2004 Honda Pilot Brakes Problems

“I was approaching a light where a vehicle was moving but suddenly stopped because of traffic ahead. When I applied my brakes, the brake when immediately to the floorboard and there was a click. My car did not slow down but slid directly into the car in front of me causing front end damage to my car. My rate of speed was 25-30 miles per hour.”

“Upon taking off at the stop light I accelerated to 35 miles an hour then changed lanes as I was nearing my destination ,the car sped out of control and reached speeds over 65 miles an hour,I stood on the brake and stepped on the emergency brakes while steering the vehicle away from other vehicles, the emergency brakes stopped the vehicle, I had a new ignition switch put in at a cost to me of 700.dollars six month in the fall of 2013..this was a most dangerous incident, people must know this., I tried to re[port it online to NHTSA it said ''25 '' complaints only.???”

“Several incidents of gas pedal sticking upon acceleration. On may 14, 2009, I informed Honda dealership and they did a fuel induction cleaning service. However the problem continued. Then on november 10, 2009, I informed the Honda dealer that gas pedal continued to stick and it was hard t push the pedal also. Dealership cleaned throttle body and plate. This problem continues and I have seen on customer Honda websites that this problem is widespread. My wife and I are both in our 70's and are worried about an accident occurring because of the gas pedal sticking. There should be a recall.”

“I was parked in the driveway on a completely flat surface. I put the car in reverse to back out of the driveway. I touched the accelerator pedal lightly to get the car moving, the car accelerated wildly. I stomped on the brake, which went to the floor. I had time to look down and see that my foot was on the brake pedal and to stomp on the emergency brake. The car did not slow down at all. The vehicle continued accelerating until it smashed into a tree going approximately 30 MPH (estimated). A couple hours before the wreck a previously unseen brake error light came on the dash. …”

“I have severe brake shuttering and the steering wheel shakes when I apply the brakes. It starts out as a minor shudder and shake at first, and then over time gets progressively worse, until it is quite vigorous. A little background: the car is a Honda certified car- 2004 Pilot I bought 2 years ago. As a condition of the sale, the dealer (sam swope in louisville, ky) said they would fix a shimmy in the steering wheel, and a grinding of the brakes. They said it was a minor problem. The brakes were repaired 2 weeks before I bought the car. …”
