problem #3

May 132019

Pilot IF 4WD 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 71,000 miles

Well one of the many lights on my dash is the trailer stability asst. I can't get it to go off with all the others! I get it reset because it isn't reading as an actual problem but as soon as the check engine light comes back on, that light comes on as well. I would just like to drive my car without the dash looking all orange with lights! Had this Pilot 7 months and hate it! The payment is too high to have to spend a ton to fix it, but dang who has. Car for 7 months and has to turn around and spend tons of money on it!?! Any way I can just cut all the warning lights out?

trailer stability assist not working trailer stability assist not working

4/29/16. TSA (TRAILER STABILITY ASSIST) PROBLEM, VSA (VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST) PROBLEM, POWER STEERING PROBLEM, HILL START ASSIST PROBLEM, BRAKING PROBLEM error lights come on one after the other. The Cruise Control does not work either. Brought to dealer for fix. They said it was a software problem and reset. Dealer was concerned I was driving with two feet and claimed it was all related to some brake sensor switch. They reset the software and returned vehicle to me.

5/7/16. Problem again reported to dealer. Same errors. Nothing was fixed. Dealer ordered new part.

5/14/16. Dropped off vehicle for repair.

5/17/16: Dealer drove vehicle and experienced same errors. Dealer installed new switch and test drove. Errors were gone.

5/17/16: Picked up vehicle from dealer and experienced same problem after driving 4 miles. Considering writing letter to manufacturer and citing Lemon Law if this is not fixed with next visit.

Update from May 23, 2016: 5/23/2016: The problem had nothing to do with the manufacturer. The tail light got hit and the lens filled to 70% with water. When lights were on or a turn was made, causing the water to hit the wires, a short occurred. Tail light has since been replaced and everything is working well.
