WHEN I AM AT A STOPLIGHT AND THE CAR GOES INTO IDLE STOP, IT DOES NOT RESTART AFTER I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE BREAK. I HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND HOLD THE START BUTTON DOWN AS IT STRUGGLES TO TURN OVER. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE CARS BEHIND ME EXPECT ME TO BE MOVING AND I HAVE BEEN ALMOST HIT AS A RESULT. IT USED TO WORK FINE AND RESTART AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE IT. WE TRIED REPLACING THE BATTERY. IT DID IT THAT SAME DAY AFTER I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP.

WHEN I COME TO A STOP, THE AUTO STOP FEATURE TURNS THE ENGINE OFF, IF I TRY TO GO AT THE SAME MOMENT IT TURNS OFF, THE CAR STALLS. IT IS VERY RARE BUT HAS HAPPENED 2-4 TIMES. THE CAR STARTS AGAIN BUT IT TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS.

HONDA PILOT 2016 EMISSION PROBLEM SIGNAL APPEARS ON DASH BOARD, CAR DECREASES IN POWER WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, I SLOWED TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURNING MERGE ONTO ANOTHER HIGHWAY. AS I WAS SLOWING, I GOT A TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WARNING IN THE DASH. WHEN I HIT THE ACCELERATOR TO MERGE SAFELY,THE CAR ABRUPTLY BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED AND MY INPUT TO THE GAS PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WHEN IT CAME TO A STOP, I HEARD A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND HAD IT TOWED TO GARY SMITH HONDA. GARY SMITH FOUND AN ISSUE WITH AN OIL PRESSURE SWITCH BUT THE SERVICE TECH CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

WHILE TRAVELING ON I-95 AT ABOUT 75 MPH, EVERY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND CHANGED INTO NEUTRAL. WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER BUT THE CAR IN PARK. WE DID NOT TURN THE CAR OFF BC WE WANTED A/C AS LONG AS POSSIBLE (OCCURRED ON JUNE IN GA, HOT). THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR SO WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THE FOLLOWING DAY AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WHERE ABLE TO GET AN ERROR CODE TO APPEAR. AFTER CONTACTING AMERICAN HONDA, THE TECHNICIAN WAS TOLD THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. HE WAS TOLD TO CLEAR THE CODE AND IF THE CODE REOCCURRED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BUT IF NOT, THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. WELL, THE CODE WOULD NOT DUPLICATE EVEN AFTER THE DEALERSHIP TRIED FOR MULTIPLE DAYS. WE DROVE BACK TO GA FOR OUR 4 HOUR DRIVE HOME AND PRAYED IT WOULD MAKE IT BACK TO HOME. LUCKILY IT DID; HOWEVER, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS IN LOW GEARS AND WE ARE JUST WAITING ON IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. BY THE WAY THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. IT HAPPENED TWICE IN TOWN DURING THE MONTH OF MAY. THEY DID A SERVICE UPDATE AND REPLACED ALL OF THE FUEL INJECTORS (OUT OF POCKET AS IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY). IT IS REALLY TROUBLESOME THAT HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND I PERSONALLY HAD THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES & HAVE A CAR WITH A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THE LAST OCCURRENCE WAS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AS WE HAD OUR FAMILY & DOG AND STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR OVER 2 HOURS IN TRYING TO GET THE CAR TOWED. PLEASE AMERICAN HONDA FIX THIS ISSUE.

9 SPEED TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 2X. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, HAD TO PULL OVER TO SHOULDER WITH NO POWER. VERY DANGEROUS. HONDA IS REPLACING TRANSMISSION WITH 48K MILES ON CAR. THEY ARE NOT EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION.

THE TRUCK ACCELERATED DOWNHILL WITH A JERKING PUSH. IT JERKS A LOT WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. IT ALSO HESITATES TO GO AFTER MAKING A STOP. THIS IS A SAFER HAZARD. WHEN TH VEHICLE IS MOVING A SLOW SPEED, IT IS SLUGGISH, JERKY. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM, BUT THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR IT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE W

MY 2016 HONDA PILOT WITH 32K ON THE ODOMETER HAS MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. IT JERKS / SLIPS ON ACCELERATION AND DOWNSHIFTS WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP. I AM BRINGING IT IN FOR SERVICE BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ FROM OTHER OWNERS THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH HONDA.

I WAS DRIVING AT 75MPH ON A HEAVILY CONGESTED AREA OF THE INTERSTATE. VEHICLE WAS RUNNING NORMAL, THEN THE EMISSIONS LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY 'TRANSMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM' AND I LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE, DESPITE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT UP OR DOWN AND I NARROWLY MISSED BEING IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT AS I FOUGHT TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. ONCE IN PARK, THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND THEN REVVED AT A RAPID RATE. I WAS AFRAID IT WOULD DAMAGE THE MOTOR SO I SHUT IT OFF. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, APPARENTLY THERE IS A WELL KNOWN TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE.

OIL LEAKING UNDERNEATH CAR. THIS SHOWS UP AS A PUDDLE IN MY GARAGE - IT'S A SLOW LEAK. I THINK IT'S PROBABLY THE SAME ISSUE AS WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE OTHER 2016 HONDA PILOTS AND THE SEAL ON THE OIL CONTAINER, BUT MY SPECIFIC CAR HASN'T BEEN FLAGGED.

