2015 Honda Pilot Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“At about 55000 miles my Pilot started jerking/hesitating at all speeds, any road, usually after shifting gears both up and down. Now I bought it in february 2017 certified pre-owned so all recommended scheduled maintenance should have been performed. So, I took it in for diagnosis and the dealer in dublin oh said the transmission fluid needed to be triple flushed flushed 3 times!!! Since I needed a vehicle to drive to work, I couldn't argue and got the service done. After reading of other languages with similar issues with the jerking/stutter/hesitation I decided to file this complaint. …”

“I purchased a new top of the line Honda Pilot ex-l back in 2005. My wife drove it for nine years and took impeccable care of it. I started driving it a year ago when we leased a 2013 cr-v for her. A couple of weeks ago, I was making the three mile journey to work when I noticed that my heat was no longer working. After work, the car had some transmission slip when leaving the parking lot.

The last time oil spotted in spark plug indicating that the piston ring is faulty.”

“Within a few seconds and while applying the brakes, the brakes seem not to engage, but then engage, the engine revs up. The engine stays idled up until the brakes are released. Two occurences happened in one day and doesn't duplicate for the dealership. Two weeks pass and another occurrence happened. The incidents occur while already attempting to brake. The car skidded like the wheels were locked. The first occurrence was when I was stopped to enter a parking garage. …”

“Almost immediately after purchase, notice car shuddering and shaking at 35-50mph and then even higher speed limits. Went to purchasing dealer service department and they told me this is a common problem associated with vcm system. Took car for three subsequent repairs over next year to another Honda dealer. Even after downloading new PCM and vcm / torque management software update provided by Honda, problem still exists. Honda states that they will continue to work on this fix, but corporate now states that this defect is within acceptable operating standards. …”
