I also observed substantially similar behavior on a 2026 Honda CR-V loaner vehicle and another Honda Pilot provided by Koons Honda. The issue involves the front driver and passenger windows and their interaction with the outer window seals/belt moldings. During rainy, snowy, foggy, or wet conditions, lowering and then raising the windows leaves significant moisture, streaking, fog residue, or debris on the glass surface. Current image shows fog residue, however, the same results occurred with snow where visibility was impaired after cycling the front driver and passenger windows.  The outer window seals do not adequately clear the windows during normal operation. This results in impaired visibility around and through the side view mirrors, especially during lane changes, merging, and monitoring adjacent lanes. The condition is repeatable and occurs during ordinary use. I documented video evidence showing: \u2022the issue on my 2025 Honda Pilot, \u2022another Honda Pilot, \u2022and the same/similar issue on a separate 2026 Honda CR-V loaner vehicle from Koons Honda. I presented the evidence to dealership personnel. However, the service manager refused to document that side mirror visibility was impaired, reportedly because such wording would imply a safety condition. This concern may involve: \u2022ineffective window seal/belt molding performance, \u2022excessive water retention on side windows, \u2022impaired driver visibility, \u2022and a potential safety defect affecting multiple Honda vehicles. The issue can create unsafe driving conditions because drivers may be unable to clearly observe adjacent traffic through side mirrors after operating the windows in wet conditions.  Furthermore, similar reports are found online with different newer models.  The date below reflects today's interaction with the dealership, however, this is an ongoing issue since we received the vehicle last year.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2025","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"PILOT","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]},{"odiNumber":11738417,"manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/16/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"05/17/2026","vin":"5FNYG1H98SB","components":"UNKNOWN OR OTHER","summary":"Sunroof  exploded while driving down the road.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2025","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"PILOT","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]},{"odiNumber":11738161,"manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/15/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"05/15/2026","vin":"5FNYG1H84SB","components":"FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE","summary":"The collision mitigation breaking system has wrongly engaged the breaking system on two occasions since I have purchased the car in September 2025.

In order of danger; (1) Collision Mitigation Braking System, (2) Auto Idle Stop, and (3) Road Departure Mitigation System. All three of these systems have nearly caused wrecks for me several times. The Collision Mitigation Braking System (1) is especially dangerous for rear-end collisions to the vehicle using CMBS. Example, I was driving in heavy traffic in the middle lane on I-40 near Hermitage, Tennessee on 23 Apr 2026 with adequate distance between me and the car in front of me. A tractor-trailer was close behind me. Suddenly, a car in the lane to my right moved into the gap in my lane between me and the car that was at a safe distance in front of me. The CMBS activated and started braking the car. I pressed the gas pedal hard to try and maintain my 70 MPH speed to no avail. The tractor-trailer swerved into the lane to my left missing the rear of my car by inches, and avoiding a massive chain reaction collision of many cars. This was a near fatal event for me. Without CMBS, I would have simply held my speed steady until I could create a safe distance and ease into a safer position, possibly in the lane to my right, a much less eventful situation. The Auto Idle Stop (2) has a knack for shutting off the engine when I am trying to make a left turn in heavy traffic. After several near misses, I have learned to turn this system off when starting the engine (the default is on). The Road Departure Mitigation System (3) shakes the steering wheel if the system thinks you are moving out of your lane. It shakes the steering wheel to alert you. Twice, I was caught by surprise and overcorrected the steering when the Road Departure Mitigation System started shaking the steering wheel. So instead of staying in my lane, this almost caused me to go out of my lane and possibly collide with another car or a road barrier.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2025","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"PILOT","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]},{"odiNumber":11737702,"manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)","crash":true,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":1,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"04/02/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"05/13/2026","vin":"5FNYG2H42SB","components":"SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE","summary":"This car on April 2nd, 2026 did not stop.

