Some Honda Pilot owners report experiencing issues with the back latch not opening, which may be attributed to a faulty door lock actuator or a stuck latch that requires replacement. In colder conditions, moisture freezing in the latch mechanism can also hinder its operation, but this can often be resolved with a de-icing spray. Additionally, some owners encounter problems with the glove box not closing or latching properly, potentially due to a broken latch mechanism or misalignment of components, which may necessitate the removal and replacement of the entire glove box door. Furthermore, noise while turning has been reported, indicating possible wear in the door hinge or latch assembly, suggesting a need for lubrication or maintenance to ensure smooth operation. It is advisable for owners experiencing these issues to consult a professional mechanic for diagnosis and repair to maintain safety and functionality.
