“Latch on the rear pull down door will not hold tight. I close it so that the rear door seems closed well and tight. After driving a little while, very often, my light comes on showing rear pull down lock is not closed! When I check it out, I find that it is not closed tight. I can see it protruding slightly, compared to how it looked as I closed it initially! I can't tell exactly when it began it wasn't that often and I thought I or my husband just didn't close it tight enough.”

There was no visible rust on the undercarriage; the subframe mounts rusted from the inside out. …”

NHTSA complaint #10679846, filed 2015-01, 76,000 miles“When driving my Honda Pilot (2006) the check engine light will com one with indicating a problem with the vsa. What happens next is the car slows down significantly and comes to a complete stop. Which means you can be on the highway and the car slows down. I check to see if there was a recall on this issue, and there is one for the 2005 model, not the 2006. However, it is the same problem, which means the problem was not fixed in the next model year. I reached out to Honda corporate and they indicated that they had no recall for this issue for the 2006 model and could not help me. …”