Vehicle hesitates, fails to accelerate when needed, and creates dangerous crossing and merging conditions. Detailed Description: I own a 2025 Honda Pilot that is currently subject to multiple safety recalls, including the brake pedal pivot pin recall and the third-row seat belt routing defect. In addition to these known defects, the vehicle has a severe and unpredictable acceleration failure that creates a significant safety hazard. On December 10, 2025, I attempted to turn left onto a main road from a complete stop. When I pressed the accelerator, the vehicle failed to accelerate quickly enough to clear oncoming traffic. The throttle response was delayed, sluggish, and unresponsive for several seconds. An oncoming driver had to brake hard to avoid hitting my vehicle. This was a near-collision and placed me and others in immediate danger. This hesitation and lack of power has occurred multiple times when: Turning left across traffic Merging onto highways Changing lanes at speed Attempting to accelerate from a stop The vehicle does not respond appropriately or consistently when pressing the accelerator. This is especially dangerous in situations requiring timely throttle response to avoid collisions. Combined with the existing factory safety recalls, this creates a serious and ongoing safety risk.

Dealer claimed \u201cimpact damage\u201d and refused warranty.  2nd crack \u2013 August 2025: After paying for an OEM replacement and Honda Sensing calibration, the new windshield cracked on the drive home from a very small road debris impact. The star-shaped crack spread rapidly to the edge. Glass shop staff informally said the first crack looked like a stress crack. They replaced the glass again with OEM and calibrated, offering their labor for free. Dealer declined to pay even for only glass itself and told us to talk to Honda USA.  We contacted Honda USA by phone, received a case number, and were told to \u201cdeal with the dealer.\u201d The dealer then told us to contact Honda USA again. Neither party investigated, and both said the windshield is \u201cnot covered.\u201d  3rd crack \u2013 November 2025: A tiny debris impact again caused a crack in the same exact corner. The impact chip was extremely small, but the crack still spread more than normal.   All photos attached with repair invoices. We paid out of pocket as our insurance does not cover OEM glass.  The repeated cracking in the identical corner, including one with no impact, suggests a possible structural stress point, mounting issue, or overly thin/brittle OEM glass.

Additionally a warning saying \"low speed braking control problem. Parking sensor obstructive\"  came on intermittently.  Upon returning home I noticed that two sensors had become dislodged and fallen into the bumper. They appear to only have been held on by double sided tape. There are no obvious signs of impact, I have not had any collision, and the vehicle was purchased new.  The failure appears to be one of the following 3 potential issues: 1) It could possibly be a very poor design choice, by Honda, to tape the parking sensors onto the vehicle.  I don't understand why the mounting was not engineered to be injection molded as part of the lower garnish.  That would easily reduce the vehicle parts count. 2) It may also be a poor decision in materials by the manufacturer.  Honda may have specified an inferior adhesive that is incapable of sustaining the forces involved, or not capable of withstanding the exterior climate. 3) Least likely, but still possible, is the possibility that Honda's trusted retail partner, Conicelli Honda 19428, sold me a car with pre-existing damage that was not disclosed.  A malfunctioning safety systems is dangerous to both the driver, other vehicles, and human life. Not only are the excessive malfunctioning notification a distraction to the driver, if a child was to run out in front of the vehicle, the vehicle would not recognize them and they could be hurt.

The creaking is especially noticeable when making slow turns in parking lots or driveways. It appears to worsen in warmer temperatures and is consistent regardless of road condition. I brought the issue to the dealership's attention, and they kept the vehicle for approximately three weeks. They replaced the clock spring and airbag, claiming the noise was resolved. However, the creaking noise returned shortly after I resumed driving the vehicle.  Brake Popping: There is also a popping/clicking noise coming from the front left brake area, especially when braking or shifting between drive and reverse. The dealership lubricated the brake hardware but did not resolve the issue.  Despite Honda service attempts, the noises persist. Numerous other 2023\u20132025 Honda Pilot owners have reported similar symptoms online, many citing steering rack/pinion defects or unresolved brake component issues. These defects appear widespread and unresolved by standard dealership repairs.  Safety Concern:  While the issues may currently present as mechanical noises, I am deeply concerned that they may signal underlying defects in critical safety systems\u2014such as steering control and braking performance. Unaddressed, these could potentially lead to steering failure, brake failure, or loss of control, especially during low-speed maneuvers where driver response time may be compromised due to mechanical unpredictability.

