Description of the problem | My car showed up warning message "emissions system problem" when in motion and it is really scary as the vehicle was having passengers (including kids) and in the highway driving. I couldn't focus on what to do but rather stop on the side of the road. Then i was able to do bit of google and got to know this is a common issue with the 2016-17 honda pilot and i can drive the car to home with the warning. Car is having 33k miles on it and still under the warranty. It has all the recommended maintenance work done according to the manufacturer recommendations. After i got the warning message at night, the very next day i drove it to the honda agent and they checked the car and they mentioned there is a software update needed to be done and needs injector replacement. They also mentioned they are getting pilots with this error more often now and i am not alone. The error code it shows is 'p0430'. A brand new vehicle with just 33k miles getting injector replacement is not what is mentioned in the owners manual. If this is getting again and again the cost of owning the car seems really expensive and worthless. Specially with the issues of emissions the car may stall anywhere and create a safety hazard for the passengers and others on the road. I would recommend honda comes in and fix this issue in all the 2016-17 pilot cars even outside the basic warranty as a recall without putting their customers in trouble. Thanks. |
