2016 Honda Pilot SUV FWD

We are new with this vehicle and a couple times now we couldn’t open the drivers door to get out. When you put the car in gear it auto locks which it should. But however after parking and shutting the car off the drivers door wouldn’t unlock. My wife even got out went are to try and open it and it wouldn’t open but after several try’s and panicking it finally opened. Now this has happened a couple times already. I keep checking for a recall on this cause I pray there is never an emergency/accident and I can’t exit the car and being elderly I can’t climb over the console to get to another door. Cause it’s only happens to the drivers door only. I did just get a recall in the mail today for the hood which I will take care of.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V932000 (Structure, Latches/Locks/Linkages). The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer and had recall repair completed. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the hood was still vibrating and seemed as if it would open inadvertently. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

There is loud clicking from the driver's power seat while attempting to adjust the height of the seat. The height of the seat cannot be adjusted, which inhibits the driver's ability to see things in front of and around the vehicle. The vehicle was inspected by a Honda dealership. The dealership said that the entire seat must be replaced at a cost of $2600.

The engine to my vehicle has just over 108,000 miles and the rod bearings have shown signs of failure according to the dealership my car was taken to for diagnostic tests. The dealership has advised the engine had oil starvation. The car is regularly serviced at the dealership I originally purchased from. My safety and the safety of my family was at risk because the engine rods could have blown through the block and possibly explode into the cabin of the vehicle if we continued driving. The vehicle did not indicate any signs of oil starvation through the onboard diagnostic. The vehicle is still at the dealership pending further inspection at the original dealership that I purchased from. There was no indicator on the cluster to indicate otherwise for low oil.

We just bought a 2016 Pilot that has the auto stop/start idle feature a week ago. It has already stalled twice- once in a drive thru and once at a light. It was really scary both times - the engine shuts completely off and I had to put it in park & restart the engine. It took a few tries to restart it. I have 2 little girls and this seems really unsafe. I looked it up and found several other reports of this happening, but was surprised to find no official recall yet.

My 2016 honda pilot has been experiencing a problem with the auto idle stop (AIS) feature. Randomly when the AIS engages the vehicle will shut off completely and switch to neutral. It displays a message to put in park and apply brake and press start. This does not always work and can take several attempts to restart the vehicle. This happens when in the middle of the road in traffic making it very hazardous. This has occurred more than 20 times over the past 4 years. I have had the battery replaced 3 times, yet the problem continues.

Throughout last trip I noticed the transmission would make jerking shifts. While on the interstate during a pass travelling at 73 Mph the transmission down shifted and made a loud banging sound, engine lost power but was revving high, I could not accelerate to get away from surrounding traffic. A transmission error come up as I maneuvered the vehicle out of the road to avoid being hit by other vehicles. The AWD error came one and later an emissions error. Once the car was out of the road safely I was able to engage the e-brake then put it into neutral then park. AWD and emissions error remained on. After a minute turn car off then on, emissions error remained on and the car could operate. This scared the family as we could have been rare ended in traffic. Honda dealership in my town could not diagnose the issue. This is the second time this has happened.

No prior indications of a pending issue. Stopped at an intersection for a Red Light, Auto Start/Stop feature turned the engine off as designed. When took foot off of the brake pedal and depressed gas pedal to start moving for the green light, which should have re-engaged the Auto Start feature and started the engine, multiple dash warning and caution lights turned on and the car itself never turned on. Result was a stuck car. Required multiple attempts to successfully restart the engine over several minutes, which included a couple of traffic light sequences (Red, Green, Red) around the stuck car. The brake pedal seemed extremely stiff with very little movement during these start attempts. Asked 2 Honda dealerships, they said they never heard about it and could not replicate.

There is no way for the driver of the car to put the transmission into neutral if needed with an electrical/battery failure. According to Honda, there is a special mechanical device that tow truck drivers would have that physically attaches to the engine to shift the car into neutral. In addition, the honda mechanic that I talked to today said even if the average driver had one of these devices, they would not recommend they use it due to likelihood of causing damage to the engine or transmission. This is fine if the car is already in park, since it would most likely be located in a parking lot, residence, etc. The two times that would be a safety issue and could very easily cause an accident would be if the car was in drive, stopped at a traffic light with the engine off due to the Auto Start/Stop feature, and suffered a battery failure, preventing the engine from starting. Now the car would not be able to start, but more importantly couldn't even be pushed off to the side of the road and clear the intersection, since there is no way to move it into neutral. Another example could be with an alternator failure while driving, where the battery then surges and drains itself, with the engine and car now shut down. If you are unable to move the car to the side of the road as this is happening, maybe stuck in traffic or stopped at a traffic light, the car is now unmovable until a tow truck driver arrives and installs this mechanical neutral unlock device. There should be a way with an electrical problem to be able to place the car into neutral and move it. Otherwise, this turns a routine auto problem (that has had an acceptable solution) into a true safety issue, both for occupants and other vehicles and their operators.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while driving approximately 15-60 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed but hesitated to respond, and the vehicle started jerking. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to continue to drive the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure had recurred while driving. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

When I started my car, my rear window imploded/shattered. There was no evidence of tampering, no sudden change in temperature, no previous cracks in that window.

Keyless Start System Problem. Error message comes on and will not go away. Tried replacing the Ignition start button.

The truck has been very sluggish and it surges especially when accelerating. It doesn't seems to have power to come up to the designated speed limit. It started happening when it came up to the 48,000 miles on the odometer.

I stopped at a red light. The idle stop engaged (ie: the engine turned off but the radio was still on). When the light turned green, I removed my foot from the break and the entire car turned off. I tried pressing the start button but the car didn't turn back on. I turned on my hazard lights as I prepared to call emergency roadside assistance while also continuing to press the start button. It took probably a minute or more for the car to finally turn back on.

