NHTSA Complaint #11316054 — 2017 HONDA PILOT

WHILE STOPPED, THEN STARTING AGAIN (EG AT A STOP SIGN), VEHICLE SOMETIMES WILL NOT SHIFT INTO MOTION, ACTS "SLUGGISH". THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT PERHAPS A SHOE STUCK, OR A FLOOR MAT WAS IN THE WAY, BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. DEALERSHIP SAID JUST TURN OFF ECO MODE. THE VEHICLE STILL OCCASIONALLY DOES THIS AND IS NOW VERY JERKY TO DRIVE AT ALL TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO PREVENTED ACCELERATION WHILE CHANGING LANES OR OVERTAKING ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, HAPPENING TO BOTH DRIVERS OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS PRIMARILY BEEN INTERSTATE DRIVING, THEREFORE HIGH SPEEDS, BUT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY ON A CITY STREET, VERY NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH MY CHILD IN THE VEHICLE! THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A VEHICLE, PARTICULARLY A NEWER ONE, AND YET IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMONLY-REPORTED PROBLEM THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED! ARE WE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED? THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS OCCASIONAL TROUBLE WITH THE AUDIO SYSTEM, BUT THAT'S AN INCONVENIENCE WHILE THE TRANSMISSION IS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING!
