2022 Honda Pilot Problems

My 2022 Honda Pilot began experiencing this problem in approximately November 2025. Since then, the vehicle has repeatedly displayed multiple safety-system warnings simultaneously, including Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Lane Keeping Assist Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, and Auto High-Beam Problem. The ACC and LKAS warning indicators also illuminate. The problem is persistent but intermittent. Approximately 95% of the time the warnings and system problems are present. On rare occasions, approximately 5% of the time, the warnings temporarily clear and the systems appear to operate normally, but the problem returns. I took the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership for diagnosis. The dealer documented DTC U3000-49 and diagnosed an “internal failure of the multipurpose camera.” The dealer recommended replacement of the camera followed by camera aiming/calibration. The quoted repair cost was $2,105 plus tax. The repair has not yet been completed because I have not been able to afford the cost of the repair. As a result, I have continued driving the vehicle with these safety systems unavailable most of the time. The failure of the multipurpose camera affects multiple Honda Sensing driver-assistance and collision-avoidance systems at the same time. I consider this a significant safety concern because it affects systems intended to assist with collision mitigation/braking, maintaining lane position, road-departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, and other driver-assistance functions. The simultaneous loss of these systems may increase the risk of a crash, particularly because the malfunction is intermittent and the systems can temporarily return to normal operation before failing again. The malfunction has been confirmed by an authorized Honda dealership and is documented on the dealer repair order. The vehicle and component are available for inspection upon request.

THE UNIT WAS PURCHASED IN JUNE 2022. ALL CARE MAINTENANCE COMPLETED BY AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER. BROUGHT TO HONDA OF [XXX] ON XXX DUE TO CAMERA ELECTRONIC FAILURE. UNIT HAS 34, 162 MILES LOG IN. DTC U3000-49: system indicates camera electronic failure. Recommendation is to replace it. Estimated repair out the door is $2,301.60.

I was driving and the Idle Start Stop was ON and when stopped, the Idle stop system turn OFF my vehicule it went to NEUTRAL when I took my foot out of the pedal the car didn’t want to turn ON again and I was in the middle of the ROAD and almost someone hit me. This issue has happened before multiple time.

My pilot is suffering from the known safety defect where the engine stalls and force shifts into neutral during Auto Idle Stop. The dealership advisor handed me Service bulletin 23-010 admitting my vehicle matches the exact failure criteria. However, they are refusing to cover the failed starter motor under the warranty extension, even though Honda’s own technical documents state that the starter failure is a direct consequence of the low cranking torque and the tight engine valves. I need a corporate case manager to open an urgent case and issue a goodwill authorization to cover the starter the 23-010 valve adjustment. We have purchased 8 Hondas in the last 15 years, service has been a main reason for our return but after the experience today I’m not sure we can continue. The problem is a hazard.

Severe metallic engine knock, metal debris found in drained oil pan by Perfection Honda, pre-intake DTC codes P2651, and active dashboard alert ("Emissions System Problem"). Safety Hazard: Sudden engine stalling/seizure and loss of power steering/braking assistance at highway speeds.

Engine fails to restart after stopping at stop lights or stop signs when AUTO START STOP feature is engaged. My safety as well as others pasenger was drivers safety was at risk since incidents occured on busy exit ramps in Dallas, TX and Southlake Texas. The problem has only been verbally confirmed by the dealer and Honda Corporate that it is a know defect and will only be handled as an extended warranty.

The contact owned a 2022 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked in a parking spot with the brake pedal depressed, the engine revved unexpectedly and independently accelerated and crash into a Ford Bronco, a Jeep Cherokee, another vehicle, and two parking signs. There were no warning lights illuminated during the failure. The contact had made three other stops prior to the crash. There was no injury sustained. The air bags deployed as needed. A Police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The local dealer was contacted, and the contact was informed that the failure was possibly caused by a stuck floor mat. The dealer declined to inspect the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The insurance company was contacted and deemed the vehicle a total loss. The owner had not yet released the vehicle to the insurance company. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.

Brake light wont cut off and drains battery. Car wouldn't start and once battery was charged all steering, cruise control, hill assist, lane assist and other lighs came on. 7 total alerts came on and car struggled to go up hills and speed up after braking at lights. Brake light stayed on entire drive and didnt go off even when the car was off.

