“I have a 2010 Honda Pilot with 81,000 miles. The vehicle was parked and running with the air conditioner turned on. The air compressor blew out spewing freon out of the hood. I have read similar complaints from Honda crv and Honda Pilot owners.”

NHTSA complaint #10904347, filed 2016-09, 81,000 miles

“2010 Honda Pilot, I have had it since brand new. This is the 4th or 5th winter I have no brakes when the temps are below freezing. The pedal is basically frozen in place. I have to continually press on it until it loosens as I press down on the pedal. I have had it to allstar Honda, told them park it outside like I have to, hop in & drive on a day in the teen temps. They told me they can't recreate the problem which means they didnt drive it or they are lying as they don't know how to fix it. …”

“The vehicle will randomly start vibrating in the front dashboard. Not sure if it is transmission, engine or suspension or alignment related. Driving over 45 MPH the entire front dashboard and steering wheel will begin to vibrate. It will last for about 10 seconds and then stop. It does a lot going uphill. Even on flat land it will just randomly start violently vibrating. I just purchased this used vehicle on april 19 of 2018. I am starting to regret it. I have read many reports of the Honda pilots vibration issues. I have read that it is mainly due to the vcm.”

“There is a design flaw in the 2010 Honda Pilot in which the condenser in placed within a position that is vulnerable to contact from rocks, pebbles, and other road debris during normal driving conditions on paved roadways, and that Honda failed to design the vehicle either to withstand this impact or with a guard or grill that would protect the condenser despite the clear vulnerability of the condenser to this debris contact. On may 11, 2012, a pebble flew up from the roadway and entered the condenser therefore destroying it. …”
