I bought this 2004 Honda Pilot new in 2004 in Louisville. In 2018 I drove to Florida without incident. While here in Florida I have had a problem with oil leaking. Than the compressor for the air went out and I took it straight to the dealer here. They told me it was not worth fixing. Since then I have had 2 mechanics look underneath the car and said it was so rusted that the frame was dangerous and they could not risk fixing it. I have checked with other Honda owners only to find out this is a problem with numerous Honda years and no one fix this problems because of liability . I have photos of the rusted out rear-end and the frame is not attached. You can find owners trying to weld the rear-end back on. No one will repair my compressor because of the rust and...

WENT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID VEHICLE HAS BAD ENGINE MOUNTS, AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. NOTE THAT WE ALSO HAVE A 2003 ACURA MDX, AND THE DEALER ALSO TOLD US THAT SOME ENGINE MOUNTS NEEDS REPLACEMENT. WE CHECKED SOME BLOGS FOR ACURA MDX AND HONDA PILOT OWNERS, AND FOUND A LOT OF OWNERS WITH SAME ISSUES. SOME ARE BEING REPLACED EVERY TWO YEARS. WE OWNED A V6 TOYOTA FOR 15 YEARS, NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. WE HOPE NHTSA WILL CHECK THIS, BECAUSE IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO OWNERS AND ACURA/HONDA WILL NEVER ADMIT. I'M SURE IF NHTSA WILL GET REPAIR RECORDS FOR THIS "ENGINE MOUNT" ISSUES, IT WILL BE A LOT. FROM WHAT I READ, THIS AFFECTS DRIVE SHAFTS DUE TO EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT OF THE ENGINE. *TR

THE PAINT STARTED PEELING ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO (OCT, '09) ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR OF MY 2004 MIDNIGHT BLUE PEARL HONDA PILOT, AT FIRST IN SUCH A SMALL AREA I CONSIDERED ITS CAUSE TO BE THE OCCASIONAL 'FLYING ROCK DING'. THEN IT STATED PEELING ON THE RIGHT REAR FENDER APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO, AND I BEGAN TO TAKE MORE NOTICE. ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO IT STARTED PEELING OFF IN LARGE SHEETS ON MULTIPLE AREAS ON THE CAR (TWO PASSENGER DOORS, REAR FENDER, TAILGATE). I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA, AND ALTHOUGH THE LOCAL AGENT ADMITTED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE MIDNIGHT BLUE PEARL PAINT MIXTURE USED ON THE 2004 ODYSSEYS (AND HENCE, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THAT COLOR PAINT ON THE ODYSSEYS), THERE WAS "NO BULLETIN" ON THE HONDA PILOTS AND THEREFORE, NOTHING WOULD BE DONE. *TR

THE NOISE IN OUR CAR HAS PROGRESSIVE GOTTEN WORSE AND THEN WE STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH OUR LOCKS AND LIGHTS IN OUR CAR. WE FINALLY FOUND OUT THAT THE DOOR SENSOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS NO LONGER BEING "TURN-OFF" AS IT SHOULD BE. THIS IS APPARENTLY BECAUSE THE DOOR IS SLOWING SEPARATING FROM THE CAR. NOT NOTICEABLE FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE WORSE SYMPTOM IS WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURNS THE DOORS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK. THIS SEEMED PRETTY SCARY THINKING THE DOORS MIGHT OPEN. *TR
