2014 Honda Pilot owner complaints

When the variable cylinder management kicks in at 2000 RPM the engine vibrates. It does this constantly when the eco green light comes on. Very distracting and annoying. Also is a problem in my sisters 2013 pilots. Dealer knew it was a problem but would not disclose until after I purchased the car. *tr

From 85,000 miles onward, had intermitent misfires on #1 and #2 cylinders. Replaced both plugs and coils on those cylinders. However, intermitent misfires continued. At 105,000, took vehicle for 100,000 mile maintenence. Honda dealer informed me that my vehicle needed new piston rings on cylinder #1, #2 and #3. Oil was leaking past rings and fouling plugs. A $2500 repair!! This issue was admitted and corrected at no charge by Honda on 2009 to 2013 Honda pilots. Obviously, the issue continued into 2014 and should also be covered. Note: I have invoices for above repairs..

Check engine light turned on one day and the vehicle started running rough. Immediately noticed an impact on being able to drive safely and could not operate the vehicle any further. I took the vehicle to a repair shop and they stated the piston rings need to be replaced and I am getting a cylinder #3 misfire. They also stated that my dealership should be able to fix this for free as it should be covered under a recall. I have already brought this vehicle in for a cylinder #3 misfire and cost me a fortune to fix. After researching I found that only models 2009-2013 were covered under this recall. Looking at the other nhsta complaints with people having the same exact issue it is clear that this issue has not been resolved and is yet stll happening in models 2014. Please extend this coverag

Last week I turned on my 2014 Pilot and saw the check engine and VTM-4 dash lights on. When I checked the cause I received error code P0303 - Piston #3 Misfire. Upon researching this error I discovered this issue was addressed by Honda for model years through 2013 because of a class action lawsuit. However models 2014-2015 have the same components and should be addressed/fixed by Honda. I’m lucky to have been in my driveway when I had the misfire, it could have cause an accident had I been on the road. Honda needs to issue a recall for 2014-2015 Pilots.

ABS and Vehicle Stability System Indicator lights remain on. OBD code is 66-13 Pressure Sensor (Inside of VSA Modulator control unit) circuit malfunction. The Honda dealership wants $2600 to fix this ($2100 part + $500) labor. They say this part is back ordered. They say I can still drive the vehicle but it will be like driving an old vehicle (no ABS, etc). Researching on the internet show many people with Honda Pilots have this issue (with various error codes). In my opinon, this is a fragile module that causes all sorts of braking and stability issues.

This car was what is discribed as "run away vehicle" the car was in park, as the ignition was turned off it started rolling, took out a tree which caused the vehicle damage. I was thrown from the vehicle so it proceeded down the driveway without a person in the car. *js

When approaching a stop light,vehicle fails to stop, even with foot firmly on the brake. (as if the accelerator and brake were applied simultaneously) engine speed does not fall below approximately 2,000 RPM.

I made my 3rd visit to another Honda location on 10/27/2017 after having issues with the vsa light and check engine light randomly flashing on and off in my 2014 Honda pilot. The first time I'd taken it in, (roughly 08/2017), I was told it was an 'intermittent failure' which they were required to advise me according to Honda's 'workflow' that must be followed before additional troubleshooting is performed. I was told to leave and continue driving the vehicle. Shortly following, I experienced the same issue. I visited another location (09/2017) and was told that the software was outdated and causing the issue. The software update was performed, but the issue still persisted. My final visit, I spoke with the manager on 10/27/17, I was told the yaw rate sensor was 'bad' and needed to be repla

Wheel welds are faulty. The vehicle has been driven under normal driving conditions since the date of purchase. However, a hairline fracture appears in the wheel weld causing the tire to deflate. The vehicle was originally purchased in january of 2014 and three wheels have been replaced to date because of this issue. While this is obviously a manufacturing defect, my concern is with catastrophic failure of the wheel causing unnecessary injury or fatality. *tr

Both front tire rims on my 2014 Honda pilot have had to be replaced due to cracked rims. The left front rim has been replaced twice. The right front is now cracked. This car is driven under normal conditions. Left front first crack was in 2017. Left front second crack 13 months later. Right front cracked rim nov 2018.

