Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Pilot was parked and when I went to get in it to leave, I noticed the rear window looked weird. Walked around back and the back glass had just exploded. Glass was bulging with a large missing piece. It was cracked all the way thru and on the passenger side was a big piece missing where a rear defroster module would be located. The glass was still creaking when I realized this happened. It was not caused by something hitting it as there was not glass in the inside. I think it was caused by the rear defrost which was not on at the time. Glad it did not happen when I was driving. …”

“I took my vehicle in due to a recall on the coaxial cable that was causing the electronic to malfunction and make a constant electrical popping sound. Shortly after that was replaced, the multipurpose camera started to malfunction and eventually gave out completely. I have warning lights constantly and cannot use any safety features in the vehicle, not even the cruise control. After much research this is an issue for thousands of Honda owners and is absolutely a safety issue. I’m scared to death to drive this car.”

“The dashboard looks like a christmas tree all the brake lights are on, I googled this and its supposedly a known issues. I'm not sure if the brakes are safe or not.”

NHTSA complaint #11681771, filed 2025-08

“While driving on my way home from work (24 mile drive) I received on my dashboard faults that flashed briefly for my steering, lane keeping assistance, lane departure, forward collision, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and parking collision (warning lamps). My radio also had cut out at the same time. While that occurred my steering wheel jerked suddenly while going straight at speeds around 60mph. I brushed it off as a communication issue since it is known to occur on these vehicles, but the steering wheel jerking was new to me. …”

“In late December of 2023, our 2020 Honda Pilot began showing a brake system warning light, as well as numerous dashboard warnings indicating that automatic cruise control, lane keeping assist, collision mitigation, automatic high beam, and lane departure were not functioning properly. Our local Honda dealer diagnosed the vehicle as having a multipurpose camera failure. There were no accidents or damage of any sort that preceded this incident, and replacement of this camera cost us nearly $2000 out of pocket (invoice attached). …”
