Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises Problems of Honda Pilot

While driving my vehicle on the highway at approximately 60 mph I heard a ticking noise for about 5 seconds then it went away. Shortly thereafter my vtm-4 light came on and shortly after that my check engine light started blinking. This caused my car to stall out at a traffic light in a 4 way intersection at 11pm. With the help of a person who happened to be walking by, the vehicle was pushed into a restaurant parking lot. After getting it towed to a mechanic, I was told that the spark plug in cylinder 2 shot up out of the cylinder, damaged the threads and exploded. I have been seeing this issue on many forums with this same exact problem. Now I am without a vehicle for an issue that has been common with these engines but not addressed as a recall.

Vehicle was stopped in a parking lot in "drive" with the auto-idle feature in use. Car would not re-start when foot taken off brake. Radio cut out briefly as well. Dashboard lit up with many error messages - one of them was "collision mitigation problem" or something similar. Placed car in park and pushed start button numerous times. Only got clicking sounds, with occasional engine turnover noise, but it wouldn't start. Turned off a/c and radio. Car finally started after several more minutes of pushing start button while in park with foot on brake.

On numerous occasions, beginning just months after purchase, I have had all of the indicator light turn on on my dash, including the lkas, collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, road departure and various notifications for my bluetooth, radio and navigation come on. Also, my backup camera will have a black screen and then my maps will be gray with no information. My car will suddenly brake when there is no one in front of me and surge forward as I'm to coming to a stop and the rpm's will raise, it's like I'm sliding over ice for a short period of time. I also can't make phone calls using the system, as it won't recognize any of my voice tags. And instead will give me every contact in my phone book with a home number when I ask for it to call home. Recently the abs is activating as I turn my wheels to the right while backing our of parking spaces, either on a driveway or flat surface. These may happen while driving or stationary and just turning the car on. It just isn't safe. I've had people slam on their brakes to avoid hitting me as my car decides to suddenly stop for no reason and have fear that I may rear end someone due to it lurching forward while stopping, so now I stop even further away from vehicles and objects - just in case. I'm also experiencing a popping noise coming from my speaker system that seems to occur whenever my ac compressor switches on or off or if I'm using my door locks, leading me to wonder if I'm actually having electrical issues. I've taken it to the dealer numerous times and they of course say that they can't duplicate the issues. So I show them all of my photos and videos. I'm not alone with many of these problems. I see others complaining of similar issues as well. Honda needs to repair our vehicles or buy them back. I've always loved Hondas but after my experience with this vehicle, they may have lost my business.

I've had people slam on their brakes to avoid my car as it suddenly stops for no reason and have feared that I may rear end someone due to it lurching forward, so now I stop really far back from other vehicles.

My family's safety is too important to leave in the hands of a corporation that cares more about their bottom line, than their customers.

Went to dealer for a recall service and maintenance, also ask dealer to check for an issue about car makes a clunking sound some where in front engine when turn right. They found the front/right engine mount was broken, need to be replaced both of them and cost $820. I found a lot of Pilot owners has same issue. I think Honda should issue a recall for this.

Vibration in steering wheel, clunking sound from engine compartment, I took the car to the dealer who found the front engine mount was broke.

The contact owns a 2011 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while driving approximately 87 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled after exhibiting a loud popping noise. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where they advised the contact that the failure could have been caused by the electrical system but they could not confirm that it was the actual cause. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. The failure and the current mileages were approximately 9,800.