Three rims are leaking and I've taken them to Honda on multiple ocasiones and the only thing they've would tell me is the it needed air in them. When I took the pilot to discount tires for a tire repair they advise me that it was a rim problem.

I have been noticing that when I brake my vehicle shakes - took it in to have the brakes done and the dealership told me that my brakes looked brand new and wanted to send me on my way. I asked well why is it shaking then and I was told that maybe the roaters needed machining a $207 service. This was after they did not bother to call me to tell me my vehicle was ready I just happened to show up an hour after my scheduled appt time so machining my roaters would have been another hour to 2 hour wait. (not happy) so I left and I am still dealing with the vibration. I also noticed within the past week after having to drive in heavy rainfall that when going above 45 MPH I hydroplane badly - to the point where I almost hit a concrete barrier on the highway. The puddle of water was not, in my opi

I have a pearl white 2014 Honda pilot touring that has had paint issues that Honda refuses to fix on the hood. I came outside one day to get in my car and noticed that pint was peeling. I took the vehicle in to the local dealership in colorado springs, co and was directed by them to take it to their collision center to have the paint tested. After the test, the report stated that the paint is indeed factory paint and that Honda didn't put enough paint on the vehicle. I was directed to file a complaint with Honda's corporate office and was told that although they acknowledged that this isn't an isolated incident and that it has been nationwide with this exact model and color, they will not fix the paint unless it was only on the roof or tailgate. This is not the first time this has happened

My paint is flaking. Honda refuses to fix it due to my VIN number not being part of their warranty extension. This is weird since my year, make, model, and paint color match the warranty extension but my VIN does not.

Paint peeling from the roof in large chunks. Seems to be related to tsb apas09282017903.

"takata recall" unfortunately, before the recall both airbags deployed. The passenger side exploded leaving a burn on the passengers leg. The drivers side bag also exploded after deployment leaving a burn on thumb of right hand of driver. The deployment was due to accident involving a deer on a state highway.

We had a huge buck deer run into the drivers side of the vehicle and the drivers side air bag did not deploy. The passengers side air bag did deploy. This is noted in the police report and at the auto body shop where vehicle was towed to. The vehicle was in motion when the deer hit us. The estimate to the insurance company is $9,000.00.

Vehicle shimmies, shakes, vibrates when braking and pulls to the left. Had 26,000 mile on vehicle. Brought to dealership and they said it could be due to breaking, car washes, and weather. Rosters were resurfaced at my expense. Now vehicle has 38,000 miles on it with the same problem. Dealership says it's my fault. All miles are highway and vehicle is garaged at home and during the day at the office.

When accelerating or decelerating from 40 MPH to 60 MPH the transmission makes a horrible rumbling sound and it feels like the car was forced into a lower gear. This seems related to the 'eco' mode and only started after the vehicle had 30,000 miles on it. The dealership called american Honda's headquarters because they agreed with the complaint but was told this is 'normal'. I can't sell the car in this condition even to the dealership so I'm stuck unless I pay for a new transmission.

On [XXX], the Pilot auto-braked without cause while driving on the highway in Maryland. All dash lights were illuminated so [XXX] pulled over. The car seemed to be functioning including the brake system (which was one of the lights illuminated during this occurrence) so the lights on the dash were assumed to be a computer glitch as was the auto-brake that caused the lights to illuminate in the first place. At this time, the center dash did not indicate low oil. [XXX] attempted to make an appointment with DARCARS while she was in town but being a holiday weekend, no appointments were available. [XXX] scheduled the next available appointment at CMA Valley (July 5, 2023). While parking the car on [XXX] the center dash indicated low oil, however, this was perceived as a glitch due to the
