POWER TRAIN
MY 2016 HONDA PILOT WITH 32K ON THE ODOMETER HAS MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. IT JERKS / SLIPS ON ACCELERATION AND DOWNSHIFTS WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP. I AM BRINGING IT IN FOR SERVICE BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ FROM OTHER OWNERS THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH HONDA.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
DURING EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER, ALL SYSTEM FAILURE INDICATIONS SCROLL ON THE DISPLAY. HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND WILL RESET ITSELF OVER TIME. I RENDERS THE SYSTEMS USELESS AS WELL. ALARMS INCLUDE HILL START ASSIST, TRAILER STABILITY ASSIST, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION ASSIST, EMISSIONS, AWD AND EPS. MANY OF THESE SYSTEMS ARE SAFETY FEATURES AND NO LONGER RESPOND UNTIL BATTERY CABLE IS REMOVED OR RESET AFTER TIME.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH AND HEARD A BIG POP (SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT). THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE PERFECT AND THE ROAD ITSELF IS VERY SMOOTH. SO MY WIFE PULLED OVER AND SAW THAT HER SUN ROOF HAD EXPLODED. SO I ASKED IF ANYTHING HIT THE SUNROOF AND SHE SAID NO. SO I LOOKED AT THE SUN ROOF WHEN SHE GOT HOME AND IT WAS SHATTERED FROM CORNER TO CORNER. NO WAY A ROCK OR FLYING DEBRIS COULD CAUSE THAT. LUCKILY THE SUNROOF COVER WAS CLOSED, SO SHE DID NOT GET HIT WITH SHARDS OF GLASS. I TOOK THE CAR INTO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY AGREED THAT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO CAUSE THAT KIND OF DAMAGE TO THE SUN ROOF WITH A ROCK. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE "WARRANTY" AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE NEW WINDOW WHICH WAS CLOSE TO $700.

SOMETIMES THE RPM DROPS AND THE VEHICLE HAS A HARD SHIFT JERKING THE CAR FORWARD. IT HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE EVERY OTHER WEEK BUT DOESN'T LAST LONG. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN IT HAPPENS I CAN'T TAKE THE CAR IN BECAUSE I'M AT WORK AND WHEN I DO TAKE IT IN IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN I DRIVE. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I DRIVE AT. I WAS ABLE TO RECORD IT WHEN IT HAPPENED AND BROUGHT IT IN TO THE MECHANIC BUT THEY SAID IF THEY CAN'T RECREATE IT THEN IT'S NOT AN ISSUE. I'M AFRAID OF THIS BECOMING A BIGGER ISSUE CAUSING ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. HONDA WAS NO HELP. TOLD ME IF I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE THEN THE INSURANCE WILL TAKE CARE OF IT. HAVING KIDS, I DON'T WANT TO "WAIT" FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY DECIDE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING AT 75MPH ON A HEAVILY CONGESTED AREA OF THE INTERSTATE. VEHICLE WAS RUNNING NORMAL, THEN THE EMISSIONS LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY 'TRANSMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM' AND I LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE, DESPITE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT UP OR DOWN AND I NARROWLY MISSED BEING IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT AS I FOUGHT TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. ONCE IN PARK, THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND THEN REVVED AT A RAPID RATE. I WAS AFRAID IT WOULD DAMAGE THE MOTOR SO I SHUT IT OFF. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, APPARENTLY THERE IS A WELL KNOWN TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE.

OIL LEAKING UNDERNEATH CAR. THIS SHOWS UP AS A PUDDLE IN MY GARAGE - IT'S A SLOW LEAK. I THINK IT'S PROBABLY THE SAME ISSUE AS WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE OTHER 2016 HONDA PILOTS AND THE SEAL ON THE OIL CONTAINER, BUT MY SPECIFIC CAR HASN'T BEEN FLAGGED.
