The vehicle experiences a persistent stutter/hesitation while driving, which is especially pronounced during acceleration from a stop or at low to moderate speeds. This condition occurs consistently during normal operation and is not a one-time or intermittent event. The hesitation creates a safety concern when accelerating from intersections, merging into traffic, or maintaining smooth vehicle speed. The vehicle feels as though power delivery is interrupted or unstable during acceleration. Mu

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.
While driving, multiple safety systems suddenly failed at the same time including Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation, and Auto High Beam. All warning lights appeared simultaneously. The vehicle became unsafe to drive relying only on manual control. This appears to be related to the front-facing camera or sensor malfunction. Many other Honda Pilot owners have reported the same issue.
