Fuel/Propulsion System
With less than 40k miles, the vehicle received a message about an engine problem. Took to dealer and was advised that it would require new fuel injectors, at a cost of approximately $1300. I have had other honda vehicles that have gone 100k miles and more without such problem. This is unacceptable. It should be covered on such a low mileage vehicle reqardless of vehicle age.

Also more electrical issues along with radio and head lights. Something is terribly wrong and ive put alot of money into trying to find out what it is and have…

Fuel/Propulsion System
After fueling, no topping off, drips or leaks, very strong gas odor in interior. So strong couldn't drive. Had to leave it sit with open windows. Strong fuel smell continued throughout day, continued milder smell, but very noticeable next day. Went to dealer, they found no problems. Keeping it overnight. After research honda knows about problem but has no current fix or offers of buyback.

Fuel/Propulsion System
Fragments from the manufacturing process of fuel injectors are clogging the fuel system and cause failure for a properly running engine. Accelerating especially is worrisome as the engine is misfiring. American honda motor company is aware and has a tsb for this. We are not driving is at this time because honda dealership says it is not safe to drive.

Engine is revving on its own @ 3000 rpm with no foot on the gas pedal or driving 15 mph and the engine is @ 4500 rpm with no foot on the gas pedal. My wife was in the pickup lane at my children's school and she told me that she had to hold the brake down & turn off the ignition because it felt like the honda pilot was going to accelerate on its own into the pickup line at the school. Now you see why i said this…
