  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CONTACT'S WIFE ADJUSTED THE SUN VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE AIR BAGS SUDDENLY DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT DROVE TO AN UNKNOWN CHEVROLET DEALER TO TRY TO GET THE AIR BAGS TO DEFLATE.

THE MANUFACTURER CALLED BACK AND ASKED THE CONTACT IF HE STRUCK SOMETHING, TO WHICH THE CONTACT DENIED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY FOUND A MARK ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE NEXT TO THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE. THE CONTACT DID NOT RECALL STRIKING ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD SEND PICTURES TO THE MANUFACTURER AND CALL BACK.

  WE BOUGHT A "WHITE DIAMOND PEARL" COLOR HONDA PILOT NEW FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP. WE NOTICED PAINT PEELING FROM THE ROOF A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THAT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. NOW, ABOUT 1/3 OF THE PAINT IS GONE FROM THE ROOF AS IT JUST BLOWS AWAY IN PIECES WHEN I DRIVE. RECENTLY WE NOTICED A NEW SPOT OF PEELING ON THE HOOD THAT WAS BEING HELD IN PLACE BY THE CLEAR BRA. LAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IT CAME LOOSE AND FLEW TOWARD MY WINDSHIELD. I AM LUCKY THERE WAS NO ONE NEXT TO ME BECAUSE I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS A LARGE ROCK COMING UP FROM THE ROAD AND SWERVED. THERE'S NOW AN ADDITIONAL LARGE SPOT OF MISSING PAINT ON THE HOOD. IN DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS SPECIFIC PAINT COLOR. THERE IS NO HAIL OR OTHER DAMAGE TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR WHERE THE PAINT IS PEELING. WE ARE NOW SEEING SMALL AREAS OF PEELING ON THE DOORS AS WELL.

  We were on our way out of town in May 2022 when the car suddenly idled and wouldn't go past 35 mph. The spark plugs would constantly need replacement and we bought a connector which seemed to make them last longer, but eventually still burn out sooner than they should've. We've had diagnostics through friend mechanics and family and cylinder 2 was the main culprit. We took the car to honda recently and there is valve repairs that need to be done, to include all necessary gaskets, water pump and tensioner. There's also need to replace power steering pump, bushings and vtec spool valve. There were no prior indicators, the engine light suddenly came on when the car idled and riding on the highway at 35-40 mph was not very fun or safe. We've left the vehicle in the garage since the malfunction as is since we had other vehicles until we saved funds for the fix. We just didnt think it'd be this high of a cost and granted the car is only 98,800 miles in, i just dont understand how this all could be when my honda accord is 255k and still in good shape with no major fixes... Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

  The contact owns a 2015 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while changing a flat tire on the driver's side front, the OEM jack was placed under the hard point located under the frame behind the driver's side front tire. The contact stated that the jack had a slot on the top of the jack and he matched the slot to the hard point. The contact stated that the vehicle was on a flat concrete driveway. After the vehicle was jacked up and he removed the flat tire, the base of the jack began to bend and the vehicle began to lean. The jack was leaning and could no longer support the weight of the vehicle and collapsed. The rotor was resting on the driveway. The vehicle was finally lifted using a heavy-duty floor jack and the tire was replaced. The contact had called a local dealer who confirmed that the jack was the OEM jack for the vehicle. The contact stated that he purchased a heavier scissor jack with a wider base. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 178,000.

  The catalytic converter system on my vehicle is failing prematurely due to the vehicle’s built-in fuel management and energy-saving computer settings. These settings cause excess fuel to be burned and pushed into the catalytic converter, damaging the unit. In addition, this flaw is causing oil to be pushed out of the car, creating both a mechanical hazard and an environmental concern. This is not the result of poor maintenance or misuse — it is a hazard caused by a design flaw in the system itself.

  Constant mold accumulates inside my car, creating an unpleasant, musty odor that fills the air. Over time, this persistent growth not only detracts from the vehicle's interior appearance but also poses potential health risks for anyone who enters. I have had to clean the car and remove mold repeatedly. This situation is extremely dangerous, especially since I have two small children who are being exposed to mold and mildew, which I believe is affecting their health. I reached out to Honda for assistance, but received no results, concern, or solutions regarding this issue. I have multiple receipts that can verify the mold growth is still ongoing.

