Engine, Jun 11, 2022
My Idle-Stop system intermittently cuts off and wont restart - usually at the most dangerous times like when I am in a turning lane of a busy intersection. To me, this is a major hazard. This has happened on multiple occasions, so my practice right now is to turn it off as soon as I turn on the engine so I won't have this occur. Since 2021, this has happened about 7 times, most notably in the Summer when it is hot, and when I have the A/C and music running. I spoke to a dealer about it and they told me to bring it in to be checked. Because it is intermittent, it is just easier for me to turn the idle-stop off at the time I start my engine, as the chances of it happening on them seemed remote. Other than that, I keep my car in great working condition, getting regular oil changes, etc. There were no warning lights prior to it happening, but when it happens, all kinds of engine lights pop up, and there is a prompt on how to restart the engine, but it doesn't work. One time is was over 10 minutes before it would start. I just kept pushing buttons until it started, but it is quite harrowing when traffic is honking and your heart is racing, hoping no one hits you.

1. The engine turned off at an intersection with the start/stop feature, also called the auto idle stop system, and did not restart. Jumper cables were needed to restart the vehicle. 2. Safety concern - This issue put my family's safety at risk while being out of the vehicle at a very busy intersection at dusk when visibility was decreasing. 3. Police arrived briefly to assist after 45 minutes of being in a dead vehicle but vehicle successfully started after several "jumping" routines and police left scene. 4. There were no other visual issues or messages prior to this problem.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that after coming to a red light and stopping the vehicle, the fuel-saving feature malfunctioned and the vehicle would not immediately restart when releasing the brake pedal. Additionally, while driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to properly accelerate. Occasionally, the vehicle would not start after being turned off. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the battery but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.

Drivers side Sun Visor has lost its ability to stay in the closed position. It constantly falls down approx 5 inches in front of my head when not being used. At this position it pushes against my forehead which to me is a safety issue if something were to happen I would definately have impact in my head since I am a short person 5 ft 1 inch and perfer to sit higher up for visability. It will not go back into its original closed position. I have hit my head a dozen times already and I have only had this vehicle less than a year. 2019 is a newer vehicle and I would consider this a true safety defect in this model. Yes, the dealership has seen this issue and I am awaiting their decision since its passed its 36K mileage for warranty.

When the car is stopped it will sometimes turn off. It has happened at least twice in the last week - once in a drive through and once at a stop sign. The cat comes to a stop normally but when it is time to accelerate the engine turns off & the electrical starts acting weird. I have to power the car off and on a couple of times before I can get it going again. I took the car into Honda today and they could not find any problems with the car. I am scared that this will happen on the freeway during traffic and someone will come crashing into me.

The car stopped at a stoplight and the engine shut off from the normal start/stop function. When I tried to drive, the engine did not restart and the car was dead in the intersection. I was stranded for 2 hours due to unavailability of tow truck. It eventually was jumped, charged overnight, then was dead again the next day.

There have been several instances where the engine just shut off when I had the Stop/Start Engine functionality in the "ON" mode. Once it was in traffic on the highway and other times it was in residential streets. The car would flash an error message on the screen and it usually takes time to get it restarted. Honda never really paid much attention despite several complaints. The system had been hesitant on occasion which seemed abnormal but again Honda never paid attention when I told them. It has got to the point that I just turn off the option as I get in the car to avoid the engine shutting off on me in the middle of the highway. It has happened too often.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle the transmission had erroneously shifted from the drive position to the select position causing the vehicle to hesitate and sputter. After turning the vehicle off and restarting the engine the failure had self-corrected. On one occasion while parked with the engine idling, as contact was exiting the vehicle the transmission erroneously shifted out of the park position and began to drive forward knocking the contact to the ground and driving over the legs. During the incident, the driver sustained injuries to both legs and a fractured arm. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who reprogrammed the transmission. No further information was available. Later while operating the vehicle warning messages began to be displayed including the service engine, power train, and the warning message "danger pull over immediately". The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was not notified. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 52,000.
Engine, Jun 9, 2022
I have complained to the Honda dealer during each oil change that my engine shuts off when I am driving and come to a stop at intersections. I brought up that I had the car battery changed three times already due the suspicion that the battery was causing the issue. They tested the battery and found that it wasn't the problem. I asked them to look at the spark plugs, again, no issues. They took a test drive and could not replicate the issue. The problem stems from the feature that automatically shuts off the engine when the brakes are depressed and the vehicle is at a complete stop. When the brake is released, the engine attempts to turn back on, but fails. There are many indicator lights that turn on that indicate a fault. I have to manipulate the gear selector buttons to get the vehicle to shut down and attempt to restart the engine again. My vehicle has shut off tens of times while driving. My only fix at the moment is to press a button near the bottom of the gear selector that disables the automatic on-off engine shutoff. This is what I must now do when I first start my engine on. I have been put in dangerous situations when at intersections, particularly at right turns when my engine shuts off and there is oncoming vehicles. I have had expenses getting this issue looked at and getting new batteries, which did not resolve the issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the Auto START/STOP feature failed to operate as needed causing the vehicle to stall. The contact would restart the vehicle as an unknown message was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on multiple occasions; however, the failure persisted. Recently, the contact stated that the vehicle had locked up after the failure occurred and the gear shifter would not move from the park(P) position. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.

