When I was parking my Honda Pilot 2019, the car suddenly accelerated on its own without pushing the gas pedal and hit the wall of a building. This accident caused head, neck and back injury for myself. FYI, there was not any warning lamps or messages or other symptoms.

My 2019 honda randomly brakes while I'm driving almost causing someone to rear end me, and other times almost causing me to be in accidents. In addition, at 19k miles my transmission went out (started catching, making a grinding noise) while I was driving on the interstate and caused the vehicle to decelerate.

When driving on some rural roads where line is clearly present in road my car automatically applies brakes as crash avoidance when oncoming car is coming that is clearly in its own lane. This has happened multiple times and honda was notified and does not seem concerned about this safety issue but is aware that it happens.

Within one week of purchase, I returned to dealer - GPS unit sends me directions and distances far longer than any other GPS - dealer spent an entire ray uoloading/downloading/updating - still sends me much longer distance and time directions. I am on road for my work. This has me not be able to use the GPS that is the reason I "bought" a higher trim level - useless!

This happened to me twice. Seems to be when using cruise control for over 1.25 hrs. When you press the cancel button on the steering wheel to cancel the set cruise control, the cars "check engine" light starts flashing.

While driving, the vehicle occasionally experiences a momentary loss of power, reacting as if the engine turned off. Power is restored after a few seconds, no longer than 10. The loss of power places everyone in the vehicle in danger, as well as surrounding vehicles.

My 2019 Honda Pilot is repeatedly having problems, when the vehicle is started and running, first thing in the morning. There is hard jerking when the vehicle is shifting on low speed (ex: from first to second to third gear). This happens repeatedly in the morning start, then doesn't occur again on that day.

3 episodes of unexpected and sudden braking for no reason. Twice on Sept 13 when ACC was in use and set at 70 MPH the car hard-braked and dropped to 40-42mph rapidly, then it stopped braking and I was able to use the accelerator again- the braking lasted perhaps 10-15 seconds. The third episode was on Oct.
