Thanks for this information. My 2017 is doing exactly the same thing and my wife was almost in a major accident, attempting to make a right hand turn. Our local service shop diagnosed the issue as transmission related. The vehicle has now been at the dealership for a week and they have "been unable to recreate" the issue and are telling me to come pick it up or else...not only has Honda produced a faulty transmission, but has failed to produce the necessary recall. I will immediately drive to the Toyota dealer and trade it in for a Highlander. I have owned Pilots since 2010, but will never buy another Honda due to poor product, but more importantly I have lost trust in the brand.

First of all I really appreciate Tim Lampe's effort to share his story about the Honda 2017 transmission problem. It was a great help! The exactly same problem occurred in my Honda 2017 EX-L (6-speed transmission; almost 2 years old; mileage: 37K) in May 2019 and I was so concerned about the problem. I showed Tim's video to the service manager in my local Honda dealer. My local Honda dealer diagnosed the problem and then replaced defective fluid pressure switch that was mentioned in Tim's video. It seems that now Honda headquarter knows the common problem and they have released an appropriate solution to service departments in Honda dealers.

150. Those who disbelieve in God and His messengers, and want to separate between God and His messengers, and say, "We believe in some, and reject some (laws of God) ," and wish to take a path in between. 151. These are the unbelievers, truly. We have prepared for the unbelievers a shameful punishment. 152. As for those who believe in God and His messengers, and make no distinction between any of them-He will give them their rewards. God is Forgiver and Merciful. 153. The People of the Scripture (Bible followers) challenge you (Prophet Muhammed) to bring down to them a book from the sky. They had asked Moses for something even greater. They (children of Israel) said, "Show us God plainly." The thunderbolt struck them for their wickedness. Then they took the calf for worship, even after the clear proofs had come to them. Yet We pardoned that, and We gave Moses a clear authority. 154. And We raised the Mount above them in accordance with their covenant, and We said to them, "Enter the gate humbly", and We said to them, "Do not violate the Sabbath", and We received from them a solemn pledge. 155. But for their violation of their covenant, and their denial of God's revelations, and their killing of the prophets unjustly, and their saying, "Our minds are closed." In fact, God has sealed them for their disbelief, so they do not believe, except for a few. 156. And for their faithlessness, and their saying against Mary mother of Jesus Christ A monstrous slander. 157. And for their saying, "We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of God." In fact, they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them as if they did. Indeed, those who differ about him are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it, except the following of assumptions. Certainly, they did not kill him. 158. Rather, God raised him up to Himself. God is Mighty and Wise. 159. There is none from the People of the Scripture (Christians & Jews) but will believe in him (the real Jesus) before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them. 160. Due to wrongdoing on the part of the Jews, We forbade them good things that used to be lawful for them; and for deterring many from God's path. 161. And for their taking usury, although they were forbidden it; and for their consuming people's wealth dishonestly. We have prepared for the faithless among them a painful torment. 162. But those among them firmly rooted in knowledge, and the believers, believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you; and the observers of prayers, and the givers of charity, and the believers in God and the Last Day-upon these We will bestow an immense reward. 163. We have inspired you, as We had inspired Noah and the prophets after him. And We inspired Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and Jesus, and Job, and Jonah, and Aaron, and Solomon. And We gave David the Psalms. 164. Some messengers We have already told you about, while some messengers We have not told you about. And God spoke to Moses directly. 165. Messengers delivering good news, and bringing warnings; so that people may have no excuse before God after the coming of the messengers. God is Powerful and Wise. 166. But God bears witness to what He revealed to you. He revealed it with His knowledge. And the angels bear witness. Though God is a sufficient witness. 167. Those who disbelieve and repel from God's path have gone far astray. 168. Those who disbelieve and transgress; God is not about to forgive them, nor will He guide them to any path. 169. Except to the path of Hell, where they will dwell forever. And that is easy for God. 170. O people! The Messenger (MUHAMMAD) has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe-that is best for you. But if you disbelieve, to God belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. God is Omniscient and Wise. 171. O People of the Scripture! (I.e. Bible followers) Do not exaggerate in your religion, and do not say about God except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the Messenger of God, and His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers, and do not say, "Three." (Trinity) Refrain-it is better for you. God is only one God. Glory be to Him-that He should have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and God is a sufficient Protector. 172. The Messiah (Jesus) does not disdain to be a servant of God, nor do the favored angels. Whoever disdains His worship, and is too arrogant-He will round them up to Himself altogether. 173. But as for those who believe and do good works, He will pay them their wages in full, and will increase His grace for them. But as for those who disdain and are too proud, He will punish them with an agonizing punishment. And they will find for themselves, apart from God, no lord and no savior. 174. O people! A proof has come to you from your Lord, and We sent down to you a clear light. 175. As for those who believe in God, and hold fast to Him, He will admit them into mercy and grace from Him, and will guide them to Himself in a straight path. www.quranwow.com

And I’ll tell you, they should pay me back the $580 I had to pay which was the “reduced” price. But what’s funny is immediately after this start happening, I had an issue with the emissions. It turned out my fuel injectors went bad during this episode. And without me saying anything to them, they said a goodwill gesture where I only paid 10% out of the $1500 and I find that suspect. They were telling me they weren’t going to pay things because I was over the 36,000 miles. And to me, that’s telling me that Honda is not standing behind the quality of their vehicles pass the 36,000 miles even though it’s only two years old. I drive a lot and I take care of my cars.

Honda has long been known for using problematic transmissions in their vehicles. Not always but through the years far too often. It betrays a philosophy of using unproven and unreliable equipment made by others. This particular transmission is made by ZF in germany who otherwise enjoys an excellent reputation for longitudinally placed trannys. Chrysler also uses this transmission in their Jeep line. and we all know that whatever Jeep is known for it is NOT for being a reliable vehicle. Need I say more?

Today I took it for another oil change as I am (was) taking a trip to Florida next week. Service staff comes out saying “I have bad news. You need a new transmission”. Extended warranty will cover minus deductible but it will take almost 2 weeks for an after market transmission to get to the shop. My trip to Florida is ruined. I am going to lose so much money here. Nothing the dealership will do to help, unless I pay them an additional $1300 to get a Honda transmission.

I have been saying repeatedly that it most likely is a transmission fluid pressure sensor. Typical with hondas/acuras, not just pilots. Follow these steps: when diagnosing a problem start from most basic to most difficult as process of elimination: Before following the steps below: Press start button twice untill all lights light up but DO NOT start car. Then, step on the gas and hold it for about 15 to 20 seconds. The check engine light should go off. Once the check engine light goes out, release gas pedal. Then, turn car off. Wait a few seconds then start car. Try driving again. From my research I found out you can reset the transmission with this procedure. 1- check battery voltage. It should be 12.4 or 12.6V. Static charge. Check terminals to maje sure are clean and tight. Believe it or not a simple battery problem can affect shifting as these cars have electronic shifters in which electricity disruption can cause problems. If you recently replaced battery and installed new one and have a bunch of warning lights it was because of you failed to save preset settings for idling, throttle position, radio codes, vsa, etc. A "hard starting" is necessary in which both battery cables must be disconnected, starting with negative then touch them together for 25 seconds.. Making sure both cables are away from battery terminals, of course. Then reconnect them positive to positive terminal then negative to negative terminal. Then, you must drive vehicle for several miles at different speeds and rpms to allow smog and ready monitors to establish themselves. The ECU will be able to make the necessary adjustments. This will require several driving cycles. 2- Bad multi fuse or fuse link. Burned or severed fuse filaments. Check fuses. 3- updates on soft ware. For that, it must be taken to the dealership. 4- Dirty transmission fluid and filter. Change fluid and filter with ONLY honda approved. 5- Harneess loose, corroded, wire in harness frayed or damaged. Inspect them 6- Transmission fluid pressure sensors failed. One must have failed causing hard shifting and loss of power. They should have a reference of 5V. This doesn't necessarily mean a transmission problem. Connect a scanner on a DLC port and if possible pull out codes. 7- Do your own research and check for TSBs, recalls, etc. Immediately inform dealer.

