NHTSA — Service Brakes, Hydraulic: Foundation Components: Master Cylinder Problems

CarComplaints.com Seal Of This Might Hurt

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.

2005 Honda Pilot ex with less than 500 miles on it.. ~90% brake failure on vehicle on two occasions... 06/15/2005 and 06/24/2005. Taking to Honda of concord (concord nc) to be reviewed... may or may not repair depending on if they can "duplicate" the problem but are aware of some cases of the master cylinder going completely out for a "moment". alerting you all in case this happens to others and to have on record.
