With less than 40k miles, the vehicle received a message about an engine problem. took to dealer and was advised that it would require new fuel injectors, at a cost of approximately $1300. i have had other honda vehicles that have gone 100k miles and more without such problem. this is unacceptable. it should be covered on such a low mileage vehicle reqardless of vehicle age.
The fuel injectors have to be replaced every 30 to 40k miles in this vehicle. honda is aware of the issue and has no fix other than to reinstall the same bad injectors so the problem has happened 2 times on my vehicle
After fueling, no topping off, drips or leaks, very strong gas odor in interior. so strong couldn't drive. had to leave it sit with open windows. strong fuel smell continued throughout day, continued milder smell, but very noticeable next day. went to dealer, they found no problems. keeping it overnight. after research honda knows about problem but has no current fix or offers of buyback.
Fragments from the manufacturing process of fuel injectors are clogging the fuel system and cause failure for a properly running engine. accelerating especially is worrisome as the engine is misfiring. american honda motor company is aware and has a tsb for this. we are not driving is at this time because honda dealership says it is not safe to drive.
The 2016 honda pilot featured redesigned fuel injectors that are under intense psi. after approx. 3 years, they all need to be replaced. most fuel injectors are designed to last the life of a car. moreover, it's is statistically extrememly improbable that every fuel injector would go bad at the same time. apparently, the fuel injectors are putting off tiny pieces of metal that are building up inside and rendering them useless. if untreated, this could cause the car to break down and become a hazard if driving at that time. honda even recognizes the defect in that they have put out an internal service memo directing their service departments to replace all the injectors when they see this issue come in. that said, they have not issued a voluntary recall or extended warranty instead opting to let customers feel the burden of replacing all of their injectors at a cost of $1500 every three years. there have been approx. 407,666 honda pilots sold since 2016 and all of them are subject to this problem. a quick glance online shows hundreds if not thousands of complaints regarding this.
Check engine light appeared. dealer inspected and determined fuel injector damage. honda service bulletin states "debris from the high pressure pump or the fuel injector machining process can cause internal wear or clogging inside the injector". honda does not consider this to be manufacturer defect despite fuel injectors not designed to wear out at 62k miles.
We have been having issues with our pilot since november. i went to start it one day and a lot of lights on the dash turned on. it has been determined by honda that the issue is fuel injectors, it sounds like this is a well known issue with this year pilot, we have been in contact with many others who have told us this. the lights come on when the vehicle is first started and stay on through all driving. we have checked the codes that pop up and it switches the misfire code from one cylinder to another, and also shows multiple misfires.
Emissions system problem light appears. many other warning lights come on as well. then the engine light starts to blink. the car starts to shake and sputtered and will not accelerate. the car manual states to immediately pull over and let engine sit for 10 minutes, then drive immediately to dealer. this has happened when pulling our boat and we were unable to pull over safely. this poses a risk of fire. it has also occurred when i am not in a safe neighborhood to pull over. the first few times, the dealer was not open when it was occurring. now the dealer has inspected it. they retrieved misfire dtc's and p219a code. found fuel injectors are cause of dtc. honda issued a honda servie bulletin for this issue tsb a18-025. they also redesigned the fuel injectors and are no longer using the old ones. many vehicles are effected by this issue. they want $1500 for repair.
On 8/29/2019 i received an error code that appeared on the center dash display unit of my 2016 honda pilot. the error code said "emissions system problem". i took my car to the honda dealership where i purchased the vehicle from, as a certified used car, and they were able to obtain an error code from the vehicle. the error code was "p219a/b - for fuel injectors. the service advisor informed me that this indicated that the fuel injectors were faulty and they were out of warranty (3 yrs or 36,000 miles)and i would be needing to replace all 6 fuel injectors. it was stated that the fuel injectors for this make and model come as a set of 6 and you can not purchase them as individual injectors. honda part number 16010-rlv-315 appears to confirm this. my vehicle only has 34671 miles at this date and it is hard to believe that fuel injectors can be bad with this mileage. a search of the honda pilot owners website shows that numerous other 2016 pilot owners are having the same problem with roughly the same mileage. i believe this is a faulty product and i should not have to sustain repair or replacement expense. with this being a fuel system component, i wonder what would happen if one or more injectors were to fail completely at highway speeds and in a severe traffic situation?