For the last couple of months, the transmission has had gears slipping out of gear and takes a few seconds to find the gear to accelerate up to speed. I've taken it to the dealer twice to address the issue but it's still causing an issue.

On November 27, 2021 at approximately 12 noon, while driving on I95 south in North Carolina. We came to a slow crawl then a stop. The vehicle stalled and wouldn't turn on. After following vehicle instructions on the dash to depress brake and turn vehicle on for approximately three minutes the vehicle finally started up. This is a very dangerous situation for anyone I had my family with me. While looking this up I realized that it is more common then I thought. This should not be occurring. No dealer nor Honda has defined the issue let alone pinpointing it. We need answers and a solution before someone dies. Please help.

The car on prior occasions would not start and it would show emission alert as well as other alerts, have the car for servicing and they started checking and replacing everything. Same problem happened 2 weeks ago but resolved on its own. Today while driving, all the emergency lights came on including emissions malfunction, as well as other malfunction and then accelerator was not working, D was flashing and started making clicking sounds in transmission. Luckily we were close to a fire station house and stopped there, where the car was not going into park, was not changing any gears to reverse or neutral and when turned on, all emergency lights were flashing and could not even get it into neutral to push it away as it seemed to be transmission wheel jammed. Also a burning smell came from the engine when we attempted to restart and put in gear and the transmission clutch made horrible sounds and the car was revving up on its own. If we were on a major Highway this situation could have been a disaster with the family in the car , as the car was stalling on the road and could have resulted in a crash, loss of Life or injury to others. The novel is an elite 2016 pilot and has given my wife recurrent similar issues but we’re lucky it happened in a parking lot. The dealership always states the problem is assessed and fixed but at year 5 and only 75000 miles this is a disappointing situation. We bring this to the notice of NHTSA as this could be a life threatening issues for family owner drivers

When on the road and you stop at traffic light with auto stop and go the car shuts off completely. It won’t start afterwards and car needs to be placed in park and turned back on. Though this isn’t an immediate solution. The car has been brought in multiple times into dealer. Changed battery couple times and problem persists regardless of what they do and they continue to say they don’t see anything. Though it still continues and is completely dangerous.

Keyless start system problem: the light come and Honda does no know how to address this concern.

Vehicle unexpectedly and unpredictably shuts down when stopped for a red light, at stop sign, or for an extended break period. Vehicle does not immediately restart after shutting off. Vehicle is available for inspection; however, given the safety concerns for our family and unanswered questions from Honda with no resolution in sight, we plan to buy a new vehicle. Vehicle has been disabled when it shuts down in the middle of intersections with cars swerving to avoid. It puts vehicle occupants and other drivers at risk of an accident. Dealer cannot reproduce. After the 1st instance, dealer claimed they found info that was sent to Honda corporate. Vehicle has been inspected by dealership with Honda corporate involvement 3 times. After the 1st time, Honda corporate/dealership replaced battery and state of charge sensor at no cost even though vehicle was not under warranty. After 2nd time, Honda said valves may need adjusting but refused to cover expensive ($1000) work and indicated they were not sure it would even resolve issue. If issue continued, they stated they would not refund money. They now refuse any resolutions without reproducing the car shutting down. There are no warnings, messages, or notifications that vehicle will shut down until it does. A variety of errors display after the vehicle shuts down and vehicle shifts on its own into neutral.

Hello, I have 2016 Honda Pilot Touring. The car was stalled many times since last 3 years where the car stalled out at a red light while using the auto stop-start. It would happen frequently now when I took my foot off the brake and nothing would happen when I put my foot on the gas. Instead of the engine starting up again, the car would stall completely and I would have to put the car in park, press the brake pedal and push the start button to get it on again. I took the car into the dealer David McDavid Frisco and they did not do anything saying they do not see any issue and they said they cannot reproduce the issue. Last night it happened again at a red light with the car stalled when i about to start i was about to get hit by the speeding car behind e and the driver was realized my Car was stopped and he just changed the lane to avoid hitting me. This incident really scared me since i was with my whole Family in the car. Please take this as a serious concern related to human life. Also i noticed from the internet many Honda Pilot owners are having same issue and Honda did not take any action on this.

I have 2 problems. First my error is Keyless Start System Problem, that also will not auto lock the car when I walk away with the keys. Second is every once in awhile they audio system will completely reset itself.

Auto engine idle malfunction: engine would not restart when brake pedal released. Dash instructed to shift into park. All electrical stayed on, but engine would not restart for several minutes. With electronic shifting, wasn't even able to get into neutral to get out of the way of traffic. At busy intersections, being stranded could be very dangerous or even fatal.

When stopped at a light, the idle auto engine off feature turned off the engine, then when I remove my foot from the pedal, the engine fails to start again. After several attempts to start the engine it finally will start, but this has left me stalled at intersections on several occasions for up to 2 minutes. Honda has stated that this is a known issue with no known fix which is distressing and unacceptable.

Keyless Start System Problem. Only 52000 miles on car

Hi. Soon after I bought the car the steering wheel is making a loud cleacking noise. I took it to the Schaumburg Honda dealer and they replaced the cable reel under the airbag 4 times. They replaced the wrong part while the car was under the manufacturer warranty. Now the car has no warranty and they said honda knows about the faulty airbag and they do not want to replace it. When you turn the steering wheel to the right or to the left is making a loud cleacking noise. I have all the paperwork. Please help me so no one will get injured or killed on the road. Thank you.

When stopped at a red light the idle-stop initiates and engine shuts down. Upon release of the brake peddle the engine does not start leaving you stranded at a green light or even worse in the middle of the intersection waiting to make a left turn. I have to turn off the car completely and then try to restart it. It never happens when I disable the idle stop. I have read this same problem with many other people on various forums. This must be addressed ASAP before someone gets hurt or killed. This happens at least twice a week.

