CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2006 Honda Pilot is a solid trouble-free model year with no major problems reported, except for a minor trend of window regulator failure. However that's an easy fix of a few hundred dollars -- not a big inconvenience for an older vehicle, all things considered.

I did not receive notice about recall. I contacted dealer and manufacturer in September 2014. I was told that the part was on back order and that I would be contacted when part arrives. I have contacted both dealer and manufacturer several times since then; six months til date no one is able to tell me when the part will be in. I continually am told that "it's on back order!" seems like Honda is not making much of an effort to repair this!

Struck 2 mailboxes and post. Airbag exploded, ripping open on right and left sides. Both hands of driver received multiple small hematomas (broken small blood vessels) and left hand received significant deep cuts. Strong impact of airbag hitting driver left driver displaying symptoms of possible concussion.
My vehicle is listed as having a potential air bag problem. I have been told that because I do not live in a southern state my vehicle does not qualify for a replacement. My residence connected with my VIN number is shown as New Jersey but I live in Florida at least 6 months. As of 10/24/2014 safecar.gov shows 0 number of open recalls. I think all vehicles with a potential safety problem should be included regardless of where the vehicle is operated.
While driving on interstate, suddenly the wheel jerked to the left and my vehicle crashed into the median guard rail then veered back across the road to stop on an embankment. The cause of the wheel jerking to the left is unknown. Fortunately there were no other vehicles involved. When the driver's side curtain airbag deployed, my head became trapped between the driver's side window and the airbag, resulting in closed head injury. I believe the airbag deployed late causing this to occur. I also believe there is something wrong with the steering which caused the vehicle to jerk the way it did. The vehicle has been properly maintained and was in great condition.
