Streeing wheel seriously vibrates when breaking over 60 mph. Front bushings need replaced at 76,000 miles and dealer said that there was a leak in the hydrolics controling the timing belt which will lead to possible enging replacement. Dealer quoted $2500 to fix. The information on the bushings and timing belt was discovered while have the air bag replaced. Also, there was another customer that got the same news on his car. After looking at the complaints these are common problems which Honda does not help with and you don't know if the same problem will reoccur if you do fix. It does appear to be a manufacturing/engineering problem that Honda knows well but there is no help for the customer. The dealership seems to be looking for these known problems for more profit potiental. This vehicle has been well serviced and used for mostly long road trips. Honda needs to fess up and help their customers since these type of problems/failures can be very dangerious to the passangers while driving not to mention exorbitant costs.

Compliance bushing tore and leaks causing irregular tire wear and handling issues. Noticed from online forums this seems to be a common problem with these vehicles.

My vehicle is a 2010 Honda Pilot touring. The body of the steering wheel has a hole in the plastic casing on each side--I think to give access to a screw. These holes fall fairly close to where my fingers naturally lie while driving. Today, while driving on the highway, my index finger got entrapped in one of these holes at the first knuckle. This prevented me from steering. I pulled off the highway and managed to extricate my finger. However, this would have been very dangerous if I had been required to make any turns, and it can easily be fixed with a plastic plug. Admittedly, I shouldn't have stuck my finger in the hole--but if I can be that silly, so can other people.
