There is an issue of hesitation, the engine lags when the car is going between 35-50 mph. It seems to be associated with the car switching between ECO and non-ECO mode.

Began random hesitation 4-5 seconds at slow speed but now occurs at higher speed, (up to 45 mph). Very dangerous pulling into traffic. Local dealer shrugs it off, says Honda knows of problem, no fix yet.

After slowing down with brakes, then trying to accelerate again, there is a several second delay before the engine begins to respond. This is very intermittent and I have not been able to recreate it to show to the service manager.

The car hesitates for several reasons....driving with two feet, driving down a decline, going around a corner at a low rate of speed. The accelerator goes dead. You must lift your foot completely and then the accelerator will work again. Dealer says no idea what it is and can't repeat it. Many people with 2011-2013 pilots on online forum confirm this issue. VERY DANGEROUS !!!!

Dealer says no one has had that problem before. Told me to wait till it gets worse then maybe they can find the problem.

Very dangerous when making a left or right turn. If the car pauses at that time be ready for an accident.

hesitates when cruising at 40 to 60 mph

problem started the first day of new car purchase. hesitates around 40 to 60 mph. went to dealer. they were not sure how to fix it. said it could be a software problem and would contact me. It's been over 2 months and no one has called me. good luck with honda!