-The engine failed to restart on its own from a complete stop at a traffic light with the Auto Start/Stop function. This has occurred on multiple occasions. -This started occurring in the summer of 2021. The first couple of times, the engine would stall but would immediately start up again after turning the back on. On one occasion, it stalled at a traffic light and it took about 30 seconds to get the engine back on. On or about 8/12/21, we were stopped at a traffic light at a busy intersection and the engine stalled and would not restart. We blocked a lane for over an hour until a tow truck was finally able to retrieve the car. The battery could not be jump started. -The car was taken to the Honda dealership and they said it was due to a faulty battery and replaced the battery. However, within 9 months of the replacement (currently), the car has started stalling again intermittently. Most of the time, we remember to turn the auto start-stop feature before we start driving, which seems to help, but on the occasions that we forget, it has stalled on at least 2 occasions. So far, we've been able to start the engine again quickly and keep moving. -There have been no warming lamps, message or other symptoms prior to these incidents. -We have been extremely disappointed with the manner that Honda used when we voiced these concerns in August 2021. They were very dismissive and did not seem to believe my report, despite the car only being less than 3 years old at the time of the first incident. When I stated that this posed a serious safety issue because a car could stall at any time, they stated it shouldn't pose a major threat because the incidents only happened when the vehicle was stopped and other vehicles would likely also be stopped, thereby eliminating any chance of impact. This is clearly an erroneous conclusion as my vehicle could easily come to a stop in heavy traffic on an interstate and other cars may not react quick enough to stop.

Twice since purchasing the vehicle last year the automatic start/stop feature on the Honda has failed to restart the engine once we took our foot off the brake pedal. The first time was more than six months ago. We were at a light and the vehicle did not start after taking my foot off the brake when the light turned green. I tried putting it in park and then restarting the vehicle with the touch button but it didn't work. I tried with the remote start feature on the key and it would not start that way. At this point traffic was honking and going around us. I started pushing the park and neutral button to make sure it was in park, but nothing worked. I finally got the vehicle to restart by holding the start button on the dash for about 10-15 seconds. When I took it into the dealer a month or so later to have a recall taken care of I brought it up to the advisor and he asked if it has happened since then. I said no and he said it was probably something I did... The second time, was 5/11/2022 around 11 am. I was on the way to the Honda dealership to buy an oil filter and crush ring to change the oil. I had been driving for about a half an hour, stopped at a red light in front of the dealership and it happened again. Once again, traffic on the offramp started piling up, people were honking and going around on the shoulder. I tried the same procedure as before but it didn't work at first. I tried it a couple of times and the vehicle finally started. The vehicle has not been scanned with a scanner since the last time so there is probably a stored code if you need to verify this.

I was driving with my granddaughter. When we were stopped at a light and my car shut down. I didn’t know what to do. I finally figured out how to get the vehicle to start again. The idel- stop is not working it continues to happen. So my husband and I have to remember everyone we start the car to turn it off and we tend to forget. Then here we are stuck in the middle of traffic. idle-stop feature Is not working correctly.

Start / Stop and Engine failure. When I have the start/stop feature enabled there have been numerous occasions where the car has stalled and will not restart. This has happened in critical traffic situations and has almost caused multiple accidents and injury. In addition, the engine has cut off while driving through parking lots and stopping for pedestrians; during this time I need to reset the entire car to get it to start back up while stuck in the middle of the street. One other occasions the start stop has failed where the car does restart but the entire car resents and delays me from moving until this is finished. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealer to review and they say everything is working as designed.