My car is at 37,000 miles (of course just over the 36,000 mile warranty) and now has fuel injector failure. car is hesitating and sputtering during acceleration on any road. the failure in our fuel injectors has caused transmission fluid to become dirty and is making the car drive stutter and hesitate during acceleration and deceleration. we have been told we need to replace fuel injectors and replace transition fluid. vehicle is less than 3 years old.
Check engine light, awd system light both sporadically on and sluggish accelaeration - disc iwth mechanic, after inspection and research - fuel injector assembly needing replacment less than 3 years ownership, according ot mechanic, honda delaerships know about this problem and are selling a lot of fuel injector system and an additional required part
The engine idle stop feature not working properly. when the vehicle is at a stop the engine turns off like intended. sometimes the radio turns off and restarts immediately. randomly when you take you foot off the gas the entire vehicle and all functions turn off. in order to turn the vehicle you need to press the ignition button and set the vehicle in park. this is very dangerous in stop and go traffic. the most recent time it happened was on the freeway at a crest. took it to dealer and they could not replicate.
2016 honda pilot sudden rough acceleration while pulling up to the driveway. this happened after accelerator was released before the approach. fortunately the brakes were applied on time before crashing into the property.
Fuel in hectors need replacing after 51000 miles. code states that fuel injector was installed improperly at the factory. the emissions control light came on which prompted the inspection.
The fuel injectors failed at 41,000 miles and the car was 2 and half years old. engine light came on with no outward conditions of a problem. honda service technician couldn't clear engine light. he claimed it was the fuel injectors and they replaced at 1200 hundred dollars. i believe this to be safety issue. i have heard other honda owners with the 2016 pilot are having the same issue. honda has been totally unresponsive to my concerns. this was while in motion on a city street under normal conditions.
Warning light: emission systems problem i purchased the car at around 56,000 miles from a non-honda dealership. this light first appeared around 58,000 miles when i turned the car on in my driveway to go to work. i called my local mechanic (i.e not a honda dealership) to ask to bring it in for diagnosis, but by the time i brought it in about 3 days later, the light had gone off. my mechanic read the diagnostic code p0430. per tsb #17-036, this code meant i needed to update pcm software, and he told me to talk it to a honda dealership. from this point until i took it to the honda dealership, the warning continued to go on and off for days at a time. i went to the dealership on 6/8/19 and the car was at 59,184 miles. i told the service advisor what i had done so far. after diagnosis, he informed me that the pcm software had already been updated by the previous owner, and that they found code p0430 b2 cat fault, indicating the need for a new catalytic converter. this fell under the emissions warranty and it was replaced a not cost to me. shortly thereafter, the warning light pattern occurred again, coming on and off sporadically. i waited a while before taking it back to the dealership, but took it there on 9/21/19 with 64,788 miles. this time, the diagnosis was codes p0430 and p219b, which is explained is tsb #18-025, and i was informed i would need new fuel injectors, which would not be covered under any remaining warranty.
There is a gasoline smell inside the car and outside i dont see any leaking but the smell is making me worry
Cabin fills-up with gasoline fumes when at rest/ide/not moving. fumes come from air vents and only happens when pulling air from outside. no gasoline smell occurs when air system is in re-circulation mode. gasoline smell goes away when car is in motion. i took it to the honda dealership in bozeman, mt and they stated they cannot find anything wrong and the computer does not find anything wrong. technicians say they can't smell the fumes but every passenger that rides in my car can eventually smell the gasoline fumes. i think the technicians can't smell it since they are desensitized from being exposed to gas fumes routinely, so not their fault. gasoline smell can also be detected when in the garage (car not running) and no other source of gasoline is in the garage (garage doors were left open for 15 minutes to evacuate any fumes from when car was on prior to gas smell). this started to occur approx. november 2018. i searched online and found a forum of others having the same problem. some state that technicians eventually found liquid gas in the evaporation canister. forum here: https://www.piloteers.org/forums/114-2016-third-generation-pilot/99809-gas-smell-cabin.html i will keep taking my pilot back to dealerships until the problem is fixed and will suggest checking the evap. canister. this is a very unsafe problem to be occurring with honda not taking the problem seriously. this is not the fault of the dealership technicians but with honda itself.
