Defect Description:
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I was at a stop light and my car cycled off as it does when I am stopped and then it did not start back up. It stalled and the dash told me to put the car in park and press the start button and the brake. I tried it several times before it started back up. Very dangerous situation. I had been noticing prior to this that it would hesitate to restart and my car would ding like it does when the light comes on for a service notification. But it would start - this was the first time that it stalled.

The car did not auto restart when it shut off at a stop. I had to put the car into park and press the engine start button again. Supposedly there had been a software update done a few thousand miles ago but the car has shut off and not restarted 3x in the last 2 weeks so issue isn't fixed

During acceleration, the car will jolt forward, also when using the brakes. The dealer did recognize the problem but said it is not covered by warranty and that transmission needed to be flushed… which was going to cost $740 and parts extra. After initial diagnostics recommended to flush transmission fluid 3 times. For even Diagnose they charged me $179 . I Have done maintenance on time Transmission fluid was change before 30000 miles for the first time and now they are asking to flush it 3 times ,As per Honda Manual recommendation every 30000 miles we need to change Transmission fluid .

I restarted the car and made it home fine. Drove the car the next day for several stops (street and highway driving), then the same thing happened at a stop light and it restarted and I made it home fine. The third day there were no problems while driving 30+ miles streets and highway. The fourth day, drove about 15 miles to work and all was fine. Drove about 13 miles street and highway just fine. Ran an errand and car would not restart. Pressing the engine start button resulting in clicking but not engine start, headlight flashing, and the dashboard behind steering flashing various warning messages (cycled through several as I held the start button down, collision, braking system failure, power steering, etc.) but never started. Let it rest for ~3 hours and still would not start, same result with clicking and flashing headlights and warning messages.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
My car is fairly new (2019 Hond Pilot EXL with 43K miles) but recently "Emissions Systems Problem" warning came up. I was going to take it to service center for diagnostic but the warning went away. I though it was just temporary issue but after some time warning is showing up again. I see some of the VIN with the same year and model were included in fuel injector fix for this warning by the Honda but my VIN is not included. I think this is not that old of a car and Honda needs to address this safety issue and my VIP should be included to fix by Honda with no cost. Thanks. Kumar

I though it was just temporary issue but after some time warning is showing up again. I see some of the VIN with the same year and model were included in fuel injector fix for this warning by the Honda but my VIN is not included. I think this is not that old of a car and Honda needs to address this safety issue and my VIP should be included to fix by Honda with no cost. Thanks. Kumar
Additional Notes:
My car is fairly new (2019 Hond Pilot EXL with 43K miles) but recently "Emissions Systems Problem" warning came up. I was going to take it to service center for diagnostic but the warning went away.

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
Transmission jerking/hard shifting. Loses acceleration, especially when approaching a yield or left turn (I.e. slowing down then accelerating to make the turn, car stalls when accelerating) When taken to 2 different dealerships I was told they couldn’t diagnose problem and at the second one I was mansplained that it was probably “user error” bc it’s a “computerized transmission”. Informed them this was the third vehicle I’ve had with this type of transmission, one of which whose transmission broke and I’m fully aware of what a jerking, stalling and improperly functioning transmission felt like. Needless to say, no one would “diagnose” the problem and it has progressively gotten worse. More jerky, harder shifting. Can feel it sitting at an idle stop and sometimes when I press the gas pedal to accelerate it’s a good 2-3 seconds before the vehicle jerks into motion. I also have a video of the RPMs dropping for no reason at 30 MPH when the speed did not drop.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
While waiting at a busy intersection, waiting to turn left, the idle stop malfunctioned and the engine would not restart. I was left in the middle of a busy intersection with my son in the car. After 20 minutes I finally disconnected and reconnected the battery in order to get the car out of the intersection. I have had this problem for the past 4 years and have been given different possible solutions over the years. They've told me it was a software problem, then they told me I should stop connecting my phone to the car, then I was told I needed a new battery. Obviously none of those "fixes" have worked. I have an appointment later this week to address this latest incident. There were no warning messages before the failure but now there is a "remote starter" warning, the heat and A/C no longer turn on and my seats no longer move.
