The 2018 Honda Pilot elite immediately switched into neutral and went from 78 mph to 60 mph in 10 seconds. It was a total failure of the transmission. It had to be replaced. It took them a week to put in the remanufactured transmission and since that time, the following has happened: 7/1 night time about 8 pm was stopped at a stop sign when I went to go it started then stuttered - it seem like it trying to find the gear� then finally seem like it went into third gear� it did the same thing on the way home in a different area. 7/2 on the way to dealer was making a right turn -slow down to make the turn, and while making the turn I hit the gas and it stuttered again 7/2 in virginia after fredericksburg and before manassas on 95 n. I turned off an exit and started to do a u-turn. . . I came to a stop to wait on traffic and when I started up again, it started and then stuttered and then went 7/3 at about 1030 pm . . . . . . . . 13106 was going about 10-15 mph push the accelerator down and the engine just revved and didn't go so I hit the brakes so that I would stop at the light as it was yellow at the time 7/4 it stuttered several times. Several times when coasting then hitting the gas it would stutter, sometimes jerk and sometimes make a noise it has been into the dealer 3 times since the replacement transmission and they can't find anything wrong with it. One day I sat at the dealership for over 4 hours and waited on the district rep - he did show up but would not speak to me and would not let me drive the car when he rode in it to see what was going on.
