2016 HONDA PILOT Power Train Problems

I NOTICED THE CAR STARTED JERKING BETWEEN 30-50 MPH. THE RPM'S WOULD ALSO PULSE AT THE SAME TIME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND OF COURSE THE WARRANTY WAS OUT. THEY 'RECOMMEND A TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSH AND THE INTAKE NEEDED CLEANING.' SUPPOSEDLY THE INTAKE IS DIGITAL AND IT AFFECTS THE TRANSMISSION. THEY FOUND THE TRANSMISSION OIL WAS BURNT DUE TO HIGH TRANSMISSION TEMP. ALL OF THIS WAS DONE ON MARCH 10 2020. AUGUST 17 2020 I TOOK IT BACK TO HONDA WITH WORSE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS TIME WHEN I WOULD PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE IT WOULD JERK INTO GEAR. MY WIFE SAYS WHILE DRIVING IT JERKS HARD AT RANDOM TIMES. THIS TIME THEY RECOMMEND ANOTHER TRANSMISSION FLUSH BECAUSE 1/3 OF THE OIL WAS STILL BAD. APPARENTLY AFTER READING ON THIS SITE, THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2016 HONDA PILOT TRANSMISSIONS. IS IT GOING TO TAKE...

ON AUGUST 9, 2020, I WAS DRIVING, AT 75, WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, I NEEDED EXTRA SPEED TO PASS A VEHICLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE, I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL STILL ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A POWER DOWN MODE WITH THE DASHBOARD FLASHING CODES AND THEN WENT BLANK. THE ENGINE DOWNSHIFTED AND THE ENGINE SPEED INCREASED TO 7,000 RPM. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, AT 75 MPH, AND RESTARTED WITH THE DASHBOARD LIGHTING UP AGAIN. AFTER PANICKING, TRIED TO GIVE THE CAR GAS AND IT WOULD NOT GO. NOW AT 65 MPH, I PULLED OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE AND COASTED DOWN TO 40 MPH AND THE CAR STARTED HAVING POWER AGAIN. WE PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF THE CAR. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND AN "EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM" WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR HAS 56,217 MILES ON IT. I HAVE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 TO 30 MPH, THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE VEHICLE STARTED JERKING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DROVE MUCH SMOOTHER ONCE THE SPEED EXCEEDED 40 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT RESEARCH SHOWED THAT DUE TO A CODING ERROR, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED AND CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO NOT PERFORM AS NEEDED IN REGULATING THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HUGHES HONDA (2260 MOODY RD, WARNER ROBINS, GA 31088, (478)449-3939) AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS CHANGED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THE TRANSMISSION CHANGES FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL TO PARK AND SOMETIMES DIES. CAR WON'T RESTART WHEN FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS ON DISPLAY SCREEN OR ANY OTHER WAY EXCEPT SITTING AND TRYING TO START IT OVER AND OVER AFTER TURNING ON FLASHERS AND WAVING TRAFFIC AROUND US.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35-57 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR PROVIDE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

DRIVING AT 35 MPH ON MY WAY HOME ON A SIDE STREET AND MY CAR JOLTED AND STALLED AND SEVERAL (5)WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. VEHICLE STABILITY, BRAKE, TRAMMISION WARNING, AND A COUPLE OTHER LIGHTS. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. I TRIED TO DRIVE IT IN A PARKING LOT SO I WAS ABLE TO GET SAFELY OUT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC . AND IT WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND I COULDN+T DRIVE IT AT ALL AS I WOULD TRY TO START AND IT WOJLD REV TO 4000-5000 RPMS AND WOULD POP IN AND OUT FROM GEAR TO PARK.. I HAD IT TOWED FROM THE PARKING LOT I WAS IN TO MY MACHANIC . MY CONCERN IS THAT I DON+T FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SHIFTING ISSUES, STALLS AND JOLTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IF I WERE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THAT HAPPENED, GOING AT 65 MPH, IT...

I WAS DRIVING ON A DUAL TWO LANE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH. AT A CROSS ROAD A TRAFFIC LIGHT WAS RED, AND I STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE AUTOMATIC IDLE STOP SHUT OFF THE ENGINE FOR 1/2 TO 1 MINUTE, BEFORE THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN. WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK, THE CAR SHOULD HAVE STARTED, BUT IT DIDN'T.. MANY OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE CARS AROUND ME MOVED FORWARD AND SEVERAL HONKED, BECAUSE I WASN'T MOVING. OTHER CARS WERE APPROACH ME FROM BEHIND AT SPEED. I TRIED TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTART IT. NOTHING HAPPENED BECAUSE THE SHIFT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I EXITED THE CAR AND PUSHED IT TO THE RIGHT TURN LANE JUST AHEAD AND PUSHED THE BRAKE TO STOP ONCE I WAS OUT OF THE DRIVING LANE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK WITH MY FOOT...

