2017 Honda Pilot Other Problems

Your car loses acceleration when you press the gas pedal at highway speeds (65+ mph), forcing you to coast across multiple lanes to pull over safely. The engine also dies at traffic lights if you don't hold the accelerator down while starting. While the issue sometimes resolves on its own after 20-30 seconds, the unpredictable power loss creates a serious safety risk during highway driving. Diagnosis will likely involve checking the fuel system, ignition system, and engine computer for sensor or fuel delivery problems.

Issue : Engine Idle Restart malfunction Incident Description: I was driving my Honda [Model, Year] when I encountered a serious safety issue related to the Engine Idle Auto Start-Stop system. While stopped in traffic at a red light, the auto start-stop feature engaged and turned off the engine as expected.

The start/stop mechanism is believed to be not working properly at all times. The car will turn off when we are at a stop or red light and we hit the gas to go, the car turns off. When the car turns off we are left at the light or stop while the rest of the cars go.

On [XXX] I was traveling south on [XXX] from Omaha, NE to Bella Vista, AR.

I thought I had blown a tire but had no problems steering the vehicle.

While driving at normal speed car suddenly is unresponsive (will not accelerate, looses power, and is jumpy). The computer triggers a limp mode and alerts every code possible on the dash screen, even though all mechanical parts are fine. This computer/electric failure is a risk that is so unpredictable may cause life threatening accident.

On three separate occasions, the idol stop/start feature has failed requiring me to manually restart the car. Most recently, it took several attempts to restart before ignition fired all while holding up traffic on a busy street. During failed attempts to restart, it made a sound like it was attempting to restart but didn't have enough power.

The car had 49,400 miles on it when I decided to take a trip to see a friend in NC from NY about 3 hours into my trip a transmission temperature to high light came on.

Your camshaft may have excessive front-to-back movement due to a manufacturing defect in the thrust cover's surface finish.
