Honda Pilot Engine Safety Report | Feb 15, 2014
Reported on Feb 15, 2014
| I HAVE HAD THIS PILOT FOR A YEAR AND ITS PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN GOING DOWNHILL. WHEN THE ECO ENGAGES, THE CAR STARTS TO SHUDDER AND SOUND LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. I NEED TO PRESS ON THE GAS TO GET THE CAR GOING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY MPH AS IT OCCURS WHEN THE ECO LIGHT TURNS ON. THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND STATES ITS A FLAW OF THE 2013 PILOT AND CANNOT BE FIXED. THEY ALSO CALL IT NORMAL. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND I DO NOT CONSIDER IT NORMAL FOR THE CAR I AM DRIVING TO SOUND LIKE IT IS GOING TO TURN OFF. PIAZZA HONDA OF LIMERICK STATES THEY CAN HOOK THIS CAR UP TO A COMPUTER TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM BUT TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE THAT IT WAS A KNOW ISSUE, BASICALLY TELLING ME I AM WASTING MY TIME. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE FIXED, OR RECALLED AS IT IS UNSAFE. | |
