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.

While driving at any speed passenger front shoulder belt would lock up until released. Dealership repaired the problem once, but did not resolve it. The second time this happen, consumer drove to the dealer with passenger locked in front seat shoulder harness. Dealership said they had a problem and replace mechanism. Third time dealership said it was a designed that way-if seat belt is extended all the way out when locking then that will occur.
