There are 50 owner-reported fuel system complaints for the 2019 Honda Pilotin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
An “Emissions System Problem” warning message appeared intermittently on the dashboard while driving. The warning light would sometimes turn off after restarting the vehicle, but the issue persisted in the vehicle’s stored diagnostic system. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, where a diagnostic scan confirmed a P0430 code (catalyst system efficiency below threshold). The dealer identified the likely cause as failing fuel injectors and recommended replacement of the injector system. The issue was confirmed by the dealership and is reproducible through stored fault codes, even when the warning light is not actively displayed. This condition may impact engine performance, fuel mixture, and emissions system operation. In certain situations, this could lead to reduced engine performance or hesitation, which may affect the ability to safely accelerate or merge into traffic. The vehicle has been regularly maintained according to manufacturer recommendations. There were no significant warning signs prior to the initial dashboard alert other than the intermittent warning message. The failed components (fuel injectors) should be available for inspection upon request through the servicing dealership.
Emission system problem light is on. It says that there is a problem with fuel injector. Low power when accelerating. Engine is working harder than before given low efficiency.
Last year fuel pump in gas tank was fixed/recalled, fixed 2/2025, now 2/2026 the high efficiecy fuel pump in engine bay started making loud noises--no warning/codes--just loud banging noise, mechanic confirmed high efficiency fuel pump failing. search on youtube also confirms many year/models as mine having same issue
Fuel gage read incorrectly staing we had gas and estimated fuel for 70 miles. We stalled while driving. Several error lights came on, car would not start. After researching we saw alot of complaints about fuel Guage issues so we were able to get 2 gal of gas and then make it to a gas station. Took car in for diagnostic, no known problem. ????
The"MIL" reported "Emmisions System Problem" The Dealer stated "DIAG Code P219A" was the underying cause, and the reccomended solution was to "replace fuel injectors and check for PGM updates". I paid for the repairs, and took the vehichle home. After some research I discovered that these symptoms, codes, replacement parts etc.. are all consistant with a Honda Service Bulletin (MC-10183514-0001) as refrenced by NHTSA ID 10183514. where Honda was extending the warentee for the fuel injectors. After reviewing the document I found that my VIN is not included in the scope of the "warentee extension" I opened case number 16127621 with AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. to inquire further and get a reasonable answer as to why my VIN was excluded from scope, they were responsive, but provided no explanation other than my VIN " is not included in this campaign for fuel injector concerns. Unfortunately, your vehicle is not eligible for reimbursement at this time." I would like to have it "on record" that I have voiced concerns suspecting this is not a coinsidence, and the scope of the recall should be expanded.
Noise underwood sounds like valve spring, dealer says high pressure fuel pump. Emissions system problem trouble code on dash. Rough start, vehicle sluggish sometimes, hesitates. Noise gets louder upon acceleration.
Fuel Injector issue - diagnosed at Mike's Automotive, a NAPA AutoCare Center by ASE certified technician. Codes were P0430 and P219B which indicates fuel injector issue. The Emmissions System Problem check engine light goes on and off at random times, reduced fuel economy by almost 5 mpg, hard shifting, stalling. All symptoms are in line with the recall for 2019 Honda Pilots however my VIN is not included in the recall, but I believe it should be. Honda wants me to bring my vehicle to a Honda Dealership to get diagnosed, diagnostic is my cost, though I've already paid for a diagnostic at a different repair shop.
My vehicle keeps pulling up a code intermittently to do with fuel injector issues. The mechanic tells me that it is a fuel injector issue needing replacement. There is a recall for my model of 2019 Pilots, but Honda is saying my VIN is not included in this recall. I find it highly unlikely that this is related due to my fuel injectors are messed up and the machine checking for my engine light issue is pulling the same codes and issues that are covered by the recall on other Pilots. It is very evident that my vehicle and other owners' pilots are having the same fuel injector issues but are also being told their VIN is not covered under this recall. This seems to be a much bigger issue than they are admitting or including in the recall, and this should definitely be reconsidered due to the costly repairs this is for owners experiencing this same manufacture problem.
My car is very hesitant while driving, it pulsates as well. I can be driving at 65mph and next thing I’m doing 45-50 and the engine is sputtering and the dashboard lights up with check engine lights.I know there’s a recall on the fuel injectors for the model year I own but mine is not included in the recall which I think it should be. Scanned the codes and got P0430 and P219B which is the fuel injectors as well as raw fuel making its way back to the catalytic converter. I’ve read of thousands of Honda owners with the same issues of being left high and dry by Honda just because they refuse to include vin numbers that should have been in the original recall. I really hope this recall can be expanded as my car has been babied with only 49K miles on it. Thank you
The car keeps getting a 219a error code intermittently. The dealer states it is the fuel injectors needing replacement. There is a service bulletin for my model of 2019 Pilot , with a warranty extension to 10 years or 150,000 miles but Honda is saying my VIN is exclusionary and want affected. Except, my fuel injectors are bad with the same code and issues as covered by the warranty extension. It seems quite clear that my vehicle and so many other pilot owners with them from this generation are having the same fuel injector issue but being told their VIN is not effected. One needs only to do a quick search online to see that this is bogus and a more widespread problem than honda is taking responsibility for.
Fuel Injectors failed after being replaced less than 50,000 miles ago. This is part of a larger Honda issue noted on Bulletin 21-010. It is causing my car to not accelerate appropriately which is dangerous when on the road. Honda inspected the vehicle and found code P219B. This after finding code P0430 in April 2025 causing me to have to replace catalytic coverters. The emissions system light turned on for each of these issues. Please include my VIN in the safety notice since it is clearly having the same issues as all the other 2019 Honda Pilots.
Dashboard warning "Emissions System Problem". Trouble code - P0430 / Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 2. Brought it in to the dealer, and required the fuel injection to be replaced. There is recall for model year 2016-2019 Honda Pilot V6, but was told by the dealer this car was not part of the recall based on the VIN#. Fuel Pump was having problem, and replaced under recall on 09/28/2023 (54K miles).

We took our honda pilot to our local dealership (Nelson Honda 2500 Greensboro Rd Martinsville Va. 24112) for a recall on the fuel pump motor on 4/16/2025. We noticed when driving the vehicle that it had some hesitation when going up hills. The problem persisted so we finally made an appointment to have it rechecked on 7/30/2025. They advised nothing wrong recommended transmission fluid changed. We went to our local repair shop and had them to look at it and much to our surprise the fuel pump had not been touched. We have pictures and you can tell it hasn't been touch in a long while. When we called the dealership they told us that it was completed and that we should not file a compliant because they are a small dealership. I know that I'm one person but this car is my main transportation and I should be able to trust that when a recall is done that they actually do the work. Any help or assistance that you can give would be greatly appreciated.
