I just picked up a newly bought 2016 Honda Pilot with 115,000 km on it this morning. I drove away from the dealership and didn't drive more than 20 kilometers when lo and behold trouble lights started flaring up on the dash. AWD and Emissions System problem. The dealer has a 30-day warranty so I drove it back and they're going to work on it.
After I got home, I started googling and it looks like it's a common issue with 2016 and newer Pilots.
Do you have any recommendations on this sir?
Clarification: What are the scanned trouble codes?
good point. I don't know the codes. Let me clarify by saying that I didn't get trouble codes so much as warning messages and the fix engine light came on. I called up the dealership, turned the car around and drove right back where I came from.
The dealer just got back to me a few minutes ago and they said they're going to replace the fuel injectors.
an illuminated trouble light can indicate literally hundreds of different problems.
Next time, take your mechanic or at least bring a good scan tool to find out the codes (if any).
I had just bought the car and drove it off the lot when the problem occurred. Like I said before, I turned around and brought it right back to the dealership.
The car has a 30-day used car warranty on it and the repairs will be done tomorrow.
Hopefully they fix the issues, but you never know what shape the car is if you have not had a mechanic check it. Cars are so complex these days that even a pro needs a high level scan tool to find out the car health. One more thing: You said the dealer decided to replace the fuel injectors. Correct? I don't know how they decided to do that. Based on the errors you got, the car either has serious computer issues or the ABS system is faulty.
- The dashboard information system literally displays as "Problem with AWD" and "Problem with Emission System" in Hondas. I believe I mentioned that in my original post n'est pas? Here's a short video:

Oui, mais ce sont des "idiot lights". They signal to the driver that there's is SOME KIND of problem, but not what it is.
a mechanic plugs a scanner into the diagnostic port of the vehicle, and it will spit out a laundry list of SPECIFIC trouble conditions that the vehicle computer has detected and the SPECIFIC sensor, circuit, control modules etc. where it was found.
