SUSPENSION

Potential Consequences:

A few years ago I was told my fuel injectors needed to be replaced. Last month, I was told that my suspension needed to be replaced and it wore out. Shortly after that my struts were leaking and making noise. I do not drive my car over rough terrain, just regular street driving and I get my vehicle maintained regularly.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

Our 2016 Honda Pilot suddenly lost power on [XXX] and simultaneously developed a loud knocking sound coming from the engine on Monday ([XXX]) evening sometime between 7 and 8 PM. My son who was driving the vehicle was lucky to avoid an accident because it was difficult to pull to the right side of the road as there were fast-moving cars merging onto [XXX] from the westbound lanes of [XXX] . He pulled onto the right shoulder of [XXX] at just about [XXX], [XXX] . My other son and I drove to him. I was able to start the car but the knocking sound was still there and the engine struggled to stay on. I drove 0.5 miles safely and slowly (20-25 mph) to Midas at 1410 S. Nevada Ave. Midas diagnosed the vehicle with "a bad engine rod knock and main bearing squeak" that they could not fix. We had the vehicle towed to Corwin Honda in Colorado Springs on [XXX]. Honda technicians diagnosed the problem as connecting rod bearing failure. They recommended an engine replacement. There were recalls for the exact problem of our vehicle but our VIN was not part of the recall. We contacted Corporate Honda but they would not assist with any repairs and denied manufacturer responsibility for the connecting rod bearing failure.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

the engine had a rod fail while driving and destroyed the engine with no warning. This happened November 2023, about 2 weeks after the recall from Honda for some 249,000 vehicles for this exact issue. they told me it was not included in the recall. My son was driving home from a school activity when this happened. It just stopped working and slowing down. It was a dangerous situation for him. My mechanic inspected it confirming the rod failed. There were no warnings lamps or messages that ever appeared before it happened. I ended up selling the vehicle for scraps but want to hold Honda accountable now that I have seen what happened. I want them to make me whole for the FMV of my vehicle which i lost when this happened. Please help!

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

We have had consistent, non-stop, unknown and unresolved engine issues from the day we purchased this vehicle. The dealership has not been able to identify or resolve these issues, which include the Rocker Arm, Cam Shaft and Cam Shaft sensors, numerous electrical, fuse and sensor failures and more. The symptoms appear to be the same as those cited with the connecting rod bearing issues but for some reason our vehicle has not fallen under the recalls.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

The component that failed was the connector rod bearing in cylinder 4. It is not available for inspection. Our safety was put at risk because the connector rod bearing failed while my family and I were driving at 80mph (legal freeway speed) on the freeway. We lost power and the engine shuddered and the car shook while we navigated to the shoulder. The vehicle was inspected by the independent service center. There were no symptoms that I noticed prior to the failure. It was sudden, and occurred on my Pilot on just 112,546 miles. The problem was confirmed by an independent service center.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

Connecting rod failure, needs complete engine rebuild. 102,0000 miles. I was able to exit the highway and get to the dealership so there wasn’t a safety issue for me. I saw that this issue was a recall but my vehicle was not on the list so I thought I would submit. Dealership said I need a new engine. I bought it in 2020 at a dealership as a certified used Honda. I have service history with the dealership. No explanation was given as to what caused this. Check engine light started flashing and lost some power on the highway.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

Been having engine issues for a while. All the way back to around 32,000 miles. The display says something about rods locker arms or something like that. I've also had an issue with throttle position sensor which was repaired however technician didn't tighten up a boat and I lost the oil pressure. The car was repaired at the end of 2017 in the beginning of 2018 but I've had the issue ever since so I typically don't drive the car too far since that incident. Some of the repairs should be in the Carfax however issue shows up from time to time on my display. I've also had to have some steering control module replaced in 2021. And I just got a transmission service to have the torque converter flush and reprogrammed because of constant jerking when accelerating.
