This is the 2nd one I replaced in the last 2 years. Every back door window has had a failure. The glass just dropped down inside the door and never came up again, even I could hear motor noise. I found out from internet that this is a common problem Honda had for Pilot, Accord, Elements and Civic. There even was class actions for this issue. Hope Honda realize the problem and issue a recall ASAP.
this has happened off and on for awhile never knew what was happening. Depends on my 05 honda pilot mood :) the auto window wont work to raise back up ..have to let rest and keep messing w it for it to finally work
We bought this car used and have only had it for less than 5 months. Reason we bough it is because it had a great maintenance history. The rear driver side window suddenly fell inside the door and I couldn't get it back up. I have 2 young kids in the back seat and its the middle of winter and I have to take the freeway home.
Googled to see if there was a way to fix it myself and come to learn this is a very common problem. I'm worried that my other windows will start falling any minute as it has for other Honda pilot owners. Hopefully I can find a dealership that will make this repair as affordable and painless as possible!
Took my 05 Honda Pilot in today for my third window and another big repair bill! One window left to repair, I'm sure that one will fall down soon. The only window that is ever used is the drivers side, it just fell all the way down inside the door. The back seat windows both fell down also, one all the way inside the door and the other one half way down. Now I have no stereo sound out of my driver side speakers, the tech said that the it is common for the windows to drop and cut the speaker wire, so I'm stuck for another known problem! Come on Honda time for a recall!!!!!!!

Here we go again, 2-3 months ago the rear driver side window was down and would not go up. Took it to Honda and had a $300 repair bill to pay. Now, about 3 months later it's the front driver side window, I don't have another $300 to spare. What next, the two windows on the passenger side for another $600. Come on Honda a recall is in order for this cheap part. I have never in all my car ownership years had a window just fall down, yet alone 2 in 3 months. Really makes me fear the future. I have less than 20,000 miles on my 05 Pilot, and I am the original owner. I don't mess with the windows, they are usually always up!
