Takata recall - my VIN # is showing 0 recalls, however, I have had to go in twice for a recall on my vehicle. Why is your website recording 0 recalls? I was in a four car accident in 2016 (I believe, may have been late 2015) and my airbags did not deploy. There was 1 car in front that didn't get hit bad, but the two vehicles behind me had their airbags deployed. I have the same Honda pilot today, but it worries me that they should have deployed but didn't due to the issue with the inflators. This vehicle accident I had was prior to this inflator recall. I was driving in traffic on the highway and was moving, but very slowly.

While driving on the highway the side airbag by the driver popped out and blew up. No collision no blown tires. The vehicle was in motion on a highway

The right low beam head headlight does not turn on. After buying a new bulb and checking the fuse.the fuse is fine. *tr

Low beam headlights on 2006 Honda pilot do not shine very far when going down a hill. There is a divider bar between lower (low beam) and upper (high beam) lights that limits the distance the low beam shines when at the bottom of a hill and proceeding up another hill. *jb

Passenger side dim lights and parking light will not work. *tr

Dave at Beard Auto Repair in downers grove, Il told me: Whole rear subframe rotted away from the main frame Shock support rotted away Suspension completely detached - not safe to drive AT ALL. Not even for 5 minutes. Subframe holds all your suspension One severe bump could make wheels fall off and roll away Im thinking the recall on the older CRVs should probably be extended to Pilots as well since I'm having similar issues as listed in this recall article. [XXX] Honda Corportate told me to bring to nearest dealership and have them inspect and provide diagnosis so they can assess what they can do for me. They’ve have it for 2.5 months. I’ve called and emailed 30 times and still have not been given an answer. I see online that tons of people in rust belt states are having t

We were leaving the driveway on christmas eve, we suddenly heard a loud thunk followed by a grinding noise from beneath the vehicle. We stopped immediately and exited the vehicle to see what had happened. I expected to find that we had run over a bicycle but instead found the entire rear axle hanging from the springs. Both rear suspension mounts had catastrophically failed pulling completely out of the subframe. The subframe crossmember and a number of components were found to be heavily rusted and severely structurally compromised. We had planned to drive about 80 (predominantly freeway) miles each way that day to visit family for the holiday. It is a small miracle that these failed in the driveway and not on the freeway at 70 miles per hour. A catastrophic failure like this at freeway

I had just started slowing down to turn at a stop light when the vsa warning light came on and my car became hard to steer. It almost came to a complete stop but I was at a major intersection and had no choice but to try and keep driving to avoid getting hit. I somehow managed to get it turned but it didn't want to speed up when I tried to accelerate. I managed to get into a parking lot and turned it off. I let it sit for a few minutes as we caught our breath (two of my kids were with me and it had scared them too) and then cranked it up again. The vsa light was gone but when I put it in reverse to see what it would do, it wouldn't move. It was like the parking brake was on. I then realized that's what it seemed like as I was driving when it happened. I'd thought the car wasn't wanting to

We are original owners of this 2006 pilot ex-l and are experiencing dangerously hot conditions with the drivers seat. On high setting it is unbearable and seems much hotter on the left side base portion. On low setting it is much hotter than normal also. I have noticed a slight electrical smell and am very concerned. Please advise. *tr

The rear door/hatch of our 2006 Honda pilot has an issue with the latching mechanism. The actual mechanism on the rear hatch has become disconnected from the frame and is able to move freely about. This causes the rear hatch to not latch, latch partially, or latch but still allow the rear hatch to slightly move. The latching mechanism is only being held in place (in a confined area) by the plastic paneling of the car. Since the latch is no longer attached to the frame, the movement of the mechanism determines if the rear hatch is going to latch or not. When it is latched, the only item securing the mechanism is the plastic paneling. The mechanism itself is not defective or broken however; the way the mechanism has been secured seems to be the issue. The most concerning aspect is how a doo

While moving slowly in a private drive and turning steering wheel to the right the car suddenly accelerated to full throttle causing the car to crash into another parked car and a support post of a carport

About 9 days ago our Honda Pilot (parked, off, keys out of ingnition) had a malfunction in the drivers side heated seat and caught fire burning half the seat and the door, this could have happened while driving which makes this a massive safety issue, I had previously had my car checked out only days prior to incident and nothing was found. There was no indication, warning lights anything to tell us this would happen No one has checked the car since because we have no money and the car is no longer legal to drive

Most of button lights on climate control dash and cruise/vsa/sunroof stopped working. I believe they burnt out. Happened to lots of Honda owner too. Honda dealership asks for $200-300 to fix this. It's ridiculously expensive to fix their mistake. *tr

Gas mileage for the vehicle is not as advertised. I am getting 20 MPG for mixed use driving (mostly highway). The epa estimates are 20/28. *nm

Traveling on a desolate highway, I heard my son whimper in the back seat. To my horror, I saw that he had tangled the seatbelt around his neck and was being lifted from his seat by it. My husband pulled off the road and we lunged back to release the belt. We then realized that he was not trapped by his own seatbelt but by the seatbelt designed for a center passenger in the second row. This belt comes down from the ceiling and connects at the seat to a latch designed without a quick release button. The latched belt had been resting against the seat behind my son's right shoulder. Playing with that belt, he had pulled it far enough to activate the retraction feature. Then he wrapped it around his head. When it began to tighten, he panicked, and it slipped down around his neck and tigh

Car was parked. I started it up and put it in reverse and it did not move. I put it back in drive and didn't' move, waited for a few minutes, tried again and the brakes squeezed really tight but was back to normal. Drove to work and on the way back brakes got tight and started to overheat and smoke came out of the passenger side front wheels. Stopped by the side of the road, waited for half an hour until cooled down and called a tow service. Call local Honda dealer and they do not have a recall even though there are more than 200 complaints.

When driving on hwy there is sometimes a shudder at speeds bet 55-65mph.after checking the internet for similar problems it appears it might be the torque converter. Honda recalled the Acura with the same problem but not the pilot.
