I had just bought this vehicle, and only had it 3 days when it begin to idle high and it seemed as if the car was in neutral while I was driving but it wasn't. Then the d light began to blink and then the check engine light came on. I stopped at a car repair place turned the car off, and when the person got in and turned the car back on it was like nothing happened for a few minutes then it started acting up again, but as soon as the car is turned off and then on again it acts normal for a few. I wasn't doing nothing but driving at the time at a speed under 60mph. When I was on the highway going over 60mph it didn't do it at all.

We purchased the 2009 honda pilot from in mid-september in richmond, virginia - one previous owner, serviced regularly, timing belt replaced and transmission fluid replaced at 100,00 miles.in november 2018,as agreed upon when we purchased the vehicle, we brought the pilot into the dealer for repair for the backup camera, a tear in the driver's seat armrest and we also requested that the emissions and engine be checked as the engine and emissions lights were on. The backup camera and tear were repaired and grace's assured us that the engine light and emissions light were okay. The vehicle has been cared, for (oil changed etc) and less than average miles have been put on it as I work locally. However, on sunday, march 24 at 11:40 am, I was driving east on 64 in virginia and suddenly the pilot suddenly stopped accelerating and I pulled over to the side of 64. As I did, smoke began pouring out from under the hood and I could smell gas, smoke and oil and I got out quickly as I was afraid that it was going to catch on fire - I had no idea what could be wrong or what could have happened as we have had no problems with, it and it has been serviced regularly and again, grace's looked at it in november. As the car began to cool off a state trooper and my husband arrived and we were able to check the oil and the coolant - there was oil in the car and coolant but it was quickly leaking all over the ground and the state trooper could not put up flares due to fears of fire. We called triple a and we even found a piece of the motor that had broken off (we have the picture and the piece) and triple a towed the vehicle a mechanic. We were told that the motor/engine suddenly and completely broke and needs to be replaced which is ridiculous and extremely hazardous to all. We are contacting honda as well as there is a class action lawsuit regarding engines in 2009 hondas.

In august, setember of 2015 the eco light would periodically go off then back on. Weather city or highyway at a steady speed. Then the check engine light would come on. This was cycling back and forth for quite some time. We noticed oil consumption between oil changes had increased and gas mileage had dropped. The check engine light stays on constantly now. I contacted a dealer and they had mentioned nothing about the class action suit.

The check engine light came on. I adjusted the fuel cap but it kept coming on...so I took it in to learn that I had little, if any oil. I had the oil changed at the honda dealer less than 2 months prior to this happening! No indicator lights came on to say that the oil was low. I did research online and noted that similar honda owners were having this problem. The oil is leaking at an excessive rate. So I got the oil replaced. Now, 2 months later, the check engine light is back on due to low oil levels, which were just replaced. There is an issue with the oil staying in the vehicle, and there are several complaints with this issue!

The change oil indicator never came on and my engine light came on so I immediately took it to an autozone to have the code checked. It was a code p3497. That was a saturday, I took it to the dealer on monday. They were about to let me drive away with no oil because the code was cleared. I insisted they check into it due to all the complaints online with same problem and it being the computer letting to car use all the oil quickly. It turns out I had no oil, and I had just changed the oil professionally and used the best synthetic in my car. Which should last longer. Very dangerous. Engine could of locked up on a high speed road with my three kids and we could be killed or seriously injured. Please recall the computer problem and parts.

Excessive oil consumption, engine hesitation, misfire, multiple engine lights. When I changed the oil my mechanic told me that the engine did not have a drop of oil and he is not sure if that damaged the engine. He asked me to drive the car and report any problem. A couple of days later I noticed the above symptoms.
