2022 Honda Pilot problems

“Multiple dashboard warnings appeared simultaneously and deactivating Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS), Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation, Auto High Beam, Blind Spot Information, and Brake System warning. While on cruise control vehicle tends to slam brakes with no reason and nothing in front - major safety issue for driver.”

“The contact owns a 2022 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that the rear passenger's side brake light was intermittently inoperable. The dealer was contacted and provided an estimate for the repair. In addition, the contact stated that several warning lights and messages, including "Air Bag Malfunction", "Adaptive Cruise Control Problem", "Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem", "Road Departure Mitigation Problem", and "Auto High Beam Problem", were displayed upon starting the vehicle and while driving, followed by a loud dinging sound. The dealer was contacted for a battery replacement estimate. The dealer provided an estimate but informed the contact that a diagnostic test was required prior to any repairs. The contact believed that deactivating the Auto START/STOP system might have caused the battery failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the failure might be associated with the short lifespan of the battery. The failure mileage was approximately 101,000.”

“The issue occurred on 9-15-2026. The engine started making a very noticeable knocking sound, (obviously a rod knock). We immediately parked the vehicle until it could be towed to a Honda dealer. The dealership confirmed it was rod knock, and suggested we put a new short block engine in. Thankfully I noticed before the rod was thrown because if it was it could cause a fire, or cause loss of control due to damage to the power breaks, and power steering. The dealership confirmed it was the connecting rod bearings, and they confirmed there were oil shavings in the oil pan. I have saved all of the paperwork. I tried to work with Honda to have the repair covered because they just had a class action lawsuit filed that covered this exact issue on 2016-2020 models, and they refused even though this vehicle uses the same engine that the 2016’s-2020’s used.”

“My front camera has stopped working and displaying six warnings. It is available for inspection. 3 of the warnings are a definite issue. The collision mitigation system is not working. Road departure mitigation system is not working and the lane keeping assist system is not working. The other one that are not working are Auto high-beam is not working and the Adaptive cruise control is not working. Also the brake system light stays on. The problem was confirmed by a independent service center. Has not been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance reps or others. There was no warnings at all. In the morning everything was work fine. When leaving work started my vehicle and all these warnings popped up and has came in ever since. It's been an issue since August 2026.”

“My 2022 Honda Pilot has experienced a serious safety malfunction involving its Idle Stop system. When the vehicle stopped and Idle Stop activated, the vehicle unexpectedly shifted into Neutral and would not allow me to shift back into Drive. I had to turn the vehicle completely off and restart it before I could drive again. This left the vehicle temporarily unable to move in traffic. Since XXX, the vehicle has required five replacement batteries, three installed by Honda dealerships and two elsewhere. In XXX, Honda sent us a letter titled "PGM-FI Idle Stop Software Update" and "Warranty Extension: Engine Does Not Auto Restart After Entering Auto Idle Stop." The notice referenced Honda Service Bulletins 23-008, 23-009, and 23-010. During our most recent visit to Honda of [XXX], the dealership diagnosed a failed battery and charged us $634 for replacement parts and labor. When we picked up the vehicle, we specifically asked whether Honda's PGM-FI software update had been performed. The service representative stated that the update was unnecessary because diagnostic testing did not identify the issue. We have not received confirmation that the software update was…”
