general problems of the 2012 Honda Pilot

While driving the vehicle at around 45 mph it suffered a complete loss of power for 3-5 seconds. The dashboard lights illuminated and then the vehicle restarted without having to restart via the ignition and all of the dash lights turned off. This has happened intermittently on two prior occasions. No electrical issues were evident, new battery and charging system appears to be functioning normally.

The contact owns a 2012 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle shuddered. Additionally, the contact stated that unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic; however, the contact is unaware of the diagnostic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Problem: while trying to accelerate, there is a resistance/hesitation that is felt in the gas pedal and the engine has trouble increasing rpm's. This is an intermittent issue. Case I: while in a parking lot, trying to pick up a little speed. Gas pedal has resistance and engine won't pick up speed. I keep my foot steady on the accelerator and then Pilot picks up speed in a unexpected rush. High level of danger due to people present in the area; as there was an unexpected amount of speed. Case road type: three lane road in each direction of traffic. While in the legal u-turn lane, I observe that there is enough distance to make a u-turn. From a stop I try to pick up speed (I was aiming for 5k rpm's, I know how far to press the gas pedal to get that response). A great resistance and lack of response from the gas pedal was felt. There was minimal acceleration happening and then after about 6 to 8 seconds, the engine was able to get to 6k rpm's. As the cars approached faster I almost got rear ended. As there have been more cases, these are to two most dangerous ones. *note: the resistance/hesitation of the gas pedal happens under any temperature in the cabin.

I brought my rain because of a woo king sound in 2014, 2015 Hondarepaired partially under warranty compliance bushings. While still under warranty the car needed tie rods replaced/tightened I paid for this has been an ongoing problem for the past three years posing a safety issue for me and my children. I've recently emailed and called Honda they are refusing to cover this because of the mileage deapitwthis has been an ongoing problem since the car was still under warranty. The front end is still wobbly after repairs which I believe is a defect in this model.

I have a 2012 Honda Pilot- I purchased used with 9k miles. I have put approximately 5k miles on the vehicle and immediately noticed an engine vibration similar to being in the wrong gear in a manual transmission. I took the car into the Honda dealership and asked them to check the transmission- as I initially thought that it was a "hunting" issue with the transmission- the dealer indicated that it was normal. The more I drive the vehicle, the more it appears to be related to the engine and not the transmission. The vibration is very annoying and not normal. Honda needs to step-up and take care of the problem. Too many issues out there with others with same complaints. If Honda does not correct soon it will tell me a lot about the quality status of their brand. This is my 4th Honda and will certainly be my last that if Honda fails to solve the problem. Let's see it Honda- clock is ticking. . .

Intermitent accellerator response delay. Sometimes when you need to accellerate, as when making a left turn in traffic, the response delays and then responds. This is a safety issue. You cannot depend upon response to the accellerator when you may need it. Honda upgraded a program earlier and there was improvement, but the problem still persists.

The contact owns a 2012 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph and attempting to decelerate, the vehicle suddenly began to vibrate and lose power before responding normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but no diagnosis was determined. No repairs were performed. The contact was informed that the vibration was caused by the motor mounts, which the dealer advised was normal. The vehicle continued to experience the failure. The manufacturer was notified and no solution was offered. The failure mileage was 15,000.

After the break-in period, I took the vehicle to highway speed. Constant vibration under light throttle at constant speed (between 63-68 mph), eco mode. Only solution is to raise or reduce the speed which is a safety concern on the highway - running over people or get run over. The vibration is very annoying which cause the drivers (and the passengers) to lose focus on the road - another safety concern. Brought the car back to the dealer several times but no solution to fix it, currently driving this vehicle on the road and put my family and other cars on the road in danger as Honda thinks it's a characteristic of the vehicle.
