I immediately drove to nearest Gwinnett place Honda. The dealer found the second cylinder misfired and replaced piston rings 1-3.

   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.

6. Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 20, 2019

   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. UPON EACH OIL CHANGE, THE DEALERSHIP WOULD JUST RESET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TELL US NOTHING ELSE WAS WRONG. WE HAVE SINCE CHECKED FOR COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB, AND SAW THAT NUMEROUS CONSUMERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE & A LAW SUIT SETTLEMENT . WE HAVE CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA, AND NOW THAT THE RECALL IS OUT OF THEIR TIMEFRAME FOR REPAIRS, (ENDED 10/2017) THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEM EVEN BEFORE THE RECALL PERIOD ENDED, BUT ALL THEY DID WAS A "QUICK FIX" OF CHANGING THE SPARK PLUGS TO "APPEAR" TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THERE HAVE BEEN UNEXPECTED "SURGES" OF THE ENGINE WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD'VE INJURED OR KILLED OUR FAMILY, WHICH INCLUDES 2 ELEMENTARY AGED CHILDREN. THEY NEVER DID THE SECOND STEP OF REPLACING THE PISTON RINGS IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTED, BECAUSE OF THE RECALL DATE. THIS WAS BY DESIGN SO THE BUYER WOULD HAVE TO EAT THE COST ($2448 + TAX). AMERICAN HONDA AND WOLFCHASE HONDA (DEALERSHIP), KNEW ABOUT THE RECALL ON THIS MODEL OF PILOT, EVEN AT PURCHASE TIME, BUT DID NOT TELL US, NOR DID AMERICAN HONDA EVER SEND A RECALL NOTICE FOR IT. ALTHOUGH THEY DID SEND ONE FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAGS THAT WAS ALL OVER THE NEWS. SINCE APPARENTLY, THE MEDIA HASN'T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, HONDA DECIDED TO JUST IGNORE IT AND DENY ANY CLAIMS HONDA CONSUMERS HAVE.

OBVIOUSLY IF THE ENGINE GET SO LOW ON OIL IT CAN BE CATASTROPHIC AND IF THAT HAPPENS AT SPEED THEN IT COULD BE DEADLY.

    AT 7:15AM IN A PUBLIC PARKING LOT OF A STRIP MALL SETUP, I APPROACHED A PARKING PLACE BUT FIRST LETTING AN EMPLOYEE OF PANERA BREAD CROSS IN FRONT OF ME BEFORE I APPROACHED THE SPACE. UPON APPROACHING I WAS GLIDING IN USING THE BRAKE TO SLOW ME WHEN ALL AT ONCE THE ENGINE REVED WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE ACCELERATING ME AND THE VEHICHLE INTO A TREE 8 FEET PAST THE PARKING SPACE, DEPLOYING THE AIR BAG AND BOUNCING ME BACK AROUND 16 FEET. THE VEHICHLE HAD AT LEAST ACCELERATED TO 20MPH TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT HAD HAPPEND. MY HUSBAND HAD TOLD ME AS WELL AS THE OFFICER AT THE SCENE, THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED TO HIM 3 TIMES IN THE RECENT PAST ON A GRADUATED INTENSITY. I SUFFERED HAND LACERATIONS AS WELL AS FOREHEAD WITH CHEST BRUISING FROM THE SEAT BELT AND A HAND BURN FROM THE DEPLOYED AIR BAG. I ALSO HAD A SLIGHTLY BLEEDING LIP AND WAS RELEASED AT THE SCENE FROM THE AMBULANCE WITH A STRONG SUGGESTION TO FOLLOW UP IF NECESSARY. IT IS A SHAME THAT YOUR OWN INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD RATHER LOOK THE OTHER WAY THEN GET INVOLVED AND ATTORNEYS ONLY WANT "SEVERE" HOSPITAL RIDDEN PATIENTS TO MOVE FORWARD ON A CASE. MY INSURANCE COMPANY WANTS TO FIX THE HONDA PILOT AND PUT ME BACK BEHIND THE WHEEL. I HAD SPOKEN WITH ONE INDIVIDUAL WHO WORKS ON HONDA'S AT A HONDA GARAGE AND ISN'T IT INTERESTING HE SUGGEST IT MAY BE A SENSOR OR ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE ACCELERATION SYSTEM......BUT ODDLY ENOUGH, HE HASN'T HEARD OF THIS EITHER, BUT UPON RESEARCH, I'VE FOUND IT ALL OVER THE INTERNET.