When i'm driving highway or local car buck between 1000rpm and 2000 on over drive and regular
At just over 70k miles, i get the dreaded "emissions system problem" when i start my car the other morning. i immediately take it to a honda dealership for diagnosis and i am told i will need all 6 fuel injectors replaced. interestingly enough, honda's tsb 018-25 indicates the probable cause of this fuel injector issue as an issue that occurred during the manufacturing process, yet they have not been fully transparent about the issue, nor have they issued a recall. my vehicle is also returning the exact error code as indicated in the bulletin (p0301). the bulletin i am referring to (version 2) was released in april 2018. had honda been transparent and notified customers of this issue during this time frame, it seems as though many customers would have had the opportunity to have the injectors replaced, for free, during their 3 year/36k warranty. well, now many of the pilot owners are beyond this point and figuring the issue out the hard way and potentially having to foot a $1500-$2000 bill. deceptive and deceitful behavior like this should not be tolerated. i have owned five honda automobile/motorcycle products in my lifetime and this is the first issue i have ever encountered. the 2016 pilot has severe quality issues. this is also a safety issue and should be a warranty repair without a doubt.
Takata recall my honda pilot only 83000 miles. transmission problem and emmission problem both lights came on at the same time. i was driving to work when i felt the car not wanting to accelerate, i immediately turned into a lot and i am waiting here ever since because the car isn't moving forward.
During start up and while driving the transmission light come on, took to dealership for repairs and informed the fuel injectors needed replaced. found a service bulletin stating that honda has found fuel injectors were installed incorrectly during manufacturing.
On saturday november, 24, at approximate 9:45 am i was driving uphill and noticed my engine was making an odd sound. it made it when i accelerated, but stopped as soon as i took my foot off the gas. as i got to the top of the hill, there was no more sound. about 1 minute later i pulled into a shopping center, the car was on a slight upward angle, and i was going to turn into a parking spot, when all of a sudden my car accelerated on its own valition. i was approximately 2-3 feet away from a parked car, and my car felt like it was going full speed towards this car. at the time, i believe my foot was on the brake, which made it even more shocking why the car was propelling forward. i quickly stomped on the brake again and the car came to a stop. it hit the parked car with two occupants.
As you accelerate, the car goes in and out of getting fuel to the engine. the rpm’s drop and increase at least 1,000 rpms each second. vehicle is in motion. happens both on city streets, but more so on the open highway, especially if small texas hills are involved. took car to honda dealership. they cleaned the fuel lines, and reset the computer. this has helped.
My 2016 honda pilot does not function properly. the "emissions" check engine light has come on three different times, all with less than 40,000 miles on the vehicle. the honda dealer claims that they fixed the problem each time; but that's not the case. the light continues to come on in during normal driving conditions.
The vehicle starts to stutter while driving down the street. in addition, while driving the rpm gauge fluctuates going down the highway while maintaining speed. brought vehicle in to honda dealership they diagnosed the problem as fuel injector failed and it wasn't the first time of them hearing about this problem. many instances seen all over the internet about the same issue.
2016 honda had recall for fuel tank leakage. my vin out of that range but i notice recently my honda pilot 2016 have leakage too. when fueling i saw underneath car there's fuel dropping. honda said my car not in the range. so i want to claim report there is more car out there exposed safety and environmental hazard situation.
i had pulled out of a parking place and was waiting in the traffic lane to exit the area. there were two cars in front of us. the cars were stopped. i was approximately 20-25 feet behind the car in front of me. i took my foot off the brake in my car to let it idle forward. as i approached the yukon i reapplied the brake. the car accelerated to what sounded like full rpm's and i applied the brakes as hard as i could and nothing happened. the car slammed into the yukon with such an impact that both front airbags deployed. the driver side airbag hit me in the face. the passenger airbag did not reach my wife in the passenger seat. she immediately experienced severe chest pain and rapid heart beat. bystanders called 911 and two park rangers arrived in approx. 15-20 minutes. the rangers finished taking pictures and asked me to pull in to a parking spot out of the travel lane of the parking lot. i started the car and proceeded slowly and turned into a parking spot. as i applied the brake to park, the same phenomenon occurred again. the car accelerated forward over a curb and walkway and struck a pedestrian before coming to a stop on a retaining wall. i desperately tried to stop the car without success. the ems was there shortly after this occurrence. a ranger asked me how fast i was moving and i stated i had no idea. i asked him to ask the ranger who was right behind me and he said 5 mph. i exited the vehicle after they transported the pedestrian on the backboard.the ambulance was ready to take my wife to the hospital so i approached the park ranger and told him that i needed to ride in the ambulance with my wife.