  TAKATA RECALL - I CURRENTLY LEASE A 2015 HONDA PILOT FROM VIRGINIA. BECAUSE OF THE MILITARY, MY FAMILY AND I ARE NOW IN LAS VEGAS. AFTER READING ABOUT THE RECALLS, CALLING AMERICAN HONDA, AND 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, I FOUND OUT THE RECALLED AIRBAG PART NUMBERS ARE THE SAME EXACT PART NUMBERS IN MY CAR. NOT ONE OF THE PLACES I CALLED ARE WILLING TO HELP FIX IT WITHOUT THERE BEING AN ACTUAL RECALL, SO I'M DRIVING A DEATH TRAP WITH MY CHILDREN WAITING AROUND FOR THE COMPANY TO CATCH UP AND PLACE A RECALL ON THE NEWER MODEL VEHICLES AS WELL. ALL IT WOULD TAKE IS ONE VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE TO SWERVE INTO MY LANE AND HIT ANYWHERE AT THE FRONT END AND THOSE AIRBAGS WILL INFLATE AND SEND THE METAL SHRAPNEL THROUGH MY NECK AND BODY AND MY PASSENGER'S. I'M WILLING TO JUST GIVE THE VEHICLE BACK, BUT I CAN'T GET ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH HONDA TO EVEN TRY TO HELP. I DON'T KNOW IF IT MATTERS OR IS TRUE, BUT I READ HONDA HAS ALREADY BEEN SUED FOR LYING ABOUT THIS MATTER. ALSO, THE AIRBAG MANUFACTURER HAS UNTIL 2018 TO PHASE OUT THE AIRBAG AND MORE RECALLS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED, BUT WHEN AND UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES DOES THERE HAVE TO BE FOR IT TO HAPPEN. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE SPECIFICALLY IN A 2015 HONDA PILOT BEFORE ACTION WILL BE TAKEN?

• 08/16/2020· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  COMPLAINT - HONDA NO LONGER PROVIDES A MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE FOR THE VEHICLES. IT INSTEAD RELIES ON A MAINTENANCE MINDER SYSTEM. I CHANGE MY OIL MORE FREQUENTLY THAN THE RECOMMENDED 7500 MILES, WHICH MEANS THAT THE MAINTENANCE MINDER NO LONGER WORKS, AS IT IS THROWN OFF BY THE MORE FREQUENT OIL CHANGES, AS WELL AS BY MY LOW MILEAGE. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE 5.5 YEARS, AND RECEIVED ONLY ONE MAINTENANCE CODE DURING THAT TIME PERIOD - WHILE I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE VARIOUS FLUIDS DURING THAT SAME TIME PERIOD TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE AND IN AN EFFORT TO ENSURE PROPER MAINTENANCE OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE FOR THEIR VEHICLES. IF I WERE TO RELY SOLELY ON THE MAINTENANCE MINDER, I FEAR THAT NECESSARY MAINTENANCE WOULD NOT BE PERFORMED. AND NO, I DO NOT USE A DEALERSHIP TO PERFORM MY MAINTENANCE - I USE AN INDEPENDENT SHOP. THIS LACK OF A MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE INCREASES THE RISK FOR IMPROPER MAINTENANCE AND POSES A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD.

  On July 3, 2026 the check engine light, check VSA warning and check emissions warning indicators all illuminated simultaneously and the vehicle began to misfire and sputter which triggered an immediate slow down of traffic behind me. My local Honda dealership acknowledged a known defect with 2013 - 2015 Pilots in which the piston rings deteriorate leading to cylinder misfires. After system diagnostics they confirmed the spark plugs were damaged due to the piston rings defect causing engine misfires, rough idling, and slow minimal acceleration. This situation absolutely placed me, my family and others on the roadway at immediate risk due to the sudden nature of the engine malfunction. While there were no police report or insurance claims the Honda dealer did inspect and perform diagnostics on the vehicle. However American Honda declined any responsibility and refused to repair the vehicle even though this is a known issue with Honda. Prior to this date there were no warning or indication that the vehicle had any issues.