The vehicle has a keyless remote start problem that won’t go away. The keys have new batteries. Taking it to the dealer but when researching the issue there are several people experiencing this same problem with no way to fix the issue. This should be a recall If Pilots are getting this error message.

My 2016 Honda Pilot Touring randomly completely shuts off at traffic lights rather than restart in the automatic shut off. It displays "Shift to Park" on the dash. This has been occurring for the past 2 1/2 years and has been reported to both Honda and the dealerships with no resolution. Despite my numerous reports to both Honda and dealership, only two times have they documented as requested. The past 8 months it has been occurring more frequently and has become increasingly difficult to restart. The past two times, I have been in a location with high speed limits so traffic approaching from the rear was coming at high speeds. The first of these recent incidents, it took 6 attempts to restart the vehicle and the second time I lost count. These situations were terrifying to the point I am no longer wanting to keep this vehicle. I can't help but consider if I have children in the back and am rear ended. The dealer has repeatedly told me there are no codes, so they can't identify the source of the issue. Interestingly, I purchased this vehicle when it was 18 months old and the switch for the auto shutoff was missing. The dealership replaced it, but now I am wondering if the previous owner was experiencing this same problem and had it removed.

At a stop when the idle stop shuts the engine off, the car will not restart automatically like it's supposed to and I'm stuck in the intersection until I can get the car to restart. This is obviously very dangerous. Others with Honda Pilots are having the same issue. This needs to be addressed. This has happened many times over the past 4 months.

I have a 2016 Honda Pilot Elite and have been experiencing some issues with the Auto Engine Idle Shut Off for the past few years. Whenever the car is stopped either at a light or in a traffic on road, highway exit ramps, the auto engine idle feature shuts of the car upon pressing the breaks fully. However once the break is released the car get stalled by automatically switching the car to Neutral with message on the screen asking to put the car in Park mode. A number of warning messages show up on the center console as well. Things like, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation, Brake System warnings start displaying. Once car is put in the park mode, it says press break and start button to start the car but car will NOT start for about 30 seconds to 1 minutes. This stalling creates extremely dangerous situation when you are on busy road with a risk of getting hit from behind. I have taken several videos of this incidence happening and shown it to dealership who has taken a stand as they can't fix the issue as they are unable to replicate. I have taken car multiple times to dealership for this issue and also reported the issue to Honda as well however I have been told that they cannot replicate the issue and thus unable to fix it. Unless the car is used like a daily driver I am afraid they will never be able to reproduce the issue and this creates a big safety hazard for me and my family. Stalling car in middle of road has left us in panic situation multiple times and it also possesses inherent risk to others driving on the road especially during night time . After googling about this issue I have noticed many other people having the same issue. Honda needs to make recall on these cars and MUST get this rectified immediately. Please note my car still has extended warranty and Honda has not been able to identify and fix the issue. I request you to look into this and many others who possibly have reported same issue.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while stopped at a red light and after releasing the brake pedal the fuel-saving feature had malfunctioned and the engine did not immediately restart. During the incident, the message "put vehicle to park mode" had displayed. The contact indicated that the failure was very intermittent and when the vehicle was taken to the local dealer the failure could not be duplicated therefore no problem was found and no service was performed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000.

The first issue is when the car is stopped and the auto engine idle is on, when I lift the brake to press the accelerator, the car shuts off the engine completely, puts itself in Neutral or Park, and requires me to put the car in Park (if not there already) and restart (press brake and ignition button). So when I’m at a red light that turns green, when I attempt to go by lifting the brake my engine quits. It occurs when I take my foot off the brake after having been at a stop with the auto-engine idle on. Engine shuts off, the car puts itself in either Neutral or Park, and I have to restart after 30 seconds to a minute (including a prayer to not be rear-ended in the meantime). Sometimes, I can get the engine to start up again within 30 seconds. Sometimes, it's been more than a minute. A number of warning messages show up on the center console as well. Things like, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation, Brake System warnings start displaying. I’ve had the dealer look at the car and they can’t find anything wrong with it. This has been happening for months and the dealer ended up putting a new fuel injector on to see if that would fix it but it hasn’t. I am very concerned for myself, my kids and my family who ride in this car. I’ve been in some scary situations at red lights where I couldn’t go. I pray this doesn’t happen on railroad tracks!!!

The car, when at idle, and the "idle start/stop" feature is active, does not restart. The car stalls, loses all power, including hazard lights. This happens at busy intersections, and the car is able to be started again after several minutes. The las time it occurred, the power was not restored until the hood was popped (while on a major highway in the left lane) and battery power cable checked. The power suddenly was restored and the car was able to be restarted. After which, error appeared on screen for power failure. We purchased this car used in April 2021, and this issue has occurred consistently (at least weekly) since the beginning of May 2021. The last incident occurred on October 1st. The car has been at the dealer since October 5th, and they have been unable to diagnose or recreate the issue.

Having issues with the auto idle function. Car is stalling out when car Is stopped for more than two to three seconds. Doesn't matter if the auto idle function is engaged or turned off. This has become very dangerous as I have been almost hit twice. The car losses power, no steering or anything else. Car has to be shut off and on numerous times to restart. I am seeing post that I am not the only one with this issue. Seems to be an ongoing problem with Honda pilot of multiple years and models. No one seems to have a fix for this. I no longer am driving this vehicle as it is not safe.

At 40,000 miles the vehicle was receiving the following WARNING message when started:Keyless System Start Problem. For 3 years it has consistently gone on and off for days. Honda states it’s a key fob battery change need - when this does NOT fix the problem. I am now being repeatedly referred back to their service dept. to pay for diagnostic when they know that this is a manufacturer issue.

