I been having a lot of problems with the 2020 honda pilot black edition the brake alert on the dash comes on out of no where without anyone or anything around me. the infotainment, dash and speakers with shotting off n making popping noises. this suv i use it with my family and that can cause a really nasty accident bc all that happens all of sudden and is really scary. i had my suv already twice in the dealer n now is going to be 3rd time. something have to be done. this a 50k+ suv and driving with a vehicle that have does types of issues is a big risk especially with our kids.
The collision mitigation system (brakes) will slam on the brakes with no hazard in the area. the system frequently flashes a message on the display to brake in red and black. at least once the system has actually slammed on the brakes and nearly caused an accident. the salesman said this is a known problem and that i should shut the system off. honda apparently does not contemplate a fix to the system.
A few times when i attempt to stop at a light or stop sign the vechicle would not stop even when i had the brakes on. i have to take my foot off the brake and push down again to get the car to stop, also a few times when i am at a complete stop the engine starts to revvs as if it wants to take off, i took my car to honda and they could not duplicate the problem so they said they couldn't do anything about it.
My vehicle is automatically braking at high speeds for no reason.ive travelers at over 50 mph on highways and it just suddenly slams on the brakes where i've almost been rear ended a few times. it's been in the dealership and they keep claiming nothing is wrong.
Brakes are ridiculously slow. brake response time is very slow even though speed is within 30 miles per hour or less. you literally have to push paddle completely down to the floor and even after that it won't stop immediately. car stops very slow. so considering situation (driving in street and child pops up in front of car) if you have to stop suddenly you not gonna make it unless you use emergency brake of the car. honda must fix the issue otherwise someone will lose life for sure. also, weirdly car moved forward little bit when i just pushed start button to start the car even after brake paddle was pushed down position and touching gas paddle at all. i was bit surprised and thankfully it was in parking lot so didn't hit anyone. i am going honda dealership to check with them if they can check and do something to make brake more responsive and tight. this is just second day of car and this crap happening. i am bit scared, disappointed and frustrated.
The transmission has slipped now twice while driving. once on the highway and again yesterday after turning right onto a busy narrow road. the navigation system and screen display has blacked out and become non-functional while driving at least 6-7 times (no radio, navigation, or anything functions when this occurs). the car has had to be turned off in order reset the screen and function again. it is not possible to turn off the car when driving on a highway or narrow country road. lastly, the car has breaked unnecessarily on several occasions despite adjusting the settings to not be overly sensitive. once it came to a complete stop unnecessarily, thankfully no one was behind me. it has started breaking unnecessarily while driving on a highway and on a country road when no vehicles or anything were around. these situations have been scary and unsettling.
2005 honda pilot with 145k miles suddenly started to apply brakes without warning while driving on straight, flat, dry roads at moderate speeds. if has also occurred at highway speed, but never associated with skidding, sliding, etc. the brakes appear to apply differentially, causing a swerve that needs to be corrected quickly to avoid collision with traffic. the vsa light comes on, and the triangular vsa disconnect light comes on. they both go out after the car is shut off and restarted. the local honda dealer says there is no recall for this, but that they had reprogrammed the car's vsa during an earlier service visit.
