Other Fuel System Problems of Honda Pilot - part 1

Auto idle stop (ais) system failed to restart engine after automatic shutdown at high elevation (~10,000 ft), following a long sustained incline. Vehicle had been driven through extreme heat (100°f+) in foothills prior to the climb, then ascended into cooler mountain air (~70°f). Coolant temperature gauge read normal (under half) at time of incident. At a stop, ais shut off the engine as designed. Engine did not start when I released the brake pedal. I have tried to turn off the car completely and start it again. Engine would not restart via the engine start/stop button afterward. Cranking was strong and fast, but engine did not catch/start. Vehicle was inoperable for approximately 5 minutes, after which it started normally with no further intervention (no jump start, no mechanical repair). After restart, auto start/stop was manually disabled for the remainder of the trip. Vehicle then completed a 1-hour drive home with no further starting or performance issues, suggesting the ais restart logic, not an unrelated mechanical or electrical fault, was the cause.

My current 2021 Honda Pilot (purchased used may 2024) is stalling out in live traffic - the most recent on xxx creating a massive safety hazard. (in addition, the engine is making the same exact clicking noise that the 2015 Honda VIN:[xxx] made right before the engine catastrophically seized on my way to work. That 2015 Honda Pilot seized due to a defective variable cynlinder management (vcm) system. This defect was covered by a court-ordered federal class-action settlement warranty extension (alex [xxx] v. American Honda, case no. Xxx), extending coverage to 10 years/150,000 miles. While that vehicle was fully within this window - Honda of [xxx] wrongfully denied this legal warranty. ) the current 2021 Honda Pilot (purchased used) VIN: [xxx] suffers from intermittent engine stalling in live traffic. The dealership has failed to resolve this issue across three separate visits, while exploiting the emergencies. The timeline of failed repairs includes: 2/14/ the vehicle stalled in live traffic. The dealership charged me $420. 48 for diagnostics and a failed repair. 8/13/the dashboard lit up and the vehicle suffered engine failure leaving my family stranded for 9 hours waiting for Honda assist. It was brought to the Honda of new rochelle service center where they exploited this emergency to charge me an exorbitant $1,300. 00 out of pocket for unrelated work financed via sunbit loan. 9/24/2025: the vehicle stalled in live traffic for a third time. The dealership charged me an additional $572. 00 for another failed repair. They reguse to give me the ro's and the car has 29 active codes including u3006-16 (ecu power source failure), proving a severe electrical or fuel delivery hazard remains completely unresolved.

2019 Honda Pilot with under 60k miles, no obvious symptoms but codes p219b and p0430 coming up, multiple sites reporting common recall for fuel injector issue with these codes. Called dealer and reporting that VIN not covered even though codes/symptoms the same as other vehicles covered under recall. Estimated cost over $1000 to replace fuel injectors.

I was driving home at 4am on I-95 with my children in the car. My car has had a history of "juttering" and making a vibrational noise, but on the way home there was an issue with acceleration when using the gas pedal, and slow to gain speed. There were times when the gas pedal didn't respond to my foot depression at all, and did not accelerate. When I was almost home, many lights came on my dash including: blind spot warning, emissions systems problem, transmission problem apply parking brake when parked, stop driving when safe transmission problem see manual. The car is not driveable at this time and sitting in my driveway. I have no idea where to tow it to or what to do or how much it will cost.

Fuel started to pour from under the vehicle above the gas tank. The seal on the fuel pump was causing this when the vehicle was turned on. The fuel pump was on recall for this failure and the vehicle was towed to the Honda autonation dealership in mobile, al. While there the franchise dealership executed safety recall 21-034 on my 2019 Honda Pilot; the fuel pump. The technician then sent us a video saying the fuel pump did not fix the problem as a rodent had chewed through the fuel line near the fuel pump above the gas tank. He did not show an image of this damage nor produce evidence of rodents. During the repair, the technician mechanically damaged the high-pressure fuel line. The line subsequently continues to leak gas under pressure, creating an immediate engine fire hazard. The dealer then falsified paperwork blaming rodents to escape liability. This is evident by the crescent shaped slice through the fuel line. I have video proof showing the difference in fuel leaks from the pump and then from the sliced fuel line.

