FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
All warning lights came on Vehicle stability assist (VSA) Problem, Hill Street Assist Problem, Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) Problem, Power Steering System (EPS) Problem, Emissions System Problem. Car was stalling and sometimes not starting at all. Took it in to the Honda dealer in mid November 2023 and they said it was reporting low fuel pressure but that it was probably low fuel in the tank that caused the issue and not to worry about it since the warning lights were off. After a month, the car stalled while diriving in the middle of the highway and all warning lights came on again. Had trouble starting car again but I was able to drive it my local mechanic which told me I had to replace both fuel pumps since they were the cause of my issues. I ended up getting both pumps replaced at a cost of $2,250.00. After reading about the Honda recall last week for 2017-2020 fuel pumps exhibiting the same symptoms, I dont think it's coincidence that my 2016 Pilot model is also having the same problem.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Components that failed: engine blew up on a Freeway; car experienced oil leaks; air conditioner stopped working; electrical problems- windows and sunroof suddenly open on their own. Facts: In Feb. 2019, I bought a certified preowned 2016 Honda Pilot with 40K miles. I drove it for less than a year before COVID-19 began and I started working from home. Shortly after I bought the car, it started leaking engine oil, which Honda later repaired. In summer 2021, the air conditioner system stopped working. On June 4, 2023, I was driving the vehicle on the 57 Freeway, Northbound, when my engine suddenly blew up and failed in the middle of the Freeway. The sudden engine failure put me and others at risk of serious injury. Since purchasing my car, I had my car regularly serviced by a Honda dealership. After inspecting my car, the Honda dealership said they did not know what caused the engine to blow up. There were no warnings, messages, or other symptoms before the engine failure.

I saw a recall for honda pilots, but the vin numbers were XX1 and GG0. My vin is [XXX] , what is the difference. *The engine failed. Yes available for inspection. *If engine fails while driving on highway. Car completely shut down. * No dealer did not open up engine because I can't afford to pay for them to look and see what happened would cost roughly around 1,000.00. *Dealer looked at it just told me that something is loose in engine. Suggest I put in new or rebuilt engine. * Yes the engine light came on about 30 seconds before car completely shut down. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Additional Notes:
I was sitting at a light. The car started idling funny. Then stalled. Never started again. Dealer is telling me something is loose in the engine.

Honda (american Honda Motor Co.)
Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I have a 2016 Honda Pilot Touring and just recently had to have the engine replaced at 135k miles due to crankshaft failing, causing damage to the engine. This happened before the recall for the crankshaft came out. Honda is trying to say my VIN is not covered. NHTSA recall report states production dates of May 2016-June 2016. Sticker on my Pilot says manufactured 05/16. Can't wait to see how Honda will try to wiggle their way out of reimbursing me for engine replacement.

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
My 2016 Honda Pilot Touring keeps stalling at traffic lights and randomly on the road. We just took it to the dealer last week and received the "we can't replicate the stalling, please bring it back when it happens again." They checked the battery and found it healthy. A couple times, the car has refused to restart until several minutes after the stall and sometimes it has taken several presses of the "Start" button before it finally engages the starter. The car completely shuts down when this occurs. Nothing works.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The dash began displaying 4 error codes EPS problem, VSA problem, Hill Assist problem, and TSA Problem. It began to jerk and lose power similar to running out of gas necessitating hazard lights and pulling off the road x3 after dark. 3 different shops ran a diagnosis code of P0369. The recommendation from Honda after having the car three days was to replace #2 cylinder head assembly at an estimate of $6400! There would also be no guarantee that this repair would fix the problem. The vehicle only has 83,000ish miles. After speaking with American Honda, they were aware of this problem but said my vin number wasn’t included in the pool of “faulty manufactured parts” but did say that didn’t mean that I didn’t get faulty parts though. The vehicle is no longer under warranty. I just paid this vehicle off in May. This certainly doesn’t support Honda’s reputation as being a manufacturer of reliable vehicles. I have never owned a used vehicle that required this depth and cost of repair. I am waiting on their Goodwill Review to see if they decide to help me with this. The two representatives including a case manager I spoke with didn’t seem as though it was likely going to happen.
