FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, POWER TRAIN
My car "lurches" when increasing speed sometimes acting like it does not want to go at all. I am constantly on edge that I am going to get rear ended or hit. Especially when my children are with me. Occasionally the brake light will light up and my car will slow down and then accelerate again. Which also makes me worry about getting hit. Both of these things have happened multiple times and we've done our research. It's a major issue

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
All of the safety features are failing starting about August 2025. Warning lights are lit for collision mitigation, cruise control, high beam, lane departure, braking, EVERYTHING!!! We replaced the battery but that is not the problem. The transmission was always a problem. The braking assist never worked from day 1. The vehicle is completely defective.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
In 2022, in traffic on I35 in Temple, TX, i was in "Drive" and my car went automatically to Neutral and I could not get it out of neutral or turn my car on and off. My two children were in the car and had cars moved, I would have been clobbered. I finally got my car to turn off after several tries, but it would not turn on. I waited a a minute and tried to turn it on again and after several attempts, it turned back on and traffic began to move so I did not have to stop and brake again. This same issue happened at a stop light a month ago and I could not move my car. I did not hit anything in my car, i did not shift it to neutral, it automatically did this on it's own. I finally turned the car off and after many attempts was able to get it back on, put it in drive, and move the car out of the intersection. The automatic engine shut off also comes on and off in my car without me touching anything. it works sometimes and it doesn't. This issue is a total safety concern and should it happen again, i may not be so lucky with other vehicles. Please help with this recall on my VIN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
six months ago, I reached out due to an extreme concern regarding my safety and wellbeing regarding a 2019 Honda Pilot that I purchased from Carmax in Newark, DE. I purchased the car on January 10th and on January 29th there were issues with driving the vehicle. The car began to jolt and shake and the check engine light came on. I contacted the warranty company and was told that since it was within 30 days I would have to contact Carmax directly. I contacted the dealership and had the car towed to Carmax. On February 3rd I heard back from the dealership with a diagnostic test result. At that time, I was told by the service representative that the car had a transmission switch that had to be fixed. I was later told that when they fixed the switch it didn’t resolve. On February 5th I was then told it was the fuel injector, and they were going to do an engine flush. The car was not fixed until February 13th.I was given the run around with the service representative and the manager on duty regarding my concern with the vehicle and its safety. I asked if I could change this car for a different car because I do believe that it was unsafe. I was inevitably told since it was a used car that “these things happen” and any work done on the vehicle is covered under warranty for at least one year. I mentioned “Lemon Law,” and the manager mentioned that it only applies to new vehicles. I was also informed that I would have to wait for them to fix the same issue three or four times before we could discuss an exchange of the car. I filed complaints with DOJ, Honda Service, wrote a google review and sent emails to other parties by February 17th. (I WILL ATTACHED THE DETAILED DOCUMENTATION, THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH CHARACTERS AVAILABLE)

POWER TRAIN
My 2019 Honda Pilot was surging when it went up a hill or was at a steady speed on the highway. I was concerned that the car would stall. The dealer confirmed/reproduced the problem and called it a torque converter shudder. Per Honda's instructions they changed the transmission fluid 3 times and did a software update. There were no warning lights. This is a known problem with a very specific fix that is recommended by Honda. It should be a recall and the repair covered by Honda. It costs me over $400.00 to get the repair done at my dealer-Washington PA Honda.

They stated that the issue is the front dash camera, which will need replacement. Replacement is around $2,000.

SEATS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
While operating I was on Highway driving my car the driver seat was set up according to my height, when I use the break to slow down for the heavy traffic during the rush hour wasn't that fast at all I believe my car was at 30 in mph around somehow my car seat dropped too low and I was afraid that I can barley seen in the front. Some how I manage to get home but not sure if there is blown fuses, faulty switches, or loose wiring connectors under the seat or electrical seat problems. This Vehicle is from year 2019 when we purchased. I haven't call the Honda for service yet, cause it's weekend now. I will call on following Monday 22. for Check up.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
There was an internal failure of the multi-purpose camera located behind the windshield rear-view mirror. It was inspected by Russ Darrow Honda and the failure code diagnosed. The camera needed to be replaced. Service included a video from the dealer and the defective camera was so hot he could barely hold it while wearing gloves. This caused the Lane-Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Auto High Beam, Collision Mitigation and Road Departure Mitigation Systems to fail, and the dummy lights on the dash to warn of the system failures. There was no accident or injury resulting yet, but none of the advanced safety features were operable. We have since learned that this camera is a common failure in Honda vehicles, and we feel there needs to be a recall. This critical and expensive safety feature should not be failing this frequently, or in vehicles this new.