I am submitting this complaint regarding a fuel injector failure and emissions system malfunction in my 2019 Honda Pilot. At the time of the failure, the vehicle had approximately 94,693 miles and had been routinely maintained. On [xxx], while traveling from ohio to pennsylvania with my family, the vehicle displayed an "emission system problem" warning and illuminated the check engine light. The vehicle was diagnosed by faulkner Honda in harrisburg, pennsylvania. The dealership found dtc p0430 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold) and performed an air/fuel ratio test. According to the dealership, four of the six cylinders were running rich due to excessive fuel delivery. The dealership recommended replacement of the fuel injectors, and all six fuel injectors were replaced. The injector repair cost approximately $1,100. The dealership advised that possible causes included internal fuel injector failure or carbon buildup but could not provide a definitive explanation for the failure. Neither the dealership nor Honda could explain why my vehicle was excluded from Honda's fuel injector warranty extension despite exhibiting the same symptoms and requiring the same repair associated with that program. I was advised that the warranty extension applies only to certain vins produced during specific manufacturing periods and facilities. However, my vehicle experienced the same failure pattern, including a rich-running condition, emissions-system warning, catalyst-efficiency diagnostic code, and replacement of the fuel injectors. While researching the issue, I reviewed NHTSA complaints involving 2019 Honda Pilot vehicles. Numerous complaints describe similar fuel injector failures, emissions-system warnings, catalyst-efficiency codes, and injector replacements. Based on the number of similar complaints, the affected vehicle population may extend beyond the VIN range currently covered by Honda's warranty extension. I request that NHTSA review whether additi information redacted pursuant to the freedom of infor.

I am filing a safety complaint regarding a 2024 Honda Pilot touring with approximately 46,000 miles. The exact component or system that failed is currently unknown. My best assessment is that this may involve the electrical system, powertrain, engine control/software system, charging system, auto idle stop system, or another related vehicle control system. The vehicle is currently available for inspection upon request. The vehicle has had intermittent multiple warning lights appear on the dashboard. On June 7, 2026 around 9:00pm, while the vehicle was in drive, the vehicle shut off/lost power. This created a serious safety risk because the vehicle was being operated when the shutdown/loss-of-power event occurred. I am concerned this could happen again while driving, including at freeway speeds or while transporting a child. The problem has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by the dealer. The vehicle was taken to a Honda authorized dealership for inspection. The dealership advised that the battery tested fine and that no diagnostic trouble codes were found so far. Diagnostics are still pending, and as of this complaint, no confirmed cause, diagnosis, or repair has been provided. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives. American Honda motor CO. Has been contacted, and a case has been opened regarding this concern. Warning lamps/symptoms did occur before the shutdown/loss-of-power event. The vehicle had intermittent multiple warning lights on the dashboard before/around the time of the incident. The warning lights first appeared on or around June 3, 2026. The shutdown/loss-of-power event occurred on or around June 7, 2026. I am requesting that NHTSA document this safety issue involving a 2024 Honda Pilot touring shutting off/loss of power while in drive with no confirmed diagnosis or repair at this time.

While driving down a freeway, my car shuddered and my engine suddenly lost power and was put into limp mode. Mechanic determined it was the high pressure fuel pump that failed. This vehicle was part of the recall for the low pressure fuel pump that was completed. It also had to have fuel injectors replaced under Honda’s extended warranty over faulty injectors.

