Honda pilot 2018 with 20,555 miles has a digital display. car was on adaptive cruise. weather was fine. my speed was approximately 61mph when the speed limit changed to 65mph as hwy became i73. i used + acceleration button on right hand column 4 touches to increase speed 1 mph per touch to 65mph. car began to rapidly accelerated to 79mph (last digital speed i saw) and i?m sure higher as i tried to gain control. . my foot had been off pedal while cruise was on so i looked and touched the gas peddle with my right foot to see what was happening. pedal was depressed. at this point i believe i turned off adaptive cruise by the main button on right hand column but car continued to accelerate. i pushed the de acceleration button - many times and car began to slow down uncontrollably fast realizing this i then pressed brake pedal hard and that broke the control of the adaptive cruise and i was able to get the car to the shoulder of the road. had car towed to dealership. crown honda in greensboro said no code was stored for the incident
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda pilot. while driving 30 mph, the vehicle accelerated without warning. the contact applied the brakes, but the vehicle lunged forward violently and made a loud noise. also, the rpms increased. the vehicle was towed to headquarter honda (17700 fl-50, clermont, fl 34711, (407) 395-7500) where it was diagnosed that an unknown part attached to the transmission was faulty. the dealer stated that they would notify the manufacturer. the vehicle was being repaired under the warranty. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 14,200.
My 2018 honda pilot elite turns on the "auto idle stop" feature each time i start the vehicle. basically, this means that the engine shuts off when i'm at a complete stop. when i release the brake, the engine starts again. however, there is lag time between the time i release the brake and acceleration. this has nearly caused a deathly accident on more than a dozen occasions during the past 6 months at intersections. i've nearly been t-boned each and every time because the vehicle will simply not accelerate at the precise moment when i need it to. there is over a 1 second lag before acceleration occurs. perhaps this is meant to be an emissions control feature, but it comes at the price of safety. this "auto idle stop" feature makes the vehicle completely unsafe to drive for families. there should be a permanent on/off switch rather than having to turn this feature off each and every time i start the vehicle. completely unsafe!
2018 honda pilot elite-- while driving on a small, congested, curvy two-lane road, in a popular tourist destination, my frontal impact sensors alerted me to frontal impact multiple times by shaking my steering wheel. the dash lights also flashed the word "brake" in orange and black. this so-called "safety" feature almost cause me to lose control of the vehicle several times on this road because of the shaking steering wheel. this frontal impact alert always occurred when a large rv type of vehicle passed by me. although i later discovered an "off" switch for this frontal impact alert system, i shouldn't have to turn off multiple "safety" sensors every time i start the vehicle. if you do not turn off these "safety" sensors, they will actual create unsafe conditions by shaking your steering wheel.
