Vehicle: 2026 Honda Pilot – mileage 20,847 issue: engine failure, oil leaks, wheel alignment, air conditioning, major gas leaks from the engine, safety electronics alerts on front dash display are saying the vehicle is not safe to drive. History of issues: 03-11-2026: car broke down while driving in [xxx] . 03-12-2026: received call from ira Honda service and was told they needed to replace the engine. 04-04-2026: I was told the vehicle was ready to be picked up. I started driving home and found the vehicle was all over the road. I returned to ira Honda and once again was given a loaner. Also, the engine was leaking oil. 04-09-2026: ira Honda called and said one of the engine gaskets was defective and they needed to replace it. They said that now the alignment was back in spec. I was told that the 3 yr engine warranty begins anew. When I got home I looked more closely at the alignment document and saw that the alignment was still slightly out of spec. I called and was told that it was the best they could do. 04-10-2026: air conditioning not working and asked for them to fix the alignment. 04-13-2026: I again brought the vehicle in for service. But was told there were no loaners available. I arrived at 9:30am and at 1:00pm. The a/c was fixed and determined the frame was not set correctly when they replaced the engine. This was the reason the alignment was off by so much. So the alignment was fixed. 04-14-2026: leaking oil. So again, I had to return to ira Honda. No loaner was available. 04-18-2024: Saturday morning and we smelled gas in the garage. Started the car and it took about a minute to start. Asked if it was safe to drive, ira service said yes. 04-20-2026: started the vehicle up and same issue occurred. However, this time gas was leaking out. It leaked in our garage, on our driveway and all over the street. Again fixed. 04-29-2026: car again failed to start. During startup the car leaked a large amount of gas. It is still at the dealership. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information.

Hi, I have a 2020 Honda Pilot that showed signs of stalling. Autonation Honda thornton road checked (03/07/2026) and reported I need an injector kit replaced and sdc gdi -intake throttle body furl injector service. All warning lights were on intermittently (on all day then nothing for 2-3 days then on all day the following day. ) the vehicle vibrates and feels like it's loosing power. Honda's website stated risk as " if the fuel pump module is inoperative, the engine may not start or can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. " I have two small kids (18 month and 5 year old) that I commute to and from school every day. Honda's website shows the same issue for Honda Pilots 2016-2021 however, my VIN does not qualify me for the recall. Instead I received an estimate for said repairs for $3,345. 06. Please! I am asking you to intervein as it is unfair to single out some vehicle owner even though they are having the same issue as others. Thanks in advance.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the vehicle’s high-pressure fuel pump failed approximately one year after the low-pressure fuel pump was replaced under a manufacturer recall. The low-pressure pump had been identified as defective and replaced accordingly. Because the low-pressure pump is responsible for supplying fuel to the high-pressure pump, it is reasonable to believe the defective component may have placed abnormal stress on the high-pressure fuel pump prior to its replacement, potentially leading to premature failure. The failed high-pressure fuel pump is still in the vehicle. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? failure of the high-pressure fuel pump can result in a sudden loss of fuel pressure to the engine, causing hesitation, loss of power, or engine stalling while the vehicle is in operation. This created a significant safety hazard, particularly as it occurred during highway driving, where sudden loss of propulsion occurred. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? the issue was diagnosed and confirmed by a service center as a failed high-pressure fuel pump. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? the vehicle was inspected by my personal mechanic who indicated fuel pump issues and noted recall then a Honda dealer during diagnosis but recall was for previously replaced low pressure pump and not the high pressure pump the issue has yet to be repaired. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? prior to the failure, the vehicle began experiencing noticeable fuel system performance issues, including reduced engine performance loss of mpg and drivability concerns. No lamps.