VEHICLE GOES INTO "LIMP MODE" WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. YOU CANNOT SHIFT OR ACCELERATE. INDICATOR FLASHES EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM, TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, AWD PROBLEM ALONG WITH MULTIPLE LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS HONDA ADVISES CODES WERE CLEARED AND CONTACT THEM AGAIN IF PROBLEMS REOCCURS. THIS IS THE SECOND 2016 PILOT ELITE WE HAVE OWNED WITH THIS PROBLEM!

I STOPPED THE CAR TO LET PEDESTRIAN CROSS THE CROSSWALK AND THE VEHICLE WAS JUMPING AHEAD WHILE MY LEG IS ON THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN. THE INDECENT WAS IN A CITY STREET. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT TWO ADDITIONAL INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE STOPPING IN A STOP SIGN AND RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. FOURTH INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN A HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED ON ITS OWN ON FROM 65 MPH, WENT FROM D DRIVE TO N.

I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT, PUT THE CAR INTO PARK, AND THEN THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AT AN EXTREMELY POWERFUL SPEED. THE CAR STRUCK A CYPRESS TREE CAUSING $7,500 DAMAGE ON MY CAR.

I GOT PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION WITH GRINDING GEAR WHEN I USE ECO ON AND NOW MY TRANSMISSION MAKE WHISTLE NOISE WHEN CHANGE SHIFT FROM 2 TO 3 AND 3 TO 4. I WOULD LIKE AMERICAN HONDA RESPONSIBILITY WITH TRANSMISSION NEW HONDA PILOT 2016 AND THEY SHOULD BE RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION. NOW I FEEL NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS NOISE.

PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION MAKING "SQUEAKING/CHIRPING" NOISE WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN 2ND & 3RD GEAR. ALSO ROUGH RIDE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS IF ENGINE WAS MISFIRING. LOCAL HONDA DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INDICATED DESIGN FLAW FOR 2016 HONDA PILOT TOURING MODEL INVOLVING TRANSMISSION COOLER. SEALS FAIL IN COOLER ALLOWING ENGINE COOLANT TO MIX WITH TRANMISSION FLUID AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO ENTER COOLING SYSTEM. COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACMENT AND COOLING SYSTEM DETERGENT FLUSHED WAS PERFORMED. VEHICLE HAD 37,009 MILES WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER...JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. DEALER COMPLETED REPAIRS FOR NO COST AS "GOOD WILL GESTURE". ONGOING CONCERN THAT OIL CONTAMINATION IN COOLING SYSTEM MAY HAVE CAUSED UNKNOWN DAMAGE.

WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A COUNTRY ROAD, WARNING MESSAGES CAME ON STATING THAT THE CAR SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN, AND THEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. CAR COASTED TO A STOP. COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR FOR 5 OR 10 MINUTES, BUT IT FINALLY STARTED AGAIN. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TWICE, THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT COOLANT HAD MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID, THUS THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED.

2016 HONDA PILOT TOURING - CHIRPING SOUND APPEARED AT 19,000 MILES FOLLOWED BY SHUDDERING AND DIFFICULTY SHIFTING BETWEEN 28-32 MPH. GOT DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALERSHIP - TRANSMISSION COOLING UNIT FAILED, LEAKING TRANSMISSION COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION UNIT. DEALER IS CURRENTLY REPLACING WITH A REMANUFACTURED PART. THE TRANSMISSION MANUFACTURER ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AG HAS RECALLED THE TRANSMISSIONS. HONDA USA IS NOW RESPONSIBLE TO RECALL THE VEHICLES WHICH THEY HAVE NOT DONE. HONDA IS UNSYMPATHETIC AND CAN ONLY RECITE THE WARRANTY. I FEEL MY VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE VALUE HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY IMPACTED.

VEHICLE MILEAGE 12500 MILES TRANSMISSION REPLACED, BUT THE NEW TRANSMISSION IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE FIRST. CHIRPING AND GRINDING WHEN SHIFT UP OR DOWN FROM 3 TO 4 OR AT 30 MILES PER HOUR WHILE MOVING. *TR

THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING NOISES WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AND THE LOCAL DEALER ASKED ME TO STOP BY A WEEK LATER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THIS MADE ME BELIEVE THAT IT MAY NOT BE A BIG ISSUE AS THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT FIND IT ALARMING AFTER KNOWING ABOUT THE SYMPTOMS THE CAR WAS DISPLAYING. WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE NEXT DAY, THE DASHBOARD STARTED DISPLAYING ERROR MESSAGES LIKE EMISSION ERROR AND TRANSMISSION ERROR, STARTED JERKING AND SLOWED DOWN ABRUPTLY COMING ALMOST TO A HALT. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH 70 MPH AS MAX SPEED, I MANAGED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE AND ON THE SHOULDER. I WAS TRAVELING WITH FAMILY, INCLUDING CHILDREN, AND IT WAS A VERY AGONIZING EXPERIENCE. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I LEFT THE VEHICLE FIXED THE ISSUE BY REPLACING A CAP WHICH WAS CAUSING LEAK FROM THE TRANSMISSION. PART NUMBER 06233-5J4-000 WAS REPLACED.
