Acceleration - Hesitation - Honda Pilot

jaypet · 09-19-2007, 11:46 PM

I recently bought a 2007 Pilot demo with 5,000 miles. When I slow, e.g., to turn a corner, then press the gas pedal, there is a noticable hesitation before it begins to accelerate. At first when it happened, I thought for a split second it had stalled. I have taken it back to the dealer twice, but they say it runs "normal". The second time they said they installed a new software patch. It's still about the same. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Same thing here. I believe I have seen a few other posts on it too. I have '07 2wd. Definitely annoying. I've tried to compensate for it, but still noticed.

Yes, it's normal. It's the Pilot's drive-by-wire system.
