My wife was driving down the street and she was going to get into another lane she checked her mirrors and took a glance over her shoulder. When she looked back she noticed a car had stopped in the lane. She then slammed on her brakes in which at that time she said it felt that like the car was still pulling against her braking. After she hit the person in front of her pushing the adverse vehicle forward. Her car then continued accelerating as she was braking and slammed into the adverse vehicle again. Her car only stopped by putting the car in park.
2010 Honda Pilot suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
During regular maintenance for a 2010 honda pilot with 42501 miles, owner was informed of an unsafe condition resulting from a routine inspection. Dealership informed customer that the front compliance bushings were worn/loose. Dealership informed customer that this unsafe condition could result in excessive tire wear, vibration & possible loss of control of vehicle if not corrected. Vehicle is out of warranty and it will cost $628.00 to replace both front bushings and another $98.98 for an alignment that will be needed after bushings are replaced. Total cost of 726.98. Customer had not noticed any problems, before taking car to the dealership. Customer had noticed while researching honda compliance bushings on the internet an excessive amount of complaints for low mileage vehicles. Hard to believe that a company like honda that preaches quality can have an excessive amount of suspension complaints on low mileage vehicles and have not addressed the problem with a voluntary recall. Saw at least 3 complaints on this site alone, just for the 2010 pilot. Also appears to be a common problem on other models.
Front suspension bushings degrade quickly and vehicle does not keep alignment. Also allows car to shake during high speed braking. Bushings were replaced at 29990 mi, now at 34,500 mi same problem is occurring.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda pilot. The vehicle was being serviced for regular maintenance when the contact was informed that the bushings were defective. The vehicle was repaired by replacing the bushings. The contact had not experienced any issues because of the defect. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 33,500.
I brought the vehicle to honda city, liverpool, ny because of an issue with compliance bushing identified by an independant mechanic. The mechanic and service advisor both agreed that the bushing has signs of previous leak and is visually damaged which can be seen by cracked rubber. They also told me that since the tsb says it has to be a visual leak or popping it doesnt qualify for replacement. Therefore I currently and drive a vehicle with a defective suspension bushing which the manufacturer knows about but because of the wording of the tsb they will not replace. I am not sure how this works or what can be done but I'm trying to figure out if I have to be involved in a accident resulting from the failure of this component before my concern will be taken seriously by the dealer and manufacturer.
Noticed that my pilot was vibrating after taking it in for a routine oil change at speeds from 45-60mph. Took back in and they explained new tires, alignment and balance would fix. After spending 280$ on brakes 218$ on balancing and alignment and 700$ on new tires still have a vibration. Didn't notice it to be as much but there still is a vibration. I plan to take it in again but refuse to spend anymore money for they to try and figure out what's wrong with it. This is only a 2010 with 38,000 miles . After looking online I have seen other complaints that are very similar. I want to go on a family trip this summer but feel I can't take it on a long trip!!! Have seen that it could be a transmission problem so don't want to make matter worse. Honda needs to recall!!!
Our 2010 honda pilot has had to have the front passenger side wheel bearing replaced at only 15746 miles. Had we not taken it to the dealer in a timely manner when we noticed the problem. We may have been involved in a crash. The wheel bearing keeps the wheel turning and had it "burnt up" as we were told, the wheel would have locked up on us. We feel that no vehicle with only 15k miles on it should be replacing a wheel bearing.
