2012 Honda Pilot

REAR BRAKE PADS RUSTED SOLIDLY TO CALIPERS. INOPERATIVE. FRONT BRAKES PADS RUSTED BUT STILL OPERATING. ONLY 23,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE ALERTED ME TO A PROBLEM AS I BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE. TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC WHO TEST DROVE CAR AND KNEW WHAT PROBLEM WAS. HE TOOK OFF ALL 4 WHEELS ,PRIED PADS LOOSE FROM CALIPERS, SANDED OFF RUST, LUBED AND REINSTALLED PARTS. HE INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED NEW CALIPERS, PADS AND HARDWARE. I CALLED DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT BEING OUT OF WARRANTY, THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR ME. I THEN CALLED HONDA MOTOR CO. I WAS TOLD THAT VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR ME.TO ME,THIS SEEMED A SAFETY ISSUE MORE THAN A WARRANTY ISSUE.

ON MAY 17, 2016, IN MY DRIVEWAY, I WAS TRYING TO MOVE MY 2012 PILOT FROM BESIDE MY HUSBAND'S VEHICLE TO BEHIND IT SO MY SON COULD PULL INTO THE DRIVEWAY. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE BEHIND MY HUSBAND'S TRUCK AND IT MOVED UP A LITTLE BEFORE IT ACCELERATED TO A HIGH SPEED SLAMMING HIS TRUCK INTO THE GARAGE AND CRUSHING IT. I HIT THE BRAKES, BUT IT DIDN'T HELP. THE ENGINE WAS REVVING AND TIRES WERE SPINNING AS FAST AS THEY COULD. THE AIRBAG HIT ME IN THE FACE CAUSING ME TO JERK THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT, WHICH THEN CAUSED THE PILOT TO DRIVE ACROSS MY FRONT YARD AT A HIGH SPEED CRASHING INTO MY NEIGHBOR'S TREE WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE! THE ENGINE ONLY STOPPED WHEN MY HUSBAND RAN OUT OF MY HOUSE AND TURNED OFF THE PILOT. AT THAT POINT, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE I HAD BEEN HIT SO HARD IN THE FACE BY THE AIRBAG. THE PILOT WAS INSPECTED TODAY BY HONDA CORPORATE AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP AGAINST MY BETTER JUDGMENT. OF COURSE AFTER A THOROUGH INSPECTION, "NO CAUSE WAS FOUND FOR UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION." THERE SEEMS TO BE A PATTERN OF THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE AND HONDA NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT!

I AM SO TIRED OF MY FRONT BRAKES SHAKING. I HAVE HAD THE ROTATORS TURNED,OR ROTATED TWICE AND IT KEEPS ON HAPPENING. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW.THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES AND IT IS THE MOST FRUSTRATING AND ANNOYING THING TO DEAL WITH. 98% OF THE TIME WHEN I GO TO BRAKE, MY CAR SHAKES, SHIMMERS, AND JUST SEEMS TO BE UNSAFE. JUST BRAKING AT STOP LIGHTS CAN CHANGE MY MOOD. THIS IS MY SECOND HONDA PILOT AND MY FIRST 2008 PILOT DID NOT DO THIS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA PILOT.

VEHICLE DEVELOPED A VIBRATION AROUND 45000 MILES IN REAR AND THOUGHT TIRES NEEDED REBALANCING. THAT DIDN'T HELP AND AFTER VIBRATING ON A 1600 MILE TRIP HAD DEALER REPLACE TIRES WITH ORIGINAL BRAND AND SIZE AFTER DISCUSSING PROBLEM WITH THEM. $1000 LATER I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DEALER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT VIBRATION. THEY REBALANCED TIRES ON HI TECH BALANCER. 275 MILES ON NEW TIRES AND STILL VIBRATION IS THERE. WENT BACK TODAY BECAUSE OF VIBRATION AND THEY DID SOFTWARE UPDATE AND REPLACED RIGHT REAR TIRE. SERVICE MANAGER AND THEN GENERAL BOTH RODE WITH ME I VEHICLE AND THEY AGREED THE VIBRATION IS STILL APPARENT. THEY THINK IT'S INHERENT WITH THE HONDA PILOT. IT OBVIOUSLY IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS NORMAL. WHO WHAT'S TO DRIVE A CAR VIBRATING ALL THE TIME.

TWO OCCURRENCES OF CAR LUNGING FORWARD 10-20 FEET ACTING LIKE BEING REAR-ENDED. FOOT WAS FIRMLY PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CAR LUNGES MANY FEET, THIS OCCURRED TWO TIMES IN ONE DAY. TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, I WAS UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY STOP AT AN INTERSECTION AS THE ENGINE WOULD NOT REV DOWN AND BRAKING WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCOMPLISH. HONDA CARS OF MCKINNEY TX IS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. HONDA HEADQUARTERS SENT OUT A SPECIALIZED TECHNICIAN WHO ALSO CAN'T REPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE.

WARPED ROTORS DUE TO ISSUES WITH FRONT SUSPENSION REAR LOWER ARM BUSHINGS THAT ARE CURRENTLY LEAKING AND CRACHED. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT DID COMPLAIN OF VIBRATING, YET NOTHING WAS SAID OR DONE. HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER MECHANIC TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. HONDA NEEDS TO COVER THIS ISSUE AS I CAN SEE FROM THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. THESE ARE FAULTY PARTS ON A VEHICLE THAT COSTS OVER $30,000.00. THIS IS MY SECOND HONDA PILOT AND I DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE LAST PILOT. CAR VIOLENTLY SHAKES WHEN BRAKING. IT HOWEVER THE WHOLE FRONT END VIBRATES WHEN DRIVING. NOW MY WINDOW RATTLES AND I BELIEVE IT IS LOOSE BECAUSE I CAN HEAR THE AIR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TELEPHONE POLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE LOWER BACK, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.