I noticed up and down motion that seemed like a rotor problem. I had them look at the rotors and breaks. It was not them. They balance the tires and that didn't fix it. I asked them to do a NVH test to find where the vibration was coming from they told me they would do it and kept my car for the weekend. Monday rolls around and they tell me they won't do it. I was able to find a NVH app which you will see in the results attached. They still refused to do the test. By government and honda policy they are required to have this equipment. They just refuse to do it because this it is sitting in my driveway accruing non repair time because its not safe or mechanically sound. I still have 13000 miles left on my 5 yr 60000 mile warranty

My 2022 Honda Pilot Black Edition (VIN [XXX], 62,900 miles) has multiple intermittent safety‑critical failures involving the transmission, acceleration, adaptive cruise control, and HVAC blower. These issues occur without warning and without diagnostic trouble codes. Transmission/Acceleration Failure: Most recent incident was XXX on Highway 71 during heavy traffic. The vehicle twice experienced rapid deceleration with no ability to reach a safety stop. RPM dropped below 1000, then spiked to 6,000–8,000 while the vehicle continued to lose speed. Acceleration returned only after several seconds. This also occurs during highway merging and uphill acceleration. Additionally, when disengaging cruise control and immediately pressing the accelerator, the vehicle loses speed, RPM drops abnormally low, then spikes before power returns. Adaptive Cruise Control/Honda Sensing Failure: On XXX the vehicle rapidly decelerated when a semi‑truck was beside me, despite no vehicle ahead. The week prior, while driving several states away, setting cruise at 70 mph caused sudden deceleration and cruise resetting itself to ~54 mph. These events resemble phantom braking and radar mis‑targeting. HVAC Blower Failure: During a long multi‑state trip the week prior, the AC blower (speed 3–4) intermittently stopped blowing for several seconds, then resumed at the same speed with no change to the display. These failures affect powertrain, forward collision avoidance, vehicle speed control, electrical systems, and cabin equipment. The dealership (Roush Honda, Westerville OH) cannot replicate the issues and reports no stored codes. These defects pose significant safety risks.

I was driving home at 4am on I-95 with my children in the car. My car has had a history of "juttering" and making a vibrational noise, but on the way home there was an issue with acceleration when using the gas pedal, and slow to gain speed. There were times when the gas pedal didn't respond to my foot depression at all, and did not accelerate. When I was almost home, many lights came on my dash including: Blind Spot warning, emissions systems problem, transmission problem apply parking brake when parked, stop driving when safe transmission problem see manual. The car is not driveable at this time and sitting in my driveway. I have no idea where to tow it to or what to do or how much it will cost

Upon accelerating from a stop, or at various speeds, the vehicle experiences a significant loss of motive power(pulling backwards) followed by an abrupt lunge forward. This hesitation occurs unpredictably and makes entering traffic or intersections extremely hazardous. This feels like a fuel delivery or transmission engagement failure. The last incident occurred on or around the afternoon of March 23. My vehicle has been examined at the dealership on multiple occasions for this same issue and each time I have been told that they are unable to replicate the issue and can not help me further unless they are able to replicate the issue.

Sunroof exploded while driving at a normal rate of speed with no cars surrounding us. Upon inspection, there was no debris within the roof hold that would denote a rock or something causing incident. We jumped a lane but no cars were around. All occupants were safe.

Vehicle hatch door window seal and door seal allowed water to collect inside the door. When the door was later opened, the water that collected in the door rushed inside the vehicle and began leaking heavily from behind the interior trim panels at the rear of the vehicle near the hatch door opening.

The steering box has failed twice in under 60000 miles 53601-TG7-A02

With about 59,800 miles, a rattling noise under the driver's side of the car began near the end of June, 2026 and gradually became louder, specially on bumpier streets. By the last week of July 2026, the steering started getting erratically stiffer becoming harder to control the direction of the vehicle. A neighborhood mechanic replaced the inner & outer tire rods but this didn't resolve the problem. I brought the vehicle to the dealership, "Honda of Harvey" and was informed that the steering mechanism was failing including the steering RACK and would cost $5,000 to repair. Internet searches revealed that many 2023 Honda Pilots and some 2022 Pilots had been recalled for this same problems. My vehicle wasn't but apparently should have.

Under Honda recall 26V-365 our 2022 Honda Pilot has a rear subframe that was not properly manufactured with the proper paint and corrosion protection. Honda has admitted this. Therefore, Honda is saying the subframe may rust at the mounting points. They are putting braces at these points in case they rust. We do not want Honda simply drilling and riveting brackets onto our rear subframe. This is unacceptable when it comes to our families' safety. We do not want to be driving a vehicle where eventually only brackets are holding our suspension together. What about the rest of the subframe?? This will eventually rust out and become unsafe. Honda admitted they manufactured our subframe with improper paint and corrosion protection. They changed their manufacturing process in August, 2022 (improved pre-paint treatment process) and January, 2023 (coating thickness) was increased. This happened AFTER our car was manufactured. The only responsible remedy for our car is to install a new rear subframe that was manufactured under the new process. Why would you allow Honda to do this to so many families?? People's safety should come before Honda's costs being kept low and allowing them to repair this admitted manufacturing error. We want a new rear subframe installed into the car we paid over $40,000 dollars for as we retired and expected to last a long time. DEMAND Honda replace the rear subframe and not just install a bracket. Look out for the people not the corporations. Help us!!

