2013 Honda Pilot UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Vcm2 light appearing causing bank 2 to stop working, vibration and rpm not being able to go above 3000 or 5000

Paint on roof of my 2013 Honda Pilot. First bubbled up the white paint - now 2 large areas the size of basketballs just above the front window. The paint has chipped off and the metal shows underneath. Have an appt to bring to dealer to inspect. Heard its common on 2013-14 Honda's in white. This brings down the value! My vehicle only has 100k.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WE WERE LOADING AN ITEM ON ROOF RACK. THE ITEM LIGHTLY TAPPED THE GLASS SUNROOF AND IT SPIDER CRACKED ALL THROUGHOUT. ON THE WAY HOME, THROUGH NORMAL CITY STREETS, AT SUB-HIGHWAY SPEED, GLASS STARTED RAINING DOWN ON THE FRONT TWO SEATS. THIS GLASS IS NOT TYPICAL WINDSHIELD SAFETY GLASS. SHARDS ARE SMALL AND SHARP AND WENT EVERYWHERE.

I DROVE TO WORK FIRST THING IN THE MORNING (10 MILES) AND PARKED. I NOTICED 10 MINUTES LATER THAT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE? FROM MY LOCATION, I COULD SEE THE FIRE COMING OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE CLOSER TO MY FRONT TIRE. THE FIRE MELTED MY WHOLE DASH AND ENGINE. FRONT TIRES SEEM TO BE PARTLY INTACT FROM FIRE. THE CAR DROVE FINE WITH NO TROUBLES BEFORE THIS HAPPENED???

I KNOW I WOULD.

VEHICLE IS PARKED IN A CARPORT IN THE EVENINGS AND IN A CARPORT AT WORK DURING THE WEEKDAYS. THE PAINT ON THE ROOF BETWEEN THE SUNROOF COMPLETELY PEELED OFF IN SHEETS, LEAVING THE META UNDERNEATH EXPOSED.

PAINT BETWEEN THE SUNROOF AND FRONT WIND SHIELD PEELING OFF.

THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE. EVERYTIME WE OPEN A DOOR TO GET IN OR OUT OF THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR IMMEDIATELY CLOSES. I BELIEVE IT IS A DOOR CHECK ISSUE. THIS IS CONCERNING BECAUSE WHEN TRYING TO GET SMALL KIDS IN AND OUT , THE DOORS DO NOT STAY OPEN, EVEN IF WE ARE ON COMPLETELY FLAT GROUND. ALSO WHEN TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE 3RD SEAT ROW, THE DOOR CLOSES ON ONES FACE, CAUSING ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN. I HAVE A NEPHEW WHO HAD HIS FINGER BADLY SMASHED IN THE DOOR DUE TO THIS SAME ISSUE ON ANOTHER HONDA PILOT. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE THAT SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED OR RECALLED TO BE FIXED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR PAST 3 YEARS.

PAINT STARTING COMING OFF FIRST SMALL CIRCLE THEN MORE AND MORE IT GOES FROM SIDE TO SIDE BETWEEN MY SUNROOF AND WINDSHIELD.

PAINT IS PEELING OFF BETWEEN WINDSHIELD AND SUN ROOF, ON THE HOOD AND FRONT FENDERS. VEHICLE IS 5 YEARS OLD AND IT CLEARLY DELAMINATING, WHICH IS A FACTORY DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

PAINT ON ROOF OF CAR IS PEELING IN SHEETS TO THE BARE METAL. THE DAMAGE IS ON THE ROOF BETWEEN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND SUNROOF. IT APPEARS TO BE A BAD PAINT MIXTURE AT THE PLANT AND HONDA IS NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS MANUFACTURING DEFAULT. THIS CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ISSUES WITH PAINT PEELING ALL THE WAY TO THE BARE SHEET METAL. I'M CONCERNED AS THE METAL IS NOW EXPOSED AND THE ELEMENTS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE (RUST/CORROSION) TO THE METAL AND COMPROMISE THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE ROOF AND THE METAL THAT HOLDS THE WINDSHIELD.

ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHILE STATIONARY AND EXTREME VIBRATIONS WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING ON I65 NORTH OF BIRMINGHAM, AL AT 65-70 MPH WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES CLOSE BY, WE HEARD A LOUD POP AND THEN NOTICED WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AIR COMING INTO THE CABIN. WE PULLED BACK THE SUNROOF SHADE SLIGHTLY AND NOTICED SHATTERED GLASS. WE PULLED OVER TO FIND ABOUT A 4 INCH HOLD IN THE SUNROOF WITH SHATTERED GLASS ALL AROUND IT. WE BROKE OFF AS MUCH AS WE COULD SO OTHER VEHICLES WOULD NOT BE DAMAGED BY THE DEBRIS.

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY HONDA PILOT TOURING MANY MANY TIMES THERE HAS BEEN A HESITATION WHEN EXCELERATING BUT AFTER THE HESITATION IT EXCELERATES. UNTIL THE TIME I WAS GOING UP A HILL ON THE FREEWAY I EXCELERATED AND NOTHING HAPPENED - ABSOLUTELY NO EXCELERATION AT ALL. I HAD LITERALLY A SECOND TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO. I DECIDED TO USE MY MOMENTUM TO MOVE INTO THE SLOW LANE - IN FRONT OF AN 18 WHEELER - AND KEPT MOVING TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED. I TRIED TO START MY CAR AGAIN AND IT STARTED BUT STILLL NO EXCELERATION. I SHUT IT OFF AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT WOULDN'T START. WE WERE 40 MILES TOO FAR FOR THE HONDA TOWING BUT JUST A FEW MILES SHORT WITH AAA. WE HAD AAA TOW IT TO OUR HOME DEALER. THE DEALER COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY THOUGHT THERE WAS DEBRIS IN THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR CAUSING FUEL TRIM FAILURE. LABOR FOR THIS WAS $120.00. MY CAR HASN'T COMPLETELY STOPPED AGAIN BUT IT STILL DOES ITS HESITATION THING. I SEE FROM READING THIS ARTICLE THAT ISN'T JUST MY PROBLEM. I THINK THIS SHOULD TELL HONDA THEY HAVE A PROBLEM THEY NEED TO ADDRESS.

THE CAR HESITATES AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A TURN OR SLOWING DOWN AND THEN ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC. IT DOES ACCELERATE AFTER IT PAUSES, IT IS VERY SCARY TO HAVE IT STOP AND NOT MOVE. THIS VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL ANNOUNCED TODAY, BUT THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY CAR. WILL THERE BE MORE RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM? WE HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE HONDA DEALER WHEN IT WAS NEW, AND AGAIN BEFORE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. THEY DENY THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.

TAKATA RECALL THE 2013 HONDA PILOT LEAKS WATER INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN IF THE CAR IS IN THE RAIN. SO MUCH WATER THAT THE CARPET AND PADDING UNDERNEATH ARE SOAKED AND WATER STANDING ON THE FLOORBOARD OF THE VEHICLE. THE PADDING AND CARPET EVEN AFTER CLEANING HAS BEGUN TO HAVE PROBLEMS AND MOLD BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES. AMERICAN HONDA ADMITS/SAYS IT IS A DESIGN FLAW OF THE CAR, BUT THAT IT IS OUR PROBLEM TO TAKE CARE OF AND NOT TO PARK THE CAR OUTSIDE EVER,

I NOTICED A GRINDING SOUND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN GEAR AND MOVING. THE NOISE GOT LOUDER WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS RUNNING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO BE CHECKED OUT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THE REAR ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS UNUSUAL. I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT IS IS UNUSUAL AND DANGEROUS. I HAVE A 2003 HONDA PILOT THAT I DROVE FOR 10 YEARS. I NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS. I KNOW HOW DANGEROUS MOTOR MOUNT FAILURE CAN BE AS I WAS DRIVING CAR WHEN THE MOTOR MOUNTS FAILED AND CAUSE LOST OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN A CRASH THAT COULD HAVE KILLED THE FOUR OF US RIDING IN THE VEHICLE.

