For the last few months we have been smelling fuel in the cabin when driving at slow speeds. Also when the fuel tank is topped off, we smell fuel when parked in the garage for 1 to 2 days afterwards. Took the vehicle to independent shop who advised they see signs of small fuel run-off from top side of tank. They performed a system pressure test and the evaporative side of the fuel tank failed the pressure test. The vehicle is officially not part of recall listed by Honda technical service bulletin 16-051 or 17-021. The replacement tank part no. 17044-tg7-a00 or 17044-tg7-a01 is not available from any Honda oem dealer due to backorder without any dates. We were advised to ensure vehicle is parked outside of garage for fume and fire safety. Called Honda automobile customer service recall line, they only can escalate as a goodwill request for this safety issue.
Check engine light on and when diagnosed by the repair shop the code p0456 which is very small evap leak. This should have been taken care of with the recall on this car. The repair shop printed all of the recalls and told me most likely it would need the fuel tank replaced which is cover under a recall. They told me to go to the dealership and see of the recall work has been completed. The dealership advised that the recall was done in the past.
When my car fuel went down to empty the light came on and I pulled over to get gas. When I pushed the automatic release button my fuel door would not open. I searched up possible causes and found a video of a man demonstrating where you can find a manual lever to pole to release the fuel door. I found the lever and pulled it at the door would not open. Thankfully I was not too far away from home and drove home on my empty tank. If I had been somewhere far away this could have been disastrous. I took it to the Honda dealer who had to pull apart half of my car to get to the place to fix it. I had also read online that this has happened to other Honda Pilot owners. It seems dangerous.
I've had several issues with my 2016 Honda Pilot in the past few months. I currently have 110k miles on my vehicle but my problems began at around 80k. My check engine light and several other lights illuminate constantly. At first they would light up and go away. Brought it to service. They said there were no recalls and they change my spark plugs and told me to drive my car on at least a half tank of gas. Problem continued and then my car started running rough and idling rougher. I brought it in again and was told I needed to replace my fuel injectors. That was taken care and I still have a check engine light illuminates along with emissions system problem warming and my car still runs rough and has trouble accelerating. Song with all of these issues I've also had to replace my ignition and key fob and my auto start is not working. I have over a100k on the car which I understand can cause wear and tear but all of these problems far exceed the definition of normal wear and tear. I'd like to know if there is a recall on anything and what can be done to remedy these situations. My car is at service yet again trying to find out what is causing it to run so rough. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Gas tank leaking in garage while engine off.
2016 Honda had recall for fuel tank leakage. My VIN out of that range but I notice recently my Honda Pilot 2016 have leakage too. When fueling I saw underneath car there's fuel dropping. Honda said my car not in the range. So I want to claim report there is more car out there exposed safety and environmental hazard situation.
My family traveled in this vehicle to carlsbad last week for vacation, including myself, my wife, our 13 year old daughter and 11 year old son. The vehicle worked perfectly until we were on our way home Saturday, July 22, 2017. We were on I-10 approximately 1 hour east of phoenix in the right lane with the cruse set at the 75mph speed limit. There were no cars in front of us for at least a mile. All the sudden, without any warning whatsoever, nearly all the vehicle system lights came on and the vehicle slowed at an emergency rate down to approximately 40mph in about 2 seconds. I immediately hit �cancel� on the cruise and stepped on the gas, but the vehicle continued to slow quickly. I immediately started to move to the shoulder of the road and noticed the 18 wheel tractor trailer behind us make an emergency swerve to the left and missed hitting us by inches. We were nearly involved in an accident that could have easily been fatal. All this took place in about a 5-10 second timeframe. After stopping on the shoulder of the road I made note that the vehicle was showing a transmission problem, an emissions problem, an awd problem and I think just about every other issue light was lit up. I tried to get the vehicle back on the road, but it would not go any higher than 3rd gear and the dash kept indicating a transmission and awd problem. I pulled over again and turned the vehicle off and back on. At that point the only indicator light that lit up was the emission system problem (see attached picture). I reentered the interstate and the transmission was working properly again. We stopped at the next gas station and filled the gas tank and upon restarting the engine the emission light was still on. We carefully drove home at 65�70mph. The following day (Sunday), the emission light was no longer on.