I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2019 Honda Pilot after experiencing a failure of the fuel rail assembly that resulted in the check engine light illuminating and required repair at my own expense. My vehicle exhibited the same symptoms and was diagnosed with the same fuel rail issue that is described in Honda’s existing recall for certain 2019 Honda Pilot vehicles. However, when I contacted Honda, I was informed that my VIN was not included within the recall population, despite my vehicle experiencing the identical failure. The fuel rail failure caused the check engine light to illuminate and required replacement of the defective fuel rail. Because my vehicle was excluded from the recall, Honda declined to cover the repair, and I was forced to pay the full cost out of pocket. I believe this demonstrates that the defect is not limited to the VIN range identified in the recall. My vehicle experienced the exact condition addressed by Honda’s recall, yet I received no assistance solely because my VIN was not included. Owners of vehicles with the same defect should not be responsible for repair costs simply because their vehicle falls outside the current recall range. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether the recall population should be expanded to include additional 2019 Honda Pilot vehicles affected by this same fuel rail defect and that Honda reimburse owners who have paid for repairs related to this safety issue.

I own a 2017 Honda Pilot. The vehicle has been stalling and losing power while driving. The loss of power creates a serious safety risk, especially in traffic and at highway speeds, as the vehicle hesitates and struggles to accelerate. The high-pressure fuel pump was replaced at my expense after the vehicle began stalling and losing power. Despite this repair, the problem has persisted. I am now being told by Honda that the low-pressure fuel pump also needs to be replaced. I have already paid for significant repairs, including replacement of the high-pressure fuel pump, water pump, timing belt, and related components. My vehicle’s VIN is not included in any fuel pump recall, although similar vehicles appear to have had related recalls. I did receive a warranty extension for the torque converter, but I have received no notification or warranty support regarding the low-pressure fuel pump. The stalling and loss of power place me and other drivers at risk, particularly in intersections and during highway driving. The issue has been diagnosed by a Honda dealer/service center. The failed components are available for inspection upon request. No consistent warning lamps appeared prior to failure. I am concerned this may be a broader safety defect affecting vehicles outside the current recall population.

Last year fuel pump in gas tank was fixed/recalled, fixed 2/2025, now 2/2026 the high efficiecy fuel pump in engine bay started making loud noises--no warning/codes--just loud banging noise, mechanic confirmed high efficiency fuel pump failing. Search on youtube also confirms many year/models as mine having same issue.

Fuel gage read incorrectly staing we had gas and estimated fuel for 70 miles. We stalled while driving. Several error lights came on, car would not start. After researching we saw alot of complaints about fuel guage issues so we were able to get 2 gal of gas and then make it to a gas station. Took car in for diagnostic, no known problem. ????.

On two separate occasions this vehicle has died when stopped at a traffic light. First time was in February and the second was in June, both times were in 2026. Both times had to push the off button and do a restart.

Currently showing dtc p219b (O2 sensor signal biased/stuck lean – bank 2 sensor 1) along with p0430 . For prior years thru 2019, Honda has issued service bulletins 19-072 and 20-100 covering dtcs p030x, p219a, and p219b, which may involve pcm software updates, a cylinder a/f test, and potential injector replacement. However, they have not issued bulletins for 2020. My car only has 58,000 miles.

Check engine light for fuel emissions and pulled codes. Codes included in known Honda service bulletin 20-100. My car was not included in the VIN search.

The"mil" reported "emmisions system problem" the dealer stated "diag code p219a" was the underying cause, and the reccomended solution was to "replace fuel injectors and check for pgm updates". I paid for the repairs, and took the vehichle home. After some research I discovered that these symptoms, codes, replacement parts etc. . Are all consistant with a Honda service bulletin (mc-10183514-0001) as refrenced by NHTSA id 10183514. Where Honda was extending the warentee for the fuel injectors. After reviewing the document I found that my VIN is not included in the scope of the "warentee extension" I opened case number 16127621 with american Honda motor CO. , inc. To inquire further and get a reasonable answer as to why my VIN was excluded from scope, they were responsive, but provided no explanation other than my VIN " is not included in this campaign for fuel injector concerns. Unfortunately, your vehicle is not eligible for reimbursement at this time. " I would like to have it "on record" that I have voiced concerns suspecting this is not a coinsidence, and the scope of the recall should be expanded.

