One problem related to speed control cable has been reported for the 2012 Honda Pilot. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2012 Honda Pilot based on all problems reported for the 2012 Pilot.
When accelerating from a low speed, such as entering a parking lot from the roadway or entering a roadway from a parking lot, the engine does not respond to my pressing on the accelerator. After a few seconds, the car lurches forward. This only happens when accelerating from a very low speed, about 10 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice and an accelerator module was replaced, but there has been no change, the problem still exists. The danger is very serious when trying to enter the flow of traffic from a lot or side street. Very often, it takes much too long to reach the speed of the existing traffic. The dealer explained that there is no longer a cable connection between the accelerator pedal and the engine, it is now "fly by wire". There seems to be a disconnect between my pressing the accelerator at a low speed and the engine responding immediately.
