“Check engine light for emissions system problem. Code p219a came up. They ended up having to replaced the fuel injectors at 25,400 miles. Our warranty is up in march. I called Honda to see if they would still fix the issue after the warranty is up. They advised that any issues would be an out of pocket expense. They are aware it is a known issue with 2016-2018 pilots.”
NHTSA complaint #11363119, filed 2020-10, 25,400 miles“I got a warning on my dashboard says emissions system problem my vehicle has only 58k miles on it. I checked the recall but is not there. I chat one of the agent renee' told me to file complaint if I want. Is my vehicle still under warranty for this issue? Thank you.”
NHTSA complaint #11404443, filed 2021-03, 58,000 miles“Occasionally when stopped at a red light the car's auto engine cut off during idle will not restart as it should when I try to go. I must then put the car in park, wait 2-3 minutes, then it will finally restart. I took it to my dealership who told me they were aware of the problem and did not know how it could be fixed. Stalling at a red light while cars are beeping is dangerous and can cause an accident or road rage. Please help.”
NHTSA complaint #11378435, filed 2020-12, 38,000 miles“I take my 3 year old, 60k mile Honda Pilot in for emissions system problem light. I am presented with the following fault codes: 19-072 mil comes on with DTC p0430 or DTC p0430 with p030x, p219a, p219b (with software update) - include all parts from bulletin I need a full fuel injector replacement at the cost of $2,000. This is clearly an issue with the 2016-2018 Pilot, but Honda has issued no recalls. Fuel injectors failing at 20-70k miles?!”
NHTSA complaint #11306147, filed 2020-01, 55,000 miles“Auto idle stopped engine waiting in traffic and then it would not restart. I took my foot off the brake, pressed the gas and nothing would work. Eventually, I was able to get the vehicle in park, turn it off and then turn it back on.”
