly - to the point where I almost hit a concrete barrier on the highway. The puddle of water was not, in my opinion, large enough to have created such hydroplaning, neither was my speed. Ended up driving my husbands Jeep until the rain subsided because now I'm scared of driving my car in the rain. I don't have documentation for the "repair" because they literally didn't even tag my vehicle. I will be taking it back this weekend considering I am not the only person having this issue apparently.

Premature tire wear. Purchased car April 2013. Brought to dealer 09/24/2015 37,453 miles. Vehicle scan summary indicated three tires with marginal tread depth and one with tread depth less than recommended minimum. Delaer moved one rear tire to the front and recommended I drive 5-10 thousand miles more to get more value on the prorating of the tires. When I returned on 12/28/2015 with 39,915 miles I was told that no prorating would be given unless I had written proof of tire rotation done every 5,000 miles. I do not. . . Who does? the suggestion was erroneous misleading and dangerous because it kept me driving on bald tires during the winter season. The rotation of the tires is irrelevant to the fact that the tires wore too quickly because they are of poor quality.

I took the vehicle to the dealership for a recall related to the steering mechanism that is making a loud cracking noise when I turn the steering wheel, when I back up. Were told that parts were not available, it is been almost one year ago. No respond from dealership or Honda itself. My name is jose chavez.

Vehicle shimmies, shakes, vibrates when braking and pulls to the left. Had 26,000 mile on vehicle. Brought to dealership and they said it could be due to breaking, car washes, and weather. Rosters were resurfaced at my expense. Now vehicle has 38,000 miles on it with the same problem. Dealership says it's my fault. All miles are highway and vehicle is garaged at home and during the day at the office.

Purchased a Honda Pilot equipped with kuhmo kr21 tires. While on a road trip with the family, about 400 miles into the drive heard a thump sound I went to a local lane to exit and then the tire literally explodes and separates on the highway. We did two spins and crashed into the guard rail thankfully instead of into the ditch. We were on i10 heading east bound few miles into louisana.

While driving on the road at speeds betweeb 35-40 miles per hour the car begins to shudder intermitently. Also when driving between speeds of 75 to 80 miles per hour the same shudding occurs. I first thought may be it was the tires, but I purchased the vehicle with 85000miles on it with brand new tires. After several occurrences I took it back to the dealer for service. The service dept informed that it was the torque converter needed to be replaced and my 30 warranty had expired. After researching this I found out this problem exist with many Pilot owners but no recall was done.

Suddenly car started making bad noise from engine. I went to store to fix it. They saying its factory recall and we can't fix it. I didn't find any information from your website. Also it's very risky. I suppose to drive my car from michigan to virginia but the auto technican told me wil be risk it's will stop your wheel and you will in big accident. Sears auto didn't fix my car. They refer me to go Honda dealer for recall issue. Please advice me. Thanks.

Michelin primacy mxv4 235/60/r18, right rear passenger side tire blew out suddenly with catastrophic loss of air. Lucky not a front tire. I was able to get to the side of interstate. The entire outside of sidewall was broken off of tire tread. Tires air pressure checked before start of vacation. Photos of tire available.

The compliance bushings on my Pilot needs to be replaced. It is my understanding that Honda is aware of this issue. The old part was replaced to replace the defective bushings. Shaking of steering wheel when braking. Also, smell of burning grease due to leaking entering air circulation. However, the consumer bears the burden of replacing the bushings. This defect can lead to a safety issue if defective and not repaired .

On the 28th of October, while my car was parked at my residence a enterprise box truck struck the driver side my car causing a severe damage to the side mirror, bumper and the wheel of my car. I contacted enterprise of the said damage and they apologized and made a reservation for me to go to one of their location (upper darby) to pick up a rental car while they make an arrangement to fix my car. The agent on the phone told me that I won't be responsible and that because they have not set up a claim number yet I should give them my credit card and they will set up a direct billing and my credit card info will be deleted from their system. My car was then taken to the Honda shop and a claim number (r00150772) was established by enterprise through their insurance (rental insurance services). A representative from the company melissa leppert (636. 329. 9245) got in touch with me and and told me she won't authorize the direct billing until she finish her investigation. After waiting for a month 11/27/14 she calld to inform me that my car despite not having a driver side mirror and a possible off alignment and the side damage that I should have drove my car like that until the investigation is over. I askes her if she implied that I sould risk my life driving a car that wont pass safety inspection text. She insit that they wont be paying for the rental car that was given to me ealier on. , and that she is still looking into fixing my car. At this point I just called my insurance company to take care of my car since I can't continue to wait on enterprise and their insurance. On the 12/06/2014 I returned the rental car since my car will be ready on Monday and I don't need the rental for the weekend, only to find out that my credit card was charged in the amount of $1600. 00 even though I was not present at the premises nor did I give the authorization for that.

