2016 HONDA PILOT
PURCHASED A 2016 PILOT EX-L CERTIFIED USED WITH 8K. WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKES, THEY WOULD GO PRETTY FAR DOWN BEFORE ENGAGING. IF I LET UP ON THE PEDAL AND PRESS AGAIN, THEY IMMEDIATELY GRAB LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN SEVERAL TIMES, BRAKES BLED AND FLUSHED, STILL THE SAME. I WAS INFORMED THAT HONDA SAYS THE DISTANCE OF BRAKE PEDAL PRESSING DOWN IS 2" IS NORMAL. I ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE SCREEN GOING OUT, AND THE DRIVER SIDE VENT WOULDN'T STAY UP, AND THE A/C WASN'T COOLING PROPERTY. ALSO THE SYSTEM WONT CONNECT TO MY PHONE RANDOMLY. I NOW HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. MAKES A RATTLING NOISE WHILE DRIVING/COASTING AT ANY SPEED. HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BUMPER AND HOOD NOISE. AFTER PAYING FOR THAT, I STILL HAVE THE NOISE. THE RPMS JUMPS FROM UNDER 2 TO JUST ABOVE TWO, THEN DOWN AGAIN. WHEN THE RPMS DO THIS THE NOISE HAPPENS AND ALSO THE ECONO MODE TURNS OFF TO WHITE, THEN GREEN AGAIN. NOW IT FEELS LIKE WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TRANSMISSION FEELS AS IFF IT IS TRYING TO GO INTO GEAR, SLIPPING. NOW WHEN DRIVING AND TRYING TO PASS, IT SEEMS TO SLIP. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE! COME ON HONDA PLEASE FIX THE ISSUES.

ON OCTOBER 24, 2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 10:00 AM CST. ENGINE COMPLETELY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE I-80. WAS IN THE LEFT LANE PASSING VEHICLE IN RIGHT LANE. ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS AHEAD OF MINE. TAPPED THE BRAKES TO SLOW A BIT AS VEHICLE IN FRONT WAS MERGING RIGHT AFTER PASSING. HIT THE GAS PEDAL AND ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE WAS LOST FOR ABOUT 1.5 - 2 SECONDS. TACHOMETER DROPPED TO 0. TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THEN RE-ENGAGED. POWER TO ENGINE CAME BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO RESUME NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATIONS. AUTO ENGINE ON/OFF FEATURE WAS DISABLED. REGULAR CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON, HAD BEEN SET BUT WASN'T CURRENTLY ENGAGED. PARKING SENSORS WERE ON. LANE DEPARTURE WAS OFF. FORWARD COLLISION WARNING ON. NO OTHER ISSUES FOR THE REST OF THE 1300 MILE (ROUND) TRIP. WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. FIRST TIME WAS NOT REPORTED OR DOCUMENTED. IF ENGINE/POWER HADN'T BEEN RESTORED, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS CANNOT BE NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS HONDA AND NHTSA.

DRIVING BACK FROM A TRIP AND WAS TRYING TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I ENGAGED THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT HAPPENED SO FAST THAT I THOUGHT I DID SOMETHING WRONG. ONCE I GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY I DROVE ABOUT 100 MILES AND WAS IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. I DID NOT HAVE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 55-60 MPH. AT ONE TIME I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND. MY SPEED DROPPED FROM 55 MPH TO 25 MPH WHICH I WAS CONSTANTLY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM THE REAR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING DUE TO CONTINUALLY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. THIS SPECIFIC INCIDENT LASTED ABOUT 10 SECONDS. MY CAR IS AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHICH THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE SINCE NO ERROR CODE WAS GENERATED. I'VE CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ARE ADVISING TO TAKE THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION.

ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER, 24, AT APPROXIMATE 9:45 AM I WAS DRIVING UPHILL AND NOTICED MY ENGINE WAS MAKING AN ODD SOUND. IT MADE IT WHEN I ACCELERATED, BUT STOPPED AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. AS I GOT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL, THERE WAS NO MORE SOUND. ABOUT 1 MINUTE LATER I PULLED INTO A SHOPPING CENTER, THE CAR WAS ON A SLIGHT UPWARD ANGLE, AND I WAS GOING TO TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN VALITION. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 2-3 FEET AWAY FROM A PARKED CAR, AND MY CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING FULL SPEED TOWARDS THIS CAR. AT THE TIME, I BELIEVE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, WHICH MADE IT EVEN MORE SHOCKING WHY THE CAR WAS PROPELLING FORWARD. I QUICKLY STOMPED ON THE BRAKE AGAIN AND THE CAR CAME TO A STOP. IT HIT THE PARKED CAR WITH TWO OCCUPANTS.

THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS. THE VEHICLE SLAMS ON THE BRAKES WHEN APPROACHING VEHICLES AHEAD AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME THEN HAS TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. SO FAR I HAVE AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES THAT IT WAS A VERY CLOSE CALL. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE TO ANOTHER LANE TO AVOID HITTING ME. THE SYSTEM IS VERY JERKY, SPEEDING UP AND SLOWING DOWN WHEN FOLLOWING A VEHICLE AHEAD. IT WILL SPEED UP BY 2-3 MPH AND THEN SLOW DOWN AND SPEED UP AGAIN. I HAVE MADE SURE THAT THE WINDSHIELD IS CLEAR TO ALLOW FOR THE CAMERA TO SEE THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD A PREVIOUS FORD MOTOR VEHICLE AND THEIR ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WORKED WONDERFULLY.

IF I SET CRUISE CONTROL AND GO DOWN A HILL OR INCLINE IT DOES NOT MAINTAIN THE CRUISE CONTROL AND CONTINUOUSLY GAINS SPEED UP TO 10-15 MILES OVER WHAT IT IS SET AT. COULD GO HIGHER, BUT I NOTICE IT AND HIT THE BRAKE WHICH SHUTS IT OFF. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY SAY THIS IS NORMAL AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I DISAGREE AND SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAD PULLED OUT OF A PARKING PLACE AND WAS WAITING IN THE TRAFFIC LANE TO EXIT THE AREA. THERE WERE TWO CARS IN FRONT OF US. THE CARS WERE STOPPED. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 20-25 FEET BEHIND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE IN MY CAR TO LET IT IDLE FORWARD. AS I APPROACHED THE YUKON I REAPPLIED THE BRAKE. THE CAR ACCELERATED TO WHAT SOUNDED LIKE FULL RPM'S AND I APPLIED THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR SLAMMED INTO THE YUKON WITH SUCH AN IMPACT THAT BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG HIT ME IN THE FACE. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DID NOT REACH MY WIFE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SHE IMMEDIATELY EXPERIENCED SEVERE CHEST PAIN AND RAPID HEART BEAT. BYSTANDERS CALLED 911 AND TWO PARK RANGERS ARRIVED IN APPROX. 15-20 MINUTES. THE RANGERS FINISHED TAKING PICTURES AND ASKED ME TO PULL IN TO A PARKING SPOT OUT OF THE TRAVEL LANE OF THE PARKING LOT. I STARTED THE CAR AND PROCEEDED SLOWLY AND TURNED INTO A PARKING SPOT. AS I APPLIED THE BRAKE TO PARK, THE SAME PHENOMENON OCCURRED AGAIN. THE CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD OVER A CURB AND WALKWAY AND STRUCK A PEDESTRIAN BEFORE COMING TO A STOP ON A RETAINING WALL. I DESPERATELY TRIED TO STOP THE CAR WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE EMS WAS THERE SHORTLY AFTER THIS OCCURRENCE. A RANGER ASKED ME HOW FAST I WAS MOVING AND I STATED I HAD NO IDEA. I ASKED HIM TO ASK THE RANGER WHO WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME AND HE SAID 5 MPH. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AFTER THEY TRANSPORTED THE PEDESTRIAN ON THE BACKBOARD.THE AMBULANCE WAS READY TO TAKE MY WIFE TO THE HOSPITAL SO I APPROACHED THE PARK RANGER AND TOLD HIM THAT I NEEDED TO RIDE IN THE AMBULANCE WITH MY WIFE.

