2019 Honda Pilot problems

“Auto Start / Stop for the engine when coming to a stop at idle. We cannot replicate the situation over and over, but it has happened numerous times. If the auto start stop feature is allowed to function and the vehicle motor turns off at a stop sign or a stop light, it sometimes does not turn back on when you let off the brake and push the accelerator. This puts us in a very dangerous situation at intersections with a stalled out car. It sometimes takes several minutes to restart the car, all the while (my wife usually drives this car) she is panicking while cars honk and swerve around her disabled car. Honda dealer has been less than helpful stating they cannot do anything unless they can replicate it in the shop. Most recent incident happened today while my wife was driving to work.”

“I opened case #XXX with Honda Motor Co. regarding a fuel-injector issue with my 2019 Honda Pilot AWD. At approximately 32,725 miles, the check-engine light came on. A diagnostic scan displayed code P219A, which was later confirmed by an authorized Honda dealer in [XXX]. Based on my understanding, Honda Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 21-010 addresses this issue in 2018–2019 Honda Pilot vehicles. However, both Honda Motor Co. and the dealer denied coverage, stating that my vehicle’s VIN is not included under the bulletin. The dealer initially told me there was a 99% chance the repair would be covered, but the following morning I was informed that my VIN did not qualify. Honda also declined to cover the repair as a goodwill adjustment. Instead, Honda offered approximately $400 toward the repair cost without acknowledging that the underlying problem was a Honda-related defect. I declined the offer because I believe Honda should accept responsibility for the issue and cover the full cost of the repair.”

“Due to the failure of the U 3000–49 Integrated driver sport system Multipurpose camera unit millimeter Wave radar, internal electronic failure there was a near miss when a vehicle Crossed over in front of me at a close proximity. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealership and the U 3000–49 code appeared as a permanent malfunction on the front camera”

“Took Pilot to Reilly's for FREE diagnostic reading. Showed misfires in cylinders 4 & 5 & random misfires. Then took to Son's Honda and PAID for the same diagnostic readings which were the same. The Pilot drives in a "limp mode" due to the issue. This issue is a known Honda issue for this year and make model. They have granted some Pilots an extended warranty to resolve the known issues. They say mine doesn't qualify even though it is the exact same issue. Defects with their fuel injector system. A secondary issue is the Transmission. We were traveling 2 hours away on the highway when we got a warning to pull over. Our Transmission fluid was too hot. This is another issue I have found to be a common problem with the 2019 Honda Pilot's and their redesign transmission system.”

“While driving my 2019 Honda Pilot at highway speeds 70 mph, the dashboard suddenly displayed a severe safety warning stating "Transmission Temp Too Hot." There was no prior warning, mechanical symptom, or heavy cargo towing to cause this. The sudden warning forced me to immediately navigate across multiple lanes of fast-moving traffic to pull onto the shoulder of the highway, creating an immediate and dangerous crash hazard. This is a severe mechanical failure that occurs without reason under standard driving conditions, heavily compromising vehicle reliability and occupant safety on the highway. The vehicle has been exclusively and regularly maintained at an authorized Honda dealership according to all factory recommendations. The sudden transmission overheating and subsequent safety hazard occurred despite flawless maintenance compliance, proving this is a severe manufacturing or chemical fluid defect and not a case of owner neglect.”

“The contact owns a 2019 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while driving, the vehicle experienced an intermittent catalytic converter warning light that turned on and off on the instrument panel. The contact referenced Technical Service Bulletin: 21-010; however, the vehicle was not included in the TSB. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The dealer confirmed the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in the TSB. The vehicle was scheduled for the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.”
