I am the original owner of a 2023 Honda Pilot with only 17,500 miles. I brought the car to an auto repair facility for its annual New York State inspection. My trusted mechanic discovered that there was a problem with the ârack and Pinionâ steering assembly it and could not pass inspection. This problem also ruined the two front tires. He called a local Honda service center to inquire about the problem and check on outstanding recalls. He was told that this was a known problem, but there has not been a recall yet. I have since searched online and found many references to the steering assembly issue in 2023 Hondas. Recalls have been announced for other Honda models. Since there was no
We purchased a 2022 Honda Pilot Sport brand new. In 2024, it began shaking while slowing down. Hennessy Honda blamed worn tires. We replaced all four by 2025; the shaking briefly improved but returned. Hennessy then diagnosed bad control arms.

He warned that this could cause loss of steering control or a catastrophic accident and told us to stop driving immediately. He considered the failure abnormal for the vehicleâs age/mileage and indicative of a defective component. Au
My 2022 Honda Pilot has experienced a serious safety malfunction involving its Idle Stop system.

Since XXX, the vehicle has required five replacement batteries, three installed by Honda dealerships and two elsewhere. In XXX, Honda sent us a letter titled "PGM-FI Idle Stop Software Update" and "Warranty Extension: Engine Does Not Auto Restart After Entering Auto Idle Stop." The notice referenced Honda Serv
The issue occurred on 9-15-2026. The engine started making a very noticeable knocking sound, (obviously a rod knock). We immediately parked the vehicle until it could be towed to a Honda dealer. The dealership confirmed it was rod knock, and suggested we put a new short block engine in. Thankfully I noticed before the rod was thrown because if it was it could cause a fire, or cause loss of control due to damage to the power breaks, and power steering. The dealership confirmed it was the connecting rod bearings, and they confirmed there were oil shavings in the oil pan. I have saved all of the paperwork. I tried to work with Honda to have the repair covered because they just had a class actio
