The engine shut off when I when I went from a stopped position and attempted to accelerate. All power was lost to the vehicle, the engine died, the dashboard lost power and the radio turned off. The auto-stop feature also causes the engine to briefly cut out and the check engine light to illuminate on the dashboard. I replaced the year old battery, but the car still does this with a brand new battery.

My 2017 Honda Pilot in 4/2023 I was driving the belt way my hood was bouncing as if it was going to fly off an kill us all and who was behind us in rush hour traffic. I called made appointment with dealer. My son went on line there was a recall for 2017 Pilot for hood problem, but not my Vin # I was very very upset. I was told it was fixed when I was there last. I told the dealer if they didn't fix it put it in writing. So my family will know what happen to us if that hood came off. Now my Pilot has been jerking sputtering when I take off it's been going on about a year. I keep putting it off until. I was almost hit in the back trying to get on the beltway, everyone screaming. So I check the recall list Guess what there is a recall on the 2017 Pilot but not with my VIN #. Sometimes, my auto start won't work. My dash radio will go black for a minute, so that's and electrical issue. We are going to have a problem if my grandchild can't watch here movies on the monitor when we go for a ride. Why is my Pilot having the recall issues and not on the recall list? I looked up recall for 2017 Honda Pilot there is one for Fuel Pump please add my Pilot to the recall list please. I love Honda's my whole family does, I hate to have to change.

Rod bearings failed causing metal fragments to enter causing engine failure. Inspected by local Honda dealership. They recommended that we place a claim with Honda Corporate. Claim was denied. We ended up paying to replace the engine out of pocket.

The vehicle has stalled and had poor acceleration since we purchased it in 2018. The fuel injectors were replaced within the first two years, but continued to have the same problem with stalling and poor acceleration. Additionally, the catalytic converter starting giving error codes. Honda finally attributed the problems to faulty fuel injectors and fuel pump. The fuel injectors have been replaced for the second time and after waiting over a year for a fuel pump, parts have finally become available, and it is scheduled to be replaced next week. In the meantime, the catalytic converter has had to be replaced. I have heard that others have had similar issues with catalytic converters going bad earlier than they should and have had mechanics say that these fuel injector/fuel pump problems could be causing the issue, or possibly that the catalytic converters are faulty.

Emissions system error repeatedly produced leading to ultimate engine failure. The initial error was fixed by a mechanic. Within 6 months the light was back on accompanied by a loud knocking in the engine. The check engine light indicated a misfire on cylinder one, the ignition coil was replaced, and the problem persisted. The vehicle was taken to the mechanic where they determined the lower part of the engine was failing and that it would need complete replacement. Vehicle is still in my possession as I'm not sure what to do with it. The vehicle has 135k miles on it.

- Westmoreland, KS, USA

My car started sputtering and lost power on the interstate and the dash lit up with warnings while driving. I brought the vehicle home and the code is for a bad camshaft position sensor after only 78,000 miles. That is absurd. The neglect for safety here is astonishing by Honda.

The cars RPM continuously os ul and down while driving causing the car the continously jerk while driving. Which has been to the shop two times for the same issue. The car hesitates a lot when pressing the gas as if it's lost power.

Late 2023 our Honda Pilot Touring had all lights and dash display systems come on while driving in town. The vehicle became extremely jerky and wouldn-??t drive more than 15mph. Major engine vibration and systems failures. Had this happened while on the freeway it could have been a catastrophic accident. There were no symptoms prior to this issue happending. We towed the vehicle to Honda and they told us the cam shaft had worn out and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had just over 100k miles. Cam shaft and the cover were replaced as Honda admitted to poor tolerances in the manufacturing and this being a know issue. They never recalled only made the issue a service notice to dealerships. Well, about a year later and our Honda Pilot experiences the same issue. We have it towed to Honda and they say the engine is a complete loss. Needs a cam shaft again. Has a crack in the engine block. Has a fluid leak into the engine from the rods and piston area. Total loss and they want 15K to replace. We reach out to Honda of America for assistance in July of 24 and it took them over 3 months to respond and offer ZERO assistance or help. This issue is a known problem and we believe our engine is in the situation it is due to poor manufacturing and the previous issue with the poorly machined camshaft. It-??s become clear that Honda doesn-??t intend to build engines that last long and they no longer intend on supporting their customers who spend hard earned money expecting support.

