3rd time in 12 months that the check engine light begins flashing and the car begins to lose acceleration power and vibrates excessively. recent issue happened while driving off of the freeway and at a stop light. the previous 2 occurrences it is determined to be an engine misfire. the last time oil spotted in spark plug indicating that the piston ring is faulty.
My 2015 honda pilot ex-l hesitates to accelerate when turning. it mostly happen when turning right, when i turn and try to accelerate the gas pedal becomes non responsive. this is very unsafe. there's no acceleration while merging into traffic! i have taken the car to dealer in 3 occasion but they said they can't duplicate the issue. i wrote to honda america inc. but they said the same thing. they can't help me with this issue. i am very concern about these intermittent problem because i feel very unsafe driving my car!

Vehicle shudders (shakes) at speeds of 40-45 mph. had conversation with honda advisor (3/18) who said this was normal. not sure, but want to report it anyway because it shouldn't be normal. i'm still noticing this (2/2019). hopefully, vehicle will not stop dead in the middle of traffic.
While stopped at a red light, smoke started coming out from under the hood. i immediately pulled into a parking lot and turned the engine off. a bystander yelled at me to get out of the car. she saw fire coming out from underneath the engine. smoke continued to pour out and then the whole front of the car was engulfed in flames.
At about 55000 miles my pilot started jerking/hesitating at all speeds, any road, usually after shifting gears both up and down. now i bought it in february 2017 certified pre-owned so all recommended scheduled maintenance should have been performed. so, i took it in for diagnosis and the dealer in dublin oh said the transmission fluid needed to be triple flushed flushed 3 times!!! since i needed a vehicle to drive to work, i couldn't argue and got the service done. after reading of other languages with similar issues with the jerking/stutter/hesitation i decided to file this complaint. the results of the tranny flush were good however i can still feel a very faint almost unnoticeable hesitation that should be addressed.
2015 honda pilot. consumer writes in regards to engine stalls while driving. *smd the consumer stated the engine would generally stall while merging into traffic from a near stop. it seemed as though, the engine stopped for a few seconds and then re-started and surged forward. the problem was intermittent. the dealer informed the consumer, the issue was the computer controlling the variable valve timing and there was no current fix. *jb
Almost immediately after purchase, notice car shuddering and shaking at 35-50mph and then even higher speed limits. went to purchasing dealer service department and they told me this is a common problem associated with vcm system. took car for three subsequent repairs over next year to another honda dealer. even after downloading new pcm and vcm / torque management software update provided by honda, problem still exists. honda states that they will continue to work on this fix, but corporate now states that this defect is within acceptable operating standards. on some days the shuddering seems unsafe and could pose a risk, i suspect, to driver and passenger safety. have followed all lemon law guidance from state of georgia and honda continues to produce lies and false statements to cover up a problem which has even been written about by edmunds.com. corporate rep met me at dealership to evaluate problem. he acknowledge problems during a test drive; stated that some cars just don't make it off the assembly line perfect, and that my vehicle is one of those vehicles. honda corporate also states that the local dealership is in concurrence with their assessment, and i know for a fact that they are not based on discussions with them and with their service technicians who have worked on my vehicle. honda should be ashamed of how they are ignoring an operating problem with this vehicle; expanding acceptable tolerance limits in order to call this vehicle normal and safe.
