2007 Honda Pilot owner complaints

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Honda pilot. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v344000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The dealer stated that the parts were on back order. The manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

SRS (airbag malfunction) red light came on 2007 Honda pilot ex for no apparent reason. The SRS red light stays on while driving. Vehicle age only 3 years old with zero accident history. Worried about so called "Honda reliability". This is a safety issue no doubt. *tr

I called south hills Honda, 3663 washington rd, mcmurray, pa 15317 on october 12th, 2016 for passenger side air bag replacement and it has been over 2 months with no call back indicating this part is available for replacement. Honda knew that this part would need replaced when they replaced the same air bag in the drivers side. When I had drivers side replaced shh made we wait until I threatened to contact Honda motor company as to my having to wait for two plus hours on a scheduled 15 minute repair. Now Honda and shh are requesting I keep the front passenger seat unoccupied while I wait for this repair, except they are not being responsible to get this done in a timely manner. *tr

We made an appointment in august with the bob rohrman Honda in lafayette, in to replace the passenger side airbag. At that time, they told us that the part was not available, but that they would call us to let us know when it was and to make arrangements for the repair. Four months later, we had heard nothing. My wife called today and discovered that they had the part but did not call us. How could such an important safety issue be disregarded by the dealer?

While driving with headlights on during daylight hours, we noticed a burning smell as we arrived at our destination. It was dark when we returned home and the headlights seemed very dim when using low beams. We were in a very rural area and able to use high beams for most of the trip. When switching to low beams due to oncoming traffic, I had difficulty seeing the road. When we reached the highway and had to use low beams more, it was obvious something was wrong. I used high beams as much as possible. At one point, I switched to low beams as a car passed me. The lights were dim again but suddenly brightened up a second after switching to low beams (possibly due to a bump in the road?) and I realized we had been driving with only fog lights for the past 30 minutes. Without the fog lights, w

Most of the climate control lights on my 2007 Honda pilot have been out for a while. I bought this vehicle new and have taken excellent care of it; no wrecks, etc. The climate control lights continue to go out a few at a time. This causes night driving to be dangerous due to being unable to adjust anything with a quick glance. I've actually had to turn on the overhead light to see which button to push. Obviously, this takes my attention from the road, causing distracted driving. I've researched and found that this seems to be a common problem with Honda pilots. It's hard for me to believe that such a wonderful vehicle and company would have sub par parts or a problem that causes this to happen. I've had other cars (much older models) that have never had an interior light go out. I'd just l

SRS indicator illuminates periodically for no obvious reason. Dealership read code 92-20 open/short in passenger airbag cutoff circuit; stated could be interference with ac inverter but don't use that in vehicle; did not attempt to fix the problem, sent me back home to monitor if it happened again. With nothing in passenger seat, SRS illuminates as well as with items in seat. As of 11/26/12, illuminated steadily for multiple trips (usually does not illuminate on every road trip). Honda defaults to no airbag deployment if SRS indicator is illuminated, so I am driving with no active airbags and two children with me in the car. *tr

Found transmission fluid leaking on floor and can see fluid on under side of vehicle. Technician found leak was from left side of transmission-due to casting spot in case allowing fluid to leak. Date of failure 12/12/2006. Mileage date of failure 572. Transmission was replaced . *jb

Purchased a 2007 Honda crv ex-l AWD on 12/04/06. At 1000 miles I began to hear a noise coming from the rear differential upon turning sharply to the right and left at slow speeds. The vehicle was cold during this time and would cease any noise after driving 5 to 10 miles and warming up. Took the vehicle to the original Honda dealer and the service dept. Promptly inspected the rear differential and stated that it was a little low on fluid. Service replaced the rear differential fluid. Noise is still present when vehicle is cold and turned right or left during low speed. Sounds like a whirring, low rumbling or grinding noise. *Honda pilot entered for model crv not available in menu...*jb

Honda 2007 cr-v ex 4wd purchased from white plains Honda, ny on 11/22/06 brand new vehicle, 3 weeks old, 500 miles major failure of rear 4wd differential assembly - complete replacement required customer observed groaning noise occurs at rear of vehicle whenever tight radius turns are made at low speed such as turning in/out of parking spaces. Problem occurs regardless whether vehicle is cold or warm. Problem must have been pre-existing in showroom and is likely to be a production line defect. Honda service tech unable to remedy. Complete replacement of defective assembly ordered. Honda service tech claimed that car is able to be driven, however customer is very concerned that vehicle may not respond safely or underperform its design capability when most urgently needed such as during

