Example complaints

“While driving my 2019 Honda Pilot at 25mph or 60mph, without warning in the speedometer area emergency messages began flashing: power steering, transmission, lane mitigation, brakes, cruise control, engine, etc. With a message that says stop the vehicle and call the dealer. Their instruction is to hold the stop/start button down,until the car stops and then start the vehicle,if you can, and head for the dealership. The problem is the message continues while you continue driving. The transmission does not shift properly, and the steering feels less responsive. …”
NHTSA complaint #11231195, filed 2019-07, 11,050 miles“At a stop light the my car turned off and did not come back on for 5 mins. I am aware of the auto stop feature for fuel efficiency but I was in a turning lane. I literally could have been in an accident. The car brakes were locked in could not even put the car in neutral or park the car was just off completely. No signs of over heating, battery failure, etc.”
NHTSA complaint #11478321, filed 2022-08“My 2019 Honda Pilot alignment pulls badly to the right while driving on any type of road surface. I have had the vehicle aligned numerous times and the car still pulls to the right. I have heard from other people friends of mine that own Pilots that they have this issue as well. Honda needs to look into this as it is a safety problem out on the road. The problem has been confirmed by my tire dealer and my mechanic the problem continues. No warning lights have ever appeared.”
NHTSA complaint #11586060, filed 2024-04“Since we purchased the vehicle back in 2019, the truck would stall and want to shut off during driving on and off. We received the recall information back in August and were told to call and make an appointment to service the recall. Back in August they said they didn't have enough parts in stock to service the recall and they would call me when more parts became available. Now we are in December and the truck is getting worse and we have not received any information regarding service to it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11629789, filed 2024-12“On 4-30-21, my 2019 Honda Pilot was repaired per recall for sudden loud speaker popping. I'd complained about that issue since buying the car. I'd also complained since purchase about frequent false collision mitigation system errors some of which engaged the brakes. On Monday May 3, 2021 I was on a highway off-ramp going about 30 MPH when my steering wheel suddenly locked up, the collision mitigation system sounded, the brakes engaged, and the car began to swerve into the oncoming lane over the double yellow lines. …”
