I purchased my 2017 Pilot new from Honda. Around 10,000 miles a code appeared and said Emissions problem and a picture of my engine. I immediately called Honda and took in to service dept. They said my fuel injectors need to be replaced and gave me an extended 150,000 warranty on injectors. Everything ok for awhile…until I hit around 60,000 to 80,000. The emissions engine light came on suddenly then after a few drives/ turning off then on engine it went away. I talked to Honda about this concern they said if light not staying on could be nothing more than a misfire or need to do a tune up. I did the required tuneup …. Emissions engine light still appearing off and on. Now the emissions engine light hardly goes off and has been doing this since around 117,000 miles and I just recently having issues with key faub auto start working since this engine light on … it now won’t work. I took to Honda again recently and they wanted to do the diagnostic test to see for sure the codes. Honda still can’t determine what the issue is… Honda says my injectors, catalytic converter passed the tests. Honda at a loss and so am I. I’m afraid my engine could fail me while driving with my family .., and I take my car to the place that should be able to fix and they don’t even know what’s causing the engine problems.
2017 Honda Pilot fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 6: complaints 41 to 70 of 142, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My car for a long time has had the errors/emissions engine light on and when Honda has performed the diagnostic testing they say it could be the oxygen sensor or catalytic converter or fuel injectors or many other things...I've replaced the oxygen sensor recently and the light still on and doesn't go off. I think my car issue needs to be investigated and a recall performed. I see other recalls for my year and make of vehicle but when I enter my VIN its not saying no recall at this time. I feel like Honda doesn't know what is wrong with my car and of course at this point my car's is not under warranty and the fuel injectors they had replaced when I had around 10,000 or 20,000 miles on my car that also is now not covered on any warranty. Please help , all I want is my car to not have this light on every time I drive it. Thank you for looking into this for me.
We are going through gas at a very accelerated rate. We were told in September that there was a recall for a fuel related part. We were told this by AutoFair Honda in Manchester, New Hampshire, where we purchased the vehicle. We were then told that appointments for the recall repairs would be made in November. Upon calling today, They are claiming there's never been such a recall. I was told by three different representatives over the course of the past two months that they're still awaiting appointment times because they don't have the parts in to do the recall repair. It's a 17.5 gallon tank and we have to fill it twice a week and don't do a lot of driving- enough is enough.
Car shut down while driving on highway. After 10 Seconds, restarted but engine was sputtering along.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - Our call has stalled 3 times within a month. I looked online to see what could be the issue. It states there is a recall for a fuel pump issue but I looked online and it is saying our VIN isn't effected? I don't see how that would be the case if we are having the issue many others have noted. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - It has stalled while trying to pull out of a parking lot and shuts off. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? - Not yet. It is random. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - I have an appointment with them in a couple weeks. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? - No it has lost propulsion while we have been on road trips but never any lights.

engine misfires, rough idling, decreased fuel economy, and a check engine light due to potential clogging or wear within the injectors, sometimes caused by debris from the high-pressure fuel pump
The car engine was revving up intermittently, with rough shifting of gears, poor acceleration and 3 of the dashboard malfunction indicator lights activating - emission system, transmission system, and blind spot information system. Car still at dealer.
High pressure fuel pump failed at 57,500 miles.
I have a recall for fuel pump malfunction that was announced in December 2023. The first time I was notified was in February 2024 and today we are at the end of October 2024 (240 days) and there has been no update. My car failed to start twice and the battery was in good shape in May and July. The car constantly hesitates when trying to accelerate. Every time, I call a Honda dealer they tell me that the replacement for the item is not available. Upon checking for some affects that might be caused as a result of this recall, the fuel filter might get bad due to bad fuel pump, it might also affect the function of the fuel injectors, valves, and the whole fuel system. Honda wants to charge me just to take a look into this incident. I feel unsafe driving on highways or even in local areas as every time I try to accelerate, the car fails to go to full power and I am afraid that the car behind might hit me from the back if my car stops due to fuel pump failure. If the manufacturer or the dealer is unable to replace this part, I feel that they should change my car to a new car as I have been driving with this issue for over 8 months now with no visible progress.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding Honda's refusal to address a known issue with my 2017 Honda Pilot Touring AWD, despite the existence of a service bulletin. My vehicle has been consistently experiencing error code P0430, which pertains to the catalytic converter and emissions system. This error happens while driving several times. Honda has issued a service bulletin (the federal safety agency ID: 10187006) to address this very issue, accessible in the attachement. I scheduled an appoitnment at Honda to request the repair outlined in the bulletin. Unfortunately, they have refused to perform the necessary repairs due to my vehicle having a salvage title. I want to emphasize that although my vehicle has a salvage title, there has never been any engine or mechanical damage that would affect the emissions system or components causing this error code. Additionally, I am not alone in experiencing this issue. Many members of the Honda Pilot community have reported the same problem, and there is a large Facebook group where numerous owners are discussing their frustrations with the P0430 error code. This widespread issue further demonstrates that Honda needs to address the defect, regardless of a vehicle's title status, particularly since it is unrelated to any previous damage or title condition. It is disappointing that Honda is using the salvage title as a reason to deny what should be a covered repair, as the service bulletin explicitly addresses this mechanical defect. Given the direct impact this has on emissions compliance and potentially broader safety and environmental concerns, I am seeking the federal safety agency’s assistance in urging Honda to comply with their own service bulletin and perform the necessary repairs. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope for a swift and fair resolution to ensure my vehicle is properly repaired according to the service bulletin.
After driving for over 30 minutes, mixed highway and road, at a stop light, the autostart failed, engine turned off, and went into neutral, w/ a warning the autostart failed. Put into park and restart engine. Cars honking, got the car started after 30 seconds or so. Did not immediately go into park when pushed!

car hesitates when accelerating at both low and high speed, check engine light is also on now. It started several years back, but problem has became worsen.

Additionally, the power steering and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle then stalled each time. The vehicle was restarted after approximately four attempts. The contact stated that after the first and second failures, DTC code: P0087; was retrieved on a handheld diagnostic scanner. The contact associated the failure with the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 21V215000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 179,831.
I have had a problem with my vehicle throwing the same codes for over a year and my mechanic and I could not figure out the problem. Finally he ran a report and showed me that these codes match recalls that should have been done on my vehicle but have not been done. I don't know who put it in the system that they had done it but my vehicle is not safe or okay and the dealership won't address my problems because their system shows that it was already fixed.
This vehicle has continued to have faulty fuel injectors. Upon investigation I found that American Honda Motor Inc. submitted a recall and that it was covered under warranty. I am a department of State employee overseas with this American made vehicle which has faulty fuel injectors. I asked that the Honda American company provide the fuel injector parts to the Mexican Honda company so my vehicle could be fixed and they refused. According to their customer service representatives “the warranty does not extend past the United States” and therefore they are not responsible for the faulty fuel injectors.
Very loud noise coming from high pressure fuel pump and intake hose (connector) is vibration rapidly. Had to replace high pressure fuel pump. American Honda Motor Co., Inc. was contacted and no help. Case #14731590

Had an “Emission system” problem in Jan. 2024. The Honda services replaced fuel injector and other parts relating to the problem. However, 1,000 miles after the same problem showed up again and was told on 6/10/24 by the Honda services that problem is the same again after running a test. I tried contacting American Honda to check any recall and found out that anything relating to fuel injector has extended warranty. Today, 6/11/24, after I demand for free car loaner Honda services called to tell us that this time it was the catalityc converter fails. I’m very concern whether telling me the truth or not.

After owning 2017 pilot (brand new) for 3 to 4 years, started experiencing intermittent stalling at stops when auto idle engaged. Similar to many other complaints, car would stall out, entering into an accessory mode. At times takes several attempts to restart the car. Have replaced battery and had the software update related to the issue done at the dealer. However, the issue persists and we now much remember to turn off the auto idle feature every time we start the car, or else we will end up stalled after a stop - usually creating a very dangerous situation and infuriating the drivers around us.
Emission system problem light continues to come on and car doesn’t run the way it’s supposed to. Code reads something to do with fuel
When I turned on the engine for me 2017 Honda Pilot, check engine light and every system in the car had a problem. "AWD system problem", "Emissions system problem", "Steering problem" and many more. Went to the local honda dealer and they diagnosed it as a high pressure fuel pump problem. There is a recall for this fuel pump for te 2017-2020 Honda Pilot, but for the VIN # for my Pilot, there is no recall. That does not make any sense. Now I have to spend almost $2,000 to replace the fuel pump, which should be recalled.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while driving at 75 MPH, an abnormal, squeaking noise began to emit from the vehicle. As the contact continued to drive, the squeaking noise turned into a rattling noise as several warning messages then appeared on the instrument panel. The contact initially pulled over to call for assistance but managed to reach their destination despite the failure. The next day, the vehicle was taken to a dealer where a diagnostic was performed, and the vehicle was then diagnosed with engine failure. Upon investigation, the contact discovered the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The manufacturer was notified about the recall and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 105,000.
It is the fuel pump recall I am in need of replacement. I have went to Honda and tried to have them look at it and they gave me a complete run around. My car begins to jerk and when I go to speed up the car doesn’t like to go. Honda said it wasn’t the fuel pump but I have had it looked else where and it is the pump. I drive everyday with my kids in the car. I feel like this is causing me anxiety and my safety for me and my kids.
I was driving in 80 mph traffic in and my car instantly lost all power while alarms starting blaring while I was changing lanes. I was unable to brake or to accelerate and had to coast — over 6 lanes of 5:00 traffic to a stop and was lucky we weren’t killed. According to the dealer, it’s a known issue with the fuel injectors and Honda is planning to repair it at their cost, but have no idea when they can do it because the parts are not available. We absolutely are lucky we weren’t killed.
