Engine Failure Due To Sludge
2005 Honda Pilot
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
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.

Dealer had the vehicle for approx 1 month as they had no idea how they were going to fix the issue. Engine ended up being rebuilt and I had to pay for a courtesy car for the 4 weeks. Everyone says Honda is so good, I think not. Quality is really slipping here people, the 08 Accord rates worst for customer complaints, this will be my last import, parts prices are far too high.
