The electronic safety features and new radio system and poorly thought out and not reliable. The adaptive cruise control is slow to respond and the brakes more than needed at the default settings. Becomes a bit better if you set the distance to the lowest (closest) following distance, but then you do end up closer to the rear bumper of car in front than you would like. The crash avoidance system has way to many false detections and is beeping just because there is oncoming traffic, but at least it doesn't jam on the brakes. The Sirius radio was terrible but has gotten better since the recall for firmware update which at least made it much more reliable. The tire pressure monitoring system repaired and now seems stable. All of these feature were present in my old 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and were much better designed and more reliable than in the Pilot, and that is disappointing. At least they were free on the Pilot, so I guess you get what you pay for. Ground clearance is too low and steering and handling are not great. I would not buy again!

19 Honda Pilot EX CMBS Error Message

Purchased a brand new 2019 Honda Pilot EX. At 2000 miles the Collision Mitigation Braking System activated(braked slightly) for no reason. Car was clean, weather was sunny. About 2 weeks later the following message appeared: "The Collision Mitigation Braking System has a problem. Have your vehicle checked by a dealer". I went to the dealer and the tech said since the error had cleared there was not much they could do. I had the first oil changed at 3000 miles a few days ago. I did not mention the issue to see if the invoice would say software updated of something like that. Nothing was listed. I had this same exact issue with a 2018 Honda CRV EX-L about a year ago except the CRV braked very hard on a sunny day with nothing in front of me. Let me tell you that when that occured I almost S**t myself. I traded in the new CRV for my old 2013 Pilot which cost me thousands of dollars over what it was worth. The 2013 Honda Pilot never gave me any problems. This new 2019 pilot handles great and is great in every way except it is very disappointing to have this problem again.

Gas mileage is okay, 20 to 22 mpg average, about 25 on highway. Comfortable and powerful, and the safety features took some getting used to. I like it better as time goes on.

Just passed 128,000 miles, never had front wheel bearings last as long as these with the snow and salt that it’s exposed to. Front collision sensor seems a bit sensitive.
