Noticed rattling/knocking noise roughly in the area behind glove box around 1000-2000rpm or under load (e.g. driving uphill) when I took possession of vehicle around 18k miles. Had multiple shops/mechanics insist it was normal driving sounds. Noise became louder and more consistent. A Honda mechanic suspected a connecting rod bearing failure after a test drive and indicated it MIGHT be covered under recall. Took back to Honda dealership where technician found copious metal shavings in oil pan and irreparable crankshaft damage. Confirmed that this VIN is NOT currently covered by a recall. Recommended replacement with short block or USED engine.

My name is [XXX], I am the owner of a 2022 Honda Pilot, and the safety of this vehicle is now of great concern to me. My vehicle has done up to 35,000 mileages. On Friday, [XXX] as I was driving on the highway, this vehicle suddenly stopped without warning. All the lights on the dashboard came up and I received 5 messages indicating that the following had problems: Emission System, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), Electric Power Steering, Transmission System, and Adaptive Cruise Control. This is a very dangerous and life-threatening hard stop that occurred in the middle of the highway, and I had to tow the vehicle to the DACARS Honda Dealership in Bowie, Maryland. I must state that my service history is up to date as of the time of this incident. The dealership carried out a diagnosis and confirmed all the problems from the messages that I received and agreed to fix them because the vehicle is still under Manufacturer's Warranty. I am really concerned about the safety of this vehicle and the lives of other owners and road users who may not be as lucky as I was on [XXX]. I recommend a very detailed safety evaluation on this Model of Honda and if possible, immediately instruct the replacement of all the safety problems/parts listed above pending the outcome of this investigation/evaluation, and ultimately instruct a recall of this model of Honda. Thank you. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On July 8 2024 at approximately 0720 CST I was driving my vehicle on the freeway when I lost ALL acceleration and the car would NOT go above 70MPH. The car continued to decelerate while on the freeway in traffic. The RPM range was 7-8 while it was decelerating and then it went back to "normal" a few minutes later. I then continued my travel to work and about 5 miles away from my work it did it again ON THE FREEWAY. I was able to limp into the Honda Burleson Service Center and there were 3 warning lights on at this point. These warning lights are Brake System Warning Light, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control System Problem.

Vehicle has had issues of complete loss of power while driving and while awaiting at a light even with the fuel saving mode deactivated so that it wouldn't shut off at every stop. Looked for blown fuses, codes or any lose relays but everything appeared good. Both days were clear one day the temperature was 35 degrees and the other day it was 60 degrees the only date I remember is below. There was no crash but had traffic stopped since I couldn't get the vehicle to start at a very busy road and intersection. As a disabled person I can't be exposed to these unsafe conditions since I have serious medical conditions.

On several occasions, while driving, my vehicle would not accelerate when I pressed the gas pedal. It stalls and then bursts forward. I have noticed that it is more prevalent when I drive off. I have taken my car to the dealer service center, and they said they could not replicate the issue. My vehicle is available for inspection upon your request.

I leased a brand new 2022 Honda Pilot and after two weeks of leasing it developed a severe leaking problem with the transmission. The pilot was taken to a local dealer, the local dealer refused service. It was then taken to the original dealer, and the original dealer replaced the transmission. There was some sort of metallurgical fault or defect with the transmission casing, necessitating replacement of the entire transmission. The vehicle had less than 500 miles when this happened.
