2011 Honda Pilot Problems

On XXX at approximately 6:04 PM, the vehicle was being driven on a highway in [XXX] — after dark, during an active snowstorm, on slick roads, at approximately 40 MPH — when the front passenger-side airbag deployed spontaneously with no collision, no impact, and no warning of any kind. There were no prior warning lamps or symptoms. The deployment cracked the windshield and caused interior damage. The component is available for inspection upon request. This vehicle had the Takata recall performed in 2019. The failure is believed to be related to NHTSA Recall 19V502000 (Honda Recall Nos. F5F/Q5E), covering 2009-2015 Honda Pilots with passenger frontal airbag inflators that may explode due to propellant degradation from humidity and temperature cycling. A spontaneous deployment with no crash is consistent with this defect. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Honda dealership. Technician findings included: blown fuses 9 and 11, diagnostic system crashing repeatedly, complete loss of SRS/ABS/gauge communication, burning smell from the airbag inflator, copious F-CAN malfunction codes, and DTC U0151. Technician concluded: "ADVISE replacing deployed passenger airbag and inflator assembly." The dealership confirmed the component needs replacement but could not determine the cause. A spontaneous airbag deployment at highway speed during a snowstorm with no crash poses extreme risk to the driver and public. This incident warrants investigation to determine whether recall remedy parts from prior Takata campaigns are continuing to fail in other vehicles.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2011 Honda Pilot. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale from the Facebook Marketplace on 2/25/26. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 144,135. After retrieving a Carfax Report, the contact discovered that the mileage was 204,000. The contact stated that while driving at speeds of 35 MPH or lower, there were sounds of an electrical system failure coming from the vehicle. The following morning, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced.

STEERING HAS FELT LOOSE FOR AS LONG AS I REMEMBER. TIRES WERE LASTING ONLY 15K MILES AND FRONT BRAKES GO BAD YEARLY. I HAVE A GOOD 1 TO 2 INCHES OF PLAY TURNING THE WHEEL TO BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT. I ASKED MULTIPLE MECHANICS TO TIGHTEN THE STEERING COLUMN DOWN INCLUDING HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT MECHANICS BUT THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE. WHEN I MOVED FARTHER AWAY FROM MY KIDS SCHOOL IN 2018 I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED BY HONDA FOR ANYTHING WRONG SINCE NOW MY KIDS WILL BE COMMUTING 25 MILES TO SCHOOL AND BACK IN IT. SERVICE TOLD ME MY BUSHINGS WERE BAD. MY CAR HAD ABOUT 40K MILES ON IT AT THAT TIME. ALSO AT THAT TIME NO ONE MENTIONED THAT THE PART WAS PREVIOUSLY ON AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OR THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SPINDLE NUTS THAT WEREN'T TIGHTENED DOWN CORRECTLY NOR DID I RECEIVE NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA REGARDING THOSE ISSUES. FROM WHAT I READ ONLINE ABOUT THESE PARTS IS THAT THEY ARE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU CAN LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE AT ANYTIME. I REALLY FEEL THAT THE BUSHINGS WENT BAD FROM THE FACT THAT THE SPINDLE NUTS WEREN'T TIGHTENED DOWN AND EVERYTHING HAS BEEN JIGGLING AROUND AND ADDING STRAIN TO THE REST OF THE SUSPENSION. I THINK THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE BUSHINGS WASN'T ENOUGH. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THOSE PARTS AS WELL. PLEASE ADVISE.

Have a known hacker. They have shown experience on remote hacking using TimeStomping and ECM modifications. I work as an Amazon Delivery driver in Kentucky. My Hackers are my Employer and the Operations Manager. The same hacking to their company vehicles are being done to employees personal vehicles. Forced Limp Mode, Power distribution, Fake sensors malfunctions, and Alarm controls are reoccurring. My entire communications network is compromised. When I called Honda (888) 528-7876) from my Boost Mobile iPhone, the automated system did not recognize my T-Mobile Android phone number that is registered on MyHonda. The person I spoke to asked my name, Vin number, and then asked if the T-Mobile phone number is the one associated with my Honda Pilot. After I mentioned the automated system did not have that number, I was to my number popped up as a caller ID. 2 different phones on 2 different networks acting as one!?!? 05/24/2023 At 11:55 am, I travel from my work to tha gas station. I put air in a tire that seems to leak air sporadically. After about 2 mins, my pilot power systems light turns on. I have already had my battery and systems tested less the 2 months prior, but travel down hwy for 15 miles. While having battery looked at, my pilot deactivated the air-bag system. The Auto Zone employee attempted to pull check engine codes. The first 2 attempts the pilot would not read anything at all. After I explained the previous instances when this had happened before with multiple other vehicles, he was finally able to read multiple (undisplayed) codes. As I travelled to the mechanic, I received a mystery call. Did not answer, but called back on android phone. It was a fund raising auto number. My pilot is hacked and using false time stamps. I was told this was discovered before, but never addressed as a form of undetectable hacking.