After driving the vehicle for a few hours during a very cold day, as we got off an exit ramp. We then turned onto the next road in our travels and the check engine light went off and blinked. The vehicle went into limp mode. Pulled the vehicle over, turn the car off and then back on and everything worked just fine. Had an oil change already scheduled for 2 days later. Brought the vehicle in for it oil change and we told the Honda mechanic (dealership) what just happened. His response was: that is a common Honda problem. "you did what we would have told you to do. Turn the car off and then back on. When the engine compartment gets really warm when driving for long periods of time with the cold weather, something tells it to misfire and throws a check engine code. We tell people to do what you did and turn the car off and then back on". Meanwhile we had to go out of town again the following weekend. As soon as we got near our destination the same thing happened again. This time in an intersection! thankfully nobody was coming at the time of the limp mode to avoid a potential serious accident. I have put a lot of research into this and there are a lot of forums online that state this issue with no solution by Honda. I do not see how that is safe to have your car randomly throw a code and be forced to pull over immediately.

The fuel injector failed which cause safety issues such as reduced speed, failing safety issues, and the car is misfiring and not running safely. When driving the car started to misfire and was not running correctly. It then reduced speed and the safety features were disabled. Yes this issue was confirmed by ken vance Honda in eau claire WI. There was a flashing check engine light, hill start assist problem, emissions system problem, power steering system problem, trailer stability assist problem, and vehicle stability assistance problem lights that came on. This is a known safety issue with 2016 Honda Pilot as Honda America did an extended warranty to cover the expense to replace the injectors. Unfortunately, our car missed the deadline by a few months to get this covered. Since this was a known defective part from the factory this should have been taken care of by Honda as a full recall. There are many cars like this that are going to have safety issues and not realize what is happening.

I believe I have a fuel pump issue. My car has stalled on multiple occasions while trying to pull out of my driveway. There is at least a quarter tank of gas. I have had to get gas in a gas can and add it to the tank and then it would start. I now make sure I always have at least a half a tank of gas. On three separate occasions when the auto idle stop turns the car off at a light, the car does not restart when the brake is released and it slips the car into neutral (very dangerous at an intersection) there was a recall on Pilots fuel system, gasoline: delivery: fuel pump recall date 2023-12-17 recall no. 23v858000 Honda (american Honda motor CO. ) is recalling certain 2013-2023 Honda accord, civic coupe, civic sedan, civic hatchback, civic type r, cr-v, hr-v, ridgeline, odyssey, Acura ilx, mdx, mdx hybrid, rdx, rlx, tlx, 2019-2022 Honda insight, passport, 2020 Honda cr-v hybrid, 2018-2019 Honda clarity phev, fit, and 2015-2020 Honda accord hybrid, Pilot, Acura nsx vehicles. The fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail. Hide details recall consequence fuel pump failure can cause an engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. As you can see it covers Pilots from 2015-2020, however I am having this problem with my 2021 Pilot. Please consider extending the recall to 2021 Pilots.

The vehicle started to make loud clinking sound coming from engine. Went to dealership for diagnostic and high pressure fuel pump failed. Was quote 2000$ .

Turned car on and it was making a very loud sound coming from what sounded like the engine. Very loud when accelerating or stepping on the gas. Driving at lower speed was also loud. Unknown if it was safe to drive. Took to mechanic and was told it was the high pressure fuel pump. There were no warning lights or warnings.

Engine stalling/power loss.

I was driving and went through an intersection when all of a sudden the car automatically shifted into neutral and lights started flashing and stalled. The engine ceased up. I checked to see if I had oil. I did. Prior to this event on multiple occasions while driving on the hwy and trying to accelerate the engine had problems getting into gear. This vehicle has made me feel unsafe multiple times while driving and shifting out of gear and now just stalling while driving. Honda has a huge problem with the engines.

We were driving our 2019 Honda Pilot and at a traffic light the car failed to restart after the auto stop-start system shut off the engine. This happened when I started to step on the gas so we could have been rear-ended by the car behind us. The brakes also appeared stuck when I tried to depress them so I could restart the car. There was no warning until the car refused to start, but the computer system did appear to do some sort of a reboot sequence.

