2019 Honda Pilot fuel/propulsion system problems

“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.”

“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.”

“VEHICLE RUNNING ROUGH AND EMISSIONS LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER ANALYZED AND FOUND ERROR CODE P0430. ALL FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED AT COST OF $1,097.53 WHEN VEHICLE HAD ONLY 76,890 MILES.”

“My 2019 Honda Pilot EX AWD (VIN [XXX]) with approximately 80,000 miles developed a check engine light along with dashboard messages indicating an Emissions System Problem and AWD System Problem. The vehicle continued to drive normally, but the warnings repeatedly returned. Diagnostic code P0172 (System Too Rich, Bank 1) was present. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Honda dealer on XXX which diagnosed failed fuel injectors and recommended replacement of the injector assembly at a cost of approximately $1,689. The failed components and dealer records are available for inspection upon request. While the vehicle has not experienced a loss of propulsion, I am concerned that a fuel injector defect could lead to engine performance issues, increased emissions, reduced reliability, or unsafe operating conditions if the condition worsens while driving. Honda has previously acknowledged fuel injector issues on certain 2017-2019 Honda Pilot vehicles and issued a warranty extension covering fuel injector repairs for eligible VINs. However, despite a dealer diagnosis of failed fuel injectors, I was informed that my VIN is not covered by the existing warranty…”

“Have a 2019 Honda Pilot - Fuel injector failure/Catalytic Converter at 115,000 miles. estimated cost over 2,200. KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT: Honda Service Bulletins 20-100, 21-002, 22-002 acknowledge widespread fuel injector failures in 2019 Honda Pilots caused by debris from manufacturing process. Honda extended warranty to 10 years/150,000 miles for certain VINs. My VIN is excluded despite identical failures and many others complaint of the same issue. Something needs to be done to hold Honda accountable!!!!”

“I am having transmission issues with my 2019 Honda pilot. There is an extended warranty service bulletin out, Honda USA claims my vehicle does not fall under that extended warranty based on the VIN. I am experiencing all of the symptoms of the fuel injector issues that they report in the bulletin. I am unable to get anybody at Honda to help me.”
