2007 Honda Pilot Engine

I was driving the car on a one way street. When the A/T Temp came on, the car slowed down and then eventually stopped. I was 1min from my destination. I got it towed home, til I can get it to the shop. I just brought the car. The mechanic said the transmission has a lot of metal piece inside of it.

AFTER REPAIR SHOP DONE $2,600.00 IN WORK, VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION ON I-40 EAST, MISFIRED AND BLOW THE HEAD GASKET, HEAD, AND MOTOR ACCORDING TO HONDA SHOP. REPAIRS ESTIMATE ARE KNOW AT $6,000.00. THE REPAIR SHOP HAD SAID NOTHING ABOUT MILEAGE IN REPAIRING THE VEHICLE THE FIRST AND NOW STATES SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

TIMING BELT/TENSIONER RESULTING IN LOUD NOISES. ALREADY REPLACED ONCE AT 100K NOW RECURRING AT 148K.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BECAME LOOSE DUE TO A LEAK ON THE TENSIONER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING BELT TENSIONER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

ENGINE SIDE MOTOR MOUNT FAILED, LEAKING OIL ON VEHICLE FRAME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE MADE A HEAVY BASS SOUNDING NOISE. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STALL OR EXPERIENCE HESITATION AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE AUTOMATIC NOISE CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FIVE TIMES FOR THE SIMILAR FAILURE. THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS RESET. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY BEING DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALER FOR THE SPORADIC FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 485.

THE CAR STALLS WHEN IT IS IN MOTION. EACH TIME THE CAR STALLS, I BRING IT TO THE DEALER. THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED THE CAR WAS 5 DAYS OLD. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. 2ND TIME I HAD GONE THROUGH THE EZPASS LANE AND THE CAR STALLED. THE 3RD TIME I WAS DRIVING AN EXPRESS ROUTE. THE 4TH TIME I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. THE 5TH TIME I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE 5TH TIME IS THE ONLY TIME THE CAR WASN'T IN MOTION. EACH TIME I BRING IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP--WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW, CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP'S MECHANICS CANNOT DUPLICATE OR FIND A PROBLEM THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX. TWICE THEY'VE REPLACED SENSORS. *TR

I WAS ABOUT 1 MILE FROM MY HOME WHEN MY 2007 HONDA PILOT STARTED TO CHOKE, ALL MY WARNING SIGNAL LIT UP ON MY DASHBOARD AND MY CAR DIED. NO SMOKE WAS COMING FROM MY HOOD. HAD IT TOWED TO BRAMAN HONDA WHERE THEY SAID I HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. THERE WAS COOLANT MIXED IN MY OIL, OIL IN MY COOLANT AND MY RADIATOR WAS CRACKED AND BOTH HOSES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR PRIOR TO THIS GAVE ME NO WARNING OF IT OVERHEATING WHAT SO EVER. THEY SAID MY CAR WENT TO 285 DEGREES, BUT I WAS NEVER GIVEN ANY WARNINGS. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY CAR OR THIS PROBLEM, NUT THE NIGHT BEFORE WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, MY CAR SMELLED SO BAD LIKE GAS, THAT I HAD TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW . I WAS THINKING IT CAME FROM OUTSIDE, ANOTHER CAR. WHEN I TURNED MY CAR OFF AFTER I GOT HOME, THE ENGINE FAN WAS SO LOUD, I THOUGHT I LEFT MY CAR RUNNING! WHEN I GOT HOME THE NEXT DAY FROM HAVING MY CAR TOWED, I NOTICED THE SAME GREENISH BROWN FLUID THAT WAS ALL OVER MY ENGINE ON MY DRIVEWAY. IT MUST HAVE BLOWN WHEN I GOT HOME OR WAS ABOUT TO. *TR

AFTER SMELLING A STRONG ODOR OF ANTIFREEZE, I DECIDED TO BRING MY 2007 HONDA PILOT IN TO CHECK THE RADIATOR. ALTHOUGH, THE GAUGES DID NOT INDICATE OVERHEATING AND I DID NOT OBSERVE ANTIFREEZE COOLANT LEAKING, THE ODOR WAS BECOMING EXTREMELY STRONG. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET INTO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SO I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A BIG O TIRE STORE TO INSPECT THE COOLANT SYSTEM. IT WAS FIRST DIAGNOSED AS A CORE ENGINE HEATER PROBLEM. HOWEVER, AFTER DISASSEMBLING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A HOSE LEADING TO THE REAR AC/HEATING SYSTEM WAS LEAKING. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, THE FACTORY PLACED THE CLAMP OVER THE HOSE AND NOT OVER THE NOZZLE. THIS DIRECTLY LED TO THE PUNCTURE OF THE HOSE AND SUBSEQUENT LEAKAGE OF ANTIFREEZE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FLOORING OF MY VEHICLE. A REQUEST TO AMERICAN HONDA TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR WAS DISMISSED SINCE I DID NOT BRING MY VEHICLE INTO A HONDA DEALER. MY COMPLIANT IS TO SEEK RECOVERY OF $450 FOR THE SERVICE REPAIRS AND ADDITIONAL EXPENSE TO REPLACE THE ANTIFREEZE SOAKED CARPET AS WELL AS CLEAN ALL REMAINING RESIDUE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN JANUARY 2006. THE WARRANTY WAS FOR 3 YEARS/36,000 MILES. CURRENTLY, I HAVE 53,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE REPAIR WAS DUE TO FAULTY ASSEMBLY AT THE FACTORY, I AM SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS REPAIR. THANKS *TR

2007 HONDA PILOT ONLY 14 MONTHS OLD, A/C QUIT WORKING. DIAGNOSED BY DEALERSHIP AS A BROKEN COMPRESSOR DUE TO "ROAD DEBRIS". PART WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $600 TO VEHICLE OWNER, NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE LARGE OPENINGS OF THE GRILL ROAD DEBRIS CAN EASILY DAMAGE THIS COMPONENT ANYTIME. HONDA OFFERED NO OPTIONS OR SOLUTIONS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA PILOT. WHILE CHANGING THE OIL, THE CONTACT NOTICED ENGINE OIL LEAKING THROUGH THE ENGINE BLOCK CASTING. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THEY INFORMED HIM THAT THE OIL PAN PLUG WAS LEAKING. THE SECOND TIME THEY STATED THAT OIL WAS SEEPING THROUGH THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 5,000.

2007 HONDA PILOT WITH 2,200 MILES. PULLING OFF THE HIGHWAY ON AN EXIT, WE SAW WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. NOT KNOWING THE CAUSE, WE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (NO BREAKDOWN LANE, SO WE WERE MOSTLY OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANE). WE WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE SMOKE, SO WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE CAUSE WAS DETERMINED TO BE A BREAK IN THE CONDENSER COOLING COIL DUE TO A ROAD OBJECT HITTING THE UNPROTECTED COIL. SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET SHOWED DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS FOR HONDA VEHICLES (BUT VERY FEW FOR OTHER MANUFACTURERS). HONDA SAID THAT THIS WASN'T COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, BUT AFTER COMPLAINING TO HONDA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY PAID FOR THE PART. I ALSO COMPLAINED TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER, WHO PAID FOR THE LABOR. I PAID FOR THE TOWING. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT SEEING THE WHITE SMOKE WITHOUT KNOWING THE CAUSE CAN MAKE THE DRIVER BE STOPPED IN AN UNSAFE LOCATION TO DO PROBLEM DETERMINATION, LEADING TO VARIOUS POSSIBLE INJURIES OR DEATH. *TR
