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.
I dropped my car off to have the oil changed and tires rotated. It ran perfectly, just needed routine maintenance. Dealer called and said compliance bushings were leaking and needed to be replaced too. Fine, it was covered under extended warranty. I picked up the vehicle a few hours later and heard a strange noise on the way home that the car wasn't making when I dropped it off. I took it back to the dealer and was told the wheel bearings needed to be replaced. How is this possible?! There was no problem when I dropped it off in the morning. Of course, the dealer claims it did nothing to the vehicle that would have caused this. This too was covered under the extended warranty, but now I am very suspicious of letting this dealership touch my vehicle again.
