NHTSA complaint #10725188, filed 2015-06, 120,228 miles“I am the original owner of a 2004 Honda Pilot. We were driving down the highway about 65 MPH and had what we thought was a blowout. Huge bang and thud. We went to put the spare on and saw that the rim had split in two right down the center groove, with two fist size holes on each side. The dealer said I must have hit something big, but I was in the car and know that we didn't. Dealer said that he would cover it just this once and put a new rim and two new tires on the car. Dealer said that he was sending the rim back to Honda. …”
NHTSA complaint #10139245, filed 2005-10, 19,500 miles“The steering became extremely loose over time on my Honda Pilot posing significant safety concerns because of it. The tires adamantly follow all the divets, lines, grooves, and bumps in the road causing me to lose control of the vehicle very easily in poor driving conditions. This is especially exaggerated during inclement weather such as snow or rain. Recently, due to the steering looseness, I lost control of the vehicle and hit a mailbox damaging the entire right side of the vehicle. Please help to work with Honda to resolve this issue. Thank you!”

NHTSA complaint #10907530, filed 2016-09, 207,584 miles“This vehicle from original purchase has had a wheel vibration that seems to be incorrectable by dealer.
