Honda Pilot Service Brakes Safety Report | Apr 09, 2012
Reported on Apr 09, 2012
| A FEW WEEKS AGO, I BEING TO NOTICE THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AND WOBBLES UPON APPLYING THE BRAKE AT 60+ MPH ON OUR NEW HONDA PILOT WE PURCHASED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY MENTIONED THE FORWARD ROTORS NEEDED TO BE MACHINED AND WAS NOT COVERED BY FACTOR WARRANTY AND WOULD CAUSE $220 TO DO THE JOB. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND DEALER MANAGER AND THEY BOTH WOULD NOT OFFER TO HONOR THERE 3 YEARS OR 36,000 BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY TO FIX THE ISSUE. I DECIDED TO GOOGLE FOR HONDA PILOT 2011 OWNERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AND SURE ENOUGH I WAS NOT ALONE ON THIS ISSUE, JUST REVIEWING ONLY TWO FORUMS I SAW OVER 50 REPLIES ON SIMILAR ISSUES AS TO MINE FOR NEW HONDA PILOTS. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THERE IS A POSSIBLE DEFECT IN THE MATERIAL USED FOR THE BRAKE PADS OR ROTORS ON THESE PILOTS TO BE EXPERIENCING ROTOR ISSUES WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES TO BE . PLEASE, I WOULD LIKE FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATING AND INQUIRIES INTO THIS MATTER BE TAKEN FOR THE SAKE OF ALL OUR SAFETY. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR | |
