2020 Honda Pilot Fuel System Problems

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while driving 25-35 MPH and passing a vehicle on the left side of the vehicle, the vehicle stopped independently. The contact stated that the failure occurred while another vehicle was driving on the lane that was on the right side of the vehicle. The brake warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or to an independent mechanic for a diagnostic test. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving, the message "Emissions Control" was displayed intermittently, and the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to an Auto Part store, where DTC: P219B was retrieved, and the contact was informed that the fuel injectors had failed. The contact stated that the message "Emissions Control" would be displayed when the fuel tank was less than half full. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired.  The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.

My car has always had slight issue getting consistent fuel pressure causing the engine to rev abnormally when giving gas during acceleration. On 11/25, my car failed to start due to the fuel pressure being too low. I brought my car into two mechanics including a Honda certified dealership to inspect an issue with my fuel pump. I was informed that other Honda Pilots of the same year as mine have a recall on their fuel pump, but my VIN was not included. Both mechanics indicated that this is the exact issue that the other Pilots under the recall have and they were not sure why mine was not included. It is pulling the same codes, too, when it went under diagnostic testing as issue with the lower fuel pump.

SUV check engine light for the emissions system came on 11/21/2025. The light does not stay on all the time, it goes on and off ever several days. During my state inspection, dealer diagnosed issue to a P0430 code and ran a cylinder AF test. It revealed that cylinders 2, 5 and 6 failed for rich conditions and stated the fuel injectors require replacement. Both the dealer and honda Corp. stated there is no coverage for this issue. I did find that this issue was found with previous years for my model and make, however my year is not covered for the warrenty extension. Honda service bulletin 20 - 100.

My car was fine. I was driving fine and then I pulled out of my neighborhood and all of a sudden my check engine light started blinking and my car was hesitating and jumping. I pulled over for 10 minutes with the car turned off and then it was fine. It did something similar once before a week prior but I thought it was a one time thing. There are recalls for fuel injectors on the year prior honda pilots. And the mechanic shop said that’s what they would replace when they looked at it.

My issue is with existing recalls of the following: 23V-431 & 23V-858 in that replacement parts are NOT readily available according to multiple phone calls to a local dealership. The dealership responded by placing one on a waiting call list. I’ve owned this Honda Pilot over a year and have FIVE such notifications from Honda America. It is like they prefer I sell it or wreck it to get from under all these notices. Does NHTSA have legal authority to fine or demand Honda America conform to build replacement parts in straight forward i.e., as soon as possible. The vehicle surges up and back when climbing hills or attempting to pass. It is very disconcerting at the least or dangerous at worst. I will appreciate any help NHTSA can provide to get more fuel pumps with proper impellers out quickly.

Vehicle struggles and jerks to keep speed between 1st and 2nd and 3rd gears and jerks trying to accelerate up until around 50 mph check engine light came on and off a few times and information center on car reports exhaust system problem and to take to a dealer, took to autozone to get codes read replaced part it said to replace but problem persisted light came back on took back to autozone same code showing different bay so I took vehicle to Honda dealer and had them do a diagnostic on it which they could not complete without me paying an extra 180.00 for a more in depth diagnostic I paid and they found the fuel injectors not functioning properly and said I need to replace them I declined Honda to do this and took it to a different shop myself to have it done where I trusted the mechanic had all the injectors replaced and same problem is still happening. The breaking assist comes on randomly while driving and hits breaks and shakes steering wheel while flashing (break) but there is nothing in front of me.

In a December 2023 I learned of a recall NHTSA Recall Number23V-858 for my vehicle. The recall states that the fuel pump could stop functioning, thus putting my car at a safety risk for crashing. Honda states that we will have to wait for the parts so this can be repaired. It is now a August 2024 and Honda still does not have the parts to repair this serious safety issue. 8 months later! I use my car daily and am very concerned about the possibility of a serious safety incident caused by Honda’s lack of appropriate replacement parts. This not only puts my life at risk, but others who are driving near me if I crash because of this defective part.

When driving down our street approximately 2 months ago, an error came up for an Emissions System Problem. Over the course of the next week, the car started showing several other error messages, and while driving the transmission felt jittery or like it would stutter while in 1st and 2nd gear. We brought the car to our local Honda dealership to have a recall fixed, and asked them about the issues while they had the car. They advised it was an issue with the fuel injectors but there was no recall for the 2020 Honda Pilot as of yet. I brought the car to an independent service center and they advised the same thing after running the codes and inspecting the vehicle. The vehicle is scheduled for the fuel injectors to be replaced later this week at the independent service center.

High pressure fuel pump stopped working. Vehicle acceleration was impeded. No warning lights/messages.

VIN: [XXX] Year: 2020 Make: Honda Model: Pilot Number of Open Recalls: 1 NHTSA Recall Number: 23V-858 Recall Date: December 18, 2023 Manufacturer Recall Number: XGL The recall of the Honda Pilot fuel pump impeller is still not remedied. It is almost six months and I do not want that some accident will happen before Honda will remedy this recall. I have asked them more than three times already but they said that they are giving priority to those vehicles showing symptoms of the problem. Again, I do not want to see symptoms, more so accidents to happen before they fixed this problem. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I received a letter advising there is a recall on my 2020 Honda pilot for the fuel pump. Based off the information it can be dangerous if not fixed. Called the dealership and they stated would not get part in until winter of 2024. But would fix it if there was an issue. The rep advised to call American Honda and provided the number and they advised to call dealership. I drive my car everyday with my children. I need my recall fixed now. Not in the winter.