I stopped at a red light downtown. The auto engine stop/start did not start when the green light came. It was not possible to change gears or place the car in neutral. All lights and radio were working. Much anxiety because all other cars were honking. Could not get out of the car without risk of being hit by another car. Police came by and helped calling a two truck- $200 to tow to a parking place two blocks down the street. Car could not be place in neutral. Towed to a dealership, they replaced the battery. (surprising since all electrical was working fine) It has not happened again, but I am inactivating the automatic feature everytime I ride the car.

We have had a check engine light going off and on for a few days now. Car sputtering. Almost like no power at times and quick to slow down. We brought it to a Honda dealership and determined it had faulty fuel injectors. I was told there is a campaign on the issue now. But we would have to pay 40% of the repair cost. I believe it to be a dire safety issue. So we are paying for the repair. I was also told there is no recall on it for our vin but similar vehicles with similar issues come through there all the time

As described in Power Train TSB A20-029 (but so far associated only with 2019 Pilot AWD Touring and Elite) - my 2019 Pilot AWD transmission has intermittent harsh or jerky upshifts with steady acceleration. The vehicle lags, failing to accelerate properly. This creates a safety issue when merging, turning into active traffic, etc. The issue was inspected via diagnostic snapshot at Jenkins & Wynne Honda in Clarksville TN on May 3, 2022. Output graph confirmed transmission lag occurring consistently throughout tech drive. Issue first appeared in April 2022 at approximately 32,000 miles, just 2,000 miles past 30,000 mile service completed in Jan. 2022. All vehicle service maintained according to manufacturer timeline and recommendations.

2019 Honda Pilot Collision Mitigation System flashing BRAKE on screen average 3 times per day. Includes shaking of steering wheel & if cruise control on, braking. All this is happening when there is nothing blocking car. If cruise control on & need to respond to car that just pulled in front of me on highway, because the brake pedal is already suppressed by the car I can not respond properly. The only thing I have found to override the car is to push the gas pedal, which is also very dangerous!! Please help!! This is so dangerous. If something is actually happening on the road it is difficult to think about how to respond because the car is freaking out. The ability to think clearly & respond to unsafe situations is so important in those first few seconds. Honda mechanic said this is ‘just a side effect’ of a self driving car feature (cruise control) until Honda improves technology. There is no way to turn off Collision Mitigation Breaking System permanently

I have had the assisted emergency braking deploy itself with the Brake light blinking on the dash board when there is no reason for it to engage. No traffic around, just a sudden braking which pushes you forward in your seat and quickly scan all around you for impact which is not going to occur. I have heard of this happening to others but this has happened to me about 6 times and my husband has had it twice.

While entering the express lane on I-595 E my Honda 2019 Pilot unexpectedly reduced speed applying the brakes. There were no cars in front or behind me and the yet the emergency braking system was applied. This could have caused a rear end collision. In speaking with a local Honda service dealer he had said that this had also happened to him twice. My incident occurred approx. 1 year ago. I've also read that this issue has been identified in Honda CR-V's and Accords.

When driving my Honda Pilot the Automatic Emergency Braking system has engaged multiple times (3-4 times with me, and once with my husband driving) in the middle of driving with there was no reason for the braking to occur - Meaning there were times when no cars were even in front of me. When this happens the orange BRAKE warning shows up on my dashboard advising "BRAKE" and my car jolts forward to strongly break. There has not been a recall on this issue, therefore, there has not inspection on my car specific to this issue. When this occurs it causes extreme panic on unawareness of what is going on. There is a threat of a crash behind me, especially when driving on roads 55 MPH, when the car all of a sudden out of nowhere comes to almost a complete stop. Also, it extremely distracts me due to the suddenness of this issue without any perceived warning. Therefore, I quickly try to understand if I do need to swerve or figure out how to quickly speed up after it brakes so no cars hit me from behind. Then it takes me awhile to calm down and understand what happened.

The engine turned off and the car went in to neutral gear while sitting at a stoplight. This happened 2x in 1 day. The first time, the car was in the "auto engine idle" mode and the second time I had disabled the feature so it was at a regular idle. The dash said the car was in accessory mode and to push the brake and start the car. I had to shift to park to be able to restart the car. I had cars behind me honking the horn and was afraid I was going to be rear ended at the stoplight by the driver behind me. This is definitely a safety hazard!
