One problem related to noises during shifting has been reported for the 2013 Honda Pilot. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2013 Honda Pilot based on all problems reported for the 2013 Pilot.
When shifting from park to drive, vehicle emitted audible noise from within cabin and outside that sounded like a cluster of fast metallic clapping/snapping noises. The noise was accompanied and followed by an observed shake and hesitation to engage the vehicle. Eventually, the motion to transition into a zero gas coasting speed, was accompanied by a lurch to vehicles default drive when pulling out of a driveway. The first noticeable incident of this behavior was experienced in the November 2013 time frame, while in a drive-thru at a restaurant, when shifting from park to drive, and after ordering, the vehicle lurched forward while performing this transmission shift. The vehicle is with the dealer for a repeat service call to observe this pattern of shift change behavior. There may have been a few more incidents of this happening, but these two are the most noticeable that can be recollected at this time.
