The contact owned a 2006 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that initially, her check engine light had been illuminated on her instrument panel. She then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who replaced both her fuel injectors and spark plugs. The mechanic then took the vehicle to a dealer since the check engine light remained illuminated on the instrument panel. The PCM software was updated by the dealer; however, the light still remained. Upon picking up the vehicle, the contact was informed that her check engine light remained illuminated due to a misfire in cylinder#1. The contact was assured by the mechanic that the vehicle passed the PCM test and that the vehicle was safe to drive. While dropping her child off at school, a cloud of white smoke began to emit from the hood of the vehicle. The vehicle quickly became engulfed in flames as the contact exited the vehicle. The authorities were called to the scene and the local fire department was able to extinguish the fire. A fire and police report were filed. No injuries were reported. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was deemed a total loss. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle was destroyed. The failure mileage was approximately 256,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH I HEARD A TICKING NOISE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS THEN IT WENT AWAY. SHORTLY THEREAFTER MY VTM-4 LIGHT CAME ON AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. THIS CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL OUT AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN A 4 WAY INTERSECTION AT 11PM. WITH THE HELP OF A PERSON WHO HAPPENED TO BE WALKING BY, THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED INTO A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD THAT THE SPARK PLUG IN CYLINDER 2 SHOT UP OUT OF THE CYLINDER, DAMAGED THE THREADS AND EXPLODED. I HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS ISSUE ON MANY FORUMS WITH THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM. NOW I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN COMMON WITH THESE ENGINES BUT NOT ADDRESSED AS A RECALL.

MY 2006 HONDA PILOT STARTED TO SHOW THE P0301 ERROR CODE AND HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VTM-4 CAUTION LIGHT COME ON SUDDENLY. BOTH LIGHTS CAME ON WHEN I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ON A MONDAY MORNING. THE DAY BEFORE I HAD DRIVEN MY CAR ABOUT 20 MILES ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND ABOUT 2 MILES ON CITY ROADS. THE LIGHTS WERE NOT ON AT THAT TIME NOR WERE ANY OBSTACLES HIT, SUCH AS POTHOLES, AND NO CHANGE IN THE DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CAR WERE EXPERIENCED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHICH DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A MISFIRE IN THE NUMBER ONE CYLINDER CAUSED BY FAULTY VALVES. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN IT TO A SHOP WHICH RECONDITIONS AND REPAIRS ENGINES AS A SPECIALTY. THEY FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM AND ALSO FOUND THAT THE INTAKE SNORKEL WAS SPLIT IN TWO. LOOKING ONLINE IT APPEARS THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2009 TO 2012 HONDA PILOTS WHICH EXPERIENCED SIMILAR FAILURES WHICH HONDA USA SETTLED. I AM CONCERNED A SIMILAR FAULT HAPPENED IN MY 2006 HONDA PILOT AND WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE BASED ON HONDA'S SETTLEMENT.

ATTENTION!!! ALL PILOT/ODDY/RIDGELINE/3.5 V6 HONDA OWNERS. CHECK YOUR PLUGS AND COILS JUST WANTED TO GET THE WORD SPREAD AROUND THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE HONDA 3.5 V6 ENGINE WHICH CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE CYLINDER HEAD AND POSSIBLY THE ENTIRE ENGINE. I DIDN'T LEARN OF THIS UNTIL RECENTLY, WHEN THE SPARK PLUG IN THE #5 CYLINDER SHOT OUT OF THE HEAD AND DESTROYED THE COIL, AND TRASHED THE THREADS. I FOUND A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO, AND ALL OF THE RESULTS AREN'T GOOD. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH WAS THROUGH HONDA CARE DENIED MY CLAIM BECAUSE THEY SAID IT WAS DAMAGE FROM THE SPARK PLUG AND THEY DON'T COVER SPARK PLUGS. WHAT A LOAD. IF THEY WANT TO PLAY THAT GAME, WHAT THE HECK WOULD THEY EVER HAVE TO COVER? SORRY SIR, THERE'S A SHORT IN YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BUT IT'S BECAUSE OF THE INSULATION IN THE WIRES AND WE DON'T COVER DAMAGE FROM THE INSULATION... GRRRRRR... SO I CALLED HONDA AND WE'LL SEE IF THEY CAN DO SOMETHING FOR US AS LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMERS - I EVEN MENTIONED THAT WE'VE GOT A HONDA CRV... SIGH... HONDA HAS A DUTY TO MANUFACTURE AND SELL SAFE VEHICLES AND TO FIX OR PAY FOR SAFETY DEFECTS IN ITS VEHICLES," "INSTEAD, HONDA HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ALLEGED DEFECT AND FORCED ITS CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKETS. LIKE YOURS TRULY, ENGINE BLOWN AND NOW I OWN MONEY ON A CAR THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE. I WANT TO START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BUT WITHOUT A SUPPORTING INCIDENT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO THIS PLEASE RESPONDS TO THIS MESSAGE. *TR

ON THE DAY THAT THE FIRE OCCURRED, I DROVE THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 8-10 MILES ROUND TRIP BETWEEN10:30-10:45 A.M., AND THEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE FOR 3 HOURS. AFTER THAT, I DROVE MY CAR APPROX. 1 MILE, AND IT WAS PARKED OUTSIDE FOR A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR. THEN, ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS AFTER I BEGAN DRIVING MY CAR BACK HOME, MY SON NOTICED SMOKE. I DIDN'T SEE THE SMOKE AND THOUGHT MY WINDOW WAS HAZY, SO I CONTINUED DRIVING. ABOUT 1/2-1/4 MILE FROM MY HOME, I SAW A LITTLE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND MY ENGINE BEGAN SPUTTERING. IT WAS DURING THIS TIME, I NOTICED THAT DIFFERENT INDICATOR LIGHTS BEGAN DISPLAYING. HOWEVER, MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE SHOWED NORMAL LEVELS. BECAUSE I WAS SO CLOSE TO HOME, I DECIDED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE INTO MY DRIVEWAY, WHERE I PARKED AND EXITED THE CAR AND NOTICED ADDITIONAL SMOKE AND FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD. I EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE OFFICE AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY INVESTIGATED THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE, WHICH WAS DETERMINED TO BE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE CAUSED BY THE ALTERNATOR, AND THE TIMING BELT, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND PORTIONS OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO PREVENT THIS. MY INSURANCE PAID FOR THE DAMAGE. THANKFULLY, I WAS CLOSE TO HOME WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND COULD PUT OUT THE FIRE ON MY OWN, OTHERWISE, THE DANGER TO MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN AND THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. *TR
