Wife took car to dealer when she noticed the check engine light and the Vsa light were on. They had the car for 21 days. They had to send the engine head to be evaluated. (Apparently they were having trouble identifying the problem). wording on our final statement……#2 cylinder piston rings aligned causing oil to enter combustion chamber and foul spark plug and mis-fire. replaced #2 cylinder piston rings. Spark plug and replaced valve stem seals. cleared dtc's and updated pgm-fi software. Just got the car back yesterday. Hopefully, all is well. We have been loyal Honda customers for years..very disappointed with the time it took and the situation. This car goes back and forth to Vegas and sure don't want something going wrong out in the middle of the desert.

Suddenly my new one year old 2015 Pilot started showing check engine light. Driving on freeway & suddenly felt like I'm on cruse control because gas paddle was not accelerating the car. Then tried hard & car started moving little fast. After exit, stopped on red light. It was shaking like hell. I thought, is it an earthquake in Fl? But my car was only shaking. Turned off A/C. No change. On green light pushed gas paddle hard, but not moving at all. Then released paddle & it started scrolling. Somehow managed to reached home with lots of shaking & weird noise. Today called a dealer & they asked to tow it to them. Will post update after dealer visit.

Update from May 3, 2016: Okay, after I visited dealer, they said there seems to be an issue with some part ( I don't exactly remember the part name now). They kept my car for 2 days & issue was fixed. Since my car was under warranty I didn't have to pay anything. No issue now.

Check engine light turns on, front end starts to shake, ticking sound to go along with it!! I take it to the dealer 4 TIMES and as you all guessed they can't find the issue because the machine is not throwing them a code. I take video of the issue 3 times and show them, but they say unless it does it for us while we have it there is nothing more we can really do!! they stayed with my truck which i drove off lot with only 8miles for days at a time and NOTHING FIXED every time!!

The last time it happened I refused to turn off the truck, and demanded a tech get in the truck while it was running and the check engine light was still on. Tech gets in and FINALLY gets to see, hear, and feel every thing I have been saying that has been going on for weeks!! they keep and for days and finally they say the THINK its the coil which wasn't replaced because it wasn't damaged, however and I quote "we took coil 1 and coil 2 and just switched them around, and I mean we have driven it and all and it seems to be working fine" So i asked switching the coils from one spot to the other is the fix..they said yes because the coils are not damaged they were just loose, and the manufacturer might have just put them on loose! well we will see if the problem is REALLY fixed!

if there diagnostic machine didn't tell them that the coils were damaged I mean it must not be damaged RIGHT??? I pray this issue is over!! I drove a Nissan for years and finally just 3 months ago decided to switch over to Honda, Well Honda so far NOT SO GOOD!!! UNHAPPY CUSTOMER IN CT

Car began making loud rumbling noise while stopped at stop sign then check engine light started flashing. Strong vibration also felt while sitting in car. Called Honda dealer and they told me to pull over and have it towed to them. This is second time light has come on like this with same sounds. The first time the dealer said car didn't even record that the light had come on. No codes came up when running diagnostic. That was two months ago and it did same thing again today. Everyone else I know that has pilot has no problems or noises. Car is at dealer now so I will update when I hear back from them.

Our $42k 2015 Pilot has 4600 miles on it and the check engine light it on. Halfway through my 45 mile commute, the light came on and the car felt sluggish and a little shaky. Thankfully I took this SUV today, instead of my 2013 Toyota 4Runner. Had my wife been driving with my daughter in the car, I would have flipped out. To have a car lose power on the interstate can be deadly.

I stopped by work before taking the car in, just to check in. When I re-started the car, the check engine light was on, but now so was the traction control light and VTM light. I dropped the car off at the Honda dealer near work and was told that it is rare that a new Honda has this happen. That makes me feel worse, as I may have bought a lemon. If this happens again, I'm going to push for a new SUV.

Update from Aug 27, 2015: Dealer said that one of my fuel injectors went bad. They were surprised that one went bad so quickly, which makes me worry that perhaps I got a bad batch of injectors. These are only covered by the 3yr/36k bumper to bumper I believe. They didn't have the part in stock and had my car for 3 days, although they gave me an Enteprise rental car.

So far the Pilot is fine now. That said, I'm going to constantly worry about it happening to another injector, perhaps with my daughter in the car. This is my first Honda after buying only Toyota SUVs (2 - 4Runners, Sequoia, and Highlander), which NEVER had anything wrong with them. I may trade this Pilot in, give my wife my 4Runner and treat myself to a Landcruiser.

My 3 week old 2015 Honda Pilot started to making pinging noises around 1:30 pm on 4/29/2015. I was at a stop sign at 5:40 pm when the entire car shook. I thought I was a car next to me blaring their music. I accelerated to leave the stop sign and the car shook even harder and the check engine light came on. The car was crawling even though I was pushing on the accelerator as much as I could to get the car home .5 miles away.

I called the dealership and Honda Roadside towed it to them. The next day the service guy calls and said the car is fine and he didn't find anything wrong.

I pick the car up at 2:00 pm with my 5 year old daughter in the car. It does the exact same thing after leaving the dealership! I'm on the freeway and my car is shaking uncontrollably, the check engine light is flashing, the car is slowing down and barely accelerating! ON THE FREEWAY!!!!

I called the service guy back as I'm trying not to get killed! I can't turn around. It's not a safe area and my oldest is due out of school at 3.

I get home and Honda Roadside tows it again to the dealership. The tow truck guy see the light and says it was very difficult to drive my car up his flatbed. He did inform the service guy of what he witnessed. Today, Friday, they don't call me to give me an update. My husband leaves work early to go up there. They CANNOT find a problem. My husband road with them and also doesn't see a problem.

I want a new car. I am too scared to drive the one I have. This is what I transport my most precious treasures. I was in complete fear of our lives on that freeway. I put my hazard lights on and stayed next to the emergency lane. I do NOT want to go through that again.

I traded in my 2012 Honda Pilot for this one. I had ZERO issues with that one.

Anyone else with this issue?
