After contacting the dealer several times, I-??ve been told the parts for the recall are unavailable and it has been more than 6 months. The recall is over air bags that may not deploy correctly. Additionally, the electrical panel is periodically going out, the electrical on the seat isn-??t working, and the car charger isn-??t working. Finally, the car hesitates when going from reverse to drive. It won-??t go and then I have to press the accelerator hard and then the car jumps. This is after I-??ve had the radio fixed for incessant crackling from a different recall. The car seems unsafe.
When driving the my 2021 Honda Pilot and I stop, the vehicle goes into idle engine automatically. There are have been numerous incidents when I lift my foot off the break, the engine does not turn back on. The vehicle is in drive and starts to beep and flash to put in park, shut off and restart. Obviously, this is extremely dangerous since it has occurred in the middle of traffic and in stop and go traffic on the highway. It puts the passengers in my vehicle at risk as well as other cars on the road. There are no warning signs or lights. My dealer has been made aware of the -??idle stop-?? feature not working correctly.
Twice in the last 6 months this has happened while car was stopped at red light. The auto engine restart system failed, causing the car to shut down. Car had to be placed in park and restarted. Local dealer was unable to detect cause : no codes captured and there were no problems with battery or starter detected.
Vehicle spontaneously caught fire. There were no known/indicated issues with the vehicle. Vehicle was eventually extinguished by the fire dept. It took them 45 mins to render it extinguished. Vehicle was parked in my driveway at the time of the incident.
Like others have reported, similar to the odyssey we own that did have a recall to fix the issue, the vehicle fails to restart after it idles at a light. Causing very stressful situation in traffic because it take 10-20 seconds to get vehicle going. Happened 5 times in 6 months.

When driving the car and stopped, the car goes into idle engine automatically. There are have been 5 incidents where the engine wouldn-??t turn back on. The car starts beeping and flashing to put in park, shut off and restart. This is extremely dangerous when in the middle of traffic, cars honking and my children in the car getting nervous. Luckily I have not had an accident yet and figured out how to not use the -??idle stop-?? feature to prevent this from happening but it-??s not a long term solution as I have to stop idle feature every time the car is turned on.
The automatic start/stop feature has caused several stalls at intersections. It has taken repeated efforts to restart the vehicle, once resulting in a near miss situation. What is especially worrying is that my [XXX] driver was behind the wheel during one instance. In the past 48 hours, it has happened three times.

The reason we took our Honda in to the Honda retailer to begin with is because the car kept alerting a message of an -??emissions systems failure.-?? We took it in and found out that we had 3 recalls on our Honda Pilot. They fixed one recall but stated that they -??needed parts-?? for the other recalls. It has been one month and after continuous follow ups they continue to tell us that they still haven-??t gotten the parts and are behind in service. This is unacceptable. The retailer believed that we were receiving the -??emissions system failure-?? error message is because of a fuse. They replaced the fuse but the message returned several days later. I am thinking we received the error message because of the -??Passport/Pilot MOST FAKRA Service Cables-?? failure recall that has a possibility to cause -??poor, or lost, connections intermittently between the audio display unit and the vehicle cable connector-?? (Manufacturer recall explanation). I am not entirely sure exactly what is wrong with our vehicle nevertheless the reason for the complaint is that the manufacturer/certified dealership has -??failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall-?? for our vehicle -??in a timely manner.-?? I hope this complaint will get our recalls fixed.
2021 Honda Pilot is subject to "rapid acceleration". We had no notification of this issue until the vehicle drove itself into our home on its own causing damage to the car and our home. Only after we did some research did we know Honda had this issue.
Vehicle shut off while at a busy intersection light. Unable to restart the vehicle for several minutes. All safety systems (crash mitigation.....) were disabled. Unable to find a current recall through Honda and the dealership is closed since it is sunday.
