ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
On July 8 2024 at approximately 0720 CST I was driving my vehicle on the freeway when I lost ALL acceleration and the car would NOT go above 70MPH. The car continued to decelerate while on the freeway in traffic. The RPM range was 7-8 while it was decelerating and then it went back to "normal" a few minutes later. I then continued my travel to work and about 5 miles away from my work it did it again ON THE FREEWAY. I was able to limp into the Honda Burleson Service Center and there were 3 warning lights on at this point. These warning lights are Brake System Warning Light, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control System Problem.

SERVICE BRAKES, WHEELS
My vehicle started making unusual noise when moving, noise appears like something is wrong with the tires, it sounds like there is a bubble in tire but there is none and this noise is audible inside while driving. We first noticed it when we took a trip to Kansas city few weeks ago and at that time my vehicle odometer was about 31600 miles only, Also to add to that when brakes are applied vehicle is not slowing down consistently, it will be like breaks are applied and release and applied and released. We believe that there is manufacturing defects with the parts as we have not abused our vehicle in any way and if we are right similar issues should surface with others vehicles as well.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Car brake warning pops up on dashboard when there is no object directly in front of the car. This occurs when there is oncoming traffic in another lane and it has happened when I am going over train tracks. It's as if the concrete curb is in front of me. My car has never stopped abruptly. This has happened over the last few years. I was unaware to report it. I did bring it up to the dealer but they didn't seem to understand.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Car abrupt stopped working while driving. All the lights on dashboard popped up with emissions warning on dashboard. The car was unable to start. Luckily for me I was in the neighborhood. This would have been very dangerous if I was on a highway or busy road. I had my children in the car. My vehicle was towed to the dealer who inspected it and said that my fuel pump needs to be replaced. A week prior the blind spot, emissions and transmissions light popped up and the car was semi drivable for me to make it to the dealer. I was told that it was my oil pressure switch that needed to be replaced just for my car to die 5 days later

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The vehicle mistakingly thinks it recognizes an obstacle, and wrongly activates the brakes and forward collision warning. This recently occurred during highway driving with no apparent obstacles multiple times. Also (maybe related) when using adaptive cruise control, rather than adapt to a slower vehicle’s speed in-front of it, the Honda Pilot applies strong pressure on the brakes to adjust its pace. In other cars I’ve driven (Tesla, Subaru, Volvo, Chrysler, Kia) the response is a much more delicate “throttle release”. However, the Pilot mostly applies throttle or aggressively applies the brakes in situations that are very predictable and do not require the brakes to be applied. The result is an aggressive/frantic behavior, not adaptive. I keep the car/safety sensors clean and free of obstacles, decals, etc.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Gear (paddle) switch on steering wheel accidentally engaged when touched during left & right turns (mostly left turns) and downshifts vehicle to low gear (D1) in middle of busy traffic intersection. This happened three times and I almost got killed when the car stalled and oncoming traffic had to brake hard to prevent from hitting me. No fault of my own. Faulting design with shift in form of a "paddle" on the steering wheel.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
Vehicle has had issues of complete loss of power while driving and while awaiting at a light even with the fuel saving mode deactivated so that it wouldn't shut off at every stop. Looked for blown fuses,codes or any lose relays but everything appeared good. Both days were clear one day the temperature was 35 degrees and the other day it was 60 degrees the only date I remember is below. There was no crash but had traffic stopped since I couldn't get the vehicle to start at a very busy road and intersection. As a disabled person I can't be exposed to these unsafe conditions since I have serious medical conditions.

SUSPENSION
The contact owns a 2022 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while driving 5 MPH and making a turn, there was an abnormal loud banging sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. The contact stated that she looked around and could not determine the cause of the sound. The contact stated that she continued driving; however, the failure recurred while driving on several occasions. The contact stated that she pulled to the side of the road on the last occasion. The contact stated that her husband inspected the vehicle and noticed that the sway bar had fractured and was separated from the bracket on the rear driver's side. The contact stated that her husband tied the sway bar, and she was able to slowly drive to the dealer. The dealer informed the contact that the failure was due to a manufacturer defect and had occurred because the sway bar was not thick enough. The dealer then sent a claim with photos of the failure to the manufacturer, who approved the purchase of a new part and the repair of the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.
