Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We were told by several service technicians at the wolfchase Honda in bartlett, tn that there was a recall on all 2010 Honda pilots, (ours is a touring fwd), due to a miss-firing issue. We purchased our Pilot 9/2015 and repeatedly reported that the car was miss-firing, which caused the check engine light to appear. When we took it in for oil changes, the techs would tell us to do a gas treatment, such as lucas (they did it once themselves), or to change the air and cabin filters. We did that, and the problem persisted. …”
NHTSA complaint #11281312, filed 2019-11, 100,000 miles“Driving along at normal highway speeds and the emission management indicator light started blinking. Took vehicle to Honda dealership for inspection and found out that there was a software update needed for the fuel management control systems as Honda was getting multiple complaints of early spark plug fouling due to incorrect management of the eco drive state. We found out that we had lost 4 out of 6 cylinders due to the spark plugs being fouled. …”
NHTSA complaint #10533840, filed 2013-08, 48,400 miles“Blinking check engine light, van-4 and vsa light are all on. I went to get a code and it was a misfire. This happened the past summer and I got it replaced. Happened again a few weeks later and they fixed it. Every since then it happens from time to time. I looked this up on the internet and it said Honda was fixing the issue free of charge 2017 and earlier. I didn't purchase my vehicle until october of 2017. And was told none of this.”
