CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012-2013 Honda Pilot have a small complaint trend of owners reporting the engine hesitates sometimes when accelerating.
While it's not a widespread trend with the Pilot, it's a little concerning because of the possibly safety ramifications. While it's certainly something to keep in mind, most Pilot owners are not experiencing this problem.
Car used to shudder just when going into ECO mode, but now it does it all the time at steady speeds between 40 and 75 mph. Passengers are even annoyed by it. Ready to trade it in on anything else that will run smooth. DEALER SAYS IT IS NORMAL! If it's normal I am surprised anyone would or could put up with it!
