NHTSA Complaint #11558582 — 2016 HONDA PILOT

The engine failed on 12/1/2023. Currently it is still available for inspection upon request. My son was driving the car at 70mph on the freeway and the RPMs shot way up, the engine made loud noises, the engine and oil lights came on and the car abruptly slowed and stopped. The vehicle had to be towed to a car repair shop where they confirmed that an engine rod failed. The engine knocks when you apply the gas pedal and will not drive. This matches a currently recall that doesn't include my vehicle and Honda refuses to apply the recall to my vehicle even though it is the same year make and model as recalled vehicles.