FRONT BUSHINGS NEED REPLACED AT 76,000 MILES AND DEALER SAID THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE HYDROLICS CONTROLING THE TIMING BELT WHICH WILL LEAD TO POSSIBLE ENGING REPLACEMENT. DEALER QUOTED $2500 TO FIX. THE INFORMATION ON THE BUSHINGS AND TIMING BELT WAS DISCOVERED WHILE HAVE THE AIR BAG REPLACED. ALSO, THERE WAS ANOTHER CUSTOMER THAT GOT THE SAME NEWS ON HIS CAR. AFTER LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINTS THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS WHICH HONDA DOES NOT HELP WITH AND YOU DON'T KNOW IF THE SAME PROBLEM WILL REOCCUR IF YOU DO FIX. IT DOES APPEAR TO BE A MANUFACTURING/ENGINEERING PROBLEM THAT HONDA KNOWS WELL BUT THERE IS NO HELP FOR THE CUSTOMER. THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO BE LOOKING FOR THESE KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR MORE PROFIT POTIENTAL. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL SERVICED AND USED FOR MOSTLY LONG ROAD TRIPS. HONDA NEEDS TO FESS UP AND HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS SINCE THESE TYPE OF PROBLEMS/FAILURES CAN BE VERY DANGERIOUS TO THE PASSANGERS WHILE DRIVING NOT TO MENTION EXORBITANT COSTS.

SHE ASSURED ME THE RECALLS WOULD CURE ALL BUT THE RADIO ISSUE I HAD BUT THEY WOULD CHECK THAT OUT WHILE THEY HAD MY VEHICLE. THEY FOUND NOTHING BUT THE BUSHINGS. I FILED COMPLAINT WITH HONDA CORP THAT DEALER WONT UPHOLD RECALLS AS THEY DONT GET ERROR CODES. THEY TOLD CORP REP THEY HAD MY CAR SEVERAL DAYS WHICH IS A LIE. THEY HAD IT ABOUT 4 HOURS FROM WHEN THEY OPENED UNTIL I PICKED UP. CORP REP SAID NOTHING ELSE WE CAN DO. MEANTIME, I HAVE NO BRAKES ON COLD WINTER DAYS AND MY CAR PUTS ALONG GETTING ON THE FREEWAY UNTIL IT JERKS, RPM'S DROP AND THEN I ZOOM UP TO SPEED QUICKLY. I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK RECEIPTS FOR EXACT DATE I WAS AT DEALER & FILED COMPLAINTS.

    MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND SHE WAS GOING TO GET INTO ANOTHER LANE SHE CHECKED HER MIRRORS AND TOOK A GLANCE OVER HER SHOULDER. WHEN SHE LOOKED BACK SHE NOTICED A CAR HAD STOPPED IN THE LANE. SHE THEN SLAMMED ON HER BRAKES IN WHICH AT THAT TIME SHE SAID IT FELT THAT LIKE THE CAR WAS STILL PULLING AGAINST HER BRAKING. AFTER SHE HIT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF HER PUSHING THE ADVERSE VEHICLE FORWARD. HER CAR THEN CONTINUED ACCELERATING AS SHE WAS BRAKING AND SLAMMED INTO THE ADVERSE VEHICLE AGAIN. HER CAR ONLY STOPPED BY PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK. *TR

    OUR HONDA PILOT ROUTINELY BECOMES SLUGGISH AND HESITATES DURING ACCELERATION. THIS PATTERN ONLY TAKES PLACE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 20-35 MPH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE TO JOIN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC.