My vehicle has failed to restart several times with the auto idle start feature enabled while stopped at a stoplight. I was in a turning lane the first time it happened, so other vehicles had to make a left hand turn from a lane that was meant to go straight to get around me. The starter has not been inspected there weren't warning lamps prior to the auto start feature not working. When the car would not turn back on. I had to put the car in park, turn off "accesory mode", turn the car back on, and put the car back in drive. There have been several other instances the car has hesitated to restart, but it does.

Vehicle: 2025 Honda Pilot VIN: 5fnyg1h44sb075283 mileage: ~6,328 miles summary of safety defect: serious acceleration failure combined with existing safety recalls (brake pedal pivot pin defect and improperly routed third-row seat belt). Vehicle hesitates, fails to accelerate when needed, and creates dangerous crossing and merging conditions. Detailed description: I own a 2025 Honda Pilot that is currently subject to multiple safety recalls, including the brake pedal pivot pin recall and the third-row seat belt routing defect. In addition to these known defects, the vehicle has a severe and unpredictable acceleration failure that creates a significant safety hazard. On December 10, 2025, I attempted to turn left onto a main road from a complete stop. When I pressed the accelerator, the vehicle failed to accelerate quickly enough to clear oncoming traffic. The throttle response was delayed, sluggish, and unresponsive for several seconds. An oncoming driver had to brake hard to avoid hitting my vehicle. This was a near-collision and placed me and others in immediate danger. This hesitation and lack of power has occurred multiple times when: turning left across traffic merging onto highways changing lanes at speed attempting to accelerate from a stop the vehicle does not respond appropriately or consistently when pressing the accelerator. This is especially dangerous in situations requiring timely throttle response to avoid collisions. Combined with the existing factory safety recalls, this creates a serious and ongoing safety risk. A new vehicle should not fail to accelerate when entering or crossing traffic. I have already notified Honda in writing. I am requesting NHTSA to investigate this issue, as I believe this is a defect affecting the safe operation of the vehicle, particularly in situations requiring quick acceleration. This defect is significant enough that I no longer feel safe driving the vehicle.

Vehicle: 2017 Honda Pilot elite VIN: [xxx] mileage at failure: 107,593 the 9-speed automatic transmission failed at approximately 107,593 miles. The repair cost $6,229. 91 at an independent shop and included a full transaxle overhaul, replacement of the torque converter, transmission oil pump, and main control valve body. The vehicle previously had fuel injectors replaced under warranty at approximately 87,000 miles. I have opened a Honda goodwill reimbursement case (case #16225384). I am filing this complaint to document the premature failure of critical powertrain components and support review for Honda goodwill assistance. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I am submitting additional documentation related to NHTSA complaint #11723932 for my 2017 Honda Pilot. I have obtained a transmission inspection report confirming that the failure was caused by a defective torque converter, resulting in internal transmission damage including the valve body and transmission oil pump. The report also indicates that the failure was not related to maintenance and represents a defect in the component. This required a full transmission overhaul at approximately 107,593 miles. I am providing this update to ensure the complaint accurately reflects the cause of the failure. I have contacted Honda several times and they are not willingvto look into my case. I had to get my fuel injector replaced at 87,000 miles when it was under warranty then the transmission goes 20k miles later.

Noise underwood sounds like valve spring, dealer says high pressure fuel pump. Emissions system problem trouble code on dash. Rough start, vehicle sluggish sometimes, hesitates. Noise gets louder upon acceleration.

My car has always had slight issue getting consistent fuel pressure causing the engine to rev abnormally when giving gas during acceleration. On 11/25, my car failed to start due to the fuel pressure being too low. I brought my car into two mechanics including a Honda certified dealership to inspect an issue with my fuel pump. I was informed that other Honda Pilots of the same year as mine have a recall on their fuel pump, but my VIN was not included. Both mechanics indicated that this is the exact issue that the other Pilots under the recall have and they were not sure why mine was not included. It is pulling the same codes, too, when it went under diagnostic testing as issue with the lower fuel pump.