Several times, while driving on the freeway, I've taken my foot off the accelerator to naturally slow (rather than brake) for traffic in front of me. When I put my foot back onto the accelerator to speed back up, the car actually decelerates before catching with a "clink" noise and then finally accelerates. This has only happened to me while driving at higher speeds (65 mph) on the freeway and is quite a safety issue as those behind me wouldn't necessarily know my car was suddenly decelerating. It is extremely scary when this occurs and has me scared to drive in any middle lanes, in the event I need to get over to an emergency lane suddenly. My car has been to the dealership three times now and they cannot find the root of the problem.

We've experience two instances where at a stop light, while under braking and the auto engine has idled, the car shuts off and after a long delay appears to restart its ECU and displays a prompt on the display to start the car again. This was of particular concern as we were at a stoplight on a rather busy crossing of a local freeway with heavy truck traffic for local manufacturers. There was no warning prior to the car shutting itself off. After it shut off, it triggered nearly every Honda warning symbol on the dash: LCAS, ABS, etc. all reporting problems.

Auto engine Idle shut/off malfunctioning. At red light...when turned green, took foot off brake to accelerate...car completely shut off. Dashboard lights came on and instructed to shift vehicle to park and restart. Vehicle in rear view coming up fast and thought I was going to be rear-ended and quickly found hazard lights and luckily driver was paying attention and shifted to other lane. Never happened when brand new now happening few times a week. Of course am making an appt with Honda but if they can't replicate the problem in the shop they can't/won't fix. This is a safety issue and people are going to get rear ended! Honda needs to rectify this situation as I have seen many threads with others stating the same problem.

My Honda Pilot2016 has intermittent “keyless start system problem”. The error comes and goes, it once caused me not able to start the engine. From online forums, this looks like to a common issue of Honda Pilot 2016. I am very concerned with my safety when I drive this car.

My wife was driving the kids to school, stopped at a busy intersection. The engine idle-stop feature stopped the engine, and when my wife hit the gas, the car wouldn't restart. It required several attempts. This happens sporadically with the car, and it's happened on numerous occasions. Others have reported the same problem on Honda Pilot forums (https://www.piloteers.org/threads/2016-wont-start-after-idle-stop.158131/). The battery was replaced a couple of years ago after the first several times this happened, but both the battery and alternator test healthy. There is clearly a design flaw with this stop/start feature. My wife was left stranded for a few minutes at a busy intersection, with fast-moving cars, with my kids in the car.

This car has an auto idle feature that, when the brake is pushed down at a stop, the car engine stops but then restarts either when the brake is disengaged or after a certain period of time. At that point, the car engine restarts. Since owning this car, I have reported to the dealer the issue with the auto idle which is a clicking sound and the radio cutting out when the car restarts. That issue has accelerated from clicking to the engine stalling to the car completely shutting down and having difficulty restarting. I have had this occur in traffic in an intersection twice and it was quite frightening and dangerous to say the least. Honda has not been able to repair this issue and the only solution they can offer is for me to manually disable the feature upon starting the car - this is not a safe solution. Please force Honda to solve this issue. I am now worried that my safety is at issue when the car stalls in traffic.

Automatic idle engine was enable and once I took my foot off the brake, the car stalled. I was unable to start the car for a minute or two and had to turn off the entire car and then restart. This has happened multiple times before this occasion.

When starting the vehicle, the vehicle doesn't immediately start when pressing the start button. When the vehicle starts, a message appears on the dash saying keyless start system problem. No information has been received from Honda about this problem, but a Honda recall service bulletin related to 2016-2017 Honda Pilots was found online. The recall bulletin is dated December 9, 2020. The vehicle has not been inspected at this time. The indicator message first appeared on the dash five days ago and it appeared again today.

I have reported this problem before, all the warning lights on dashboard light up and car loses power. The first time I was driving on a highway at 70 mph and the car completely shut off, the second time, my wife was driving, with my daughter, and the car shut off while she was going 40 mph. She almost cause a chain reaction accident because she panicked when the car would not respond to her acceleration. In both instances, all the warning lights on the dashboard light up and the car goes into limp mode. The first incident, Honda updated the transmission software, after about 8-months later, Honda service found a DTC P0369 code and now want $2500 dollars for repairs. They want to replace the CMP sensor, Cam Shaft, Cam Shaft Thrust Cover, Valve Cover Gasket and Camshaft Seal! Why would a 2016 need a new Camshaft? There has to be a design issue with the engine, I would call this a premature failure of a critical part. Since this causes the engine to shut down, at any given time, the car cannot be driven until the camshaft is replaced. All I want is to have Honda make things right, a car with 76,000 miles should never have engine surgery like this, period! I render the Honda Pilot from 2016 to 2021 unsafe to drive, the engine has not changed, I wonder if they fixed the camshaft problem on later models? If so, they know there is a design issue.

Even with "auto start" off, the engine will and has died multiple times at freeway speed, causing a huge safety issue as the vehicle suddenly decelerates with no power; this is an often reported problem (google it) that ranges from dying from a stop to dying while in motion. This oft reported problem needs to be addressed by Honda, but they say they're unaware of this issue. They are lying. Imagine driving a busy metro freeway when all of a sudden you lose power and have to fight for control of your steering and brakes.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while driving 20-30 MPH, the vehicle would shudder. The dealer was made aware of the failure and scheduled an upcoming appointment for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000. The VIN was unavailable.

The auto engine idle feature malfunctions, car stalls out at times when taking off from a stopped position, also this stalling will occur while driving at highway speeds causing the car to de-accelerate and having to pull over and restart car. We have had several close accidents because of this , nearly hit by other cars at intersections. We have had car in shop 3 times and they cannot find problem. The ECM was changed out last year due to entire dashboard warning system failure but this didn’t fix the idle start stop problems. Honda dealers stating nothing can be done unless we pay to start changing out various systems until problem found. Will cost thousands. Problem start at around 30 k miles, and now has 60k miles and no longer under warranty.

