Fuel Injector Malfunction
2016 Honda Pilot (Page 1 of 2)
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.

I have never had to replace fuel injectors in a vehicle I owned. I was never warned of the problem or offered any preventative measures to try to at least keep the fuel injectors in better shape. From what I read online, it appears to be a common problem in the car, and I do not feel that I should pay for the repair. It's not even a wear and tear thing! It's part of the engine and how it functions! I get oil changes regularly, replace and care for my tires, etc. If it is a common problem, I think that my car should have been expected every time I brought it in for an oil change. How can it just suddenly become a problem?
Also, the dealership rep said that the error code is not a part of the associated warranty. I think that's also a bunch of BS. This car has not been in any major wreck and my mileage for this car is much lower than the average.