MY FAMILY TRAVELED IN THIS VEHICLE TO CARLSBAD LAST WEEK FOR VACATION, INCLUDING MYSELF, MY WIFE, OUR 13 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND 11 YEAR OLD SON. THE VEHICLE WORKED PERFECTLY UNTIL WE WERE ON OUR WAY HOME SATURDAY, JULY 22, 2017. WE WERE ON I-10 APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR EAST OF PHOENIX IN THE RIGHT LANE WITH THE CRUSE SET AT THE 75MPH SPEED LIMIT. THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF US FOR AT LEAST A MILE. ALL THE SUDDEN, WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER, NEARLY ALL THE VEHICLE SYSTEM LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED AT AN EMERGENCY RATE DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 40MPH IN ABOUT 2 SECONDS. I IMMEDIATELY HIT 'CANCEL' ON THE CRUISE AND STEPPED ON THE GAS, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SLOW QUICKLY. I IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THE 18 WHEEL TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND US MAKE AN EMERGENCY SWERVE TO THE LEFT AND MISSED HITTING US BY INCHES. WE WERE NEARLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN FATAL. ALL THIS TOOK PLACE IN ABOUT A 5-10 SECOND TIMEFRAME. AFTER STOPPING ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD I MADE NOTE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SHOWING A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM, AN AWD PROBLEM AND I THINK JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER ISSUE LIGHT WAS LIT UP. I TRIED TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK ON THE ROAD, BUT IT WOULD NOT GO ANY HIGHER THAN 3RD GEAR AND THE DASH KEPT INDICATING A TRANSMISSION AND AWD PROBLEM. I PULLED OVER AGAIN AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON. AT THAT POINT THE ONLY INDICATOR LIGHT THAT LIT UP WAS THE EMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM (SEE ATTACHED PICTURE). I REENTERED THE INTERSTATE AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN. WE STOPPED AT THE NEXT GAS STATION AND FILLED THE GAS TANK AND UPON RESTARTING THE ENGINE THE EMISSION LIGHT WAS STILL ON. WE CAREFULLY DROVE HOME AT 65'70MPH. THE FOLLOWING DAY (SUNDAY), THE EMISSION LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON.

MY CAR HAS A VARIETY OF DANGEROUS BEHAVIORS IN THE DRIVER ASSIST FUNCTIONALITIES THAT COULD EITHER CAUSE OR FAIL TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN IT 2,000 MILES BUT OBSERVED THESE MANY TIMES. I REPORTED THESE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS FINE. ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ISSUES: - FAILS TO DETECT VEHICLES IN ODD SITUATIONS, SUCH AS A TRUCK WHERE THE REAR OF THE BODY PROTRUDES OUT FROM THE REAR WHEELS, AS IF THE RADAR IS ONLY AT GROUND LEVEL, OR IF A VEHICLE IS DRIVING IN MY LANE BUT ONE TIRE IS IN THE OTHER LANE, OR A WIDE LOAD WHICH OCCUPIES ALL OF THE ADJACENT LANE AND HALF OF MY LANE, OR A "BOBTAIL" TRUCK. - AFTER AN EMPTY STRETCH, UPON COMING UP TO A SLOWER CAR, RATHER THAN SLOW GRADUALLY BY EASING OFF THE GAS, THE CAR WILL GET VERY CLOSE TO THE CAR AND THEN RAPIDLY BRAKE, CAUSING DRIVERS BEHIND ME TO NEARLY REAR-END ME. COLLISION MITIGATION: - ALL OF THESE TRIGGER "BRAKE" MESSAGES TO BE DISPLAYED, WHICH IS JUST 1 STEP BEFORE THE BRAKES BEING AUTO-APPLIED, WHICH COULD CAUSE ME TO BE REAR-ENDED. - FALSE ALARMS WHILE MERGING FROM LEFTHAND ONRAMPS WHERE A PENDING COLLISION WITH THE JERSEY BARRIER IS DETECTED - FALSE ALARMS BY THE HILLS ADJACENT TO THE ROAD WHEN GOING AROUND A SHARP TURN ON BACK ROADS - FALSE ALARMS WHEN CRESTING A HILL WITH A CURVE AFTER THE HILL AND IT THINKS AN ONCOMING CAR WILL BE HIT, BECAUSE IT CAN'T SEE THE LANE MARKINGS PAST THE HILL LANE KEEP ASSIST: - PARTIALLY GOES INTO EXIT RAMPS ON ITS OWN IF IN THE RIGHT LANE, CAUSING OTHER DRIVERS TO THINK I AM LEAVING THE LANE AND START TO MERGE THEMSELVES - IS CONFUSED BY LINES OF TAR AND WILL DEPART THE LANE ON ITS OWN - OFTEN "FIGHTS" WITH THE LANE DEPARTURE MITIGATION AROUND CORNERS - TRIES TO PREVENT ME FROM GIVING OTHER VEHICLES SOME BUFFER WHEN PASSING THEM, IF THEY ARE WIDER OR DRIFTING TOWARD ME. - DOES NOT ALERT WHEN IT STOPS BEING ABLE TO DETECT THE LINES