ISSUE: CAR IS UNABLE TO START WHEN ON A CITY STREET AND AUTO-START IS ENABLED (STALLING). THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER SHE OFTEN HAS THE KIDS IN THE CAR WHICH CREATES A LARGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST PRESENTED ITSELF, THERE WAS ONE TIME WHERE THE CAR UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. UNFORTUNATELY THAT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE REPLICATED AS WELL NOR HAVE WE EXPERIENCED IT AGAIN. POTENTIAL SOLUTION 1: BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED WHICH TEMPORARILY STOPPED THE ISSUE, HOWEVER WITHIN MONTHS THE ISSUE IS BACK. POTENTIAL SOLUTION 2: IT'S WORTH NOTING THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED RECENTLY, HOWEVER IT WAS NOT DUE TO THIS THE STALLING ISSUE, THERE WAS AN ACTUAL ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE STALLING STOPPED FOR A WHILE AS WELL, THEN CAME BACK...

FOR HONDA PILOT 2016 , THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION THAT CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO OVERHEAT. THE OVERHEATING ISSUE LEADS TO A 'JUDDER' IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR ACCELERATES IN A VERY JERKY WAY ESPECIALLY BETWEEN 30 AND 50. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU ARE TRYING TO PASS SOMEONE. AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE REACHES 80,000 MILES HONDA WILL NO LONGER COVER THE SO-CALLED 'REPAIR' WHICH IS TO FLUSH THE BURNT TRANSMISSION OIL MULTIPLE TIMES. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ON 3/15/2020, MY FAMILY AND I WERE IN OUR 2016 AWD HONDA PILOT ELITE. MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN NOTICING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION GETTING WORSE SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA (APPROX. 25 MPH), THE CAR SUDDENLY "LURCHED/JERKED" FORWARD WITH SOME FORCE WHEN WE WERE SLOWING DOWN TO A POSTED STOP SIGN. THIS WAS A HUGE ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT PEOPLE WERE CROSSING RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. AFTER THIS, WE PROCEEDED TO HEAD HOME. AGAIN THE CAR BEGAN TO "JERK/LURCH" FORWARD WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO PERFORM A SLOW SPEED NORMAL STOP, CAUSING US TO ALMOST REAR END THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF US. LASTLY, BEFORE GETTING HOME, DURING THE PILOT'S ACCELERATION FROM A STOPPED POSITION, BETWEEN THE 1-4 GEARS, THE CAR AGAIN WOULD EITHER JERK FORWARD UNPREDICTABLY OR NOT EVEN SHIFT INTO GEAR PROPERLY, LEAVING THE CAR...

I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. THE IDLE START/STOP KICKED IN. WHEN I WENT TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE TO THE GAS TO GO ACROSS THE BUSY INTERSECTION, MY PILOT COMPLETELY DIED. THIS LEFT ME STRANDED AT A STOP SIGN AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION FOR OVER 2 HOURS WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS 'JUST A SOFTWARE UPDATE'. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THEY ARE ONLY FIXING IT WHEN IT AFFECTS A VEHICLE. NO RECALL??!!!! I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO UPLOAD MY VIDEO THAT I TOOK WHEN THIS ALL HAPPENED SO YOU COULD SEE WHAT MY DASH LOOKED LIKE WHEN I KEPT TRYING TO START MY CAR BACK UP. THE WEEK PRIOR TO THIS, THE PHOTO SHOWS WHAT NOTICE POPPED UP ON MY DASH.

WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE AUTO START/STOP WILL FAIL RANDOMLY. THIS THEN LEAVES THE DRIVER STUCK FOR UP TO 1 MINUTE IN TRAFFIC WITH THE CAR UNRESPONSIVE TO THE START BUTTON. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO HONDA SERVICE STATIONS IN BOTH GEORGIA AND OHIO. AFTER REPLACEMENTS OF BATTERIES, AS PER HONDA RECOMMENDATIONS, THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM. A DRIVER COULD EASILY BE REAR-ENDED AND ULTIMATELY HARMED WHEN LEFT STRANDED ON A BUSY STREET WITH NO ABILITY TO START THE CAR BACK IN A TIMELY FASHION. WHEN PROGRESSING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR, THIS MODEL VIOLENTLY JERKS. THIS HAPPENS DESPITE TIMELY SERVICE EXCLUSIVELY ONE AT HONDA SERVICE STATIONS. EACH TIME IT IS REPORTED, MY WIFE IS TOLD THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE. ULTIMATELY IT APPEARS TO BE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE TO WHICH HONDA WILL NOT ADMIT FAULT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO INCREASE IN SPEED WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE SHUDDERING IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CRISWELL HONDA 19525 AMARANTH DR, GERMANTOWN, MD 20874, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR CALLED FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND TO FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY PERIOD BEING EXCEEDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED. THE CONTACT STATED THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

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.