STALLS AND HESITATES WHEN TURNING LEFT ESPECIALLY ON ROUNDABOUTS

MY HONDA PILOT HAS BEEN EXPERIENING AN ENGINE CUT OFF AFTER MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN -- WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENS FOR AT LEAST 4 SECONDS THEN I RECIEVE A RAPID ACCELERATION == I AM AFFRAIND THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO RUN INTO THE BACK OF MY PILOT WHEN I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE AFTER MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN --- PLUS, WHEN I ENTER MY GARAGE AFTER MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN THE CARE DOESN'T RESPOND FOR 3 TO 4 SECONDS == THEN I EXPERIENCE A VERY RAPID ACCELERATIOIN -- I AM AFFRAID THAT ONE DAY I WILL HIT MY GARAGE DOOR.

ONGOING DISTURBING SHUDDER OR VIBRATION APPARENTLY RELATED TO THE VCM/ECO FEATURE. THE RELATIONSHIP SEEMS TO CORRELATE WITH THE VISUAL ECO DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD. THE ISSUE CAN BE CATEGORIZED BY PROGRESSING THROUGH THREE STAGES OR MODES AS SPEED AND DRIVING CONDITIONS VARY. THE FIRST MODE CAN BE CHARACTERIZED AS A HOWLING (SIGNIFICANT AUDIBLE TONE CHANGE) FROM THE ENGINE RIGHT BEFORE THE VIBRATION BEGINS, WHICH IS THE SECOND MODE. THE SECOND MODE IS THE VIBRATION/SHUDDER MOST PREDOMINATELY AROUND 44 MPH, BUT CAN OCCUR AT OTHER SPEEDS - DEPENDING ON THE "LOAD" ON THE ENGINE. THE SHUDDER/VIBRATION CAN VARY FROM A HIGH FREQUENCY VIBRATION (LIKE GOING OVER SMALL NARROW RUMBLE STRIPS) TO A MORE PRONOUNCED SHUDDER, BOTH OF WHICH IS CAN BE FELT BY PASSENGERS AND/OR DRIVER. IN GENERAL, THE PILOT WILL VIBRATE/SHUDDER CONSISTENTLY, APPARENTLY WHEN THE VCM FEATURE IS IN TRANSITION. HOWEVER, ON TWO OCCASIONS, A THIRD MODE OCCURRED: VERY SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH OR SO, BY SURPRISE, THE PILOT SHOOK (FRONT END AREA) TO SUCH A INTENSE DEGREE THAT IT IMPULSIVELY CAUSED THE DRIVER OF THE PILOT TO PULL-OVER AND STOP. NOT KNOWING WHAT REALLY IS GOING ON IS CAUSING SOME TREPIDATION ABOUT WHETHER TO EVEN DRIVE THE CAR. TOOK PILOT INTO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED THESE MODES. DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE VCM RELATED VIBRATIONS AND SAYS THAT IS THE WAY IT WORKS AND NOTHING THEY CAN DO. BUT, TO ME THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. A BRAND NEW (RATHER COSTLY) CAR SHOULD NOT BEHAVE THIS WAY. MOREOVER, IT SEEMS SUCH REGULAR ONGOING VIBRATION/SHUDDERING CAN QUICKLY NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE INTEGRITY OR LONGEVITY OF THE ENGINE/DRIVE TRAIN, ETC., AS MOST MECHANICAL THINGS GENERALLY DO NOT LIKE VIBRATIONS WHICH QUITE OFTEN IS A SIGNIFICANT SOURCE OF WEAR AND TEAR. AS THE OWNER ONE MUST ASK THINGS LIKE: WILL THE ENGINE EVEN "SURVIVE" THIS IN THE LONG RUN? WILL THIS CAUSE MORE FREQUENT REPAIRS?
