What Owners Say
"During a long trip from cold climate Minnesota to Florida the calipers started sticking"
Anonymous, MN (2015 Honda Pilot Touring 3.5-L V6)"Routine brakes and rotors, and battery and alternator replacement."
Anonymous, ME (2015 Honda Pilot EX-L 3.5-L V6)"The brakes wear out quickly on the Hondas. I have experienced this first hand, my mechanic reports it is an issue and I have seen it on forums. I still the Honda Pilot is a good car but this is a flaw."
Anonymous, PA (2015 Honda Pilot EX 3.5-L V6)"The car vibrated when brakes were applied. We had it serviced in 2023 and the problem went away temporarily. In 2024 the vibrations when applying the brakes happened again and we recently had them repaired again. Hoping it holds this time."
Anonymous, CA (2015 Honda Pilot LX 3.5-L V6)"We first noticed this problem within the first year of ownership. When applying the brakes, and especially at highway speeds, there was excessive steering wheel shake. Well, in the last two years, I got tired of the problem and had to brakes replaced by an independent shop. Those brakes have been incredibly better than what Honda put on this vehicle. I might add that the same problem as a parent on the 2011 Honda pilot that we previously owned. I consider it as dangerous because most people are not expecting that to happen when driving it seven day and you need to brake."

"I believe it is called the ABS modulator valve - $4500=$5500 for just the part. Looking into used part or a rebuilt part for much less. Issue leave 3 dashboard trouble lights on. Part is hard to get - always out of stock."