BOUGHT 2011 PILOT IN MAY 2010, BRAND NEW. THE BROCHURE STATED THE VEHICLE HAS LEATHER INTERIOR TRIM. TO MY DISMAY TWO YEARS LATER, THE CENTER SEAT DEVELOPED A CRACK AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THE SEAT WAS VINYL. NOT LEATHER! THE HAND REST ON ALL DOORS AND CENTER CONSOLE ARE ALL TORN AND STRETCHED TO REVEAL THE TRIM WAS THIN STRIPS OF SOME SORT OF RUBBER. NOW ALL SEATS ARE ALSO CRACKED AND TORN AFTER THE VINYL HARDENED. I FEEL AS IF I WAS FLEECED BY HONDA. HAD I KNOWN THE INTERIOR WAS RUBBER AND VINYL I WOULD HAVE STUCK WITH THE FABRIC SEATS. ADDITIONALLY THE VEHICLE KEPT SHUTTING DOWN ONLY TO FIND OUT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE 'EATS' BRAKE PADS AND THE EMERGENCY DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I LEARNT THE HARD WAY FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE. I PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY WHICH HAS A VERY SLIGHT INCLINE, PLACED IT IN NEUTRAL AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AND STEPPED OUT, ONLY TO HEAR HORNS BLOWING. ON CHECKING, THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED INTO THE STREET. TO THIS DAY THE DEALER CANNOT FIGURE WHY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE DOES NOT WORK IF THE VEHICLE IS ON AN INCLINE WITH THE BACK TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE INCLINE..

The gas tank bands are rusting out, they are about to break causing the gas tank to fall and probably catch fire. The gas tank protector and gas tank guard are also rusted out to the point of falling off and crumbling rust.

My Honda Pilot 2011 EXL w/ AWD displayed a flashing engine light while driving, which is a sign of a serious engine problem. When it was towed to the Honda dealership, the service representative told me that a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) of P0302 was recovered, which occurs when the spark plugs misfire, and is fully described in Honda's Service Bulletin 13-082: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10152434-0001.pdf. I was told by the Honda service rep that one spark plug was fouled and covered with engine oil, and that I needed to clean the pistons and replace three piston rings along with the spark plug, a $3500+ repair. This costly problem with some Hondas was the subject of a class action lawsuit (Soto v. American Honda Motors), and is known to cause a sudden loss of power while driving, putting the driver, passengers, and other nearby vehicles at significant risk. By way of background, I began experiencing intermittent and temporary electrical system failure and increased oil consumption as early as January, 2021, which was never fully diagnosed until it progressed to a state of engine failure in September. Honda was clearly aware of this problem, yet it failed to take preemptive action to protect Honda owners and others. Rather than recalling vehicles with defective Program Control Module (PCM) software/firmware and updating it on affected vehicles (a relatively inexpensive fix), they allowed drivers to continue to operate their Hondas, effectively playing vehicular Russian Roulette, until their engines failed catastrophically, like mine did.

I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL RELATED TO THE STEERING MECHANISM THAT IS MAKING A LOUD CRACKING NOISE WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, WHEN I BACK UP. WERE TOLD THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE, IT IS BEEN ALMOST ONE YEAR AGO. NO RESPOND FROM DEALERSHIP OR HONDA ITSELF. MY NAME IS [XXX].

THE FOUR GOOD YEAR TIRES ON MY 2011 HONDA PILOT ARE DEFECTIVE (PREMATURE WEAR). THE DEALER RECOMMENDED I DISCUSS THE PROBLEM WITH MY LOCAL GOOD YEAR DEALER WHICH I DID. I WAS INFORMED BY GOOD YEAR THAT THE TIRES ON MY PILOT WERE SUBSTANDARD AND SAID THE REASON WAS HONDA HAD REQUESTED TIRES WITHOUT LONG-WEAR CAPABILITIES. OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS OFFERED TO SELL MY NEW TIRES FOR OUR PILOT AT $140,00 EACH. THIS SITUATION STINKS AND I BELIEVE WOULD MAKE A GREAT CLASS ACTION SUIT. HOW MANY OTHERS ARE FACING THE PROSPECT OF HAVING TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES FOR THEIR PILOT DUE TO PREMATURE WEAR? WHY WOULD SOMEONE WANT TO PAY $35,000 FOR A NEW PILOT WITH SUBSTANDARD, DEFECTIVE TIRES? *TR

Rear view mirror is hazy. This is a problem with most Honda Pilots 2011. The problem is most likely with adhesion or the chemicals tat make up the camera screen and electronics inside the mirror. It is too dangerous to drive with a hazy rear view mirror. Also, headlights get hazy on the Honda Pilot 2011. I think problem is adhesion. In other words, Honda is either did not apply adhesion properly on their lights and mirrors or they used poor material. Please issue a recall and fix these issues.

I WAS TOWING A TRAILER WITH A MOTORCYCLE IN IT. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH AND THE FRONT END STARTED TO VIBRATE REALLY BAD. I DROVE TO A FRIENDS HOUSE AND LEFT MY TRAILER THERE BECAUSE I WAS ON MY WAY OUT OF TOWN. I DIDN'T NOTICE THE VIBRATION ONCE THE TRAILER WAS REMOVED. I NOW HAVE ABOUT 54,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE VIBRATION CAN BE PRETTY BAD WHEN I'M STOPPING HARD AND ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING. I'VE HAD THE TIRES CHANGED AND ROTATED SO I KNOW IT'S NOT THE TIRES. I ALSO HAVE A REAR LEFT TAIL LIGHT THAT KEEPS GOING OUT. I'VE CHANGED IT TWICE BUT IT'S NOT BURNED OUT. I THINK IT MUST BE A SHORT. NOW THE RADIO LIGHTS HAVE STARTED TO GO DIM. I FIRST NOTICED THIS ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. WE GOT A HARD RAIN THIS WEEKEND AND WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR THE NEXT MORNING THE HEADLINER WAS WET AROUND THE SUNROOF ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR
