2022 Honda Pilot Black Edition 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
We bought a 2022 Pilot Black Edition in July 2022. The ride, handling, and interior beats the Highlander and Explorer hands down. Then at Christmas . . . after stopping at a light on a highway, the vehicle struggled to accelerate past 25 mph and the steering wheel began violently shaking - with traffic pushing me from behind and honking at me. Check engine light was solid orange. Limped … to the nearest gas station and shut it off for 10 minutes. Drove 20 miles home without incident. Honda dealer called it a "phantom misfire." Said they've had reports of 15 other V6 Hondas (including Passports and Odysseys) with the same problem. They said they found water in the intake manifold and think that may have caused it, but they are not sure. Less than 4 weeks later, it happened again at a busy intersection off an I-94 exit. Loss of power, violent shaking of the steering wheel at 20-25 mph. Brought it back to the dealer. They have no clue. The service manager thinks it may be related to cold weather. Other service tech said there was water in the intake manifold again. But they aren't sure. Mystery problem, with no known fix, and they are crossing their fingers for Honda Tech to figure out a fix. They nonchalantly tell us to keep driving it and simply pull over and stop/start whenever it happens on narrow hwys with traffic buzzing around us. Dealer offered to "help us" by buying it back for $20K less than what we paid for it 6 months ago. Hard pass. Does anyone else have this problem with Honda? I'm not finding much on Google re this issue, but if 15 other people reported the problem to my dealer, this has to be a relatively common problem with newer V6 Hondas. This was my 6th Honda in the past 30 years; I'll never buy one again.