I am filing a safety and defect complaint regarding my 2016 Honda Pilot (3. 5l v6 engine). In Dec 2025, the "emission system problem" warning light ocationally illuminated on the dashboard. On 5/26/26. While driving, the vehicle suddenly began to shake violently and experienced a severe loss of acceleration—when I stepped on the gas pedal, the vehicle hesitated and would not speed up (loss of motive power). In June I let a certified Honda dealership scanned the vehicle and pulled diagnostic trouble codes p0430, p219a, and p219b, confirming that the fuel injectors have failed. This is a well-documented manufacturing defect explicitly detailed in Honda’s technical service bulletin TSB 20-100. The defect causes uneven fuel delivery and cylinder misfires, which poses a severe driving hazard, including sudden engine stalling, loss of motive power while driving, and acceleration hesitation in traffic. Although american Honda previously extended the warranty for this specific injector defect to 10 years or 150,000 miles, my vehicle was denied coverage by american Honda corporate customer relations solely because it has just passed the 10-year mark (the vehicle was purchased on November 30, 2015), despite having only 140,000 miles (well under the mileage limit). This is a critical safety and environmental hazard inherent to Honda's manufacturing design. An expiration of time does not make a known manufacturing flaw any less dangerous on public roads. I request NHTSA to investigate this persistent issue and upgrade the current warranty extension to a mandatory safety recall so that affected consumers are not left driving hazardous vehicles or forced to pay thousands of dollars out-of-pocket for an acknowledged factory defect.

On may 23, 2026 I was driving family and friends around san francisco, CA in my 2017 Honda Pilot (48k miles). We were driving up multiple steep hills, up to a 20% grade in some places with a full car of 7 people. The car handled it well. However, as we neared my home 25 miles away, the car started shaking and the check engine light started flashing. We searched online and the advice was to pull over immediately to prevent the car from overheating and causing permanent, expensive damage. We eventually made it home, shaken, and didn't touch the car for a couple days to let it rest. I learned that there is a warranty extension "warranty extension TSB 20-100" for what seems like this exact problem concerning the fuel injectors. The spark plugs have been replaced in the last year, which eliminates that as a potential issue. The next week, I took the car to Honda san carlos where it's been maintained most of its life. I informed them of the symptoms and that the car is eligible for this warranty extension. They tested it and found nothing. I told them that testing it in the shop or driving it around a few minutes on flat ground with one person is not going to replicate the driving conditions we encountered but they didn't seem to care and I had to pay $250 anyway. I took this to another dealership and the guy said it sounded exactly like an warranty extension TSB 20-100 issue. They tested it and also could not find anything. I called Honda corporate and they will also do nothing. This is clearly a safety issue as this problem will happen again at some point. I have a family and young children and do not want to be stuck on the freeway as a road hazard to ourselves and other drivers. Honda has clearly identified this as a problem yet they won't authorize the repair. They are waiting for this to happen again before they'll fix it, and who knows if this ticking time bomb will occur in a safe place or a dangerous one.

Fuel injector problem requiring replacement. Same code as known vehicles of same make and model under warranty extension. My VIN was not listed to qualify for extended warranty and Honda us refused any assistance in coverage.

Vehicle: 2019 Honda Pilot VIN: [xxx] my 2019 Honda Pilot is experiencing an "emissions system problem" accompanied by diagnostic trouble code (dtc) p219a (air-fuel ratio imbalance). This defect causes engine hesitation, rough idling, and a severe risk of sudden loss of motive power or engine stalling while driving at highway speeds, presenting a significant safety hazard to myself and other motorists. American Honda is fully aware of this manufacturing defect. They issued service bulletins 20-100 and 21-010 extending the warranty to 10 years/150,000 miles for this exact code and symptom on 2017–2019 Honda Pilots due to defective fuel injectors and faulty pcm software. However, Honda has arbitrarily excluded my specific VIN from this extension (case number case # xxx). Honda corporate has officially denied assistance, forcing me to drive a vehicle with a known fuel system defect that threatens sudden vehicle failure in traffic. I request that the NHTSA investigate Honda’s arbitrary exclusion of affected vins for this acknowledged safety defect. Thank you information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

