I bought a cpo 2016 honda pilot ex 3/23/2019. i have a transmission jerking issue and bring back to freeway honda, santa ana, in sep 2019. they flush the atf and the situation turns back days later. i bring it back in 1/29/2020 and ask for same transmission issue. but they show tire pressure check on the invoice. i really wondered they try to hide the defect and won't find out any problem in this vehicle by searching its vin number. the transmission problem is hard to shift when 3rd to 4th, 28-32 mph; hard to shift when downshift 3rd to 2nd in around 22 mph. now i am thinking to file the lemon law but they won't let me because they didn't tell the truth.
While under moderate acceleration at a range of speeds (10-40mph), there is a surging rpm and a shudder seemingly from the power train. problem seems to be more apparent with light to heavy loading an an incline. this problem is intermittent but seems to be getting worse. two dealerships have not wanted to attempt to fix problem if not covered by factory warranty in spite of a honda service bulletin 17-014 that describes my symptom accurately. there should be a mandated recall to fix the problem and the manufacturer should believe the customer after repeated descriptions of experiencing the know manufacturing problem.
Honda pilot 2016 jerks when accelerating that causes the transmission fluid to burn so it requires multiple transmission fluid flushes from the burnt oil. it is a safety concern when accelerating to pass other vehicles and something honda should be fixing so their cars don't keep overheating flequently and destroying the transmission.
My car is shifting harshly and dangerously while accelerating between 20-30 mph and decelerating. this is a very common problem in the 2016-2019 pilots and should be addressed by the manufacturer! 2016 honda pilot (52,000 miles)
When i am at a stoplight and the car goes into idle stop, it does not restart after i take my foot off of the break. i have to put it back in park and hold the start button down as it struggles to turn over. it is very dangerous because cars behind me expect me to be moving and i have been almost hit as a result. it used to work fine and restart as i took my foot off of the brake. i took it to the dealership and they couldn't replicate it. we tried replacing the battery. it did it that same day after i left the dealership.
The vehicle was having sporadic surges of acceleration while driving at speeds of 20 to 50 mph on city streets and while climbing gradual hills on the highway at 65 to 70 mph. brought it to the dealership and they performed a software update to the transmission and flushed the transmission fluid. notes from the dealership say it was caused by fluid deterioration.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda pilot. while driving 25 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. in addition, the vehicle jerked forward forcefully and made an abnormal noise. there was no warning indicator illuminated. the contact stated that the failure occurred three times within two miles. the vehicle was taken to howdy honda (located at 5519 e ben white blvd, austin, tx 78741, (512) 686-1544), but the failure could not be duplicated. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 50,000.
While stopped at a traffic light the car put itself into park without my (the driver) knowledge. when the light turned green i attempted to accelerate however the car was in park. i attempted to shift the car into drive and it would not do so. i had to turn the car off and then back on in order to place the car into drive and proceed through the intersection.
When going down a straigt hill going around 15mph my rpm's go up to 5 and 6. if i press the gas they go up higher. i usually have to pull over when this happens so it the rpm's stop climbing higher. this also happens somethimes when going on a backroad going around 20-25mph but the rpm's only go between 2-3. it seems like the gears are not shifting.
Jerking when accelerating (usually happens at speeds between 30mph and 50mph) or heading up a hill at low speeds on city streets and highways. it happens while driving straight and turning in curves. the tac will jump when this is occurring. i have been told there is an issue with the transmission in this model year (the transmission fluid deteriorates quicker than it's supposed to). i've only had this car for 18 months so now i'm worried about the transmission and what damage if any this issue has caused and if i will continue to have trouble with this car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda pilot. while driving approximately 40 mph or less, the vehicle jerked. when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the gear shifted into a different gear, especially on an incline. there was no warning indicator illuminated. the failure recurred several times. the contact called honda of concord at 704-774-4538 (located at 7650 bruton smith blvd, concord, nc 28027) and scheduled an appointment. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 54,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda pilot. while driving 50 mph, the vehicle jerked, shook, and failed to accelerate. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to economy honda superstore (6001 lee hwy, chattanooga, tn 37421, (423) 381-6429) where it was diagnosed that the transmission fluid was burning. the dealer updated the software and flushed the transmission fluid; however, the failure recurred. the manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 09868694. no further assistance was offered. the failure mileage was 97,000. the vin was invalid.
