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 Owner Comments

Both rear tires were discovered to be entirely slick on the inner 3". Honda said alignment was at fault which I paid for even though in warranty. Problem still persists with new tires, mechanic agrees that visually both rear wheels tilt in. Even though in specs, he attempted to adjust the upper rear control arms. He came back and said they are not adjustable & that I would have to buy after market ones for $226 ea X 2. I have contacted Honda & I cannot get past voicemail with the regional rep. So much for quality!
