| Driving on the city streets about 15 mph around a corner the spare tire fell off from the bottom of the vehicle. upon further investigation the cable that holds the spare tire was frayed. the end of the cable was found on the street along with the spare tire. this event caused no damage to my vehicle or any other vehicle or pedestrians(happened in front of an elementary school after dropping off my kids). if this incident would have happened on the freeway, it might have had a different outcome. | |||

| The catalytic converter was replaced on the vehicle at around 60k. the check emission light was going on and off the past few weeks (starting in july 2012). took the vehicle to the dealer. now at around 90k (august 2012), the replaced catalytic converter needs repairs (approximately $1000 in repairs). why is the vehicle having problems again with the catalytic converter? shouldn't the life of the catalytic converter be more than 30k-60k? | |||

| 2006 honda pilot-severe interior leak in front passenger side floorboard, extending to driver's side floorboard. unknown how long this has been occurring. the carpet is saturated. the carpet pad underneath is also saturated. mildew, mold and body rust will develop. honda issued service bulletin (07-010) for this problem on feb. 8, 2007. dealer disclaims any responsibility for service bulletin work, due to outside of their 3 year window. no accidents/ vehicle damage prior to finding soaked carpet. regular maintenance done per manufacturer's schedule. vehicle still under extended warranty. lack of notice about service bulletin can lead to mold issues, by extension to respiratory issues. honda can prevent this potential problem by notifiying owners, not waiting for them to discover saturated, soaked, and in some instances frozen carpet inside the car. | |||

| My husband had 3 episodes of surging while exiting highways over the past year or so in my 2006 honda pilot. each time he had to put the car in neutral to stop it. after driving at sustained speed on a highway, i slowed to pull off at the exit ramp, which was an incline, and the car suddenly surged forward, the engine made a sound as if it were racing and the car would not stop even with putting my right foot on the pedal and applying all the strength of both feet. i put the car in neutral and it did stop, but the engine continued to roar. the floor mat was not impeding the accelerator and the accelerator was not pushed down, it was in the proper position. the local honda dealer examined the car and found nothing wrong - no codes had been triggered. we had yet another event with my husband driving this time about a month later, and myself and two other witnesses in the car. honda had a regional parts and service manager examine the car after the second event and he found nothing wrong. i told him that i was frightened and very disappointed that they were not doing something more to find and remedy the problem. a honda customer service supervisor then contacted me to review the events and told me he would take the issue to the engineers because it was very unusual that 2 drivers would experience the same problem if it was driver error. he called back and told me that the engineers (who did not look at the car) said it was a problem called bridging, where you accidently put your foot on the gas pedal while braking. he did not address why neither one of us had ever experience bridging the first few years that we owned the car, when we both had driven it extensively at highway speeds. the car has 52k miles on it currently. this is a very dangerous problem and someone needs to deal with it before people are killed. i know that i did not have my foot on the brake and the gas pedal at the same time and neither did my husband. | |||
