Representative owner complaints

906 reports, newest first.

  1. Visibility/wiper, Nov 13, 2025

    Rear backup camera is distorted and cannot see clearly while in reverse.

  2. Forward collision avoidance, Lane departure, Nov 11, 2025

    Front camera stopped working all of a sudden and didn't help with lane assistance.

  3. Forward collision avoidance, Lane departure, Nov 5, 2025

    My 2019 Honda Pilot’s (125,000 miles) forward-facing sensing camera (behind the rear-view mirror) failed, disabling Honda Sensing features like Lane Keep Assist, automatic high beam, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Collision Mitigation Braking. The dashboard shows “Honda Sensing Problem”, braking system and “Collision Mitigation System Problem.” Dealer diagnosed a bad sensing camera and quoted around $2,316 plus tax for replacement and calibration, not covered by warranty. Many other owners report the same issue. This is a safety risk since it disables key safety systems. Please investigate and consider a recall.

  4. Electrical system, Nov 5, 2025

    The audio system has loud crackling and popping noise that happens intermittently, causing the audio to stop working. Honda has issued a recall for 2020 models, noting that the noise is caused by loose or damaged connectors in the MOST (Media Oriented System Transport) network, which is part of the infotainment system and also powers the backup camera. The official recall remedy involves replacing the wiring harness to fix this issue, though some owners have reported the problem persists after repeated attempts at correction. The noise is very loud and distracting while driving. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms were noticed.

  5. Forward collision avoidance, Lane departure, Nov 5, 2025

    So my front sensing camera failed after 125,000 miles , Honda sensing features disabled and dealer in Elk Grove, CA zip code 95624 quoted me 2,215 plus tax and that includes diagnostics. It showed 5-6 errors on my dashboard which have disturbed my focus on driving. Advisor said there’s no recall on this issue or warranty at all except if you bought an extended warranty. This is not fair as this is an electronic automated design, this should have a warranty. This will pose danger to customers who owns this vehicle.

  6. Electrical system, Engine, Oct 31, 2025

    The Auto Idle Stop feature on my 2019 Honda Pilot is a critical safety defect. The engine repeatedly fails to restart automatically after the Idle Stop engages at a complete stop, resulting in the vehicle stalling in traffic. This is a major crash risk, not a minor inconvenience. I have experienced this dangerous failure multiple times while waiting to make a left turn in busy intersections. When I release the brake to proceed, the engine remains stalled, leaving my vehicle immobilized directly in the path of oncoming traffic and creating a high risk of a side-impact or rear-end collision. On one occasion, the engine stalled as I was attempting to clear a red light, leaving the Pilot stationary and exposed. I manually disable this feature every time I drive because of the known failure risk, and the stall only occurs when I occasionally forget this essential step. Replacing the battery, as recommended by the dealership, did not resolve the high rate of failure. Honda's existing fixes are inadequate, and this defect puts vehicle occupants and other drivers at serious risk of injury or death.

  7. Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 26, 2025

    Fuel Injectors failed after being replaced less than 50,000 miles ago. This is part of a larger Honda issue noted on Bulletin 21-010. It is causing my car to not accelerate appropriately which is dangerous when on the road. Honda inspected the vehicle and found code P219B. This after finding code P0430 in April 2025 causing me to have to replace catalytic coverters. The emissions system light turned on for each of these issues. Please include my VIN in the safety notice since it is clearly having the same issues as all the other 2019 Honda Pilots.

  8. Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 20, 2025

    The car keeps getting a 219a error code intermittently. The dealer states it is the fuel injectors needing replacement. There is a service bulletin for my model of 2019 Pilot , with a warranty extension to 10 years or 150,000 miles but Honda is saying my VIN is exclusionary and want affected. Except, my fuel injectors are bad with the same code and issues as covered by the warranty extension. It seems quite clear that my vehicle and so many other pilot owners with them from this generation are having the same fuel injector issue but being told their VIN is not effected. One needs only to do a quick search online to see that this is bogus and a more widespread problem than honda is taking responsibility for.

  9. Power train, Oct 18, 2025

    Rear differential unit failed at about 66,000 miles without warning. During normal driving, the dashboard warning light came on indicating AWD warning. It was raining at the time the warning came on. The Pilot onboard computer did disable the AWD and place the vehicle in front wheel drive only mode. The next morning again the AWD warning came on when put into drive and was raining again. Driving again in the afternoon the AWD warning did not come on and there was no rain. I could not see any physical signs of an issue. The Pilot was just in for two recalls: one for backup camera wiring harness on 8/27/2025 and fuel pump on 9/8/2025. About two weeks later on 9/24/2025 was when the first warning came on. The Pilot was taken to the dealer and was reported that the differential pump, sub harness, and differential all needed to be replaced. I informed the dealer that the two recalls were performed and the warning coming on during wet weather. The dealer stated the failure was not caused by the recalls. In order to make to Pilot safe to drive again, I had the dealer replace the parts.

  10. Power train, Forward collision avoidance, Oct 14, 2025

    My car "lurches" when increasing speed sometimes acting like it does not want to go at all. I am constantly on edge that I am going to get rear ended or hit. Especially when my children are with me. Occasionally the brake light will light up and my car will slow down and then accelerate again. Which also makes me worry about getting hit. Both of these things have happened multiple times and we've done our research. It's a major issue

  11. Other or unspecified, Back over prevention, Oct 9, 2025

    The car is prefect everything is great

  12. Other or unspecified, Service brakes, Engine, Oct 7, 2025

    All of the safety features are failing starting about August 2025. Warning lights are lit for collision mitigation, cruise control, high beam, lane departure, braking, EVERYTHING!!! We replaced the battery but that is not the problem. The transmission was always a problem. The braking assist never worked from day 1. The vehicle is completely defective.

