Check emissions systems light came on while driving. It would go off when weather was warm but come back on when cold outside. Washington Honda of PA indicated there was a bulletin for problem. I buy only Honda and was surprised when Service tech indicated injectors needed to be replaced. Car only had 41,000 miles on it, hardly driven only long trips. Washington Honda fixed issue without cost but my concern is this could be repeated with my 20 Ridgeline and an 17 Honda Accord Touring. I would think as a repeated Honda buyer that Honda would clean this up. I bet Toyota does not have this problem in their family of vehicles. Really disappointed in Honda.

2017 Honda Pilot EX-L - original owner. I noticed it running rough at various times, for example, going up a hill in a steady pace. It would seem to "misfire". Almost rocking back and forth as you're traveling 55 mph. At other times the accelerator seemed unresponsive or slow to react to pressing the gas pedal a little more. Then the "EMISSION SYSTEMS PROBLEM" light finally came on.

Update from Aug 11, 2021: Taking to Autozone to get the codes.

Update from Aug 12, 2021: Code P0455 - evap system large leak.

This year (Summer 2020) on June 12th - my family and I embarked in our 2017 Honda Pilot (which at the time has about 56k miles on it and on its first set of replacement tires; after the factory set) on a 4500 mile (or so) family vacation.

Roughly, halfway between Alamogordo, New Mexico (White Sands) and Santa Fe the check engine light came on.

I contacted the Honda dealer in Santa Fe. I explained we were headed to Santa Fe and the engine light had just come one. They were able to 'squeeze' us in for an appointment the next morning (Friday).

I dropped my vehicle off for repair at 07:00 Friday and it was ready by 17:00 the same day.

To the staff at Honda of Santa Fe I am grateful you were able to resolve our Honda vehicles' malady and return us on our family journey!

Honda of Santa Fe folks were great! Everything from the shuttle service to the communications and repair - the friendly customer service was excellent.

I called Honda of America as my vehicle had 68.5k miles at the time of repair. It was certainly under seven years old.

2017 Honda Pilot Elite. My vehicle and myself are in Washington. The vehicle has always been registered in Washington State.

A guy called me back. He informed me that because the vehicle was repaired in New Mexico - the warranty did not apply. I was flabbergasted. What? He reiterated; the vehicle was repaired in New Mexico, so the warranty did not apply to my vehicle. I could not believe this. I asked him if he would send me this statement in writing to which he said, "No".

Bummer for me. Glad we didn't get stuck broke-down on the highway - in unfamiliar territory.

Just starting to put the pieces together of what might be the problem. At about 22,000 miles the emissions system light turns on, take it to a Honda dealership and at the time, they did not know what the problem was. I was forced to do a fuel system cleanup, costing me $167 in November 2020. Mid January of 2020 at 23,000 miles the emissions system light turned out again. Decide to take it to a different Honda dealer because I didn't like how I was talked to at the other place. They tell me a code popped up showing the fuel injector was bad, I got it replaced for $1,150 of which i had to pay our of pocket, they told me it was not covered under power train warranty.

This is a common problem. I've been reading that replacing the fuel injector is just a temporary fix and that people have went on to replace this 20-30,000 miles about 2 or 3 x. This is costly! After reading complaint after complaint, forum after forum, I am reading that it could possibly be due to the VCM technology using 3 cylinders and not the 6 like it should which is causing all of this which will lead to engine/transmission damage early on.

I am very disappointed having spent $40,000 on a new Honda vehicle that had a reputation of being reliable. I noticed after having my car for 1 year that it was leaking oil and I mentioned it to the dealership, but I got no answers from them. I also mentioned to them and asked why my car was burning so much oil so quickly. I always had them use full synthetic oil on my car and I would have it changed out like regular oil every 3,000 or 3 months. I'm sure the dealership did not report it on their end, of course, and they did not have answers for me either. I am so mad. I either have to find a way to disable the VCM or trade my car in. I will be losing out on so much money. This sucks!!!

Everyone in our neighborhood is buying a new Pilot so we thought why not? The new look is less boxy and similar to an Acura MDX. The inside is great. Less expensive than a luxury and great for little ones.

The problem is: at only 23,000 miles the check emissions light keeps coming on and the dealer does not know why. Multiple trips to the dealership (how annoying) where they simply turned off the warning and sent me away. Then, they finally said the software needed to be updated. But no, this didn't fix it, now they have to replace the fuel injectors at only 23,000 miles.

Beware Pilot owners I would call and see if you need this software update and/or your fuel injectors replaced before you are out of warranty. I am scared for what is next!