The transmission is jerky and clunky in lower gears. often when shifting from first and second gears the pilot jerks and misfires. happens sporadically, but consistently. started around 25 -30k miles and getting worse.
When i come to a stop, the auto stop feature turns the engine off, if i try to go at the same moment it turns off, the car stalls. it is very rare but has happened 2-4 times. the car starts again but it takes multiple attempts.
While stopped at a traffic light the car put itself into park without my (the driver) knowledge. when the light turned green i attempted to accelerate however the car was in park. i attempted to shift the car into drive and it would not do so. i had to turn the car off and then back on in order to place the car into drive and proceed through the intersection.
I was driving at 15 mph and my car jolted and stalled and several (5) warning lights came on. vehicle stability, brake, power steering, and a couple other lights. i turned the vehicle off and restarted the car. i tried to drive it a few miles and it would not shift properly and i couldn't drive it more than about 20 mph. i had it towed from home to the closest honda dealership. the vehicle had around 40k miles on it at the time. honda said it's a known issue with a bulletin - stating that the cam shaft assembly needed to be replaced along with a sensor. they told me the cam shaft assembly was under the power train warranty but i had to pay for the sensor. when i did a little research, i found that honda was giving extended warranties to newer models having the same issue and even doing recalls but my vin didn't qualify. a few months down the road and my car started having shifting problems again. so, i take it in and they are saying the transmission needs to be serviced but the service only gets a little bit of the fluid out so they wanted to do the service 3 times and charged me for doing the same thing 3 times. after some research, i find out that it's a known issue that they are willing to give a limited warranty on up 80k miles. my concern is that i don't feel safe driving on the highway with shifting issues, stalls and jolts that have happened within 4 months of each other. if i were on the highway when that happened, going at 60 mph, it would have caused unnecessary accidents. it's dangerous but, still no recall for my vehicle and it's like fighting tooth and toenail with honda to get them to do what is right. i don't know when or if it will happen again. i purchased my honda brand new. this vehicle needs to be off the roads until the issues are fixed. i think i have a lemon!
This has happened several times and honda has been unable to replicate. it has happened on the freeway and on city streets. the car is in drive and my car has an engine idle so that when traffic comes to a halt the engine cuts out to conserve gas. on many a occasion it will not just automatically start but will instead kick the vehicle into park. it is extremely scary as it will then not start as if the battery is dead but the battery if fine and has been replaced as honda thought that would resolve it. they also replaced all the fuel injectors and this also has not stopped the problem. i feel i am going to be killed in this car. i have case # 08783155 with honda and after having just spoke to them they advised me to film problem!! yes they expect me to get my phone out and film while my vehicle has come to a halt in moving traffic!

[2016 honda pilot exl awd with sensing, 28 k miles and 2.4 years since purchase] on friday aug/24/2018 while driving home (around 40mph) the vsa light came on and stayed on for barely 4-5 seconds and then turned off. did not notice any major issues then. on sunday 26/aug/2018 while driving at around 30-35 mph, the car suddenly lost power and came to a complete stop almost like the brakes had been applied (did not notice the orange brake sign or the collision warning beep sound). i was on the right lane with no one behind or ahead of me and no obstacles in front. turned on the hazard light and then noticed that the vsa light was on. car would not move and just kept revving when i tried to accelerate. put the car in park and then in drive, no change. pushed the vsa button to turn off vsa and both the vsa light and the vsa off light stayed on but the car would still not move. shut down the car and restarted it after which the lights went off, and the car started moving (although slowly). drove home with vsa turned off and at a speed of around 20-30 mph. the abrupt braking/stopping was particularly dangerous and would have caused a collision even in regular traffic on any other day. note: the key fob was low on battery and the only other warning i had on the console was one informing about the key fob battery being low.

9 speed transmission goes into neutral at highway speeds 2x. on both occasions, had to pull over to shoulder with no power. very dangerous. honda is replacing transmission with 48k miles on car. they are not extending the warranty on a known issue with this transmission.
