Example complaints

“Our 2010 Honda Pilot has had to have the front passenger side wheel bearing replaced at only 15746 miles. Had we not taken it to the dealer in a timely manner when we noticed the problem. We may have been involved in a crash. The wheel bearing keeps the wheel turning and had it burnt up as we were told, the wheel would have locked up on us. We feel that no vehicle with only 15k miles on it should be replacing a wheel bearing.”
NHTSA complaint #10413828, filed 2011-07, 15,746 miles“Honda is fully aware of their faulty suspension compliance bushings. From new cars to older cars they are cracking and leaking fluid. This cars was just sold to me in feb of this year and from Honda dealership. This car contains my kids most of the time it concerns me that Honda is not replacing them with a different product then the same faulty ones. Its not uncommon for the control arm bushings on many hondas/ acuras to expire quickly. It is however a bit dangerous to drive with them if they are starting to wear down or dry rot. …”
NHTSA complaint #11010639, filed 2017-07, 120,000 miles“Noticed thumping/rattling noises and vibrations when moving over any size bumps at all speeds (more noticeable at slow speeds. Also, when traveling at moderate to high speeds over a dip in the road, the front end bounced excessively. I took the car to the dealer and complained about the suspension: they said it was normal. The conditions continued and when I took it in for oil change (60,000 miles), I complained again about the suspension, and this time they said it was the compliance bushings ($1000.00 installed). …”
NHTSA complaint #10721165, filed 2015-05, 55,000 miles“Noticed that my Pilot was vibrating after taking it in for a routine oil change at speeds from 45-60mph. Took back in and they explained new tires, alignment and balance would fix. After spending 280$ on brakes 218$ on balancing and alignment and 700$ on new tires still have a vibration. Didn't notice it to be as much but there still is a vibration. I plan to take it in again but refuse to spend anymore money for they to try and figure out what's wrong with it. This is only a 2010 with 38,000 miles . After looking online I have seen other complaints that are very similar. …”
NHTSA complaint #10526075, filed 2013-07, 32,742 miles“Front suspension bushings degrade quickly and vehicle does not keep alignment. Also allows car to shake during high speed braking. Bushings were replaced at 29990 mi, now at 34,500 mi same problem is occurring.”