Case 11655023 Hello, I need your help. I spoke with Honda and was told they would buy back my truck and someone would contact me. Mrs. Briana called and said I had to keep taking the truck to the mechanic as many times as needed. I explained I had already taken it 8–9 times, but she said it didn’t matter and that I should take it to another dealer. I had already gone to the Mission Valley dealership, showed the mechanic photos and videos, and he agreed something was wrong. I left the truck for 3–4 days, but they only changed the start button. I asked about the brakes, which were making noise, and was told it was “normal.” I insisted on getting them fixed, but they said if parts weren’t broken, Honda wouldn’t replace them. I spoke to the manager, who drove the truck with me and said they would adjust the brakes and fix the faulty fuel sensor. I brought it back on Wednesday, received a service receipt, but when I tried to leave, the truck wouldn’t start. I showed the manager a video of the issue, and he said they would fix it. I returned on Wednesday, left the truck again, and on Thursday a worker called saying the truck had no issues. I reminded them the manager had promised repairs, and they said he would call me. On Friday, I was told the truck had “bad luck,” nothing was wrong, and I should pick it up — or go to another Honda if I wasn’t satisfied.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while driving 56 MPH, the sunroof exploded without impact. There were no other vehicles nearby. The sunroof visor was closed. The dealer was contacted, and a voicemail was recorded. The service representative called back and informed the contact that there was no warranty on the vehicle for the repair. The dealer referred the contact to a body shop. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The failure mileage was 57,200.

Every since I purchased my 2022 Honda Pilot, I have had soo many issues with the windshield chipping. I bought the car brand new. Within the first 6 months, I had a chip at the top right corner (passenger side) the ended up cracking all the way to the edge. I had to replace the windshield. Fast forward to within a year of the new windshield being in place, and I know have FOUR chips. All on the passenger side. Two near the bottom and two near the top right. I have asked Honda several times if there are issues with the windshields, and they claim there is not. I have asked about having my frame checked to make sure it wasn't a manufacturing issue, but have not, since they need the windshield off to look. I have been driving for over 20 years. I have NEVER had a chip in my windshield. I even had a 2018 Pilot - 0 issues.

245 /50 R20 : size My dealership told me I needed to change all my tires and provided pics showing pieces of my tires (3 tires) missing. This was present in all 3 of the original tires- same dot and sizes. The 4th tire has already been replaced. My Honda pilot mileage is 29000 miles, purchased new in November 2021. My pilot is garage parked and is not often exposed to the elements for long periods of time.

Cross Contact LX Sport 245/50r20 102H m+s There is chucking in my tires. My car was bought new. It has 17k miles on it.

1.The vehicle’s airbag unexpectedly deployed while the vehicle was in Park and the driver was attempting to reverse out of a parking space. Multiple airbags deployed, including the driver-side airbags, the front airbag near the windshield area, and the long side/curtain airbag extending toward the passenger side. There was no collision or impact that would reasonably explain the deployment. The vehicle and deployed airbag/SRS components are available for inspection upon request. 2.The unexpected deployment of multiple airbags created a serious safety risk. The driver was struck in the head by the deploying airbag, resulting in dizziness, and was also struck in the chest, causing chest pain. A toddler was also present in the vehicle at the time of the unexpected deployment, creating an additional risk of injury to the child. The sudden deployment also created a risk of distraction, impaired visibility, and loss of control while the driver was attempting to maneuver the vehicle. There was no collision or impact preceding the airbag deployment. 3. No. The unexpected airbag deployment has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. The vehicle is available for inspection, including the airbag/SRS components and vehicle systems associated with the deployment. 4.Yes. The vehicle was towed to a dealer following the incident and was inspected by the dealer. The dealer provided an estimate of at least $10,000 to repair the damage associated with the airbag deployment. The vehicle has not, to my knowledge, been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or an independent service center. 5. No. There were no known warning lamps, warning messages, or other symptoms indicating an airbag/SRS problem before the incident. The airbags deployed suddenly and unexpectedly while the vehicle was in Park and the driver was attempting to reverse out of a parking space. There was no collision or impact immediately before the airbags deployed.

The airbag warning light came on the 2022 Pilot Special Edition. The vehicle just hit 50,000 miles and has never been in an accident. The Honda dealership stated the SRS Control Unit had failed and needed to be replaced. I was told it was not safe to drive as the airbags may not deploy in an accident. The vehicle stayed at the dealership until the repair was done. Vehicle taken in on December 26, 2024.

My vehicle started making unusual noise when moving, noise appears like something is wrong with the tires, it sounds like there is a bubble in tire but there is none and this noise is audible inside while driving. We first noticed it when we took a trip to Kansas city few weeks ago and at that time my vehicle odometer was about 31600 miles only, Also to add to that when brakes are applied vehicle is not slowing down consistently, it will be like breaks are applied and release and applied and released. We believe that there is manufacturing defects with the parts as we have not abused our vehicle in any way and if we are right similar issues should surface with others vehicles as well.
