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.

The SRS system light came on and I proceeded to take it to the dealership closest to me and have a tech take a look at it. I was told that it wasn't covered by any warranty or recall. I guess Honda has a problem owning up to their shoddy parts and services. This will be my last time buying anything made by their company.

problem #1

Pilot EX 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 127,000 miles

Seat Belt/Warning Light stays on- Sometimes it goes out.

Searched the internet and this is a problem with many,many Honda Pilots.

Service says that the air bag will not deploy with this problem.

There are many sensors for this light warning. Service tells me they can replace a sensor at about $300-$400ea, but the light problem may happen again.

With all the problems with this fault and safety concerns, Honda should recall for this safety issue.
