Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
While stopped at a red light, the engine would completely shut off. I had to restart the car and it would take multiple attempts to turn it back on. The first time it happened, I thought it was a battery issue. But I had since changed the battery and the problem still occurs. It seems to happen when the idle mode is not turned off. This is dangerous as it could cause an accident to have your car suddenly stop working in the middle of traffic.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
My husband and daughter were driving on the freeway normal speed limit, and the liftgate glass blew out. The car is not even 7000 miles, nothing hit it. After doing a little bit of research I came across posts where some people have had issues with other Honda models and the company does not cover glass under warranty. Lucky my daughter was not sitting at the back otherwise she would have been hurt with the flying glass. I feel this needs to be looked into further.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: CAMERA SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed the contact noticed the rearview camera was showing a blank screen and would sporadically on its own. This disables the rearview camera and most other electronic systems in the vehicle. The contact stated the failure occurred several times. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer where they informed the contact of a recall on the vehicle NHTSA campaign number: 20V439000 (back over prevention, electrical system) and performed the recall repair for the failure but that did not fix the failure. The contact took the vehicle to multiple dealers to have it inspected but could not diagnose the cause of the failure. The connectors and wiring are so sub-par that even the small amount of pressure on them caused by routine on-road driving is enough to cause them to disconnect the entire Infotainment system. In short, the vehicle cannot currently be repaired by any Honda dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximate 12,500 when the problem initially began. The vehicle currently has 27,000 miles. The infotainment system failure violates 2 Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, FMVSS numbers 101 "Control and Displays" and 111 "Rearview Mirrors". Based on the information the contact has seen and learned from various Honda dealers, The Honda Motor Company is aware of this design flaw, as it has affected thousands of their vehicles. The Honda Pilot and the Honda Odyssey are the primary vehicles affected, but multiple other vehicles have also been affected. This can be easily supported by a simple search of the Internet. This failure is extremely dangerous. It has the very real potential to cause injury and death and needs to be corrected as soon as possible.

Potential Consequences:
my 2019 honda pilot's front panels lights goes off while driving. It includes radio screen, AC and other accessories button lights, and speedometer and other gauges. I went to dealership twice. First time they mentioned that it could be software issue and they updated the software. But that didn't resolve the issue and I had the same problem. Honda knew this fault in many other vehicle and they sent out a notice to get changed the MOST cord. Got changed it on May 29, but again it happened on June 21. This issue happens when I drive my vehicle more than 10-12 miles continuously. This is a serious safety issue as the speedometer and other gauges shut down and could be dangerous while on highways. Also, the sudden shut down of info system's light changes the interior ambient lighting and could be a possible cause of an accident while driving at high speed.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Engine knock occurs at low rpm’s while under load. Was informed by a Honda Dealership Service Advisor that this is a known issue with 2019+ Earth Dreams V6 engines, and they have had a number of owners report the problem. The Service Advisor also informed me that Honda told his dealership the issue is caused by a faulty main engine bearing however, to date, Honda has not taken any formal action. A main bearing failure can cause catastrophic engine failure which would increase the risk of a crash.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
On 4-30-21, my 2019 Honda Pilot was repaired per recall for sudden loud speaker popping. I'd complained about that issue since buying the car. I'd also complained since purchase about frequent false collision mitigation system errors some of which engaged the brakes. On Monday May 3, 2021 I was on a highway off-ramp going about 30 MPH when my steering wheel suddenly locked up, the collision mitigation system sounded, the brakes engaged, and the car began to swerve into the oncoming lane over the double yellow lines. I was momentarily unable to drive back into my own lane because the steering wheel was locked. A few seconds later, the car went back to normal and I was able to put my blinker on and pull over into the breakdown lane. I was very frightened so I took a few minutes to calm down. Luckily, there were no oncoming vehicles and no one behind me when it happened. On May 5, 2021 I was driving my vehicle on I-95 at approximately the speed limit of 65 MPH when the steering wheel again locked up, the brakes briefly auto-engaged, and the a/c unit shut off. I was in heavy traffic and was immediately concerned I would be rear-ended and/or drift into another lane causing an accident. Luckily, the steering wheel unlocked within a few seconds and the brakes stopped engaging. I was able to regain control before there was an accident. Shortly thereafter, I had the car serviced at the dealership. The mechanics said the sensor was slightly off but that didn't explain the steering wheel locking up and other symptoms. At my insistence, they dug further and consulted Honda mechanics. That research pointed them to the battery. They fixed a loose battery terminal and said that could explain the issues I was having. I learned by my own research that 2019 Honda Odysseys had a recall for a similar issue. The dealership indicated they were doing me a favor to "help you out" and this was a one-time thing. I would have to pay for any future work or escalate to Honda.

On May 5, 2021 I was driving my vehicle on I-95 at approximately the speed limit of 65 MPH when the steering wheel again locked up, the brakes briefly auto-engaged, and the a/c unit shut off. I was in heavy traffic and was immediately concerned I would be rear-ended and/or drift into another lane causing an accident. Luckily, the steering wheel unlocked within a few seconds and the brakes stopped engaging. I was able to regain control before there was an accident. Shortly thereafter, I had the car serviced at the dealership. The mechanics said the sensor was slightly off but that didn't explain the steering wheel locking up and other symptoms. At my insistence, they dug further and consulted Honda mechanics. That research pointed them to the battery. They fixed a loose battery terminal and said that could explain the issues I was having. I learned by my own research that 2019 Honda Odysseys had a recall for a similar issue. The dealership indicated they were doing me a favor to "help you out" and this was a one-time thing. I would have to pay for any future work or escalate to Honda.
Additional Notes:
On 4-30-21, my 2019 Honda Pilot was repaired per recall for sudden loud speaker popping. I'd complained about that issue since buying the car. I'd also complained since purchase about frequent false collision mitigation system errors some of which engaged the brakes. On Monday May 3, 2021 I was on a highway off-ramp going about 30 MPH when my steering wheel suddenly locked up, the collision mitigation system sounded, the brakes engaged, and the car began to swerve into the oncoming lane over the double yellow lines. I was momentarily unable to drive back into my own lane because the steering wheel was locked. A few seconds later, the car went back to normal and I was able to put my blinker on and pull over into the breakdown lane. I was very frightened so I took a few minutes to calm down.
