In 2017, the Honda Pilot may have an issue where the rear liftgate gets stuck partially open, beeps, and then closes on its own. There are reports of the power button failing at times, possibly due to a sensor error. The beep serves as a warning when the liftgate detects an obstacle while closing. Many owners have experienced the halfway open problem and are frustrated that dealerships haven't provided a permanent solution. Some have even had their liftgate motors replaced multiple times without fixing the issue. In some instances, the Pilot's roof rail trim obstructs the opening, requiring re-installation of the rails. Overall, solutions to these problems have been inconclusive.