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.

FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS MY CAR SOMETIMES SAYS KEY REMOTE PROBLEM WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON TO START IT. I HAVE 46000 MILES ON IT.

1. KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR WARNING 2. TRANSMISSION OR THROTTLE ISSUE: JERKY OR CHOPPY ACCELERATION WHEN AT LOW OR MODERATE ACCELERATION BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 20 TO 50 MPH OR DURING CRUISING AT SPEEDS OF 20 TO 50 MPH. BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR ISSUE, FIRST TWO TIMES UNDER WARRANTY, AT WHAT TIME THE SOFTWARE FOR THE TRANSMISSION WAS UPDATED WHICH RECTIFIED ISSUE FOR 3 MONTHS. THE THIRD TIME, SOFTWARE WAS AGAIN UPDATED BUT WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT OF THE ISSUE. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE WARRANTY ON POWERTRAIN LAPSED BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD REQUEST FOR REPAIR AND ISSUE IS NOT BEING TREATED AS A CONTINUATION OF A KNOWN PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED, STALLED, AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HONDA OF AVENTURA (2150 NE 163RD ST, NORTH MIAMI BEACH, FL 33162) NUMEROUS TIMES. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE FAILURES WERE NORMAL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HOLMAN HONDA (12 E SUNRISE BLVD, FORT LAUDERDALE, FL 33304) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT DIRECTLY NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE. EACH DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND REMAINED IN THE POSSESSION OF HONDA OF AVENTURA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN SHIFTING FROM R TO D, THE VEHICLE WOULD PERIODICALLY SHIFT TO PARK AND THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WOULD BE ON DURING THIS TIME. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, IT WOULD RESET AND YOU COUPDNDRIVE IT AGAIN. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT SAID THAT HONDA HAD THIS KNOWN ISSUE AND UPDATED THE COMPUTER. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AFTER THIS AND OWNERS DEEMED THE CAR DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND THE DEALER AGREED TO PURCHASE IT FOR CASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN FOUR TIMES TO MILLENNIUM HONDA (286 FRANKLIN ST, NY 11550, (516) 481-2800) WHERE THE SOFTWARE UPDATED WAS COMPLETED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER A FIFTH TIME, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY CAR IS SHIFTING HARSHLY AND DANGEROUSLY WHILE ACCELERATING BETWEEN 20-30 MPH AND DECELERATING. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2016-2019 PILOTS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER! 2016 HONDA PILOT (52,000 MILES)

THE VEHICLE IS JERKING WHEN BEING PUT IN GEAR. RATHER IT IS IN DRIVE OR REVERSE.

WHEN I AM AT A STOPLIGHT AND THE CAR GOES INTO IDLE STOP, IT DOES NOT RESTART AFTER I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE BREAK. I HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND HOLD THE START BUTTON DOWN AS IT STRUGGLES TO TURN OVER. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE CARS BEHIND ME EXPECT ME TO BE MOVING AND I HAVE BEEN ALMOST HIT AS A RESULT. IT USED TO WORK FINE AND RESTART AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE IT. WE TRIED REPLACING THE BATTERY. IT DID IT THAT SAME DAY AFTER I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY HESITATED TO DRIVE AND JERKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COLONIAL HONDA OF DARTMOUTH (225 STATE RD, DARTMOUTH, MA 02747, (508) 996-6800) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED SO THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT OVERHEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

OUR 2016 HONDA PILOT JERKS AND HESITATES; APPEARING THAT IT DOES NOT KNOW WHICH GEAR TO SHIFT INTO WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON A CITY STREET. AS RECOMMENDED BY HONDA, THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE WAS DONE AT 30,000 MILE INTERVALS. HOWEVER THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE NEED A NEW POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AT A COST OF $1400, WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL SOLVE MY PROBLEM. OPTION #2 IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT A PRICE OF $5,000. I CALLED HONDA'S CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME UNLESS THEIR CERTIFIED MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP LET THEM KNOW THAT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS A MECHANICAL DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER. THIS IS A HIGH RISK...

THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING SPORADIC SURGES OF ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 20 TO 50 MPH ON CITY STREETS AND WHILE CLIMBING GRADUAL HILLS ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 TO 70 MPH. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. NOTES FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAY IT WAS CAUSED BY FLUID DETERIORATION.

IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD FORCEFULLY AND MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES WITHIN TWO MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HOWDY HONDA (LOCATED AT 5519 E BEN WHITE BLVD, AUSTIN, TX 78741, (512) 686-1544), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE CAR PUT ITSELF INTO PARK WITHOUT MY (THE DRIVER) KNOWLEDGE. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE HOWEVER THE CAR WAS IN PARK. I ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND IT WOULD NOT DO SO. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON IN ORDER TO PLACE THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH OR LESS, THE VEHICLE JERKED. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE GEAR SHIFTED INTO A DIFFERENT GEAR, ESPECIALLY ON AN INCLINE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT CALLED HONDA OF CONCORD AT 704-774-4538 (LOCATED AT 7650 BRUTON SMITH BLVD, CONCORD, NC 28027) AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,000.

JERKING WHEN ACCELERATING (USUALLY HAPPENS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 30MPH AND 50MPH) OR HEADING UP A HILL AT LOW SPEEDS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND TURNING IN CURVES. THE TAC WILL JUMP WHEN THIS IS OCCURRING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS MODEL YEAR (THE TRANSMISSION FLUID DETERIORATES QUICKER THAN IT'S SUPPOSED TO). I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 18 MONTHS SO NOW I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AND WHAT DAMAGE IF ANY THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED AND IF I WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE TROUBLE WITH THIS CAR.

NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

WHEN I COME TO A STOP, THE AUTO STOP FEATURE TURNS THE ENGINE OFF, IF I TRY TO GO AT THE SAME MOMENT IT TURNS OFF, THE CAR STALLS. IT IS VERY RARE BUT HAS HAPPENED 2-4 TIMES. THE CAR STARTS AGAIN BUT IT TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS.

THE TRANSMISSION IS JERKY AND CLUNKY IN LOWER GEARS. OFTEN WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST AND SECOND GEARS THE PILOT JERKS AND MISFIRES. HAPPENS SPORADICALLY, BUT CONSISTENTLY. STARTED AROUND 25 -30K MILES AND GETTING WORSE.

WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE CAR PUT ITSELF INTO PARK WITHOUT MY (THE DRIVER) KNOWLEDGE. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE HOWEVER THE CAR WAS IN PARK.

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND HONDA HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE. IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AND ON CITY STREETS. THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND MY CAR HAS AN ENGINE IDLE SO THAT WHEN TRAFFIC COMES TO A HALT THE ENGINE CUTS OUT TO CONSERVE GAS. ON MANY A OCCASION IT WILL NOT JUST AUTOMATICALLY START BUT WILL INSTEAD KICK THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY AS IT WILL THEN NOT START AS IF THE BATTERY IS DEAD BUT THE BATTERY IF FINE AND HAS BEEN REPLACED AS HONDA THOUGHT THAT WOULD RESOLVE IT. THEY ALSO REPLACED ALL THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THIS ALSO HAS NOT STOPPED THE PROBLEM. I FEEL I AM GOING TO BE KILLED IN THIS CAR. I HAVE CASE # 08783155 WITH HONDA AND AFTER HAVING JUST SPOKE TO THEM THEY ADVISED ME TO FILM PROBLEM!! YES THEY EXPECT ME TO...

WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE, ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH OUR 2016 HONDA PILOT ELITE SINCE EARLY ON IN OUR OWNERSHIP. WHEN I TRY TO GO AFTER COMING TO A STOP, THE CAR TRIES TO STALL AND HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WHEN IT STALLS, IT HAS SWITCHED ITSELF TO NEUTRAL AND FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, IT WILL NOT LET ME DO ANYTHING TO TRY TO GET THE CAR GOING AGAIN SUCH AS CHANGE GEARS, START THE CAR, ETC. AS I TRY TO GET IT GOING, IT WILL TELL ME THAT I NEED TO START THE ENGINE TO CHANGE THE GEAR BACK TO DRIVE BUT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING WHEN I PRESS THE START BUTTON. FURTHER, THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM: THE BACK UP CAMERA GOES BLACK, THE ENTIRE SYSTEM REBOOTS WHILE DRIVING, THE AUDIO SCREEN FREEZES AND AUDIO CEASES WHILE DRIVING, THE ENTIRE SCREEN GOES...
