Auto start/stop occasionally cuts the engine when the brake is released, and at some times will not engage the transmission w/o a restart.
Dealer could not find this in the trouble codes, so no action was taken. Did not charge us.
Oil leak, bottom of oil pan is wet. Tech sprayed area around oil pan with leak detecting spray, told us to return in 500-1000 miles.

Over the course of 5 visits to the dealership, the service techs searched for the source of an oil leak. After re-sealing the oil pan and re-sealing the oil pump, the leak was found to be at the side main bolts. The bolts were removed, cleaned, and the threads were coated with Honda Bond before re-installing. 1K miles later and no leak has been detected.
Misfire CEL. Fuel injectors replaced under TSB/Extended warranty. Likely cause is carbon buildup due to Direct Injection engine design. Common issue on 3rd Gen Honda Pilots.
Check Engine light was on. Message said "Emissions Systems Problem". They thought it was a cat converter problem, but after diagnosis, turned out the injector block needed replacement because it was injecting too much fuel.

As noted from previous problem, the check emissions light came on, but this time, they had a software update to fix the false positive of the check engine light. No charge.
(Just wanted to note how awesome they were. I did not book an appointment. I was in the neighbourhood. Asked them about it, and said if i had 30min-1hr, they'd look at it. Left it with them, went and test drove an Odyssey, and when I got back, they were done with the software update. Thanks Maple Honda!)