My family traveled in this vehicle to carlsbad last week for vacation, including myself, my wife, our 13 year old daughter and 11 year old son. the vehicle worked perfectly until we were on our way home saturday, july 22, 2017. we were on i-10 approximately 1 hour east of phoenix in the right lane with the cruse set at the 75mph speed limit. there were no cars in front of us for at least a mile. all the sudden, without any warning whatsoever, nearly all the vehicle system lights came on and the vehicle slowed at an emergency rate down to approximately 40mph in about 2 seconds. i immediately hit 'cancel' on the cruise and stepped on the gas, but the vehicle continued to slow quickly. i immediately started to move to the shoulder of the road and noticed the 18 wheel tractor trailer behind us make an emergency swerve to the left and missed hitting us by inches. we were nearly involved in an accident that could have easily been fatal. all this took place in about a 5-10 second timeframe. after stopping on the shoulder of the road i made note that the vehicle was showing a transmission problem, an emissions problem, an awd problem and i think just about every other issue light was lit up. i tried to get the vehicle back on the road, but it would not go any higher than 3rd gear and the dash kept indicating a transmission and awd problem. i pulled over again and turned the vehicle off and back on. at that point the only indicator light that lit up was the emission system problem (see attached picture). i reentered the interstate and the transmission was working properly again. we stopped at the next gas station and filled the gas tank and upon restarting the engine the emission light was still on. we carefully drove home at 65'70mph. the following day (sunday), the emission light was no longer on.
My car constantly hesitates and makes a noise when accelerating. my honda dealership tells me that nothing is wrong. it has been doing this for over a year.
On 3 separate occasions, our 2016 honda pilot elite has completely shut down while we were driving - twice on the highway and once in busy traffic. when this happens, the engine, transmission, power steering, etc. all stop working and the car displays every error you can imagine. i have posted a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btebmywy-is this is very scary because there is nothing you can do to get the car working again - luckily, we have been able to coast to the side of the road. when it first happened, we called honda emergency roadside assistance and we had a tow on the way when we tried restarting the car several times in a row and that cleared the errors. since then, we have used the same trick to get the car running again but it has happened twice in the last week - very scary! i have found other similar complaints online so it's clear that there's some kind of computer or electric problem with this model - it's just not obvious what triggers it. we are going to try to trade in our car for a different model because honda has not been able to provide any help in spite of the fact that we have taken it to the dealer 3 times - i am very disappointed with their service on this.
Car intermittently fills with gasoline fumes when being fueled. has happened many times since new; local dealer verified fumes recently, but could not duplicate or repair it.
Coming to a stop at an intersection it has surged 4 times taking me out into the intersection every time, with foot off gas an on break i can not stop it. i recently have been using the emergency break to stop it. it does not happen all the time. i took it to dealer 2x. american honda is looking into it and always ask it wrecked it. several others had same issue. an software update did not resolve issue. can our government help?
On november 10, 2015, at approximately 5:30pm, my wife and i were traveling on north i-75 in southwest ohio. besides ourselves, we had our two young grandchildren in the car. the car's computer started displaying a changing series of warnings generally indicating various system failures. the car basically started to shut down. since we were in the far right lane, my wife was able to coast over to the shoulder. if we had been traveling in the middle or left lane of traffic, there would have been little if any chance of moving over to the curb. the car, with two young children in the back seat, would have shut down leaving us in the path of very fast moving cars and trucks. the only outcome was a potentially deadly high-speed rear end collision. we had to have the car towed to our honda dealer approximately 40 miles away. on november 27, the day after thanksgiving, the same failure occurred at approximately 2:30pm. this time we were 400 miles from home traveling east on highway 11-e, between greeneville and johnson city, tennessee. i caught the failure early enough before the engine shut down and was able to coast the car to a parking lot of an out-of-business store. this time instead of two young children, we had two elderly great grandparents. the dealer that handled the first incident diagnosed the problem as a software issue. however, the second dealer diagnosed it as a fuel pump relay not properly connected. this relay requires a special tool to install it. see attached letter with attachments for all details including service invoices.