The idle engine shutoff continues to die when stopped. Then it takes 30 to 60 to restart.

Keyless start system problem on the screen when starting the car

While at a stop light my idol stop function turned the car off. When the light turned green I lightly took my foot off the brake and the car tried to turn back on (the power clicked) but instead it shut off the car fully. Only the car radio was still working as if it was in accessory mode. Car display said to turn the car on I needed to press the brake and press the ignition button. My foot was still on the brake. I pressed the ignition button but nothing happened. Pressed it again and nothing happened. Lifted my foot off and on the brake and tried again. Nothing. Display still read press brake and ignition. Lifted my foot off the brake and on again and then pressed the ignition, it FINALLY restarted the car. Extremely dangerous situation as this took nearly a minute for the car to restart, the light had just cycled again. Dealership could not replicate the situation. They updated the cars software and it did not fix the problem. They said the battery was still good but I had read on the piloteers.org website that changing the battery seemed to solve the problem. I had them change the battery anyway and it fixed the issue, now nearly 2 years later the problem is reoccurring again.

Keyless start system problem appeared at about 40K miles. Now auto lock feature doesn’t work. At 45k miles now it’s appeared again and doesn’t go away. Many other owners of same car report similar issue apparently

Steering wheel shaking violently when braking especially at highway (down hill) speed.

The car was traveling on a highway and stopped responding while quickly decelerating all the while rolling through all of the warning sign sign screens. Luckily was in I side lane and able to hop curb to pull off to shoulder. Every time we take to dealer they claim it’s a known problem and “reboot” system. Then seems to work ok for a while. This is the fifth or sixth time taking back to dealer. This time almost caused an accident. I’m starting to think the vehicle is not fit to be on the road.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, the vehicle would intermittently shut-off upon depression of the accelerator. There were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle soon after failure and resume normal driving. The contact had called two dealers and was informed that they had never heard of such a failure. The contact was informed by each dealer that he would be charged a diagnostic fee to service the vehicle. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000.

From a stopped position, when foot released from brake, car completely shuts down. Happens randomly. Six times over last 2 months. Complaint was called in today 8/16/2021.

THE IDLE STOP FEATURE ENGAGED BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART WHEN FOOT TAKEN OFF BRAKE AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. I HAD TO CHANGE TRANSMISSION TO PARK, TURN OFF ENGINE, PUSH START BUTTON TO RESTART ENGINE. IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES PUSHING START BUTTON BEFORE ENGINE STARTED. DELAY CAUSED TRAFFIC CONGESTION AT THE LIGHT. THIS SAME SCENARIO HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 OTHER TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 MONTHS.

The Keyless Start Power Assistance Error Light keeps displaying after my auto lock feature failed. There is a forum of other 2016 Pilots of many owners experiencing the same thing. Today I found myself unable to start my car with every message failure displaying. When help arrived they found a bad battery (unsure if related or not). After only a few hours the same error message appears again.

In the past 4 months, each time my Honda Pilot is stopped at a light or in slow traffic, the idle stop will engage and shut off the engine. In order for the engine to turn back on, we have to put our foot on the brake, place car in park, and push the start button to get it to start again. Each time we have taken it to the dealer or a car repair shop, they test the battery and it is fine. While we have not had an accident yet, we have come close due to cars behind us not knowing our vehicle is having an issue. The most recent time occurred in a toll booth line leaving NYC with a line of traffic behind us. Another issue we have experienced is with our fuel injector. Our Pilot was manufactured when there were known failures with fuel injectors. The fuel injector malfunctioned while driving with our three kids down a hill. The car lost power and we had to coast down a hill. Thankfully, an exit was nearby and we were able to come to a stop. Vehicle was serviced at a local dealer. Although there were know issues with fuel injectors, we still had to pay for the replacement and the vehicle's manufacturers warranty was still valid.

When I stop and the car has the "auto-engine shut off" turned on, when I press the button to disable the "auto-engine shut off"; the pilot completely turns off and all warning lights are thrown up on the display. I then attempt to turn on the pilot by pressing the start button and it takes a couple of attempts to restart the pilot. This has happened at stop lights, on the highway in stop and go traffic and other places as well. This has been happening for over a year. Last time Honda told us to replace the battery, even though it wasn't bad, and they weren't sure, and it still isn't fixed.

When the vehicle was at a stop signal, the engine went into idle stop but would not restart. This happened three times so far. Once 2 years ago and twice in the past 3 days. The vehicle eventually restarted after we turned it off then on again. In all cases we were at a large intersection, but this could have happened on a highway ramp and could have been dangerous.

1| The problem is with the transmission. When we are driving, the Pilot makes jerky movements and the odometer bounces up and down during this time. This happens most of the time... it is rare when the transmission feels smooth. Also, sometimes when in reverse the Pilot jerks and makes it hard to control when backing up into a parking spot. This happens from time to time, but not every time. There is a known issue about the Honda Pilot 2016 having major transmission issues where it makes the vehicle jerky when accelerating. Yes, we can provide the vehicle for inspection. We only had the Pilot for a year and it just reached 90K. https://www.motorbiscuit.com/the-2016-honda-pilot-had-an-alarming-number-of-transmission-problems/ 2| With the jerky movements, I find it unsafe when merging onto the interstate with moving traffic. It is a struggle to get up to speed when it feels like the Pilot is losing power. Also, once I backing up into the parking spot, the Pilot was making jerking movements and I could have damaged the cars that were parked behind me if I didn't throw the Pilot into neutral. Overall, it is a safety concern for my family of six. 3| The Honda dealerships seem to be aware of the issue but will not do anything about it. They recommend a transmission flush and computer repair/upgrade but are not willing to guarantee it will fix the issue. Others online have reported that the flush and computer repair did not fix the problem. We called Honda of America directly about the problem and were not willing to help us out. They offered no solutions. 4| No, we reached out to Honda of America and they are not willing to help us. We are not sure who to reach out to about the issue. Hopefully, NHTSA can finally help us. 5| Not sure if this issue was related to the transmission problem but the emissions light came on a month after purchasing the Pilot. Honda is known for having oil dilution problems and it could have lead to the issue.

