Consumer Description

IT SURGES WHEN COMING TO AN INTERSECTION GOING 15 MPH WITH FOOT OFF GAS AND FIRMLY ON THE BRAKES. IT HAS SURGED SEVERAL TIMES OUT INTO THE INTERSECTIONS. SERVICE BULLETIN 16-008 COVERS OVER 50,000 HONDA PILOTS BUT THE DEALER TELLS ME MY PILOT IS JUST SHORT OF THE LISTED VIN NUMBERS. I HAVE INFORMED THE DEALER THIS OCCURS IN COOLER WEATHER BELOW 40 DEGREES AND IF PEOPLE ARE CROSSING THE INTERSECTION AND IT SURGES THE PILOT COULD HURT OR KILL SEVERAL PEOPLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM CAUSE IT DID NOT OCCUR WHILE THEY HAD IT. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME.
