From 85,000 miles onward, had intermitent misfires on #1 and #2 cylinders. Replaced both plugs and coils on those cylinders. However, intermitent misfires continued. At 105,000, took vehicle for 100,000 mile maintenence. Honda dealer informed me that my vehicle needed new piston rings on cylinder #1, #2 and #3. Oil was leaking past rings and fouling plugs. A $2500 repair!! this issue was admitted and corrected at no charge by Honda on 2009 to 2013 Honda Pilots. Obviously, the issue continued into 2014 and should also be covered. Note: I have invoices for above repairs. .

The gasket on the spool valve on older Honda Pilots is known to fail. The failure results in oil leaking onto the alternator which fill cause the alternator to eventually fail resulting in a loss of power to the vehicle. This recently to my wife while driving on a busy highway. Oil leaking from the spool valve fouled the alternator resulting in the loss of power to the vehicle including to the power brakes and power steering. This engineering failure causes a hazardous situation. The vehicle had been recently serviced by Honda for an oil change and the issue was not noticed. At minimal, Honda should recommend replacement of the gasket as part of routine service after a period of time or certain mileage. A simple google search identified this issue with older model Honda Pilots.

Engine/piston/ring issue. Rings not aligned properly in one of pistons ( factory/assembly error) resulted in oil leaking and thrown on engine , caused 2 spark plugs to fail, this caused engine light to come on and then the vsa and vtm-4 came on and the eco light stopped working. . . We were travelling 70 miles an hour on highway. We were really afraid when the vtm-4 light came on! we had to pull off road, for fear of ruining the 4-wheel drive system, we didn't know what was happening. . We couldn't get the lights to go off, finally vtm-4 light went off and on the other lights stayed on. . . It was confusing. . . . Because the lights were false indicators due to being connected to the engine light. This malfunction caused the vsa and vtm-4 and eco light to come on falsely. Creating panic while travelling 70 miles an hour on interstate. Creating the false impresssion that the 4-wheel drive system had been activated while travelling at a speed of 70 miles an hour. Suggestion:. . . . Engine light should be separate from other warning system lights. . This incident occured approximately 300 miles from our home on a Sunday . . We took automobile to dealer Monday a. M. And had repair of piston/ring gaskets etc it was determined the other warning lights were false indicators. . .

The check engine light came on. I adjusted the fuel cap but it kept coming on. . . So I took it in to learn that I had little, if any oil. I had the oil changed at the Honda dealer less than 2 months prior to this happening! no indicator lights came on to say that the oil was low. I did research online and noted that similar Honda owners were having this problem. The oil is leaking at an excessive rate. So I got the oil replaced. Now, 2 months later, the check engine light is back on due to low oil levels, which were just replaced. There is an issue with the oil staying in the vehicle, and there are several complaints with this issue!.

On July 19, 2014 I had an oil appoinmentat 1:30 to have my free oil change. Of course the dealership has to make money some how, so my service advisor offered that I have the transmission serviced. Since I was getting the free oil I felt as though I needed to buy for some service. So the did both oil and transmission service. Left the dealship no more than ten minutes later on my way home,my Pilot started smoking on the right side as I stopped and was praying the light turn gree n so I could go I turned and more smoke come up. I jumped out of the car and ran to my house which was not far away and got my husbanc to come back with me only to find my car completly engulfed in flames. My car was a total loss. I believe that this was something that occured from the dealership. I never had problems with my car. Now the fire inspector that was hired by my insurnce company stated that on the first inspection there was no transmission oil in the car it had all leaked out. Transmission is very flamable. I would could have died in that car. Nothing was salvagable. I would like very much for someome to check about this. I filed a claim with myt insurance comapny. I have also filed a claim against Honda directly and of course I have not been in contact with. This was a devastating accident/fire what ever that I have had to deal with. I know in my heart that this was something done at the dealership level and this has really put a scary situation for me. I am very hesitate about a lot of things now. I have lots of pictures that I took that you can see that my car was a total loss. Fire totally burnt my car. Please contact me 772-370-7416.