I purchased my 2017 Pilot new from Honda. Around 10,000 miles a code appeared and said Emissions problem and a picture of my engine. I immediately called Honda and took in to service dept. They said my fuel injectors need to be replaced and gave me an extended 150,000 warranty on injectors. Everything ok for awhile-??until I hit around 60,000 to 80,000. The emissions engine light came on suddenly then after a few drives/ turning off then on engine it went away. I talked to Honda about this concern they said if light not staying on could be nothing more than a misfire or need to do a tune up. I did the required tuneup -??. Emissions engine light still appearing off and on. Now the emissions engine light hardly goes off and has been doing this since around 117,000 miles and I just recently having issues with key faub auto start working since this engine light on -?? it now won-??t work. I took to Honda again recently and they wanted to do the diagnostic test to see for sure the codes. Honda still can-??t determine what the issue is-?? Honda says my injectors, catalytic converter passed the tests. Honda at a loss and so am I. I-??m afraid my engine could fail me while driving with my family.., and I take my car to the place that should be able to fix and they don-??t even know what-??s causing the engine problems.

Engine fails to restart after the engine idle stop shuts off the engine when stopped. It is difficult to restart the engine from this state and creates a safety hazard with the car being disabled for a period of time. It does not happen every time. The battery in this vehicle was replaced 18 months ago and the vehicle has no trouble starting normally.

with approx 65,000 miles the engine died. While driving on the freeway the engine all of a sudden was making a sound sound then the vehicle stalled. It was towed off the freeway. Honda determined that the engine was destroyed because somehow oil was prevented from getting to the engine. There was oil in the vehicle. The oil level was good but the engine had no oil. Although the 2016, 2018 and 2019 Honda Pilot engines were recalled but not 2017. They told us that they could not really determine why there wasn't any oil in the engine. We had to replace the engine. The original quote was $18,000. After reviewing our service records and speaking to upper management the offered to replace it for $4,062. (we assume they made the offer because the problem was similar to the recalled engine problems). We accepted the offer even we believe that it was a defect related to the other engine recalls but knew that it would cost more in attorney fees to fight it.

Rod Bearings failed on the vehicle. No indication that were going bad. we were driving on the interstate and all of a sudden heard major "clunking" and safety system lights on the dash flashing. The vehicle was towed to a private auto shop and inspected to find it was the rod bearings. there are recalls on the same motor for model years 2016, 2018, and 2019. The vehicle is available for inspection.

My car for a long time has had the errors/emissions engine light on and when Honda has performed the diagnostic testing they say it could be the oxygen sensor or catalytic converter or fuel injectors or many other things...I've replaced the oxygen sensor recently and the light still on and doesn't go off. I think my car issue needs to be investigated and a recall performed. I see other recalls for my year and make of vehicle but when I enter my VIN its not saying no recall at this time. I feel like Honda doesn't know what is wrong with my car and of course at this point my car's is not under warranty and the fuel injectors they had replaced when I had around 10,000 or 20,000 miles on my car that also is now not covered on any warranty. Please help, all I want is my car to not have this light on every time I drive it. Thank you for looking into this for me.

2017 honda pilot brought the car to the dealer ship because I heard the engine nocking but there was no code for the engine at the moment. They told me it was the torque converter. And they told me that nocking noise was my timing belt. Fixed the torque converter and on my way home from the dealership car brakes down on the side of the highway-?? engine replacement at 154,000 miles, was well taken care of. Dealership told me cylinder 2 rod bearing failed. Replaced the engine with a 60,000 mile engine. And this just sucks because I had to pay outa pocket for this engine replacement. It was very expensive to replace this engine. It wasn-??t easy at at the dealership trying to pick your first car to make payments on. And everyone telling you to get a honda because it-??s reliable. And your engine blows less then 6 months of having the car as a Teenager. At the moment I only have a paper copy of everything tomorrow morning 12/07/2024 I will call the dealership to get a pdf form copy because I know the pictures might be blurry on you guys end. Feel free to email me anytime and I will provide the pdf copy. Not sure how the system works after I submit this
