Driving back from Illinois to Texas and started to feel vibration when the engine's vcm would activate. I was going about 65mph and slowly eased off of the gas, when I slowly pushed on the gas to speed up again I felt a vibration on the floor board that would not stop until I gave it more gas. This has been going on ever since. Even yesterday when I drove to san antonio and today when I drove back to houston, I have taken the car to the dealership 4 times in 2013.it has not been fixed even though the head mechanic did a ride along and agreed there was vibration. The dealership states they cannot fix the problem. They say they are waiting on Honda to give them instructions on how to fix it.

Every since I purchased this new car - the A/C is so so loud!!! you can hear it click on and it almost sounds like its going to blow up!!! I took my new car for its 1st oil chg on 7/14/2012 and asked them to check it out. They did and said that noise is normal. Its so loud - I shut it off at times - because its competing with the radio with volume!! this is not normal.

I recently purchased a 2012 Honda Pilot to replace a 2010 Pilot that had some uncharacteristic issues. Weeks after driving it off the lot, I began to notice a noise when the ac fan kicked on. I took the Pilot to the dealership and was told this was just the sound the fan makes when it kicks on. For those who have experienced this issue, they know this sound is anything but normal. It is a quite loud whining noise that changes it's pitch while you are sitting idol with the ac on. A second issue I have seen is the vibration when driving at a constant speed. The Pilot drives well when increasing or decreasing speed, but a constant speed causes a vibration similar to that of a manual transmission vehicle running in too high of gear. This issue is terribly annoying and the only way to avoid is to constantly change your speed. Both of the issues can be found in reports online with a consistent answer: Honda knows about the issues but has no current fix. I wish I had never bought this vehicle. Two Pilot at this point and no luck. There needs to be a recall on these issues and support from Honda.

I purchased my 2012 Honda Pilot on Tuesday March 27, 2012 with 113 miles on it. Within 2 days I experienced for the first time when trying to start the vehicle it times out after 7-10 seconds and I have to try again. Now, 8 days after the purchase it has happened 6 times. I did research on the new model and it seems to have been a known issue since the fall of 2011. If I would have known I would have never signed on the dotted line and I want the issue rectified. I contacted the dealership immediately and they said it was a new issue that has no fix currently. After a the 3rd incident I filed a formal complaint with Honda in California and I haven't heard anything. No offer to take the car back, no offer for a safer vehicle that works properly. I just want a working car-- I am paying money for a vehicle that is known to be faulty and no one seems to know what to do about it. I was told I was the 5th person in the dealerships district to have this issue but still I have this faulty vehicle that is unreliable.

2012 Honda Pilot - does not start consistently. Consistently has a rough start, and often stalls. Within days of owning my brand new 2012 Honda Pilot, the car stalled when I attempted to start it in my garage. I immediately brought the car into the dealership. The dealer's service department could not find a problem. They kept the car for the day, then reported to me that Honda of America is aware of the problem and trying to fix it. They promised to keep me posted on the status of the Honda of America engineers progress on the issue. Six weeks went by, and the problem persisted with intermittent calls from my local service manager. I was told not to bother to bring it in for service each time it stalled because they were waiting for a recall/fix from corporate. After six weeks, multiple stalls, which were all reported to my dealer as requested, I was then advised, by my dealer to contact Honda of America myself get some results. I spoke with Honda of amercia's nice, but useless customer service representative for two weeks, and got fed up with her inability to do anything other than agree that my problem was unacceptable. Then I called the GM of the dealership, explained my frustration & continued problems with my brand new Honda Pilot. He claimed to not have heard of my problem before, and quickly agreed to fulfilled my request to trade my vehicle in for a different car, same model - 2012 Honda Pilot in the hopes that my car was a lemon. Within less than 24 hours of owning this second 2012 Honda Pilot, my new car stalled. I have recently been on youtube and discovered that this is a common problem with the 2012 Honda Pilot, and has also been reported with some 2011 Honda Pilot. This is unacceptable for a new car to be so unreliable.
