Other visibility problem on the 2007 Honda Pilot
Only 2 reports for this mode came with an odometer reading, which is too few for percentiles to mean anything. The page is here because someone linked to it; treat the figures as anecdotes, and see the full report for this year instead.
When other visibility problem gets reported
There are 3 reports of other visibility problem on the 2007 Honda Pilot, 2 with a mileage attached. That is too few to place the failure on the odometer with any confidence.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 75,000 miles. It is the 21st most-reported problem on this model year.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| — | — | 20,063 miles | — | — |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Putting it right typically runs $150–$1,400 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 14 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2019, at a median of 5,000 miles, and latest on the 2005 at 140,000 miles.
By volume the 2021 carries the most reports, with 27; the 2007 has 3. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
I was driving on a masspike (I-90) at 60 MPH around 5 pm westbound. All of a sudden, without any warning, everything just went out in the car, the engine just died on me, all the lights on the dashboard, navigation, etc. Neither the accelerator nor the brake worked on me. I was lucky enough to pull the car over to the far right lane. But I couldn't turn the emergency signal on because there was no power. In addition, windows didn't operate either so I couldn't even let other drivers on the road that I was stopped in the middle of the highway. I called aaa and the state trooper. While I was waiting for them to come out, about 10 minutes later, the power came back on by itself. So I finally turned the key to the off position and tried starting the car again. And it started and I dropped off the car at the service department at the dealer. I was very lucky that I didn't get into an accident and also lucky my 7-month-old daughter was not in the car with me. This is a serious safety issue to me and therefore, I filed a complaint to honda. After 4 days, case manager finally called me back telling me they will fix the car. The mechanic…
Heavy steering wheel vibration in the brand new vehicle purchased on 21st july 2007 taken back to the dealer for replacement of vehicle instead try to repair on 22nd july 2007 which vibrates the arms and chest of the driver. Sharp high frequency noise created by side windshields of driver and passenger causes irritation in the ears which causes psychological hearing of sound even while we sleep silently. No care has been taken to rectify the sound by the dealer nor ready to exchange the vehicle. *jb

How far this goes
This page is kept out of search results because 3 reports is not enough to publish percentiles from. It stays reachable because somebody looking at this exact car would rather see the reports than be told there are none.
Complaints are voluntary, so 3 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.
Questions this page answers
At what mileage does other visibility problem happen on the 2007 Honda Pilot?
Across 2 owner reports that included an odometer reading, half were filed by 20,000 miles. A quarter were filed before — and a quarter after —. These are the mileages owners reported when they complained, not a prediction for any individual car.
How common is other visibility problem on the 2007 Honda Pilot?
3 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 0.0 per 1,000 vehicles. Complaints are voluntary, so this is a floor rather than a count of affected cars.
What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
