CarComplaints.com Notes: We all want our SUVs to be able to stop on a dime, just not randomly and without warning. But that's what was happening to 2005 Pilot owners: their vehicles were slamming on the brakes even when they didn't. A government investigation of this problem led to a recall in March of 2013.

Another issue that keeps popping up is transmission fluid mixing with coolant in the radiator which is causing transmission failure, a costly repair to say the least.

I have been told that the britax regent was crash tested with the tether. I am have also been told that the tether in most cars only holds 40 lbs. How then can my 80lb child be secured in the britax regent if the tether can only hold 40 lbs.? (related vehicle information: Model year=2005, make=Honda, model=Pilot).
