While stopped at a freeway off ramp. the car automatically shut off the engine per the start/stop feature. when the light turned green the car did not restart and instead completely shut off and put itself into park. i had trouble restarting while traffic built up behind me. this is not the first time this has happened. it is a very dangerous and disconcerting problem.
On january 13th, i left my home to pick up my son, julian, 3 years old, at preschool. his preschool is approximately 3 miles from our home. i picked him up, and drove the same distance back to our house, arriving home around 4:45pm. i had no unusual warning notifications or any unusual experience driving to and from the preschool. i parked the car in our driveway. julian and i exited the vehicle, and walked to our front door. as we approached the front door i smelled smoke, and looked back at the car. i noticed a small flicker in the passenger side lower headlight. upon closer look, i realized this was in fact a flame. julian and i left our bags on the porch, stepped off of our front porch, and moved away from the house and car, and called 911. as we waited for the fire department, we watched this small flame grow to full flames, engulfing the engine, front hood, and front of the car. the police and fire department arrived, and put out the fire. the car was towed out of our driveway. a police report was filed with the montclair police ...
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda pilot. while operating the vehicle, the check engine indicator remained illuminated. the vehicle was taken to heather cannon honda (3415 n 14th st., ponca city, ok) where it was diagnosed that an emissions system upgrade was needed and five of the six fuel injectors were faulty and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. the failure mileage was 86,000.
Car brakes by itself, shakes the steering wheel and shuts off and loses power ranging in speeds from 20 -60mph. on double lane roads to interstates in the rain and sunny dry days.
Twice now my 2016 honda pilot elite with auto idling stop feature has stalled at intersection lights. while stopped at the red light the engine goes off and normally when i lift my foot off the brake it restarts and accelerates when i push the gas pedal. however, in these instances when i lifted my foot off the brake and went to accelerate, the engine completely stalled. a couple of warning lights came on, unfortunately i didn't read which ones because i was at busy intersections. the car would not start even after putting it into park. it took about 2 minutes before the engine would start. other drivers were trying to get around me, honking. the 2nd time, i was going to make a left turn and just had to wait until i could start it, watching in my rear view mirror hoping i wouldn't get rear-ended. i drive 75+ miles to work on a very busy and slow moving california freeway with lots of stop and go traffic. i am very concerned about our safety if this were to happen on a busy freeway where drivers don't realize i ...
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda pilot. after purchasing the vehicle from an unknown used car lot and traveling 65 mph, the vehicle stalled. also, the emissions and transmission failure indicators illuminated. the voice command instructed the contact to pull over as soon as possible as the vehicle completely shut off and lost braking and steering ability. the contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle; however, the emissions indicator was still illuminated. the vehicle was driven back to the used car lot, but they were not able to replicate the failure. the contact was advised to take the vehicle to the nearest dealer. the vehicle was taken to autonation honda spokane valley (8201 east sprague ave, spokane valley, wa 99212), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the vehicle was currently at the dealer. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 111,000.
Vehicle continues to completely shut down (engine completely turning off, all lights turning on in console, requiring vehicle to be placed in park and then ignition button pressed to restart engine.) when stopping at a redlight. continues to get worse and more frequent. took to dealer and they say nothing is wrong. please fix this! my families safety is top concern@
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.

2016 pilot does at red lights when it goes into hybrid/idle mode. car takes several minutes to restart.
Car turns off completely while driving, does not respond to attempts to restart right away
The honda pilot has a feature called auto engine idle stop. to meet emission standards, this feature puts the engine into a stop/off mode when you brake for more than 3 seconds. however, this feature sometimes causes the car battery to fail and the car to stall. this could happen when stopped at a traffic light or on a highway stopped in traffic. if the battery hasn't had enough time to recharge, the car might stall and need to be completely shutdown, wait a while and maybe will restart. we bought our car in late 2015. the issue presented itself by 2016/2017, mostly as brief blips and the car would restart. in summer 2018, after repeated visits to honda and numerous times of the car completely stalling at traffic lights, we chose to replace the battery. our honda service centers kept telling us that the battery tests showed it was fine and that the feature isn't suppose to engage if the battery doesn't have "enough juice" to restart. but clearly, that doesn't work, because my car would indeed completely stall and need to try to restart. i once had to wait five ...
Our honda pilot shuts down while being operated, typically while attempting to resume driving after having been stopped at intersections, making turns, red lights, etc. all electrical components become unresponsive, including starter, shift controller, hazard lights, etc. typically takes to 5 minutes to restart, leaving us stranded in traffic; an incredibly dangerous situation. this has occurred (5 times so far) with the "auto engine idle stop" engaged and is suspect. 1st attempt by dealer to diagnose & repair involved replacing the battery despite testing "good". shutdowns continued; the last occurred in a 5-lane highway with my wife and 3-year old child on board. 2nd attempt to diagnose & repair, took 4 weeks and a suggested repair of replacing the battery (previous battery less than a year old) and a new starter @ $1,600; even though the technician stated both were "good". conversations with the dealership/technicians acknowledge the suspected problem electrical/computer based but the on-board computer does not record these events. the dealership/technicians state they reported and researched this issue via their in-house tech site but we were told this issue is unknown and isolated to our car. our solution being a mutually acknowledge, unnecessary repair. i debated their ...
I bought this vehicle as a "certified pre owned by honda" and four days after the purchase the car was parked in my driveway, in "park" when i hit the start/stop engine button and the vehicle didn't start. alarms started to go off so i assumed it was the key was still inside the house. as i went inside to check, maybe a few seconds, when i went back outside the vehicle was gone. i found it in my front yard. it had rolled off while in park without engine on. after getting it towed to honda, days later i was informed that there was a problem with the start/stop engine system and that it also needed the entire a/c system replaced. attached you will find the photo i took of the vehicle still in park when i found it in my front yard.
