Consumer Description
OUR 2017 HONDA PILOT STARTED TURNING ON EVERY WARNING LIGHT IN THE DRIVER CONSOLE AND ALSO INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH EVERY SYSTEM IN THE CAR - SAFETY SYSTEMS, COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS, EMISSIONS SYSTEMS, ETC.. THESE LIGHTS TURNED ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. IT ALSO STARTED RUNNING VERY ROUGHLY. WE TOOK IT INTO SMART HONDA IN DES MOINES TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEY INDICATED THE FUEL INJECTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THEY WERE NOT COVERED UNDER THE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY - NO IDEA WHY THAT'S THE CASE. WE DECLINED, THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF, AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN OVER SEVERAL WEEKS. WE DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR GIVEN THAT IT'S TELLING US ALL THE SAFETY SYSTEMS ARE FAULTING. RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, IT APPEARS THAT MANY MANY OWNERS OF SIMILAR VERSIONS OF THE PILOT ARE EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM. HONDA REFUSES TO HELP RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND IT'S CLEARLY A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. MY FAMILY FEELS VERY UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE NOW AND HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM AND RESOLVE FOR ALL THE CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCING IT.