Occasionally, the engine does not automatically re-start after the idle engages. This has happened multiple times over the last couple of years. The result is a stalled vehicle, sometimes at busy intersections. This is confusing, annoying, and potentially dangerous --- thankfully so far the drivers behind me have reacted quickly to a stalled vehicle in front of them. The vehicle also seems to hesitate when attempting to start manually. The situation can become quite frantic. I changed the on-off push button which was having some other problems, but the problem with the engine not re-starting after idle persists. I have also changed the battery and regularly check my current battery, but it just happened again yesterday and I almost got hit! What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Engine automatic re-start after idle. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Stalled vehicle in traffic. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No.

Occasionally, when the vehicle is stopped at a stop sign, or stoplight, the idle stop will engage and shut off the engine. When releasing brake pedal, engine will not restart. Vehicle must be placed in park, brake pedal depressed very hard and then attempt to restart. Vehicle will restart after one or more tries. When the vehicle will not re-start, the symptoms are that or a dead battery. Warning lights, engine will not crank. But, then it restarts just fine. The issue does not happen if Idle stop feature is disabled. Dealership has not been able to repeat problem, has tested primary electrical components and cannot fix it. Dealership has looked at the problem 3 times. This is becoming a safety issue, and it is easily found in online forums with other owners of the same years, make, model having the same issue. I believe this to be an issue with the control logic in the Idle stop loop.

Issue: Auto Stop / Start feature on 2016 Honda Pilot Touring does not re-engage / start the car after being idle from a stop. This is a repeated issue that has been occurring intermittently since I bought the car brand new. I have taken it to the dealer multiple times and they state they can't replicate so can't fix. However, multiple forums have stated others are having similar issues. This originally was happening about once a month. Its now at least once per week. I have blocked traffic and almost been hit multiple times as my car won't start again at stop signs / lights. Usually after 30 seconds to 2 minutes, I can put it in park and wait a bit and it will eventually start. The last two times it would not restart until it was jumped after waiting for roadside service. I have taken it for battery and alternator evaluation and both are fine.

Keyless Start System error in the 2016 causes a risk of being stranded without the ability to start vehicle. There is no option on the car to use a manual key for starting. You can get the door open with a manual key, but not operate the car engine. There is nothing wrong with the engine. It’s a safety issue.

O2 sensor in regards to fuel injector recall. Fuel Injector failure with 55,000 miles on injectors. All injectors replaced by dealer under recall. Now with, 57,000 miles, so 2,000 additional miles since original recall, now the O2 sensor fails. Obviously, O2 sensor failed due to original fuel injector failure putting too much fuel into the emissions system, which caused the O2 sensor to fail. The O2 sensor not part of recall and not covered under any extended warranty. But the extended warranty added onto catalytic converter. Entire emissions system has extended warranty except O2 sensors. O2 sensors are just as much a part of the emissions system as fuel injectors and catalytic converters. O2 sensors should be covered under this entire recall.

Auto Idle shut off stalls the car. Once the car is stopped...the engine will shut off. When I take my foot off the brake...the engine stalls, goes into park..several lights come up on the dash. This is very concerning....especially when it is difficult to start the car back up again.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 mph, the transmission failed to shift up to a higher gear. The contact mentioned that the RPMs were shifting faster than the speed. The local dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

While waiting for the green light and pressing the brake engine suddenly stopped. Thinking that engine stop and go mode kicking in but despite releasing the brake it won't restart. Tried to restart vehicle but only on the 3rd attemp that engine restarted. This is the second time it happened despite the repair last month at dealership which according to them they change the start switch botton that might caused the problem. I believe the stop and go feature of the car causing this problem. Releasing the brake from full stop should render the engine to restart but for any reason this is malfunctioning.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The auto engine idle fails to restart / shuts own the vehicle completely in busy intersections or stop and go traffic. A common symptom that is character I ed as the root cause is a weak battery, even when the battery is less than 2 years old. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Yes, vehicle has stalled several times on the busiest highway in Hawaii during rush hour traffic. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The problem was recreated by me during a road east several times with the service manager from the local Honda dealer in the vehicle. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? All lights come on instantaneously before the vehicle completely does. The vehicle must be placed in park and takes as long as 30 seconds to restart. Again, in the middle of the highway H1 on Oahu.

The components that have failed are the fuel injectors and catalytic converter. This is according to the Honda dealerships diagnostics. Whenever I press the gas the car hesitates, shudders, shakes, and wont accelerate. This has been an ongoing issue for the past 4 years when the car was 1 year old. It has gradually become worse.My children's safety as well as my safety are put at risk every time I drive. But one example was when I was entering the highway, I tried to speed up and couldn't and almost crashed with another car because my car wasn't functioning correctly and I wasnt able to merge correctly. The dealership has confirmed the issue but wont take responsibility on fixing it. They want me to pay out of pocket. No it has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, etc. At first there were no warning lamps, but there was a slight hesitation. Eventually, when the car started getting worse, the emissions light as well as check engine light came on. Took it it to the dealership and they got Catalytic converter P0430 error code. However, the dealership kept saying it was fuel injectors issue since it was no longer under warranty and they wanted me to pay for it. Fuel injector warranty is covered until 36k miles and I was at 60k miles.I did replace the fuel injectors with a different mechanic and that didn't fix the problem. Still drove the same. Now that I am over 100k miles on my vehicle, they are saying it's the catalytic converter because that warranty ran out at 80k miles and I would have to pay for it. I am not the only 2016 Honda Pilot owner having these issues and Honda is aware of it but wont take responsibility for it. I cannot afford to get a new car. This year model came out faulty and Honda has made bulletins regarding the issue, but wont cover the cost to fix the cars. They should be held responsible.

