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.

Unable to consistently reproduce the problem. Occasionally the brakes would not work, the pedal would go to the floor and we could barely stop the vehicle. The Dealer was unable to pinpoint problem within the VSA component. Due to severe safety issue (no brakes) we felt we had no choice but to replace this very expensive component. Problem has not reoccurred to date.
