2010 Honda Pilot Other Problems

The bolt that holds the tensioner pulley for your serpentine belt keeps breaking. This is a repeated problem that suggests something is causing excessive stress on this component. The repair will likely involve replacing the bolt and investigating why it's failing prematurely, which may require checking the serpentine belt tension and pulley alignment.

Your sunroof suddenly exploded and shattered while you were driving, with no apparent cause or impact from other vehicles. Glass scattered into the cabin while the car was in motion. The sunroof assembly will likely need to be completely replaced.

THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY START VIBRATING IN THE FRONT DASHBOARD. NOT SURE IF IT IS TRANSMISSION, ENGINE OR SUSPENSION OR ALIGNMENT RELATED. DRIVING OVER 45 MPH THE ENTIRE FRONT DASHBOARD AND STEERING WHEEL WILL BEGIN TO VIBRATE. IT WILL LAST FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND THEN STOP. IT DOES A LOT GOING UPHILL. EVEN ON FLAT LAND IT WILL JUST RANDOMLY START VIOLENTLY VIBRATING. I JUST PURCHASED THIS USED VEHICLE ON APRIL 19 OF 2018. I AM STARTING TO REGRET IT. I HAVE READ MANY REPORTS OF THE HONDA PILOTS VIBRATION ISSUES. I HAVE READ THAT IT IS MAINLY DUE TO THE VCM.

2010 HONDA PILOT, I HAVE HAD IT SINCE BRAND NEW. THIS IS THE 4TH OR 5TH WINTER I HAVE NO BRAKES WHEN THE TEMPS ARE BELOW FREEZING. THE PEDAL IS BASICALLY FROZEN IN PLACE. I HAVE TO CONTINUALLY PRESS ON IT UNTIL IT LOOSENS AS I PRESS DOWN ON THE PEDAL. I HAVE HAD IT TO ALLSTAR HONDA, TOLD THEM PARK IT OUTSIDE LIKE I HAVE TO, HOP IN & DRIVE ON A DAY IN THE TEEN TEMPS. THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM WHICH MEANS THEY DIDNT DRIVE IT OR THEY ARE LYING AS THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THEY WOULD NOT CHANGE MY SPARK PLUGS WITH RECALL BECAUSE NO ERROR CODE SHOWED ALTHOUGH I HAD SLUGGISH ACCELERATION ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD A MECHANIC CHANGE MY PLUGS (AT MY EXPENSE) & NO LONGER HAD TROUBLE WITH ACCELERATION. BUT HONDA WOULDNT DO IT BECAUSE NO ERROR CODE, THE RECALL WAS BASICALLY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY CLAIM THEY CANT FIND TROUBLE IN MY ELECTRICAL FOR THE RADIO AS MY RADIO FREEZES UP INTERMITTENTLY FOR ANYWHERE FROM HOURS TO WEEKS. I AM UNABLE TO CHANGE RADIO STATIONS, TURN ON OR OFF, OR MAKE ANY CHANGES OTHER THAN VOLUME. AS OF SATURDAY, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING NO BRAKES WHILE DRIVING. I WARMED MY CAR, PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL REPEATEDLY UNTIL MY BRAKES WORKED,DROVE ROUGHLY TWO MILES STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS TWICE & THEN WHEN I TRIED TO STEP ON THE BRAKE, THE PEDAL WOULDNT BUDGE, I HAD NO BRAKES. MY PRIOR COMPLAINT TO HONDA WAS REFERRING ME TO THE SAME DEALER THEN NOT RETURNING OF MY CALLS. MY BRAKES ARE WORSENING. I CANT AFFORD A NEW CAR OR I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN RID OF THIS 3-4 WINTERS AGO TO AVOID THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A RISK TO ME, MY CHILDREN AND MY FATHER WHO I DRIVE ALL OVER. THERE ARE SEVERAL SITES ON THE WEB WHERE PEOPLE CHAT ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE MW AND EVEN IN CANADA. THEY HAVE BLED THE SYSTEM AND HAVE NO CURE. I WANT WORKING BRAKES 100% OF THE TIME.

STRONG GAS/EXHAUST SMELL IN CAR CABIN. REPLACED AIR AND CABIN FILTERS. BROUGHT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP IN MORGAN HILL, CA AND THEY SAY NOTHING WAS WRONG, OR THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION DID NOT RETURN ANY ISSUES. THE SMELL WAS ACUTE. HAPPENING ALL OF A SUDDEN AND WE DID NOT NOTICE IT GETTING STRONGER WITH TIME. THE SMELL IS EVIDENT IN THE CABIN WITH THE A/C ON/OFF, HEAT ON/OFF, EVEN WITH THE RECIRCULATION SET TO OFF. HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN TO DEAL WITH THE FUMES.

RECALL. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE RECALL PARTS TO COME IN. THEY ARE TELLING ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL IT IS FIXED. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO NOW?!

CRACK STARTS TO RUN FROM ABOUT 5 INCHES BELOW THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THEN TRAVELS APPROXIMATELY 16 INCHES MOSTLY STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD AND THEN TRAVELS THE ENTIRE WIDTH OF THE WINDSHIELD TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE. CAR WAS NOT BEING DRIVEN AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE CHIPS, IMPACT PITS OR ANY SUCH INDICATIONS THAT WINDSHIELD WAS STUCK BY AN OBJECT, STONE, ROCK, ETC.

THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE 2010 HONDA PILOT IN WHICH THE CONDENSER IN PLACED WITHIN A POSITION THAT IS VULNERABLE TO CONTACT FROM ROCKS, PEBBLES, AND OTHER ROAD DEBRIS DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON PAVED ROADWAYS, AND THAT HONDA FAILED TO DESIGN THE VEHICLE EITHER TO WITHSTAND THIS IMPACT OR WITH A GUARD OR GRILL THAT WOULD PROTECT THE CONDENSER DESPITE THE "CLEAR VULNERABILITY" OF THE CONDENSER TO THIS DEBRIS CONTACT. ON MAY 11, 2012, A PEBBLE FLEW UP FROM THE ROADWAY AND ENTERED THE CONDENSER THEREFORE DESTROYING IT. HONDA HAS ADMITTED THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT WAS SOLVED WITH THEIR 2011 AND 2012 MODELS OF THE HONDA PILOT. *JS