In may 2026, the emission warning light unexpectedly illuminated on my 2016 Honda Pilot. I immediately sought an inspection, and repairs were completed on 5/9/2026. Failed component: the fuel injection system failed. Specifically, the injectors for cylinders #4 and #5. The replaced parts [are / are not] available for inspection. Safety risk: this defect caused the engine to run dangerously rich, dumping raw fuel into the exhaust. This poses two severe safety hazards: 1) sudden loss of motive power, hesitation, or stalling while driving in traffic, drastically increasing crash risk. 2) extreme overheating of the catalytic converter, creating a significant under-vehicle fire hazard. Confirmation & symptoms: the issue was confirmed by a professional service center. They pulled diagnostic code p0430 (front bank catalyst system efficiency below threshold bank 2). Following Honda’s service bulletin 20-100, the technician performed a software update and a cylinder a/f test. Cylinders #4 and #5 failed the test (running rich), requiring immediate injector replacement to make the vehicle safe to drive. Inspection by others & manufacturer awareness: the vehicle was inspected by the repairing facility. Honda is fully aware of this widespread defect, as evidenced by sb 20-100 and a related warranty extension. However, Honda chose to handle this severe defect via a limited warranty extension rather than a mandatory safety recall. My extended warranty expired in October 2025. When this known safety hazard manifested in may 2026, I was forced to pay for the repair entirely out of pocket. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this known stalling and fire hazard and compel Honda to issue a formal safety recall so consumers are not left at risk.

Component involved: engine lubrication / cylinder head / variable valve timing (vvt) spool valve (solenoid assembly) and electrical charging system (alternator). Vehicle affected example: Honda vehicles equipped with the 3. 5l v6 (j35 engine series) with variable cylinder management (vcm), including the Honda Pilot. Description of the safety defect & failure mechanism: the rear (bank 1) variable valve timing spool valve assembly is mounted directly above the vehicle's alternator. Due to thermal cycling and material degradation, the molded rubber gasket on the upper portion of this spool valve assembly experiences premature compression set and fails, resulting in a pressurized engine oil leak. Because of the physical packaging and architecture of the j35 engine, the oil dripping from this failed gasket falls directly into the open housing of the alternator located immediately below it. The engine oil contaminates the alternator's internal brushes, slip rings, and diodes, leading to a catastrophic electrical short circuit and total failure of the charging system. Description of the safety risk: when the alternator fails due to oil contamination, the vehicle experiences an immediate drop in system voltage, resulting in a sudden and un-warned loss of electrical power while the vehicle is in motion. This triggers a cascade of safety hazards: loss of power steering assist: the sudden loss of electrical generation drops the vehicle into battery-reserve power, frequently causing the electronic power steering (eps) to shut down immediately, drastically increasing steering effort and the risk of a crash. Engine stalling: total depletion of the battery occurs rapidly without alternator output, leading to sudden engine stalling in active traffic without the ability to restart. Loss of safety systems: reduced system voltage disables critical safety components, including advanced driver assistance systems (adas), supplemental restraint systems (airbags).

Car has shut off while driving. Check engine light, traction control light, hill assist light, power steering light, and vehicle stability light have all come on causing me to have to pull over on the side of the road.

On [xxx] at 106,266 miles, brandon Honda (brandon, FL) diagnosed my 2016 Honda Pilot with dtc p0219a (air/fuel ratio variation, cylinders #1 & #2). The dealer quoted $2,637. 99 to replace fuel injectors. This is a known manufacturing defect documented in Honda service bulletin a20-100 (issued 11/24/2020). Honda acknowledged that debris from the high pressure fuel pump or fuel injector machining process causes internal wear and clogging of the fuel injectors. Honda extended the warranty on this repair to 10 years / 150,000 miles from the original in-service date. My vehicle is approximately 5 months past the 10-year time limit but 44,000 miles under the 150,000-mile limit. Honda denied my goodwill warranty request solely based on the time expiration. This defect affects hundreds of 2016 Pilot owners. Forum threads on [xxx] have accumulated 280,000+ views with 75+ participants reporting the same failure. Many owners received $0 repairs under the bulletin while others — unaware of the bulletin or slightly outside the window — paid $750-$2,600+ out of pocket for a defect that is Honda's manufacturing responsibility. This issue was never issued as a full recall despite being a widespread manufacturing defect. The warranty extension is insufficient — it allows Honda to avoid accountability for vehicles just barely outside an arbitrary time window while the defect is clearly mileage-related (my vehicle is well within mileage limits). Honda should recall this defect or extend coverage for all affected vehicles regardless of the time limitation. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The malfunction indictator light came on due to diagnostic trouble code p0430 (front bank catalyst system efficiency below threshold [bank 2]) while driving. The vehicle has 64,240 miles and has had zero symptoms prior to the dtc appearing. This problem is noted in service bulletin 21-010 for Honda Pilots year 2017-2019, but my VIN was not included in the "VIN range". I am taking the vehicle in to the dealer for an inspection and diagnostic, but I believe the "VIN range" should be updated to include my vehicle.