Upsetting that the computer would not store a trouble code, instead the code was only found while it was doing this. The dealer did give me a copy of the report. According to the report, when this issue occurs the transmission only uses first and fourth gear. That’s why there is such a hard shift. Fixed, but not a done deal. I wrote up a complaint to Honda. There should be a service bulletin on this because this dealer did not have a clue at first. Maybe a recall if this is happening too often.

When jerking transmission during shifting is generally caused by a very dirty transmission fluid and filter or a bad transmission pressure sensor. Start with the following: 1- Check and scan for codes even if no check engine light is present. 2- If no codes, check condition of trans fluid. If dirty replace with ONLY honda trans fluid and filter. If you don't use OE trans fluid or filter, you will have worse problems. 3- Nine times out of ten, is one of the transmission pressure sensors which go bad; sometimes from the factory. They are located outside of transmission, which means your transmission is ok, its just one of the sensors that has gone bad.

My 2017 Honda Pilot had the same exact issue. It didn't start until I had the car for 18 months. It wouldn't do it for the leasing agent. I picked the car up after the third visit to the mechanic and as I was leaving their parking lot, it started. I drove around the block and came back to the mechanic. I called them to let them know it was doing it and to have a mechanic get in the car with me. When it happened, he could not believe it. I had a new 2019 Honda Pilot within 4 days because the mechanic said it was a hazard. My new 2019 Pilot has been fine up until this weekend. Guess what...it is doing it now. and it only has 9,000 miles on it. What was the final solution for your car? Please let me know and thanks.

I am afraid to drive my Honda Pilot 2017 now, I noticed when I bought it that the shock is too weak, every bump. I feel on the road, bad shock absorber. I noticed that, when I put my honda to stop with the airconditioning on and started it back, I will hear a very hard sound, as something broke. I never experienced this in my Honda Accord 2001, all this problem. The quality of their Honda SUV is the same quality now of American vehicle, Sub par. I should buy a High lander instead.

I went to the dealership and the scan it and They said theres a Code. But they said they do not know what it means but i know they know but dont want to make because it is under extended warranty. I was frustrated i bring the car home by a trans fluid and i change the fluid. It was fine for almost 4 months trans problem on dashboard did not appear. But after that while driving in the highway in appeared again i dint want to go to dealership because i know they will not help me. What i did was i again chane the the trans fluid i now with new filter. It was fine for six months but only last week while drive in the highway i accelerate and my wife smell that there is something like burning and transmission problem appeared again. I cool it down for one night the day after i drive in the highway but it did not appear but i know theres something wrong in the transmission. Maybe the sensor or something i dont know.

I have taken the car into multiple honda dealerships. they couldn't replicate the issue, but with the diagnostic code P0471, they are recommending transmission replacement , which costs around $7000. I am wondering if replacing the pressure switch fixed the issue for your honda ? or is it really have to do with the transmission replacement ? Please advise. Any help is really appreciated.

Well, so much for the Odyssey. I am glad I ran across your post. Do you still have this vehicle? I like the low center console in the 2016 and newer Honda Pilots, but I ruled them out because of these transmission problems. I thought the Odyssey might be a good alternative until I read your post, since the Odyssey also has a low center console between the two front seats. My online research identified the 2018 as one of the better models, so if you are having the same transmission problem, that is concerning. About a week ago, I test drove a 2015 Honda Pilot and loved everything about it except for the prominent center console, which made me feel boxed-in in the driver seat. That was literally the only reason I did not buy that vehicle that day.
