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.

The car is only 2 months old with 494 miles and car just stalled while driving as all the dashboard lights started blinking and all error messages were coming up on the dashboard such as low battery, all wheel drive system problem, vehicle assist problem,brake problem. My wife had to wait 2 hours for the tow truck to come and tow to nearest Honda dealer and they told us that it was a faulty battery which I thought was highly unlikely being that the car was brand new. The next day I got into the car and was driving it up my block and all of a sudden I heard something snap below the vehicle so I thought I ran over something on the road but when I looked behind the car I saw nothing in the road and a few seconds later I heard banging noises under my car every 10 seconds and than smoke started coming from under the hood of the car so I stopped the car and smelled a burning odor and smoke coming from under the hood. I got in my car and started to drive it to the dealership and than I was getting all error messages again on the dashboard and all lights started blinking. The dealership had to keep the car overnight as they had to order parts to fix the problem which was that the Alternator Pulley separated from the Alternator which damaged the Belt Tensioner, Crank Pulley, Serpentine Belt, Timing Belt and Timing Belt lower cover. This car is a Lemon if I ever saw one and a New Car should never have these many problems so fast and I am nervous to even drive this car as I do not feel safe driving it as I feel it is not reliable and what could happen next as I do not want my family to be in harms way as I am reporting this issue with Honda to have them take this car back as it was not put together properly and do not want to wait for other issues while my family is at risk.