I am seeing warning lights on my screen and using obd-ii scnner shows code p0302 (misfires). Vehicle bought 2020 August and gas about 90k miles. Is this vehicle under recall for this issue.

Fuel pump recall performed. Since repair, check engine light appears every time fuel is added. Issue did not exist prior to recall service.

We have had a number of issues and several recalls associated with our 2017 Honda Pilot which has less than 78,000 miles on it. The issue I am writing about today involves the recent failure of the high-pressure fuel pump which I believe is related to the prior failure of the low-pressure fuel pump. In 2023, there was a recall of the low-pressure fuel pump for our 2017 Honda Pilot. The repair for our low-pressure fuel pump was delayed for 14 months because Honda did not have enough parts to cover all recalled vehicles. Therefore, we had to wait for over a year to get the low-pressure fuel pump replaced. Last week, our high-pressure fuel pump failed due to "internal failure" per the dealer. It is common knowledge that damage or failure of a low-pressure fuel pump can directly cause damage or failure of a high-pressure fuel pump because the high-pressure fuel pump relies on consistent, pressurized supply of fuel from the low-pressure fuel pump for lubrication and cooling. I believe the failure of the low-pressure fuel pumped coupled with the delay replacement of the low-pressure fuel caused the failure of the high-pressure fuel pump. Based on shared experiences online from other Honda Pilot owners, it seems like a lot of people are suffering similar issues. The high-pressure fuel pump is not currently under recall and, therefore, vehicle owners have to pay for the replacement of this part. I believe the failures of the high-pressure fuel pump and the connection to the failures of the recalled low-pressure fuel pumps should be investigated. Thank you.

I was driving and I was crossing a major intersection and the vehicle started loosing power and stalled in the middle of the intersection. I had to power the vehicle off and power on again and then it drove. It usually happens when my gas is under half. It has happened multiple times. This is extremely dangerous. I was told it is a fuel pump issue.

Car was being drive on the indiana road and rolled down window and smelled something burning. Then all of a sudden the transmission fail light came on and the car started to power down and we pulled over. The engine was on fire.

On April 9, 2026, my daughter came in from school and parked her Honda Pilot at about 5:10pm. At about 7:03pm, my wife and I were sitting outside and heard a loud pop, it sounded like a car backfiring. I went to investigate and saw a little smoke and a small orange glowing piece of something on the ground under the vehicle towards the front of the vehicle. I grab a fire extinguisher from my work truck and went towards the vehicle. The car was locked and I saw flames under the hood standing by the driver door looking down where the windshield wipers are. I used the extinguisher till it was empty and the flames kept getting worse. I just walked away and my wife was already calling 911. No one was hurt no damage to any exposures. My daughter did not indicate that anything was wrong with the vehicle. No lights on, no smells, everything ran fine. It had 154,000 miles on it. I do have ring video footage of the event. I did file a claim with my insurance and sent them the video footage.

It has happened on multiple occasions where I’m driving at 70mph, and my engine cuts out and I can no longer accelerate on the highway. My rpm’s drop to 0. I have to pull over until it comes back on again. It’s putting my safety, my children’s safety at risk, other drivers on the road at risk when all of the sudden my car will not accelerate. . Has not been inspected by manufacturer. No other symptoms, no lights come on.

