Description of the problem | I purchased a new 2019 honda pilot ex-l in december, 2018. I was recently exiting an off ramp from an interstate and when i pressed the accelerator to merge into traffic the vehicle hesitated significantly and the check engine light started flashing. I then continued a few miles which i had remaining to my house and the vehicle would accelerate very poorly and the engine would shake under acceleration. The manual states that a flashing light is an engine misfire. I started the vehicle on monday morning to take it to the local honda dealer and it drove normally down to the dealer. After checking the engine computer they could find no fault codes for the check engine light flashing the day before. They gave me back the vehicle and said there was nothing they could do at this time. I feel that this is a very serious problem and it appears that a few other complaints have been filed for this same issue. Having a vehicle that loses a significant amount of power can be a serious safety issue and i highly suggest that honda look into this matter carefully. This should not happen to a brand new vehicle with 2,200 miles or any vehicle for that matter. |
