CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012-2013 Honda Pilot have a small complaint trend of owners reporting the engine hesitates sometimes when accelerating.
While it's not a widespread trend with the Pilot, it's a little concerning because of the possibly safety ramifications. While it's certainly something to keep in mind, most Pilot owners are not experiencing this problem.
The check engine light came on and after spending two days in repair, and replacing spark plug # 3 due to oil fouling the plug, car performed as designed. However, three days later, check engine light comes on, was taken to dealer and now spark plug # 2 is fouled and burned. After talking to Tech, I asked about prior issues with earlier year models and was told that in those events the engine was replaced. We will see on this 2013. I have faith in Honda at this time. Will keep you posted.
