I was traveling at about 35mph in a city street and slowly approaching an intersection to make a right turn. Out of a sudden, the car accelerated while my foot was on the brake, crashing into another vehicle and running off the road. Both airbags deployed.

This has happened several times: car is a stopped or slowly rolling and you step on the gas to get into traffic floor to the floor and the car doesn't move. The newest incident today is the car was in motion going approximately 10 mph when it completely died. All power lost, could not steer and had to pump the brake several times to stop. Dealership says verbally over phone no open recalls on car and unless they can…

Sometimes when starting out and making left or right hand turn after being stopped at a stop light or stop sign, the engine will hesitate and bog down for a few seconds before it "kicks in" and then there is a "surge of power". This is very annoying at the least and also very dangerous as one could easily get rearended or worse yet get caught in the intersection in oncoming traffic. *tr

Vehicle shutters terrible at certain speeds/rpm. Have to adjust acceleration to get it to stop. Huge safety issue. Not normal operation for a new vehicle. It's criminal that honda claims its normal. *tr

Vcm (vehicle cylinder management) issue: i purchased a 2013 honda pilot from zimbrick honda (madison wi) in november 2013. Since the first day i bought the vehicle i have been very disappointed and have grave concern regarding the safety of my children when in the vehicle. Driving the new vehicle home i noticed a rumbling and shuttering vibration issue at varying speeds but most consistent with rpm between…

Vehicle vibration/rumbling/shuttering at speeds around 35-55mph. Apparently due to vcm(vehicle cylinder management system) most noticeable when backing off accelerator after vehicle reaches constant speed and eco light is on, but can occur weather eco light is on or not. Vibration is felt through out entire vehicle but as a driver, it is felt through the seat, steering wheel and center console. This vibration is…

Upon applying the brake in an avoidance situation, i noticed the spongy feel to the brakes. What concerns me more, is that during the process of the event, the brake pedal settles down to below the height of the accelerator and if your foot isn't square on the brake pedal, you wind up hitting the gas while trying to stop the vehicle.. I need to talk with someone. This is most certainly a defect in design. *tr

Similar to nhtsa # 10819872 (attached pdf). Vehicle gas pedal/accleration becomes unresponsive when taking foot off gas and maneuvering left/right or around a curve. Trying to re-engage will take 3 seconds or not at all. Remedy is to take foot off gas and pump the gas pedal. This causes vehicle to lurch forward. I have learned to brake torque to regain gas pedal control. This has happened since 9/2013 and it is now…

When trying to accelerate at low speeds or from a stop, there is a 2-5 second hesitation and then a surge. This has happened several times a week since we bought the vehicle. The scariest part is that it is unpredictable. It is especially dangerous when entering busy traffic, which we have a lot of. We have complained to the dealer every time we have taken the vehicle in for regular maintenance. Of course they say…

Often when i step on the gas petal the car hesitates before accelerating. The delay in acceleration is up to 3-5 seconds. Occasionally it feels like the car is going to stall. While it has been happening in the suburban and rural areas since we bought the car in late august, this week i had to drive into and around the city. When i press the gas petal down, the car simply does not move forward and then, without…

Everytime i reached a certain speed then try to maintain it by slightly pressing on the gas, the engine starts to shudder/vibrate. It is really annoying and it concern me a lot. The issue happens in different speed. I brought this complain to the dealership but they said that everything is working normal with the car. So, i just get a long with it. Then after a few more months, the vibration is getting worse and it…

At various speeds there is a very annoying shuddering and vibrating and growling at 45 mph to 68 mph. Just when your ready to have a smooth ride on the highway it begins to shudder in eco...on a straightaway while free wheeling and while i am on cruise control ... If you accelerate or decelerate, it will cease for a second and begin again.. I have even stayed at 68 mph to see how long it would last on a straight…

Shortly after acquiring my new pilot in february of this year i had and incident whereby at a low speed i lost all control of speed and the car began to slow down. Pressing the accelerator did nothing and the car behind me nearly hit me. It troubled me, but thought is was just something odd.. Until it happened again, and again. I have devised a response (remove pressure from the accelerator entirely and reapply…
