Two times my 2017 Honda Pilot with only 2600 miles on it has lost engine power at speeds of 45 plus miles per hour. The service engine now light flashes along with all other system warnings including emission warnings, vehicle stability warnings, and engine power failure warnings. I have read at least 30 other complaints on the internet about this happening. It is extremely dangerous if there is no shoulder and tractor trailers behind you like happened to me. I was five miles from a safe exit on an uphill incline. This is a very bad accident waiting to happen. Car also feels like it is misfiring often leading up to these events over three days. Vehicle is at dealer a second time, but I am very concerned about what I will be told. The first time I was told nothing is wrong. From what I have researched Honda is aware of this problem as early as February 2016 and is still not acknowledging it.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Pilot. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. Also, the transmission warning indicator illuminated and a message to "stop driving transmission problem" displayed. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home and was able to restart; however, a message displaying "emission system problem" appeared. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was waiting to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 6,200. The VIN was not available.
