Purchased new 2013 honda pilot approximately 5/15/13. Noticed over next week that brake pedal has excessive travel- requires pedal to be pushed much farther down than should be expected before the brakes begin to engage, resulting in longer stopping time/length. Took in for service at dealership on 5/28/13. Dealership returned on 5/30/13 stating they were unable to find a problem. Vehicle has not been repaired. Called another dealership- service person stated that this is a known complaint for recent honda pilots, caused by brake booster, and is neither adjustable nor fixable. Vehicle odometer currently 600 miles.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda pilot. The contact stated that the brake failed to engage at normal stopping distance and the brake pedal felt soft. When depressed, the brake pedal would travel partially to the floorboard accompanied by an abnormal vibration occurred when driving 65 MPH. The failure would occur when traveling over a flat surface or when the cylinder was in third. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and a diagnostic was performed that was unable to locate a failure code for the vibration or the brake failure. The dealer loosened the engine and the transmission bolts however, the failure was not corrected. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 3 and the current mileage was 2,400.
