My child's radian 80sl super-latch comes loose even on short car rides. Once the belt is tightened down it comes loose with normal driving. The car seat is installed correctly and is installed tightly. Also, I can put pressure on the tilt-lock mechanism with one finger and it comes completely loose. (related vehicle information: model year=2010, make=pilot, model=Honda). *tr

engine 3 complaints shown
Excessive oil consumption cause engine pistons to blow. Seems to be a common issue. No check oil light came on or any indication that the car was low on oil. Received oil change 2k miles prior. Mechanic said this is a common issue he has seen with my year and motor. I owe $12k on a car worth nothing that I can no longer drive.
We were told by several service technicians at the wolfchase Honda in bartlett, tn that there was a recall on all 2010 Honda pilots, (ours is a touring FWD), due to a miss-firing issue. We purchased our pilot 9/2015 and repeatedly reported that the car was miss-firing, which caused the check engine light to appear. When we took it in for oil changes, the techs would tell us to do a gas treatment, such as lucas (they did it once themselves), or to change the air and cabin filters. We did that, and the problem persisted. Upon each oil change, the dealership would just reset the check engine light and tell us nothing else was wrong. We have since checked for complaints on the web, and saw that numerous consumers have the same issue & a law suit settlement . We have contacted american Honda,

electrical 2 complaints shown
Electrical short in driver's side outside power mirror. When adjusted in, a short blows fuse #36 (10a). It also looses power heater, defoggers (front and rear). 63,000 miles.
Since the day we bought the car the door locks (especially the driver side) squeal upon locking and unlocking. Upon regular maintenance we brought to the attention of service and the door locks were replaced. The problem continued. Issue was mentioned again to service and we were under the impression the door locks were replaced again (however, they were not - parts were ordered, but not installed). The issue has now moved beyond squealing as the driver door occasionally fails to unlock upon turning off ignition. (the driver door is supposed to unlock automatically, but now fails). We feel this has changed from being simply annoying to a safety issue. If there were an accident the driver door may fail to unlock and the driver could possibly be trapped. However, because we are 3,000 miles p

My wife was driving down the street and she was going to get into another lane she checked her mirrors and took a glance over her shoulder. When she looked back she noticed a car had stopped in the lane. She then slammed on her brakes in which at that time she said it felt that like the car was still pulling against her braking. After she hit the person in front of her pushing the adverse vehicle forward. Her car then continued accelerating as she was braking and slammed into the adverse vehicle again. Her car only stopped by putting the car in park. *tr

airbags 2 complaints shown
Takata recall - we received the initial recall letter from Honda and immediately took our vehicle in for service. We were told that parts would be ordered and it could take 3 months. 6 months have passed and the airbag has not been repaired. With 2 small children who ride in the vehicle each day, this is unacceptable. We ask for your help in getting our airbag(s) replaced.
I have called the walnut creek Honda service center twice to schedule a safety recall for my vehicle (the last time was 8/26/16). They have not returned my phone call and have not been diligent in getting this recall taken care of. I would like someone to help me get this resolved. I don't want my passengers hurt in case of an accident.

steering 1 complaint shown
My vehicle is a 2010 Honda pilot touring. The body of the steering wheel has a hole in the plastic casing on each side--I think to give access to a screw. These holes fall fairly close to where my fingers naturally lie while driving. Today, while driving on the highway, my index finger got entrapped in one of these holes at the first knuckle. This prevented me from steering. I pulled off the highway and managed to extricate my finger. However, this would have been very dangerous if I had been required to make any turns, and it can easily be fixed with a plastic plug. Admittedly, I shouldn't have stuck my finger in the hole--but if I can be that silly, so can other people. *tr
