Wife in Hospital serious illness. When would drive to see her Engine light kept coming on. Had no recall notice ever. Had to pay a private mechanic Honda Certified $1800.00 to fix this problem. Had to rent car. Terrible situation. Wish we had received the recall notification. Check Engine light has come and gone since we bought the 2013 brand new. Took in and it was only reset. No engine work or anything else at local Honda Dealer.

Looking at hiring an attorney for Lemon Law and new vehicle replacement by Honda. Have always bought Honda's Accord's, Pilots and no problem or with the seat belt, air bag issue did receive a notification and dealer replaced and fixed it. Lemon Law may be too late. This is not right for not to receive this notification by Honda.

2nd time check engine light has come on in 2 weeks. Mechanic replaced spark plugs for free as he was not sure why previous injector replacement did not work...reverified install.

Pilot Touring 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 22,000 miles

This has happened 4 times. On July 8th it happened very often. After restarting the car it went away. But the car was about to stop in the middle of the highway stuttering. We have taken it to the dealership twice and both times they said there is no code set. I am very concerned that the car is going to stop in the middle of the highway and cause a life threatening event. Honda needs to come clean on this.

On my way to the Honda dealership for a scheduled appointment, my check engine light came on and started flashing. I was only 3 exits down the freeway, so i just drove very slow to the dealership because every time i gave it gas it would misfire again and did not have hardly any power. Without turning my 2013 Pilot off I explaned what had happed to the service adviser. He saw that the check engine was on and blinking so he went to get the tool to read the code which came back as cyliner 4 misfire. When the service guy started it again a few hours later to work on it the light had gone off and it was running properly. They installed Snap Shot at this time and asked me to drive it until it happened again.

I was on my way to work at 7am when my engine started misfiring. the check engine light came on and began blinking. not knowing what was going on I pulled over right away and turned my 2013 Pilot off. I checked under the car and there was nothing on the ground. I then opened the hood to see if anything was leaking which there was not. I turned it on and drove straight to the dealership. When the dealership pulled the codes it was only a soft code that said that Cylinders 3, 4, and 5 had misfired. They cleared the codes and said to continue to drive it.