The vehicle\u2019s Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system frequently and unexpectedly turns off while driving on the highway, creating a serious road safety hazard. This issue has been happening intermittently since I bought the vehicle, and despite bringing it to Honda\u2019s attention, they have not acknowledged or addressed the problem.  The sudden deactivation of the ACC system can cause unexpected speed changes, forcing the driver to react quickly and potentially leading to hazardous driving conditions. Given the increasing reliance on driver-assist technologies, such malfunctions pose a risk to both the driver and other motorists on the road.  I have reported this issue to my local Honda dealership, but they have not provided a permanent resolution. I am concerned that other Honda Pilot owners may be experiencing the same problem, which could indicate a widespread defect. Therefore, I urge the NHTSA to investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action, including issuing a recall if necessary, to prevent potential accidents.  Please confirm receipt of this complaint and inform me of any next steps. I am available to provide further details or documentation as needed.

This tape was shredded and peeling away from the plastic pipe cover, likely due to heat or other factors.  I was surprised and concerned to find such a low-quality material used in this location.  The tape's deterioration raises concerns about potential damage to the wiring itself due to heat exposure.  I am also worried about the long-term reliability and safety implications, including the possibility of a fire.  I drove approximately 40 miles round trip to the Honda dealership where I purchased the vehicle.  They dismissed my concerns, stating that this was \"normal\" and simply advised me to purchase more electrical tape from a home improvement store and re-wrap the harness myself.  They refused to perform any repair or replacement.  I question why Honda would not use heat-resistant tape in this engine compartment area, especially given the potential for high temperatures.  Using a more robust, heat-resistant material would provide greater safety and prevent the current issue.

The only thing I can think is that it was due to a bicycle that was traveling the same direction at a slower speed than I was driving but I had plenty of room to go around and was not even close to hitting them.  The brakes were activated which was not only scary but dangerous.  Had a car been behind me there is a strong chance I would have been rear-ended because nobody in their right mind would expect me to hit my brakes in this situation. This prompted me to look at the manual where I saw Honda has a list of reasons the emergency braking could activate despite \"little chance of collision\".  The list is extensive with many reasons the system could activate incorrectly causing an accident, not preventing one. The unexpected braking itself is terrifying but how difficult Honda makes it to \"opt out\" of the system that obviously has many flaws is even more concerning.   I tried to turn off this system only to find out that it is a multi step process that can only be done when stopped so if you forget to turn it off you are stuck using it even if you don't trust the system.  Every other safety setting can be turned off while driving except this one.  Why make it so difficult for the driver to choose to have complete control of their car, especially when their system is admittedly flawed.  In addition, the emergency braking system is the only safety feature that resets every time you shut off the car.  So every single time you start the engine you have to go through multiple steps to choose to have control of your own vehicle.  It seems the system that is the most flawed is the only one Honda is trying to force drivers to use.  This is not safe for my family or those driving around me. I called Honda and they told me there is nothing that can be done to disable it and have the setting hold even after turning off the car like all the other safety setting.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2025","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"PILOT","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]},{"odiNumber":11618247,"manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"09/08/2024","dateComplaintFiled":"10/05/2024","vin":"5FNYG2H41SB","components":"STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES","summary":"New 2025 Pilot with about 3,000 miles, driving in Montana on a level dusty gravel road at about 5,000 feet altitude.  Driving into the morning sun for about 20 minutes at a slow speed of about  30 mph all of a sudden multiple warnings flashed, engine, brakes, etc.  Steering was stiff and brakes did not feel active, very stiff.  I just coasted to a stop on a desolate gravel road, no other traffic.  The engine was still running, did not press on the gas for in large red letters the warning panel said \"DO NOT DRIVE\".  The car was very dusty.  If we had been on an Interstate at 70 mph that would have been an accident, with steering and brakes inhibited somehow? I shut OFF the engine, waited 10 minutes, started engine again and WARNINGS still active.  Shut OFF engine and waited 20 minutes.  Restarted engine and looked like warning were starting to clear, and steering and brakes felt normal again.  With no WARNINGS showing I drove very slowly for many miles with no further occurrences.  Slowly worked my way back across the country to Florida without any further failures. It appears to all be computer related, perhaps sensors failing and the computer shutting down what must be electrical steering and brake assist.  At speeds with Interstate traffic, that condition will be an accident.  There are no failure codes shown on the access panel. We have an appointment with our Honda service dealer, maybe they will be able to access a computer history to see the failure mode that caused loss of steering and brakes.  The fact that a computer can impact those critical systems on a vehicle, is a serious safety issue.  Prior to this incident, driving about 30 minutes on a dusty gravel road in Montana, some sensor must have been actuating the rear brake caliper, I could hear the scraping sound of pad on rotor, didn't sense the car slowing.
