Will engage brakes when nothing is present, when going around a curve, or certain times when the sun shines just right. The other day it did so causing a jarring pain to now be present in my back.

The state investigator indicated that while the 2022 Honda Pilot was being driven by the owner, the accelerator pedal had malfunctioned and the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration. During the incident, the vehicle's speed had increased above 100 MPH. The driver was unable to stop or slow the vehicle when pressing the brake pedal or when activating the emergency brakes. A State Trooper Cruiser vehicle was used to forcefully ram into the side of the vehicle to make the vehicle reduce speed and eventually stop. During the incident, the driver sustained undetermined minor injuries. No further information was available. A police report was taken and the vehicle was towed to the local dealer. No further information was available. The manufacturer was not contacted by the investigator. The failure mileage was unknown.

My name is [XXX], I am the owner of a 2022 Honda Pilot, and the safety of this vehicle is now of great concern to me. My vehicle has done up to 35,000 mileages. On Friday, [XXX] as I was driving on the highway, this vehicle suddenly stopped without warning. All the lights on the dashboard came up and I received 5 messages indicating that the following had problems: Emission System, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), Electric Power Steering, Transmission System, and Adaptive Cruise Control. This is a very dangerous and life-threatening hard stop that occurred in the middle of the highway, and I had to tow the vehicle to the DACARS Honda Dealership in Bowie, Maryland. I must state that my service history is up to date as of the time of this incident. The dealership carried out a diagnosis and confirmed all the problems from the messages that I received and agreed to fix them because the vehicle is still under Manufacturer's Warranty. I am really concerned about the safety of this vehicle and the lives of other owners and road users who may not be as lucky as I was on [XXX]. I recommend a very detailed safety evaluation on this Model of Honda and if possible, immediately instruct the replacement of all the safety problems/parts listed above pending the outcome of this investigation/evaluation, and ultimately instruct a recall of this model of Honda. Thank you. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My front struts were making noise brought car to dealer and dealer determined they were bad and had manufacture replace under warranty. Today, I brought my car into the dealer for maintenance, and I'm being told I have to replace brakes, but looking at them, they are wearing unevenly, which I believe should not

The car accelerated brakes did not work or did not function. The. -??Brakes -??word (brown color ) flashed 2 x. I was going to work I parked on the upper level of the parking structure. AS I was doing rear parking I adjusted the car forward to align with the parking slot. As I moved the car forward it jolted and accelerated. The brakes was not working. The word -??brake-??. Flashed. 2 times. The car fell to the lower floor. I was fortunate as it was a Sunday no car nor pedestrian was in the lower level but the car beside where I fell suffered damages. I was brought to the emergency department. Paramedics and police were called. My ct of head neck abdomen and pelvis were negative. Ct of chest showed band like contusion comparable with seatbelt injury. I suffered from bruises to my left leg. Right breast lower abdomen. Left clavicle area. History wise: my Honda pilot lost all power on [XXX]. I had it towed to the Honda service center in Cerritos. I was told it was battery issue. Battery was changed A, month after I crashed. I informed my insurance. I called Honda. They gave me a case number. But said it-??s the insurance who will investigate. Per insurance Honda should do the investigation. Up to this day I have no update from Honda. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My vehicle started making unusual noise when moving, noise appears like something is wrong with the tires, it sounds like there is a bubble in tire but there is none and this noise is audible inside while driving. We first noticed it when we took a trip to Kansas city few weeks ago and at that time my vehicle odometer was about 31600 miles only, Also to add to that when brakes are applied vehicle is not slowing down consistently, it will be like breaks are applied and release and applied and released. We believe that there is manufacturing defects with the parts as we have not abused our vehicle in any way and if we are right similar issues should surface with others vehicles as well.

The brake pedal is unusually soft/spongey. Brakes does not engage until pedal travels further impairing vehicle's ability to make a prompt emergent stop and increasing the risk of a crash or injury. The dealer could not verify or confirm the problem on two occasions. However, the dealer never inspected the brake master cylinder connection to the brake booster assembly; the vehicle was not determined a subject of the NHTSA Safety Recall 23E-040 or/and NHTSA Safety Recall 23V-458. The problem first appeared on 02/03/2023 and was reported to the dealer on 02/04/2023 before the issuance of these two safety recalls mentioned above. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure other than the aforementioned unusual brake pedal softness. The subject vehicle is available for inspection.

SUV(Honda Pilot 2022) continues to brake. and lose power after brake pedal has been released causing unsafe and un controlled stopping. ( No warning lights or errors ) We have almost been rear ended do to this. Taken back to dealer to repair after only 200 miles on SUV. Dealer replaced antilock brake module. After repairs SUV seemed to brake normally for about one week then started doing the same thing again but way worse, to the point we didnt think we could make it home. The sticking brakes, loss of power to the SUV got so bad that it was unsafe to operate and was towed to the dealer awaiting another repair...in shop now two times with less then 500 miles for same exact safety issue. This braking issue could possibly cause serious accidents if not remedied soon. Hearing stories other 2022 Hondas are dealing with this issue as well....hoping no one gets seriously hurt if issue is left unaddressed