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Honda pilot. While driving 55 MPH, a burning rubber odor was detected along with a thumping vibration and noise; when brake pedal was depressed the brakes did not respond normally but the thumping vibration was even more apparent. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the brake calipers were locking up and ruining the rotors; after replacement of calipers and rotor, the problem persisted with extensive overheating of the brakes. It was then determined that the vehicle stability assist module had failed and needed replacement. The mechanic contacted the closest Honda dealer (approximately 70miles away) who advised that the vehicle should be rapaired by the mechanic and not driven to the

When turning on the driver's side seat heater it got extremely hot. Most recently it actually burned the seat foam and began to smoke. I will not use it anymore for fear of a fire or possible injury. Honda is very aware of the problem but will not acknowledge the issue and has instructed the dealership to ignore as if it does not exist. This is a serious problem that must be addressed. I realize nothing last forever but this should have a safety fuse installed to prevent injury. Thank you *tr

Driver's seat front left mounting bracket snapped. Seat now rocks backward under pressure or during acceleration, and runs the risk of detaching completely in a collision. Over one hundred reports of similarly compromised driver's seats in Honda Pilot series 2003 - 2007 (mine is a 2007). Available for inspection upon request. Honda needs to issue a safety recall before injuries and fatalities start occurring.

Lamont sold me a lemon vehicle. Lamont managed to get a false inspection form and provided it to me and stated the vehicle has passed inspection. Once vehicle was taken to multiple mechanic shops to find out if its even able to be fixed and as 3 mechanics stated I was sold a lemon car and they are "Unable to fix" the problem. Lamont was contacted on multiple times through calls/text msgs, and voice mails and as of today none of my calls were answered. Lamont then blocked my number and continued to avoid me and the car situation he put me through. I've been trying to reach him every day since the last time he gave me the vehicles documents. I am filing this report to the best of my knowledge with the information he gave me for the vehicle. I would love to get a refund back of all my money s

Several months ago the vsa light began to come on momentarily, for no reason. This has happened 50-100 x. Several weeks later, the steering wheel began to be sometimes (daily) not true (at one oclock), though the car was moving straight. (turning the wheel turned the car.) the ABS began momentarily firing, for no reason, and the car would slow, sometimes severely. (we were not braking.) the car would lose power momentarily, for no reason, though the engine continued to run, and everything else was normal, with no noise (e.g., no ABS). Recently the above happen every day. Sometimes the vsa and ABS happen at the same time. All happened when driving straight or turning. We were not driving fast. There were no emergency conditions. On dec 20, we began a left turn at 5 MPH. The ABS fired for 4

Timing belt/tensioner resulting in loud noises. Already replaced once at 100k now recurring at 148k.

Dealer sold me a lemon car with broken and rotten parts on the car. Dealer never stated the car was messed up or needed the major work it needs now. Dealer at one point took the car to go get inspected at a shop located on 705 Jefferson Ave , "and hour later he came back with the car and parked it. Couple days later dealer called me to go get the inspector form form the inspector " Gilbert/Tony". While viewing the paper correctly, the car was never inspected properly. Once I was able to take the car to a shop to do my own inspection they stated to me that I was sold a lemon car and it would be almost thousands to fix the car "more then i had purchase the car. I called the dealer back multiple times and sent msgs to the dealer regarding the vehicle dealer then blocked my number and the mech

I was starting to pull into the garage to pick up my mother and daughter when the accelerator stuck and kept increasing speed and I was unable to get it to slow down or stop. This is a double car side of the garage and my daughters car was on the right side of the garage so proceeding at a slow cautious speed is necessary. The Honda pilot proceeded to slam into the two refrigerators and one freezer causing extensive damage to the vehicle, the refrigerators and freezer, the house has structural damage, and the airbag deployed causing the me to jam my toe, fracture my wrist in two places, and sprain my back. I had previously scheduled an appointment for the next day to have the oil changed with the local Honda dealer. When I called to cancel the appointment and explained what happen they

I have a 2007 Honda pilot with original equipment tires. They are bridgestone dueler h/t 684. I have 11,700 miles on the vehicle. I was riding today in a light to moderate rain and hydroplaned across the lane after running through some standing water. The tires are worn to the point that they are not safe to drive. *tr