An “emissions system problem” warning message appeared intermittently on the dashboard while driving. The warning light would sometimes turn off after restarting the vehicle, but the issue persisted in the vehicle’s stored diagnostic system. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, where a diagnostic scan confirmed a p0430 code (catalyst system efficiency below threshold). The dealer identified the likely cause as failing fuel injectors and recommended replacement of the injector system. The issue was confirmed by the dealership and is reproducible through stored fault codes, even when the warning light is not actively displayed. This condition may impact engine performance, fuel mixture, and emissions system operation. In certain situations, this could lead to reduced engine performance or hesitation, which may affect the ability to safely accelerate or merge into traffic. The vehicle has been regularly maintained according to manufacturer recommendations. There were no significant warning signs prior to the initial dashboard alert other than the intermittent warning message. The failed components (fuel injectors) should be available for inspection upon request through the servicing dealership.

Upon accelerating from a stop, or at various speeds, the vehicle experiences a significant loss of motive power(pulling backwards) followed by an abrupt lunge forward. This hesitation occurs unpredictably and makes entering traffic or intersections extremely hazardous. This feels like a fuel delivery or transmission engagement failure. The last incident occurred on or around the afternoon of March 23. My vehicle has been examined at the dealership on multiple occasions for this same issue and each time I have been told that they are unable to replicate the issue and can not help me further unless they are able to replicate the issue.

While driving, the vehicle lost engine power on three separate occasions (3/6/26, 3/10/26, 3/20/26) and had to coast to a stop on the road. One of the codes that appeared was p0087; the Honda dealership replaced the fuel pump kit (part # 06161-rlv-305) due to the fuel rail pressure being too low, but the vehicle continued to stall upon replacement after being picked up from the dealership. When it was brought back to them, they could not find a problem or replicate the stalling. This is a safety risk because the car is stalling for an unknown reason and will not start back up for 10-15 minutes. This is a safety risk to the driver and others because stalling could cause an accident or fatalities if the driver is unable to safely pull over. Fuel pumps are a known problem in 2017 Pilots and this vehicle was not included in the recall (sb 24-010). I paid $1694 for the repair from the Honda dealership and the problem is still occurring. There were no warning lights prior to the failure. Honda should reimburse me for this cost, but they denied responsibility for the cost despite service bulletin 24-010. These vehicles are unsafe and should not be on the road at all.

While driving on the expressway at speeds above 60 mph and while attempting to pass another vehicle the vehicle shuts down with no acceleration. The vehicle will then after several seconds regain acceleration. Several times it has sounded like the vehicles starter engaged. This is a random occurrence and has happened approximately 10 times. There are no error codes and the dealership states that they can not recreate the issue so there is nothing wrong.

On 3/16/26 I attempted to accelerate and the vehicle experienced severe "bucking" and gear hunting hesitation before losing all drive power and stalling. Following the stall, the engine would not crank or "catch" despite multiple attempts. State police arrived as I was in an unsafe location (blind on-ramp to highway) they called their tow trucks deeming it hazardous to wait as Honda roadside assistance would not arrive for an estimated 60-90 minutes. It was brought to the local dealership. After an hour from incident to inspection at the local Honda dealership, the vehicle powered on normally of which no codes showed and the vehicle started with no issues. The manufacturer and dealer state they cannot replicate the problem and found no historical or pending diagnostic trouble codes (dtcs). Despite the lack of codes, these symptoms are a direct match for nhsta recall campaign 25v-031 (Honda recall al0) which was officially announced to address torque control failures caused by the fi-ecu software. According to Honda’s safety report, improper programming in the fuel injection unit causes the engine to stall during "sudden changes in throttle opening"—which is exactly what I experienced. As of now, my VIN has not been identified on the current recall list. This loss of power during acceleration creates an immediate safety risk of rear-end collisions and leaves the driver stranded in active traffic.