  13. Other or unspecified, Engine, Sep 29, 2025

    In 2022, in traffic on I35 in Temple, TX, i was in "Drive" and my car went automatically to Neutral and I could not get it out of neutral or turn my car on and off. My two children were in the car and had cars moved, I would have been clobbered. I finally got my car to turn off after several tries, but it would not turn on. I waited a a minute and tried to turn it on again and after several attempts, it turned back on and traffic began to move so I did not have to stop and brake again. This same issue happened at a stop light a month ago and I could not move my car. I did not hit anything in my car, i did not shift it to neutral, it automatically did this on it's own. I finally turned the car off and after many attempts was able to get it back on, put it in drive, and move the car out of the intersection. The automatic engine shut off also comes on and off in my car without me touching anything. it works sometimes and it doesn't. This issue is a total safety concern and should it happen again, i may not be so lucky with other vehicles. Please help with this recall on my VIN.

  14. Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 25, 2025

    six months ago, I reached out due to an extreme concern regarding my safety and wellbeing regarding a 2019 Honda Pilot that I purchased from Carmax in Newark, DE. I purchased the car on January 10th and on January 29th there were issues with driving the vehicle. The car began to jolt and shake and the check engine light came on. I contacted the warranty company and was told that since it was within 30 days I would have to contact Carmax directly. I contacted the dealership and had the car towed to Carmax. On February 3rd I heard back from the dealership with a diagnostic test result. At that time, I was told by the service representative that the car had a transmission switch that had to be fixed. I was later told that when they fixed the switch it didn’t resolve. On February 5th I was then told it was the fuel injector, and they were going to do an engine flush. The car was not fixed until February 13th.I was given the run around with the service representative and the manager on duty regarding my concern with the vehicle and its safety. I asked if I could change this car for a different car because I do believe that it was unsafe. I was inevitably told since it was a used car that “these things happen” and any work done on the vehicle is covered under warranty for at least one year. I mentioned “Lemon Law,” and the manager mentioned that it only applies to new vehicles. I was also informed that I would have to wait for them to fix the same issue three or four times before we could discuss an exchange of the car. I filed complaints with DOJ, Honda Service, wrote a google review and sent emails to other parties by February 17th. (I WILL ATTACHED THE DETAILED DOCUMENTATION, THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH CHARACTERS AVAILABLE)

  15. Power train, Sep 24, 2025

    My 2019 Honda Pilot was surging when it went up a hill or was at a steady speed on the highway. I was concerned that the car would stall. The dealer confirmed/reproduced the problem and called it a torque converter shudder. Per Honda's instructions they changed the transmission fluid 3 times and did a software update. There were no warning lights. This is a known problem with a very specific fix that is recommended by Honda. It should be a recall and the repair covered by Honda. It costs me over $400.00 to get the repair done at my dealer-Washington PA Honda.

  16. Forward collision avoidance, Sep 24, 2025

    The contact owns a 2019 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50-55 MPH, the brake warning light was flashing. The contact stated that the failure had occurred while driving on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and it was determined that the multi-view cameras were misaligned. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.

  17. Electrical system, Lane departure, Sep 23, 2025

    My 2019 Honda pilot randomly started showing all these errors at once: LKAS, Collision Mitigation Problem, road departure mitigation system problem, auto highbeam problem, adaptive cruise control problem. After speaking with the Honda dealership, they said this is a chronic problem with 2018 to new Honda vehicles. He stated he's unsure why there is not a recall for this yet. They stated that the issue is the front dash camera, which will need replacement. Replacement is around $2,000.

  18. Electrical system, Vehicle speed control, Forward collision avoidance, Sep 22, 2025

    Vehicle adaptive cruise control and emergency braking completely stopped working.

They recommend replacing the transmission. I had it towed to another shop where they tell me all codes that pertain this the initial issues stated and refer back to dealer to reset the tmc system failure and to reset the electrical system. Honda refuses to do work as they want to replace the entire transmission

  20. Electrical system, Seats, Sep 20, 2025

    While operating I was on Highway driving my car the driver seat was set up according to my height, when I use the break to slow down for the heavy traffic during the rush hour wasn't that fast at all I believe my car was at 30 in mph around somehow my car seat dropped too low and I was afraid that I can barley seen in the front. Some how I manage to get home but not sure if there is blown fuses, faulty switches, or loose wiring connectors under the seat or electrical seat problems. This Vehicle is from year 2019 when we purchased. I haven't call the Honda for service yet, cause it's weekend now. I will call on following Monday 22. for Check up.

  21. Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Sep 19, 2025

  22. Forward collision avoidance, Sep 19, 2025

    There was an internal failure of the multi-purpose camera located behind the windshield rear-view mirror. It was inspected by Russ Darrow Honda and the failure code diagnosed. The camera needed to be replaced. Service included a video from the dealer and the defective camera was so hot he could barely hold it while wearing gloves. This caused the Lane-Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Auto High Beam, Collision Mitigation and Road Departure Mitigation Systems to fail, and the dummy lights on the dash to warn of the system failures. There was no accident or injury resulting yet, but none of the advanced safety features were operable. We have since learned that this camera is a common failure in Honda vehicles, and we feel there needs to be a recall. This critical and expensive safety feature should not be failing this frequently, or in vehicles this new.

  23. Other or unspecified, Sep 18, 2025

    “Camera system failure” Backup camera failing to operate when in reverse. Recall not showing for our vehicle even though recall shows its for the 2019+ models. Online talk points to a camera issue and not a wiring one.
