2016 Honda Pilot Fuel System Problems

While driving on the highway, your car's accelerator stopped responding and the engine lost power, causing you to pull over. Multiple warning lights appeared on the dashboard including check engine, stability control, and emission system lights. After restarting, the car only drove at 30-40 mph while shaking. A diagnostic later revealed a fuel pressure pump fault (code P0087). The repair likely involves replacing or servicing the fuel pressure pump to restore proper fuel delivery to your engine.

Failure causing an engine cylinder misfire, flooding and possibly prevent the engine from running.

For the last few months we have been smelling fuel in the cabin when driving at slow speeds. Also when the fuel tank is topped off, we smell fuel when parked in the garage for 1 to 2 days afterwards. Took the vehicle to independent shop who advised they see signs of small fuel run-off from top side of tank.

Car started surging while driving in rush hour traffic was very scary and almost caused me to be rear ended at a high speed.

Fuel pump inside the fuel tank failed while driving and caused my engine to stall and almost causing an accident in the highway. Several 2016 Pilots had a recall but my specific VIN does not show in the recall even though I had an issue with the Fuel Pump in 2023.

I was driving on the interstate last March of 2024. I have a Honda Pilot 2016. Im going 70 miles an hour or so and my engine just stalls and quits.

Our Honda Pilot 2016 starting experiencing fuel surging issues in July 2018 and was taken to our nearest Honda Dealership on 7/03/18 in The Dalles, Oregon. Honda stated it was a code C1841-27 which was repaired with no mention of fuel injector extended warranty issues, document included. On September 23, 2023 my car stopped functioning on a busy road way and was brought into our local mechanic.

My car got recall from Honda on:  P0420 (rear bank catalyst system efficiency below threshold [bank 1])  P0430 (front bank catalyst system efficiency below threshold [bank 2])  P0300-P0306 (misfire)  P219A (air-fuel ratio variation of cylinder [bank 1, rear bank])  P219B (air-fuel ratio variation of cylinder [bank 2, front bank]) but they fixed for P219A, and P219B only, now it still got issue on P0420 ( Catalyc conventer issue)

The fuel tank leaks when it become near full which could put me and others at risk of fire. The vehicle hasn't been inspected and I notice this safety defect when I refill the gas tank

The components that have failed are the fuel injectors and catalytic converter. This is according to the Honda dealerships diagnostics. Whenever I press the gas the car hesitates, shudders, shakes, and wont accelerate.

My 2016 honda pilot was only 2 years old when I began having problems with it.

Our fuel pump went out, causing us to be stranded and having to have our Honda Pilot toward 45 minutes away to the Honda dealer to have it replaced.

We turned our car off, then when we turned it back everything kept flashing, many warning lights at once.

A known TSB# 18-025 (fuel injector problem) was outside our warranty and honda would not replace it. Due to the fuel injector issue the vehicle burns excessive amounts of gasoline per tank. I have recorded approximately 160 miles per tank of fuel.

The fuel injectors failed just before 70,000 miles on my 2016 pilot and had to be replaced at a cost of $1000. After some research, I have discovered this is a ridiculously common occurrence on the 2016 pilot; so common that I cannot believe honda hasn't done anything about it. The fuel injectors should not be failing...period.

My wife was driving the 2016 pilot back home one afternoon(8/15/2019) and she saw the emissions system problem light came on. The miles are exactly 52500(3.5 years of ownership).

At just over 70k miles, I get the dreaded "emissions system problem" when I start my car the other morning. I immediately take it to a honda dealership for diagnosis and I am told I will need all 6 fuel injectors replaced.

Emissions system error displayed on the dashboard while driving. Next day I took to the dealer and he said that there is an issue with the fuel injectors and the whole fuel injector unit should be replaced. Since my vehicle is out of 3 yr/36000 miles warranty, the dealer quoted $1700 to replace the fuel injectors.

Fragments from the manufacturing process of fuel injectors are clogging the fuel system and cause failure for a properly running engine. Accelerating especially is worrisome as the engine is misfiring. American honda motor company is aware and has a TSB for this.

After fueling, no topping off, drips or leaks, very strong gas odor in interior. So strong couldn't drive. Had to leave it sit with open windows.

Cabin fills-up with gasoline fumes when at rest/ide/not moving. Fumes come from air vents and only happens when pulling air from outside. No gasoline smell occurs when air system is in re-circulation mode.

As you accelerate, the car goes in and out of getting fuel to the engine. The RPM’s drop and increase at least 1,000 rpms each second. Vehicle is in motion.

The vehicle starts to stutter while driving down the street. In addition, while driving the RPM gauge fluctuates going down the highway while maintaining speed. Brought vehicle in to honda dealership they diagnosed the problem as fuel injector failed and it wasn't the first time of them hearing about this problem.

2016 honda had recall for fuel tank leakage. My VIN out of that range but I notice recently my honda pilot 2016 have leakage too. When fueling I saw underneath car there's fuel dropping.

Vehicle's motor stopped running in traffic

High pressure and low pressure fuel pumps were defective.

There is an emissions warning system that pops. Upon diagnosis, it is determined that the fuel injectors need replacement (all 6 of them) because the parts were manufactured with contaminants in them. There was no recall and due to the nature of the incident, it is NOT covered by an warranties once you pass a certain mileage (80,000, I believe).

Fuel lid keep looked or can't be closed.

My 2016 honda pilot is giving me problems on filling up my gas tank. My car has 46000 mile and I don't think any parts are damaged cause it only 5 yes old. I tried looking for answers in the web but no one had a clue yet there was lots of people familiar with this problem.

Car hesitates from 0 MPH while revs are increasing on highway or city streets and while gears are changing or when acceleration is requested then the engine feels like it's hesitant to increase power. Also when going uphill or on inclined bridges on cruise control it hesitates to maintain speed and feel like its jumping forward.

The fuel emissions system light keeps coming on.

Emission issue started showing as a warning sign. And, it comes and goes to even properly report the issue. However, after 3 years mark (42,ooo miles) it showed all the possible signs on the screen.

The systems emission light continues to come on and off. Also the car seems to have trouble with receiving fuel correctly and the car seems to hesitate about when accelerating. Known problem with the fuel injectors on the 2016 pilot but mine was not part of the recall for some reason.

My car is at 37,000 miles (of course just over the 36,000 mile warranty) and now has fuel injector failure. Car is hesitating and sputtering during acceleration on any road. The failure in our fuel injectors has caused transmission fluid to become dirty and is making the car drive stutter and hesitate during acceleration and deceleration.