Fuel injector issue - diagnosed at mike's automotive, a napa autocare center by ase certified technician. Codes were p0430 and p219b which indicates fuel injector issue. The emmissions system problem check engine light goes on and off at random times, reduced fuel economy by almost 5 mpg, hard shifting, stalling. All symptoms are in line with the recall for 2019 Honda Pilots however my VIN is not included in the recall, but I believe it should be. Honda wants me to bring my vehicle to a Honda dealership to get diagnosed, diagnostic is my cost, though I've already paid for a diagnostic at a different repair shop.

SUV check engine light for the emissions system came on 11/21/2025. The light does not stay on all the time, it goes on and off ever several days. During my state inspection, dealer diagnosed issue to a p0430 code and ran a cylinder af test. It revealed that cylinders 2, 5 and 6 failed for rich conditions and stated the fuel injectors require replacement. Both the dealer and Honda corp. Stated there is no coverage for this issue. I did find that this issue was found with previous years for my model and make, however my year is not covered for the warrenty extension. Honda service bulletin 20 - 100.

My vehicle keeps pulling up a code intermittently to do with fuel injector issues. The mechanic tells me that it is a fuel injector issue needing replacement. There is a recall for my model of 2019 Pilots, but Honda is saying my VIN is not included in this recall. I find it highly unlikely that this is related due to my fuel injectors are messed up and the machine checking for my engine light issue is pulling the same codes and issues that are covered by the recall on other Pilots. It is very evident that my vehicle and other owners' Pilots are having the same fuel injector issues but are also being told their VIN is not covered under this recall. This seems to be a much bigger issue than they are admitting or including in the recall, and this should definitely be reconsidered due to the costly repairs this is for owners experiencing this same manufacture problem.

Recall has been open since December of that year I have documentation that I took it last year to get this recall fix and your web site is stating that it is incomplete. Today 11/12 at 7:30am my engine caught on fire there was a lot of witness at the elementary school waving me down that my car was on fire. I panic and got away from the elementary where a lot of kids and families where present and went where there was no one insight and rush and got my set of 2 year old twins and my 3 year old son out there car seats and ran from the car and called 911 the fire department came and put out the fire and I have a report from them as well. Now that I remember about this recall I remember it stating that if this recall wasn't fix that it can start a fire so I put two and two together and order my car fax report and seen that this was never completed. And have paper work that it was completed.

The fuel pump issue came up . I was in the middle of the intersection , and the car seized and broke down . The fuel pump light came on .

My car is very hesitant while driving, it pulsates as well. I can be driving at 65mph and next thing I’m doing 45-50 and the engine is sputtering and the dashboard lights up with check engine lights. I know there’s a recall on the fuel injectors for the model year I own but mine is not included in the recall which I think it should be. Scanned the codes and got p0430 and p219b which is the fuel injectors as well as raw fuel making its way back to the catalytic converter. I’ve read of thousands of Honda owners with the same issues of being left high and dry by Honda just because they refuse to include VIN numbers that should have been in the original recall. I really hope this recall can be expanded as my car has been babied with only 49k miles on it. Thank you.

Honda is awear of thousands of 9 speed transmission failures. But worst of all they tell you that you failed to change trans fluid as scheduled, but there is no schedule printed in their owner's manual, nor in their vehicle service maintenance manual. The service manual only speaks to the quality of fluid required, and that it not be mixed with other brands of trans fluids. It then goes on to say "have a dealer check the fluid level and replace if needed. " I have owned cars with sealed trans that required no maintenance, which is not the case with the Honda's 9speed trans. The Honda 9 speed is a sealed unit. I am currently face with an estimated bill of $10,600 to replace my failed trans. There is a reaccuring problem with the 9 speed, that Honda should pay for. I am requesting an investigation, and a reimburstment of my total cost. Thank you, cliff vaughan.

The auto shut off has been not working properly and the vehicle wont restart after it shuts off. My wife was at a traffic light, and the vehicle shut off. When the light turned green, it did not restart. As a result of this she about got taken out by a semi that was coming in behind her. This could have been a deadly accident as it is raining and wet. She was stuck at the light on a busy highway for 3 minutes before the vehicle would restart.