Issues: 1 - steering constantly vibrates at speeds above 45mph. Smooth roads higher vibrations. This vibration increases to extent that you feel that you are loosing control of the car at speed above 70mph and you can see the steering vibrating. So effectively, you cant drive you car beyond 70mph. 2 - transmission shutters at cruising speed above 35mph and searches for gears while going down hill. 3 - sudden burning smells in the cabin to an extent of air becoming toxic inside cabin. Honda replaced multiple parts but no result and problem has become worse. Finally Honda does not want to recognize that there is major issue so are washing off there hand by saying that it is vcm vibration. The point that vmc vibration can not be constant and those occur only when there transition from 3 cylinders to 6 cylinder or 6 to 3. The vehicle is under warranty as of now but once it goes out of warranty, Honda would never care for it.

I was driving on the bridge and hit something metal on the bridge.

I filed a complaint in February concerning cracks in the welds on the rim of a wheel. 6/2/16, I had a slow leak in a tire and while replacing the tire, it was discovered that the rim had formed a crack in the weld. I ended up purchasing a rim at my own expense to replace the first rim (the dealer has refused to acknowledge any responsibility for either rim). I live on a dirt road, but have not hit any potholes, curbs or anything else that seemed a possible cause of the cracks. In fact, since the incident with the first rim, I have been extremely cautious about pot holes, rail road crossings, my speed on dirt roads etc.

Vehicle pull to one side on flat surface. Honda dealer claim that it is due to road curve. They perform the following: wheel alignment and tire rotation. Did not fix the problem. When driving and hit a bump, vehicle shift from left to right or right to left. The blame the tire is bad but the vehicle is less then 1. 5 years old. They perform the following: wheel alignment and tire rotation. Did not fix the problem. Steering wheel is loose. I can turn the wheel more than 3 inches before the wheel turn. They perform the following: wheel alignment and tire rotation. Did not fix the problem. Knocking noise in front of vehicle when rocking the steering wheel left and right. Dealer apply grease. Vehicle vibration at around 40-45 mph and 20-25 mph. Feel like something with the drive train. They stated it was a common Pilot all of these issue the dealer dismiss because they stated it was all in Honda specific. I believe that for a vehicle that is less than 1. 5 years old, this is just [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Tires on 2011 Honda Pilot are needed to be replaced at less than 35000 miles. The goodyear fortera hl tires that came standard are listed at a 60000 mile warranty if bought new. They have also worn completely uneven, despite rotation, where three of the tires have about 5% tread left and one tire has about 30% tread.

The four good year tires on my 2011 Honda Pilot are defective (premature wear). The dealer recommended I discuss the problem with my local good year dealer which I did. I was informed by good year that the tires on my Pilot were substandard and said the reason was Honda had requested tires without long-wear capabilities. Our local dealership has offered to sell my new tires for our Pilot at $140,00 each. This situation stinks and I believe would make a great class action suit. How many others are facing the prospect of having to purchase new tires for their Pilot due to premature wear? why would someone want to pay $35,000 for a new Pilot with substandard, defective tires?.

Driving along a two lane highway on a 20 degree morning and coasting around a gently curving corner to the right at 45 mph when an unexpected jarring and pulling to the left occurred coupled with a loss of speed and the vsa letters and a triangle indicator lights lit on the dash board. . Needless to say this got my attention and luckily nothing was coming from the other direction. I had not touched the brake pedal until after the initial problem occurred and when I saw the lights and went along maybe 200 to 300 yds it did it again which got me very worried. I pulled over and turned the engine off and tried to reset the car but to no joy so I drove the remainder of my commute to work with the very same lights left on. The remainder of my drive was fine but not sure if I am safe driving with this anomaly and especially the sudden self braking, when will it happen next?.

As soon as the vehicle was driven out of the lot, 17 miles on the odometer, after the vehicle was purchased, a vibration was felt coming through the seats at 75 mph. And multiple resonance frequencies can be felt through the chassis into the interior of the vehicle. This vibration is constant between 65 mph to 78 mph (highway speeds) and it get worst during longer periods of driving. These frequencies of vibrations are transmitted to your lower back causing stress and back pain. In addition the interior parts of the car (dash, panels, radio, center console, dvd, etc. ) are becoming loose and it can be felt during driving causing a distraction to the passengers. Multiple repairs attempts are being performed by Honda dealers and they decided to tell the costumers that this is part of the car design since they re-designed the chassis and suspension to be stiffer for the 2013 models. Multiple complaints are being reported by different customers around the us but not repair has been performed and will not be performed. We do no¿¿t want to wait until a tire/wheel becomes loose and kill a family or multiple families on the highways because of an unsafe condition on these vehicles. Also, power steering problems and brake issues (after longer periods of driving, 2+hrs) have been reported without being corrected after multiple attempts.

Noticed a vibration in the gas pedal while driving at any speed. Feel every like bump in the roads. Also when slowing to a stop and turning or backing out of a parking spot, I feel/hear a hard vibration on brake. Took to dealer, they stated warped rotors. . . To new to happen. Got full brake job at $340. Drove off, issue still present. At this visit tires were rotated and balance too. Next day also noticed all 4 rims were damaged from the tool that removed my tires. Told supervisor everything I learned about other Pilot owners and this possible defeat of rotors. They still have my truck (4 days so far) trying to identify issue. They do agree there is an issue. They are going to do road force balancing next. I will fight for a refund of this brake job and will continue to pursue until I am satisfied.
