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 less than 3000 miles on my new Pilot and the right turn signal doesn't always work. Also, the windshield wipers turn on at random times. I bought a Pilot because I wanted a reliable car without problems like this. I question the safety of this vehicle for my family: can I count on the wipers to work when I need them? I know I can't count on the signals. Am taking it in to dealer next week for repair. Should be covered by warranty but it's still a big disappointment.
