I noticed a few months ago Honda CRV-??s from the approximate years 2006-2013 were issued a recall because of frame rust caused by salted roads up in the northern USA. My 2007 Pilot is experiencing the same issue and was wondering why there wasn-??t a recall on my vehicle. The Pilot spent most of its lifetime up in the Boston area. Thanks

I experienced a sudden unintended acceleration while coming to a full stop at a traffic light. The vehicle kept accelerating around 5k RPM on it's own without pressing the gas pedal. I was able to stop the vehicle by engaging the emergency brake. I was very close to cause an accident today. My mechanic said there's no engine code and can't find anything wrong.

The driver side door lock does not work, which, by what I read on the internet, is a very common problem.

On April 4, 2018, I idled into narrow driveway and coasted left to park in parking spot. Upon transitioning from gas pedal to brake, the vehicle accelerated forward at full force pulverizing the cement parking block, jumping the curb and landing on top of the hedgerow beyond the curb. The engine was revving and the brake was ineffective in stopping the vehicle. The front tires were in the hedges up off of the ground while the rear of the vehicle remained in the parking space. I turned off the car. After composing myself I reversed the car back down into the parking lot. I was alone in the vehicle at the time. This is the second time this vehicle had an acceleration issue while attempting to transition from the gas pedal to the brake. The first time 3 people were in the vehicle and the incident resulted in an accident whereby we rear-ended another vehicle causing significant damage. Police were called to the scene and an accident report was recorded on June 17, 2017 in springfield twp. NJ.

Extreme shaking in the steering wheel when I reach driving speeds of 68-70 mph. The entire engine appears to be shaking as well. I've heard that this is a common issue with Honda Pilot.

I was driving on the interstate no where near any other vehicles or overpasses when I heard what sounded like a gun shot and debris flying off the hood of my Pilot. I pulled off the road and discovered that my sunroof had exploded. The rubber seal wasn't attached to the rear any more as if it had popped upward.

Ignition switch has failed. Cost of repairing is prohibitive. Service department says the tumblers in the ignition lock wear out. Mechanic says only happens in Honda cars. Seems like Honda should fix the problem. Stranded without ability to turn key suddenly.
