The problem started when my Pilot reached 15K miles. When driving I can feel the engine vibrate when accelerate around 35 -45 RPM speed. I did some researches online and a lot of people having the similar problem ( when eco/vcm kicks in car vibrates) it has something to do with the transition from 3 cylinders to 6 cylinders. I hope that Honda do something about this. I don't feel safe when the vibration kicks in when driving; felt like the engine would explode kinda scary feeling. Also if too much vibration, it would reduce the life the engine. Please help us on this issues.
Two incidents of sudden unintended acceleration. The first on January 31, 2014, the second on March 25, 2014. Both incidents occurred at a very slow rate of speed of approximately five miles per hour. In both situations the car was coming to a stop with the brake being applied. Suddenly, the rpms increased and the car suddenly moved forward with the break unable to stop the car even though both feet were applied to the brake peddle. The car was stopped by putting the gear shift into neutral and turning off the engine. This has been reported to Honda of America as well as to the local Honda dealer. The car was brought to the dealer two times, but the dealer unable to diagnose the problem. Honda of America (800 999-1009) has opened a case number which is: N012014-03-2600701. This is a potentially very dangerous situation. Updated 06/04/14
When cruising in my 2014 Honda Pilot ex-L at about 60 mph on relatively flat terrain, there is a low frequency vibration and rumble. I believe this is due to the vcm feature of the engine. It is possible this could get worse and cause some engine damage.
When the variable cylinder management kicks in at 2000 RPM the engine vibrates. It does this constantly when the eco green light comes on. Very distracting and annoying. Also is a problem in my sisters 2013 Pilot. Dealer knew it was a problem but would not disclose until after I purchased the car.
