A/C Not Working Properly
2016 Honda Pilot
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: It's worrying when the top category for 2016 Honda Pilot problems are transmission problems. Owners report jerking when accelerating. Also as the first model year of the redesigned 3rd generation Pilot, it's not a good sign.
Honda released a TSB on October 29 2016 that's possibly related. The TSB deals with a "a judder from the torque converter lock-up clutch ... while driving between 20 and 60 mph" due to deteriorated transmission fluid resulting from "specific driving conditions". In the TSB, Honda states they are developing a software fix to try to keep the transmission fluid temperature within spec.
We are keeping a close eye on this defect trend because if certain driving conditions can affect transmission shifting in the first year of ownership, we'd hate to think what 10+ years will do.

Took the car to Honda with my complaint, got a loaner which just getting the loaner took me over 2 weeks to schedule. (by the way the problem was never fixed from my first complaint almost one year earlier) Pick the car up still doing the same exact thing. Paid my deductible. Several days later get a call that my car is done the advisor actually says to me, he is not going to charge me a second deductible. CAR IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING, I leave it again. Saturday 5/4 i pick it up after asking if they checked that the problem is fixed. I get half way home my side blows out extremely cold or hot, the other side of the car does not have the same temp and blows warm air. I now ask Honda to come and get the car from my driveway. I am waiting now on Monday at 1pm to hear anything ???????
