problem #2

Pilot EX-L

  • Automatic transmission

The car acts like it is possessed, lights flashing, clicking, etc. randomly, even without the keys near by. Killed the factory battery, changed it and took it into the dealer, they were not able to figure it out, they reset the electronic system, but the issue still persists.

problem #1

Pilot AWD V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 22,300 miles

After only 22,000 miles on my 2017 Honda Pilot, I have been getting a warning light issue the rotates between the Emissions Control, ABS braking, Downhill hill assist, ACC....all warnings. I also have notice that the vehicle does not get out of 2nd gear when this happens as I see the RPMs up to 3500 at 45 mpg.

I notified Mohawk Honda about the problem and brought the car in for repair. The first thing the advisor told me was it was probably a break in the wires due to an animal...Come on, I have had cars for over 60 years and not once had this occur. They check out the codes and after not finding any brakes in continuity, called the LA Honda ? for advice. The advised to change the PCM (computer chip). After two days to receive the part and install I thought we were good to go. Not so, After one day or 2 vehicle starts, the same issue returned. I plan to bring back in in the morning but am absolutely worried about this vehicle and this Pilot generation 2016-2018 as I have read thru various car boards, this is an ongoing issue with the electrical/computer system.

We are retired and despite having an extended warranty worry about the longevity and safety of this generation of Pilot. If the problem is not rectified this week, we may have to go to the NY Atty General's office to file a complaint under our States Lemon Law.

We have been a Honda/Acura family now for over 25 years and am deeply disturbed over the current quality that Honda is selling. This is not withstanding the Takata airbag issue.
