Took my vehicle to lithia honda of salem oregon with under bumper to bumper and powertrain warranty with transmission jerking(service manager: brent called me advised that software he will take care off but flushing trans. fluid as per mnfg> known tsb is not and we need to pay.
First when i bought the vehicle new after one month a message popped up saying 'transmission problem' on the dashboard and the car only had 2,000 miles on it. i took the car to honda dealer. they didn't do anything and said don't know what happed and they were able to remove the message without doing any repair. now the 2018 honda pilot has 24,000 miles on it , the vehicle jerks and i felt the transmission flared and hard shift in gear 2nd to 3rd. it does not feel safe to drive the car. it keeps on jerking when you are driving at 30 miles of hour.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 honda pilot. the contact stated that while driving 45mph the vehicle made a grinding sound and the rpm's fell without warning. the contact had not taken the vehicle to a dealer to be diagnosed. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. upon investigation the contact had associated recall nhtsa campaign number: 04v176000(power train) with the vehicle failure. the vehicle had not been repaired. the failure mileage was 203,300.
On two separate occasions i have experienced my car notifying me of a transmission issue and kicking it into neutral on its own. the first time this occurred back at the end of november, used auto start and got into my car shortly after. turned on the car and placed into reverse. still stopped, pulling up my gps and heard the alert and saw on my dashboard 'stop driving when safe. transmission problem. see manual" it lights up that for a moment then goes away. but it shifted my car into neutral. didn't think anything of it. finished the the gps. took another moment and put the car in reverse. it did it again and it was back in neutral when i was just in reverse. i called the dealership immediately. the next day car was taken to the dealership. nothing was stored in the database. and they said they had never heard of it and couldn't find anything wrong. fast forward to today, auto start, got into car. placed in drive for a moment and before moving the alert came up and car was in neutral. it did it three times. took a photo of the alert ...
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.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2003 honda pilot. the contact stated that the vehicle would not immediately shift out of gear. also, while driving, the transmission indicator erroneously changed from the drive position to the drive 3 position. while the vehicle was parked in the garage with the engine idling and the transmission in the park position, the owner exited the vehicle. moments later, the vehicle erroneously began to move forward, pushed against the owner, and pinned her against a storage rack located in the garage. during the incident, the owner sustained a left leg injury that required medical treatment. the cause of the failure was not determined. a police report was filed. the manufacturer and local dealer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 189,000.
Engine is revving on its own @ 3000 rpm with no foot on the gas pedal or driving 15 mph and the engine is @ 4500 rpm with no foot on the gas pedal. my wife was in the pickup lane at my children's school and she told me that she had to hold the brake down & turn off the ignition because it felt like the honda pilot was going to accelerate on its own into the pickup line at the school. now you see why i said this vehicle is dangerous
