Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle backed out of an angled, on-street parking spot. Camera and visuals indicated all clear. An individual driving westbound struck my vehicle as I backed out. Point of impact was at driver's side bumper. Only the right side (passenger second and third row) curtain airbags deployed. Airbag deployment did not align with the damage. Low speed collision, no injuries.”
NHTSA complaint #11217351, filed 2019-06, 60,000 miles“The compass started flashing I call the dealership they said that to calibrate it back just drive in a circle on a parking lot. That would work but the flashing has appeared more often and now it won't go away. It flashes all the time and it is distracting while driving. It has the possibility of causing an accident specially at night. Please I need this defect recalled asap. Ps. I'm screenshooting this request for proof of reporting in case something happens.”
NHTSA complaint #11043815, filed 2017-11, 45,000 miles“Takata replacement air bags did not deploy. The Pilot was traveling at 45 MPH on a secondary 4 lane highway. A truck pulled out onto the highway and the Pilot t-boned the truck. There was significant front end damage but no air bag deployment. The insurance inspector stated that two of the stages for deployment had been activated. I have more pictures and a dash cam video of the wreck.”
NHTSA complaint #11190003, filed 2019-03, 60,000 miles“I have never been in an accident other than being rear ended and it was not major. My air bag light would not go out. My seat belt alarms would no longer work and my locks would not work automatically. My air bag module(srs unit) needed replaced. It effected my airbags, seat belts and my power locks. The dealership did not know that the locks could even be effected but as soon as is was replaced the locks worked as they did prior to the malfunction. I have had a couple mechanics tell me that the module should not ever go bad unless I have been in an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11405388, filed 2021-03“Takata recall - I currently lease a 2015 Honda Pilot from virginia. Because of the military, my family and I are now in las vegas. After reading about the recalls, calling american Honda, and 3 different dealerships, I found out the recalled airbag part numbers are the same exact part numbers in my car. Not one of the places I called are willing to help fix it without there being an actual recall, so I'm driving a death trap with my children waiting around for the company to catch up and place a recall on the newer model vehicles as well. …”
