What owners wrote

I had pulled out of a parking place and was waiting in the traffic lane to exit the area. There were two cars in front of us. The cars were stopped. I was approximately 20-25 feet behind the car in front of me. I took my foot off the brake in my car to let it idle forward. As I approached the yukon I reapplied the brake. The car accelerated to what sounded like full rpm's and I applied the brakes as hard as I could and nothing happened.

Takata recall my honda pilot only 83000 miles. Transmission problem and emmission problem both lights came on at the same time. I was driving to work when I felt the car not wanting to accelerate, I immediately turned into a lot and I am waiting here ever since because the car isn't moving forward.
