What owners wrote
My honda pilot becomes unstable at speeds above 60 MPH, it responds as though there is play in the steering and any small road imperfections cause the vehicle to veer left or right, I took it to cush honda where I purchased the vehicle and they said three of four tires had 52 pounds of air in the tires, which had to have been there on delivery since I have less than 700 miles on the vehicle and it has never been serviced or had air put in the tires, the problem still exists and is unsafe at highway speeds in…
Last month while driving vehicle seemed a little loose while going down the road, looked over front end and could find no problems. Daughter (who had driven daily) complained that problem was getting worse. While backing up slowly monday (3/20/17) , vehicle became uncontrollable and shifted lanes. Upon inspection it has been found both rear suspension mounting points (rear most 2 of 4) have rusted loose from unibody ( completely detached).
