Blinking check engine light, van-4 and vsa light are all on. I went to get a code and it was a misfire. This happened the past summer and I got it replaced. Happened again a few weeks later and they fixed it. Every since then it happens from time to time. I looked this up on the internet and it said honda was fixing the issue free of charge 2017 and earlier. I didn't purchase my vehicle until october of 2017. And was told none of this.

We were told by several service technicians at the wolfchase honda in bartlett, tn that there was a recall on all 2010 honda pilots, (ours is a touring fwd), due to a miss-firing issue. We purchased our pilot 9/2015 and repeatedly reported that the car was miss-firing, which caused the check engine light to appear. When we took it in for oil changes, the techs would tell us to do a gas treatment, such as lucas (they did it once themselves), or to change the air and cabin filters. We did that, and the problem persisted. Upon each oil change, the dealership would just reset the check engine light and tell us nothing else was wrong. We have since checked for complaints on the web, and saw that numerous consumers have the same issue & a law suit settlement . We have contacted american honda, and now that the recall is out of their timeframe for repairs, (ended 10/2017) they refuse to do anything about it. We have complained about the problem even before the recall period ended, but all they did was a "quick fix" of changing the spark plugs to "appear" to correct the issue. There have been unexpected "surges" of the engine while in motion on a city street, which almost caused an accident that could've injured or killed our family, which includes 2 elementary aged children. They never did the second step of replacing the piston rings if the problem persisted, because of the recall date. This was by design so the buyer would have to eat the cost ($2448 + tax). American honda and wolfchase honda (dealership), knew about the recall on this model of pilot, even at purchase time, but did not tell us, nor did american honda ever send a recall notice for it. Although they did send one for the takata airbags that was all over the news. Since apparently, the media hasn't heard of this problem, honda decided to just ignore it and deny any claims honda consumers have.

Cruising on the highway the "check engine" light came on and car started putting and decelerating (loss of power). Pressing on the gas paddle could hardly sustain speed. Drove to dealership and it was determined that it was a faulty spark plug. The same has happened before with another spark plug (that time under warranty) . According to honda dealer spark plugs are replaced at 100,000 miles and this vehicle has 40,000 miles. Since it happened twice already most likely it will happen again and it is a defective series of spark plugs. Honda us declined to assist stating that it is out of warranty (even though the dealership did include it under warranty understanding that this is un-acceptable). This seems to be a prevalent problem in honda pilot (see other complaints on the internet). Can you help? I would like honda to replace all spark plugs.
