My vsa light came on when I was on the freeway and made my vehicle jerk almost pushing me into the next lane. It has been coming on and turns off when I restart the car and other cars of my same modal and year have recalls for this same issue but my vin yields no results for a recall.
Just bought a 2005 Honda Pilot. I was informed by a mechanic that this vehicle was recalled for a rear support system rusting out and falling down. This vehicle has not been repaired. I need it repaired. Already one strut is loose!!
The complaint that I have is with lower subframe and the mounts have rusted out and is no longer safe to drive or any roads above 35mph. The driver side rear mount isnt attacked to anything bc of rust and the passenger side is rusted but not separated. The truck wobbles when U start going faster then 35mph. This happens when going straight, also while turning either direction and makes it hard to keep control if your not ready for it to happen especially. And there is a knocking noise when the truck goes into reverse that's what caused me to inspect the rear end, it's the metal hitting each other bc there is a small gap where there shouldn't be.
Vehicle stability assist control module is malfunctioning and the brakes are activating by themselves... vehicle stability assist warning light is on and cannot turn the vsa light off... Honda doesn't list this VIN number as under recall that it has the same problem as the vehicles under recall. Unibody rear under frame and suspension mount corrodes and rust do to water collecting under vehicle inside the unibody. There is no weep holes for water to drip out and the suspension mounts corrode and have come off the vehicle.
Our 2005 Honda Pilot has a leak into the front interior on both driver and passenger side of the car. I have searched on line extensively and have seen a lot of complaints regarding leaks on the early models. Pages of complaints. From what I have read, Honda is not taking any responsibility for the issue. I have tried a number of things to fix the problem to no avail. Is there a recall or a fix for this problem? it seems widespread and needs to be addressed.

Was having trouble with the tailgate not registering as closed. Upon inspecting I discovered that the latch on the tailgate was moving freely in the tailgate. It was unsecured. Upon removing the plastic tailgate trim, I spotted three specialized machine bolts. These were trapped by the tail gate trim loose unconnected. I determined that these bolts held the latch in position. I was able to properly secure the tailgate latch to the door and restore proper functionality. I believe that more locks will reveal to be improperly secured from the factory. My vehicle has never been rear ended or had any post factory repairs. The risk of injury due to defective torquing of these machine bolts is real as in the event of a crash the tailgate could come open ejecting people from the rear of the vehicle.
It was a three car accident. My car was in the middle waiting behind another car for a pedestrian crossing the road. Honda Odyssey coming from behind in the other lane, changed the lane and rear-ended my car at ~15 mph. My car hit the front car. Airbags deployed in the car that rear-ended me with substantial engine damage. Driver in my car along with passenger in front passenger seat got a vertical lift with seatbelt constraints holding them in place. My car's airbags did not deploy, which is my primary concern at this point. I have received a safety recall notice from Honda Pilot about drivers front airbag inflator replacement. Is there an issue with the airbags deployment too in the current generation of Honda Pilot? I have this incident noted down with american Honda motor company and they have told me that there is no issue. I want to log in this complaint here, to make sure that we are not ignoring or missing on another recall at the cost of getting humans injured. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Honda Pilot was serviced at ed voyles Honda on 10/22 and picked up on 10/23. Extensive service performed on car...timing belt, transmission, air bags replaced per recall, engine mounts replaced, oil changed, etc. Picked up car on 10/23. On 10/24 backed out of driveway and put car in drive gear. Car accelerated without me putting foot on acceleration. Could not stop vehicle. Acceleration continued and increased. Only way to stop car was to run into a tree. Not sure if caused by recent work or I have read now that 2005 Honda Pilot have had issues with unprovoked acceleration. Usaa insurance company has totaled car and car is at junk yard now.
When approaching 35-40 mph, my 2005 Honda Pilot begins to shutter and I feel a lot of vibration. I have got new tires, rotated, and balanced them thinking this would help the problem to no avail. When I pass 40 mph, the noise/vibration/shuttering stops.
My wife lost control, 2 lane paved road 45 mph (car damage from bumper till rear end) coming to stop in a ditch to her left. No other vehicle/involved, report was filed with insurance, car repaired ( over $10,000 ) I arrived as police officer was interviewing my wife @ our driveway, she was still crying, never had any accidents before, or speeding tickets ( very passive driver, our kids where in the car 3 and 4 years old @ the time) her explanation: The car was going out of the road to my right on its own, I tried to corrected but the steering was not responding, I felt the car going into the ditch, I pulled hard, it responded crossing the lane violently, tried to control it came back to the right hitting the stop ahead sign, swerved again to the left and stopping @ the ditch.150 feet from the intersection, between telge rd. Westbound and grant rd. Cypress tx 77429 previous owners of Honda CRV, we love theirs cars we thought it was just bad luck, things that happen, we moved on. Since then she/complained/brakes will disengaged and engage again. The car will stop but a couple of feet longer that intended. 1st. Time I replace brake pads, 2nd.time I tried to replicate the experience but no luck. 3rd. Time new brake fluid and complete brake inspection. 12/2012 she told me again. I decided to drive the car to work myself every day. 12/29/2012 coming back from work, stop sing, hit the brakes, right before the car stops the pedal sunk completely, noises came from the wheels as if there was and on/off switch being use for braking. The car stops about 10 feet longer then intended. Being concern about a solution I started looking for any info about this online, so it could fix it this is my kids/wife vehicle. I discover all the similar cases online, I wonder if the steering really when out of control on its own, like she swore to my in 2008.
The contact owns a 2005 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that when it rained water penetrated the driver and passenger floor board. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer advised that they were not aware of the failure, and they advised the contact to take the vehicle back to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 72,000.
The part that has failed is the front motor mount on my 2005 Honda Pilot ex-L. the events leading up to the failure is normal everyday driving. Nothing out of the ordinary. This is the first time it has occurred. The vehicle is 3 yrs old and has 55,000 miles on it. The consequences are a 390 dollar bill to have the dealer replace the front motor mount. If it is not replaced the side motor mount will eventually give and cause undue strain on the transmission eventually causing total failure of the transmission. Front motor mount replaced. Old mount is available.
