2010 Honda Pilot Problems

I recently bought this car used and the car and the airbag icon was on and the dealer from where I bought the car. He said that it was a honda air bag recall passenger side and I went to Honda to go and get it replaced and once they fixed it the airbag icon was still on. The car has never been in an accident and the driver side is the issue. I went to the dealership where I bought the car and they gave me a code that they read from the diagnostic test and it read 31-11. The car has never been in a car accident and the driver side is the issue. They said that when Honda made the car they didn't do it right so they should fix it. I need help!

The contact owns a 2010 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and making right turns, the steering wheel lost power steering. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while the vehicle was in idle position. The low pressure oil warning light and the check engine warning light were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The dealer was contacted and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 185,000.

My battery light was on and after charging the battery overnight my wife drove to her workplace, parked the Pilot and then a coworker stated there was a car on fire in the parking lot and it turned out to be mine! The fire department was finally able to put out the fire but the whole front end of the car is totally burnt and part of the cabin inside was also burnt.

STREEING WHEEL SERIOUSLY VIBRATES WHEN BREAKING OVER 60 MPH. FRONT BUSHINGS NEED REPLACED AT 76,000 MILES AND DEALER SAID THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE HYDROLICS CONTROLING THE TIMING BELT WHICH WILL LEAD TO POSSIBLE ENGING REPLACEMENT. DEALER QUOTED $2500 TO FIX. THE INFORMATION ON THE BUSHINGS AND TIMING BELT WAS DISCOVERED WHILE HAVE THE AIR BAG REPLACED. ALSO, THERE WAS ANOTHER CUSTOMER THAT GOT THE SAME NEWS ON HIS CAR. AFTER LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINTS THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS WHICH HONDA DOES NOT HELP WITH AND YOU DON'T KNOW IF THE SAME PROBLEM WILL REOCCUR IF YOU DO FIX. IT DOES APPEAR TO BE A MANUFACTURING/ENGINEERING PROBLEM THAT HONDA KNOWS WELL BUT THERE IS NO HELP FOR THE CUSTOMER. THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO BE LOOKING FOR THESE KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR MORE PROFIT POTIENTAL. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL SERVICED AND USED FOR MOSTLY LONG ROAD TRIPS. HONDA NEEDS TO FESS UP AND HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS SINCE THESE TYPE OF PROBLEMS/FAILURES CAN BE VERY DANGERIOUS TO THE PASSANGERS WHILE DRIVING NOT TO MENTION EXORBITANT COSTS.

THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WHEN SOMETHING HIT MY WINDSHIELD CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ENDING WITH THE VEHICLE BEING ON ITS SIDE AND THE JAWS OF LIFE BEING USED TO REMOVE MY BODY. I LITERALLY DROVE 1/10 OF A MILE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AT A SPEED OF 40 MPH ON A SIDE STREET

Interior rear view mirror glass adhesive deterioration obstructing vision. This is the auto-dimming mirror with reverse camera integrated. This has been a documented issue in online forums. It is as though the mirror is scratched by polishing with an abrasive, but originates behind the mirror glass.

BLINKING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, VAN-4 AND VSA LIGHT ARE ALL ON. I WENT TO GET A CODE AND IT WAS A MISFIRE. THIS HAPPENED THE PAST SUMMER AND I GOT IT REPLACED. HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER AND THEY FIXED IT. EVERY SINCE THEN IT HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME. I LOOKED THIS UP ON THE INTERNET AND IT SAID HONDA WAS FIXING THE ISSUE FREE OF CHARGE 2017 AND EARLIER. I DIDN'T PURCHASE MY VEHICLE UNTIL OCTOBER OF 2017. AND WAS TOLD NONE OF THIS.

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, AND NOW THAT THE RECALL IS OUT OF THEIR TIMEFRAME FOR REPAIRS, (ENDED 10/2017) THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEM EVEN BEFORE THE RECALL PERIOD ENDED, BUT ALL THEY DID WAS A "QUICK FIX" OF CHANGING THE SPARK PLUGS TO "APPEAR" TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THERE HAVE BEEN UNEXPECTED "SURGES" OF THE ENGINE WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD'VE INJURED OR KILLED OUR FAMILY, WHICH INCLUDES 2 ELEMENTARY AGED CHILDREN. THEY NEVER DID THE SECOND STEP OF REPLACING THE PISTON RINGS IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTED, BECAUSE OF THE RECALL DATE. THIS WAS BY DESIGN SO THE BUYER WOULD HAVE TO EAT THE COST ($2448 + TAX). AMERICAN HONDA AND WOLFCHASE HONDA (DEALERSHIP), KNEW ABOUT THE RECALL ON THIS MODEL OF PILOT, EVEN AT PURCHASE TIME, BUT DID NOT TELL US, NOR DID AMERICAN HONDA EVER SEND A RECALL NOTICE FOR IT. ALTHOUGH THEY DID SEND ONE FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAGS THAT WAS ALL OVER THE NEWS. SINCE APPARENTLY, THE MEDIA HASN'T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, HONDA DECIDED TO JUST IGNORE IT AND DENY ANY CLAIMS HONDA CONSUMERS HAVE.

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT BULBS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED EVERY THREE MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

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 PAST OUR WARRANTY HONDA WILL NOT REPLACE DOOR LOCKS AGAIN (EVEN THOUGH THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE DAY OF PURCHASE). THEY HAVE OFFERED TO PAY FOR HALF HOWEVER, WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS HONDA HAS NOT CHANGED THE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM AND FIX WOULD MOST LIKELY BE TEMPORARY. WE WERE ALSO INFORMED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. SEEING HOW IT IS COMMON A POSSIBLY A SAFETY ISSUE, WE BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD NOT ONLY REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS, BUT SHOULD REDESIGN THE LOCKING MECHANISM SO THE ISSUE WILL BE SOLVED. *TR
