1 Other Fuel System Fuel Injection System problem of the 2020 Honda Pilot

Failure Date: 02/12/2021

I'm writing to inform you of a severe safety issue that occurred with our 2020 Honda Pilot touring edition. My family and I were driving on the highway at about 70 mph when all of a sudden the car wouldn't accelerate and in fact lost power. The engine light was flashing and we were fortunate to have an exit ramp close and we coasted off on the exit ramp limited to 5 mph. All electronics were on (radio and dvd), but the car forced us to a stop. We called the Honda service line because this car is still under warranty. They informed us not to drive the car at this time with the engine light on. We sat in the car with the engine light on and pulled over for approximately 20 minutes. They recommended turning the car off for 10 minutes, like manual said, and then restart the car to see if we can drive to safety. We did this and the engine light was off and we were able to drive to a safe location. 100+ miles away from our home, we took it to a Honda dealer. They did an inspection of the car and attempted to read the system to find out why the engine light came on. They wrote up a detailed report and said that the engine light may not have been on long enough to get a read/report, but everything else looked ok. They did write in their report that there is a known bulletin for a fuel injection problem. They said they recommended it, but that the engine light would need to be on longer to justify recall. And lastly, I want you to be aware that this car, since purchasing new, has been in the shop or not correctly working for 4+ month of the year we have owned it. The dvd player, information electronic screen system broke and needed replaced. Additionally, we had loud cracking and popping noise and it required a cable with proper shielding to be replaced.

2 Other Fuel System Fuel Injection System problem of the 2017 Honda Pilot

Failure Date: 03/21/2018

I have 2017 Honda Pilot touring. I have a reoccurring problem with the anti break mitigation system. It continually activates in multiple driving situations that do not require it to activate. This problem occurs when I'm driving at different speeds, with and without the cruise control is set, and on any type of road. I have taken it to the dealership 5 times to have this problem corrected. They have been able to duplicate the problem. They have tried to repair this problem 5 times without success. The anti break system continues to activate incorrectly on almost a daily basis. The dealership has stated that there isn't a problem and that I can turn off the anti break system and drive my vehicle without it. I paid for this feature and I do not think that I need to turn it off as it is a safety feature of my car. This is a serious safety issue and it needs to operate correctly. I also had to replace the fuel injection system.

3 Other Fuel System Fuel Injection System problem of the 2016 Honda Pilot

Failure Date: 03/10/2018

My 2016 Honda Pilot was only 2 years old when I began having problems with it. While driving, my car began acting strange and I was unable to accelerate immediately. The engine kept hesitating and shaking when I pressed the gas, almost causing several accidents. The lights on the dash all came on and would not turn off. I took it to the dealership I had to pay for a diagnostic test $125 and they said I needed new fuel injectors on my almost new car. The dealer said it was no longer under warranty. I would have to pay $2000 out of pocket. I couldnt afford it. Called Honda corporate, they also refused to help. So I took it to a friend mechanic who couldnt believe I needed new fuel injectors when I only had 60k miles on the car. He replaced all the fuel injectors and the car worked for a while. However, after driving another 40k miles I am having the same issue again. Something is wrong with this car and is not safe to drive. I have read online that many people are having the same issue due to new direct injection technology that was installed in the Pilots and Honda is refusing to do a recall or fix the issue. I cannot afford to replace my fuel injectors every 40k miles. I still owe money on the car and have 2 more years left to pay. I am stuck with this horrible unsafe vehicle until then. I need it to get to work. I will never purchase from Honda again. I have submitted a copy of the invoice from the second mechanic diagnostic I went to after I went to the Honda dealership. I am still searching for the first Honda mechanic diagnostic invoice.

4 Other Fuel System Fuel Injection System problem of the 2005 Honda Pilot

Failure Date: 04/16/2016

I experienced a sudden involuntary unintended acceleration, while I was slowly pulling into a perpendicular parking space in at a medical center parking lot. This happened on a nearly empty tank of gas at about 3:15 pm on Saturday 4/16/16. It was a hot day. The parking space was at a slight incline. I was moving very slowly nearly stopped, yet once I was about a third of the way into the space, while still gently breaking, my car suddenly lurched forward with tremendous force if I had completely floored the gas pedal. I reacted fast pushed the breaks hard with all my strength. Which engaged the antilock braking so I heard a "thud-thud thud" a loud repeated clunking-locking sound. My Pilot did stop before hitting a tree and the vehicle in the facing parking space. I did not hear the engine rev to the degree of the sudden forward motion. Nor did I hear revving resolve once it stopped. It was a very odd and frightening experience that baffled my mind. I tried to sort out the cause for a while to see if maybe I had without knowing it put my foot on both pedals. But I don't think so. I had sandals on, and in trying to reproduce the situation, or the position my foot would have to have been in to do that, was awkward and I would have felt the pressure on my foot of putting on the gas. And I was only slowly pressing the break not jamming on the break ¿ until I braked to stop the speed of it lurching forward. The degree of acceleration was as if the gas pedal was put to the floor which was not what my breaking foot was doing. The car did come to a stop just in time to not hit what was at the front of the parking space. I did not hear the engine noise rev at all. My best guess at the time was something went terribly wrong with the mechanics or electrical signals of the fuel injection to move so suddenly forward. Now I am worried about the safety of this vehicle.
