Steering Wheel Shimmied When Braking
2005 Honda Pilot
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
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 noticed the problem about a year ago and contacted the Honda Dealer, South Bay Honda. They said to bring it in and they would fix the problem for $250. The problem only occurs when you are going fast, over 70 mph, and you put on the brakes. Since this does not happen often we have not had it repaired. I also believe it should be repaired under the warranty, but the dealer has refused. They even hung up on me when I made the suggestion. Great way to respond!