I was traveling on a two lane highway at a speed of around 75mph. i needed to slow down so pulled my foot off accelerator and slowed by about 10mph. when i went to accelerate again i had no power and the car began to decelerate for the next 10-15 seconds. i had no power and had a car coming in close behind me and a big rig to my right. this was a dangerous situation. the car finally kicked into gear after several attempts to accelerate. after taking it to honda to be checked they said they could not "duplicate" this nor find anything in the log but honda has placed an extended warranty on the transmission. an extended warranty isn't going to save our lives if this situation occurs again. honda needs to address this issue.
While traveling on i-95 at about 75 mph, every warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. the car slowed down and changed into neutral. we were able to coast to the shoulder but the car in park. we did not turn the car off bc we wanted a/c as long as possible (occurred on june in ga, hot). the car would not go into gear so we had to have the car was towed to dealership. the following day at the dealership, they where able to get an error code to appear. after contacting american honda, the technician was told that honda is aware of the issue. he was told to clear the code and if the code reoccurred to replace the transmission but if not, they would not do anything. well, the code would not duplicate even after the dealership tried for multiple days. we drove back to ga for our 4 hour drive home and prayed it would make it back to home. luckily it did; however, the transmission slips in low gears and we are just waiting on it to happen again. by the way this is not the first time all of the warning light came on. it happened twice in town during the month of may. they did a service update and replaced all of the fuel injectors (out of pocket as it was not under warranty). it is really troublesome that honda knows about the issue and i personally had this happened three times & have a car with a transmission issue. the last occurrence was a huge safety hazard as we had our family & dog and stuck on the side of the road for over 2 hours in trying to get the car towed. please american honda fix this issue.
While driving all warning lights activated cycling through each of them. the vehicle lost almost all power causing a very unsafe and potentially fatal condition. several transmission and other codes were noted following the incident. honda tech line admitted that this condition was known to them very well but refuses to correct the problem unless it occurs repeatedly. online research shows this is a common problem but does not appear to have already been addressed by the ntsb.
My 2016 honda pilot with 32k on the odometer has major transmission issues. it jerks / slips on acceleration and downshifts when you come to a stop. i am bringing it in for service but from what i have read from other owners this seems to be a major problem with honda.
I was driving at 75mph on a heavily congested area of the interstate. vehicle was running normal, then the emissions light came on followed by 'transmission system problem' and i lost all ability to accelerate the vehicle, despite pressing the gas pedal to the floor. the transmission would not shift up or down and i narrowly missed being in a horrible accident as i fought to coast to the side of the highway. once in park, the vehicle sputtered and then revved at a rapid rate. i was afraid it would damage the motor so i shut it off. after searching the internet, apparently there is a well known transmission issue that honda refuses to acknowledge.
Vehicle goes into "limp mode" while traveling down the interstate. you cannot shift or accelerate. indicator flashes emissions system problem, transmission problem, awd problem along with multiple lights on the dash. the dealership as well as honda advises codes were cleared and contact them again if problems reoccurs. this is the second 2016 pilot elite we have owned with this problem!
Oil leaking underneath car. this shows up as a puddle in my garage - it's a slow leak. i think it's probably the same issue as what's happening with the other 2016 honda pilots and the seal on the oil container, but my specific car hasn't been flagged.

We have had multiple, ongoing problems with our 2016 honda pilot elite since early on in our ownership. when i try to go after coming to a stop, the car tries to stall and has stalled several times in the middle of the road. when it stalls, it has switched itself to neutral and for several minutes, it will not let me do anything to try to get the car going again such as change gears, start the car, etc. as i try to get it going, it will tell me that i need to start the engine to change the gear back to drive but will not do anything when i press the start button. further, there are several issues with the infotainment system: the back up camera goes black, the entire system reboots while driving, the audio screen freezes and audio ceases while driving, the entire screen goes black except the time line on top while driving, and the navigation screen blacks out while driving. despite providing video and photographic evidence of the issues, honda kept saying they couldn't replicate it and thus couldn't test it, but when i was able to bring it to them with the screen frozen, they said there were no tests they could run. they finally tried replacing the infotainment system, but the issues returned. these issues are on top of the fact that they replaced the dvd player because it was looping. we feel we have received a lemon and that these issues cause a hazard during what should be normal operation of our vehicle.
Engine stops won't restart multiple warning light flashing giving appearance of computer failure. second incident. first incident dealer said no problem after checking battery. second incident in traffic when failure occurred (5/25/17 approx 8 a.m) blocking intersection. fortunately we were slowing to stop at light. video of dash available too large to upload.
