CarComplaints.com Notes: We all want our SUVs to be able to stop on a dime, just not randomly and without warning. But that's what was happening to 2005 Pilot owners: their vehicles were slamming on the brakes even when they didn't. A government investigation of this problem led to a recall in March of 2013.

Another issue that keeps popping up is transmission fluid mixing with coolant in the radiator which is causing transmission failure, a costly repair to say the least.

My Honda Pilot ac stopped working for the fifth time in 5 years. This year this happened when an infant is on my car during a long trip. We have to stop driving because the baby can not stay in the hot car.

2005 Honda Pilot heater temperature control motor assembly blows hot air out of vents. No matter if you adjust temperature or put on air conditioner the cold air doesn't come threw vents instead hot air is blowing threw. I had car check at shop and they say the temperature mix motor stays in hot position.
