I was driving and went through an intersection when all of a sudden the car automatically shifted into Neutral and lights started flashing and stalled. The engine ceased up. I checked to see if I had oil. I did. Prior to this event on multiple occasions while driving on the HWY and trying to accelerate the engine had problems getting into gear. This vehicle has made me feel unsafe multiple times while driving and shifting out of gear and now just stalling while driving. Honda has a huge problem with the engines.
A few years ago I was told my fuel injectors needed to be replaced. Last month, I was told that my suspension needed to be replaced and it wore out. Shortly after that my struts were leaking and making noise. I do not drive my car over rough terrain, just regular street driving and I get my vehicle maintained regularly.
I was driving my vehicle on the highway at approximately 70 kph when the engine seized and all of the warning lights in the dash went out simultaneously. The car would barely accelerate but I was able to pull over and get it towed to a shop. The shop diagnosed total engine failure as a result of tension rod shavings showing in the oil filter. I researched recalls for my model & year and found November 13, 2023 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 23V751000. Although my specific VIN is not yet included, both the model/ year and symptoms of the issue match exactly with what happened to me. I urge you to include my VIN in this recall.
MY CAR KEEPS DISPLAYING 'KEY START SYSTEM PROBLEM' IT COMES ON AND OFF. SOMETIMES FOR A WEEK OR JUST A FEW DAYS. I HAVE NOW TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHY IT COMES ON THEN TURNS OFF. THIS LAST TIME LASTED A WEEK AND IT FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS STRUGGLING TO MOVE WHEN I ACCELERATED. THIS IS CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA PILOTS. I CHECKED ONLINE AND OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, THEY TRIED REPLACING THE PUSH TO START BUTTON, KEY BATTERIES AND THE HARNESS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I START MY CAR ONLY, I HAVE NOT MADE ANY ALTERATIONS TO MY VEHICLE. I JUST GOT MY CAR IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR.
BROKEN SWAY BAR RUST AT CRACK SHORT TRIP HOME FROM SHOPPING NOICE LOAD CLUNK CLUNK AND ON ANDON
FRONT END CREEKING/LOUD POP WHEN TAKING OFF AND TURNING. NOT CONTINUOUS. HAD IT TEST DRIVEN BY HONDA DEALERSHIP MECHANIC TWICE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL... AND NEVER CHECK UNDER THE VEHICLE. ALSO, HONDA RECALLED SOFTWARE FOR NAVIGATION PANEL... BUT THE SAME ISSUES HAVE ARISEN AGAIN.
I WRITE TO YOU TO CONVEY MY SAFETY CONCERNS REGARDING A NEW HONDA 2016 PILOT. MY ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE MY CONCERNS WITH AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. WERE MET WITH TEPID RELUCTANCE AND A CAVALIER NEGLECTFUL ATTITUDE. 1.AT HIGH SPEEDS (55-75 MPH) THE VEHICLE OVERSTEERS AND DURING EMERGENCY AVOIDANCE MANEUVERS BECOMES UNSTABLE. TWICE WHILE AVOIDING DEAR ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS, I HAVE ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND WAS SERIOUSLY CONCERNED ABOUT ROLLING THE VEHICLE OVER. I OWN AND HAVE DRIVEN A 2003 PILOT FOR OVER 180,000 MILES AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS SORT OF ISSUE. I BELIEVE THE SUSPENSION IS INCORRECTLY DESIGNED AND THAT UNEXPECTED AND UNNECESSARY ROLLOVERS ARE IMMINENT. 2.THE 'AUTO IDLE OFF' FEATURE TURNS THE ENGINE COMPLETELY OFF AT CERTAIN TIMES AND UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. IT TAKES BETWEEN 900 AND 1,300 MILLISECONDS TO RECOVER POWER TO THE WHEELS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. UNLIKE HYBRID VEHICLES (FROM WHICH THIS FEATURE WAS TAKEN), THERE...