The Auto Idle Engine malfunctioned and would not allow the car to start again at an intersection. Previously, It has been stalling out and turns the electrical of the car off (radio) when engaging but this time the car would not start at all. After approximately 90 seconds I was able to turn the car back on.

Remote key start error

When I was stopped at a stop light, the auto idle malfunctioned. The car totally shut off and I was unable to get it restarted despite the flashing lights telling me to put it in park and restart it. It wouldn't start. After sitting for awhile in traffic waiting for the tow truck. I opened the door and closed it and then it restarted. I moved it over to a parking lot where it happened once again for the tow truck driver.

The vehicle is starting itself in accessory mode. It is completely off, no one around, no one touching the key fobs, and it will just try to start itself. Because no one is inside of the car pressing the brake, it just defaults to accessory mode. The vehicle is just turning itself on by itself. When the vehicle is locked, this triggers the alarm.

Got a “Keyless Start System Problem” message on the display board. Changed the batteries in the key fobs and the message won’t clear.

At a stop light the vehicle will intermittently, during the idle stop sequence, not restart. I have had it to the dealer for this problem where the outcome was NTF. I had the battery replaced and the vehicle still does this on occasion. In order to restart it must be placed in park, powered down, powered back up and then you can restart. This process on average takes 15 to 20 seconds. In a busy intersection this is very stressful as cars behind you start to honk and yell as you try and keep your cool to go through the restart process.

The auto engine idle feature when enabled will not start back up properly and stall at times. I’ve taken this car to my Honda dealer to repair and they do not see an issue.

Emission problem system keeps lighting up, going to service with Honda 3x times but engine light keeps popping up, replaced knock sensor failure at first, then still pop up, they figured out now it’s 2 bank failure, need to replace engine harness and knock sensors sub harness, p0328, p0333. It will cause acceleration problem

I get a keyless start system error that hasn’t been fixed with changing out the battery on the remote. From reading about this, it is a major issue with the Honda Pilots

"remote start system Problem" is displayed and starting and shutoff of vehicle

The 2016 Honda Pilot Elite has an auto idle stop (AIS). Three times in the last six months my Pilot has stalled when at a stop and not automatically restarted when the foot was taken off the brake. It then took 5-6 tries to have the car restart. Twice it happened at stop signs with traffic behind me and once in rush hour traffic in Dallas when stopped for traffic backup. Mine does not seem to be an isolated problem since I have read numerous accounts of similar problems online. Dealer said did not have a fix for problem.

My vehicle shut down while driving with error messages on screen: emissions transmission, vehicle stability assist, hill start assist, trailer stability, assist, power steering, road departure,collision mitigation, blind spot, transmission, battery light, oil light. Coasted into safe place and had towed. Could not turn car back on other than seeing the above warnings.

Won't start after idle stop, and i have reported to Honda Dealer Elcrrito service center they updated systems last three months back again its same issue and have now had this problem 4 times in the past 4-5 months while we stopped at a light, the idle stop will engage and shut off the engine, but then it won't start without completely turn off for a couple of minutes, this serious safety issue if this will happen the same issue at freeway then we don't know what to do.

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. A COMPLAINT WAS SUBMITTED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,100.

Auto Idle stop. twice my car has shut of when auto idle was engaged. Traveling at speed have to stop to merge or at red light auto idle will engaged. Car shut off when the brake was released followed by a warning display in the speedometer screen to put car in park and and restart. Those are the facts now for the issue. I was traveling on I35 in Texas merged onto 190. Had to momentarily stop to merge. I let off brake and the car died. Cars where coming up on me fast. I was able to engage hazard flashers and restart car. Second time I was at red light released brake and car died. Followed same procedure and got car restarted. This has happened twice in last two weeks My car is now in the shop . When researching on line this seems to be a common problem.

AUTO RESTART HAS TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF AT A STOPLIGHT AND THEN NOT RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND PUT THE DRIVETRAIN INTO NEUTRAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW. ALSO THE CAR SHIFTS INTO GEARS THAT EITHER SLOW MY CAR UP WHEN I’M TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND SPEEDING MY VEHICLE UP WHEN BRAKING.

MY CAR WAS "STALL OUT" AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN WHEN I WAS IN "AUTO IDLE-STOP" AND PRESSED ON THE GAS. I FIRST NOTICED THAT THE AUTO IDLE-STOP WAS HESITATING WHEN IT WOULD START UP. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE RADIO WOULD "CUT OUT". AFTER THAT, THE VEHICLE WOULD JUST STALL OUT AND I WOULD HAVE TO PUSH PARK, PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THEN PUSH START. THIS IS VERY INCONVENIENT WHEN YOU ARE AT A STOP LIGHT OR GETTING READY TO MAKE A TURN AND THE VEHICLE JUST "DIES". TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SOFTWARE ADJUSTMENT. THE AUTO IDLE-STOP WORKED FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, THEN STARTED HESITATING AND NOW IT INTERMITTENTLY STALLS WHEN THE GAS IS PRESSED.

GOT INTO A FRONTAL COLLISION AND THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM PROBLEM APPEARED ON THE DASH.

THE ENGINE AUTO/STOP FEATURE HAD FAILED 3 TIMES IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE FEATURE TURNS OFF THE ENGINE WHEN STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND DOES NOT TURN BACK ON AND DISENGAGES THE CAR.

THE "AUTO IDLE-STOP" IS AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED ON THIS VEHICLE. WHENEVER IT IS "ON" THE CAR WILL STALL AND SHUT DOWN WHEN STOPPING IN TRAFFIC OR AT LIGHTS. HAVE BROUGHT TO HONDA, THEY SAY IT CANNOT BE FIXED AND ITS VERY DANGEROUS.

THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTO SHUT OFF AND RESTART FEATURE. THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF AT A STOPLIGHT OR IN A PARKING LOT AND THEN DOES NOT RESTART AUTOMATICALLY AS IT SHOULD. THE VEHICLE MUST BE POWERED OFF AND ON MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL RESTART. THERE SEEMS TO BE A FAULTY SENSOR OR SOME THING. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS PROVIDED NO EXPLANATION EXCEPT IT'S A BATTERY ISSUE WHICH IT IS NOT CONNECTED AS WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY. I AM CONCERNED THAT WHEN I AM IN TRAFFIC AT A STOPLIGHT IF I HAVE FORGOTTEN TO PRESS THE BUTTON TO DISENGAGE THE AUTO RESTART THEN I'LL BE STRANDED WHILE TRYING TO RESTART THE CAR. IT HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT THE LAST 18 MONTHS.

RECURRING PROBLEM WITH IDLE STOP FEATURE CAUSING CAR ENGINE TO SHUT OFF COMPLETELY (EVEN WHEN DISABLED), RESULTING IN AN ERROR MESSAGE AND REQUIRING THE CAR TO BE TURNED OFF AND ON. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY IF IN AN INTERSECTION WHILE TURNING.

VEHICLE STATIONARY. AUTO ENGINE IDLE ENGAGED. CAR LOSSES POWER. BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL YEAR. DEALER SAYS NOTHING WRONG. NOW ON TWO OCCASIONS, CAR HAS STALLED WHEN BRAKE RELEASED TO RE-ENGAGE ENGINE. CAR GOING INTO SHOP. CAR IS STATIONARY AND BASICALLY STALLS. SOMETIMES POWER LOSS DISABLES COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEMS

CAR ENGINE TURNED OFF IN DRIVE THRU AND TOOK 1 MINUTE TO RESTART CAR. KEPT PRESSING START BUTTON AND CAR FINALLY STARTED. THIS IS 2ND OR 3RD TIME HAPPENING.

AUTO SHUT OFF WHEN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT WILL NOT RESTART ENGINE. HAD ORANGE RED LIGHT ON DASH SAYING YOU MUST PUT IN PARK AND PRESS BREAK TO AND PRESS START AGAIN. ALSO RADIO WENT OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS ALSO. IT ALSO HAS BEEN HESITANT TO ACCELERATE AFTER AUTO SHUT OFF STARTS ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES JUST IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS

I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. I PURCHASED IT CERTIFIED USED FROM GOUDY HONDA 626.576.1114 ON 11/13/2019. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AT TIME OF VEHICLE'S PURCHASE. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR LESS THAN 2000 MILES SINCE I PURCHASED IT. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE STALLING ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES EACH BEING PROGRESSIVELY MORE ACUTE THAN THE PREVIOUS. I FIRST REPORTED THIS TO LONG BEACH HONDA AT MY SERVICE APT ON 10/15/2020. AT THAT TIME THE ISSUE WAS A HESITATION WHEN THE AUTO IDLE WOULD ENGAGE AT A RED LIGHT, IT WOULD START AFTER A SECOND OR TWO OF DELAY. TO COPE, WE HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE HABIT OF USING THE AUTO-OFF BUTTON BELOW THE GEAR SELECTOR. HOWEVER, THE LAST TWO TIME I HAVE FILLED UP FUEL AND GOT IN TO DRIVE OFF I HAVE FORGOTTEN TO 'PUSH THE BUTTON.' TODAY I FORGOT TO PUSH THE BUTTON AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR, WHEN MY CAR STALLED AND REFUSED TO START BACK UP. I NOTICED IN THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS WERE ACTIVATED AND THE CAR GEAR SELECTOR WENT TO NEUTRAL. THE DANGER WAS I WAS ON A DOWN HILL SLOP AND ROLLED INTO TRAFFIC AS I MISSED MY WINDOW TO PULL OUT HAD MY CAR STARTED UP PROPERLY. THE DASH DISPLAYED THE PUSH BRAKE AND PUSH START MESSAGE. THAT DID NOTHING. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK USING THE PARK BUTTON AND THEN OPEN MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. AFTER I CLOSED THE DOOR THE CAR BEHAVED NORMAL AND STARTED WITHOUT ISSUE. I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY, THAT THE DRIVER HEADING AT MY DOOR WAS AWARE ENOUGH TO MITIGATE A MUCH WORSE TURN OF EVENTS. I WILL AGAIN REPORT THIS TO LONG BEACH HONDA WHEN THEY OPEN ON MONDAY. SEARCHING THE WEB I FOUND A NUMBER OF OTHER MODEL OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RESOLUTION PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURE OF THIS VEHICLE. I WILL BE INSTALLING A DASH CAM TO TRY AND CAPTURE THIS WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. ONCE THAT IS COMPLETE, I WILL HAVE A COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION OF THE CASE TO FORWARD TO COUNSEL. LEMON LAW.

VEHICLE DOES NOT RE-START AND APPEARS TO HAVE AN ELECTRICAL OUTAGE (ALL LIGHTS COME ON AND THE RADIO SHUTS OFF) AFTER "IDLE OFF" FEATURE IS ACTIVATED (MEANING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE) AT RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TAKES 2-3 TRIES TO RE-START BY PUSHING THE START BUTTON. SO VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I'M AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, AND ESPECIALLY WITH KIDS IN THE CAR AND I CAN NOT MOVE. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME. I HAD TO TURN OFF THIS FEATURE FOR SAFETY REASONS OR RISK BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. TWO YEARS AGO I HAD A HONDA DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND AN ISSUE. I CHOSE THE MOST RECENT DATE OF OCCURRENCE (YESTERDAY) FOR THIS FORM BUT IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 4 YEARS. I CURRENTLY HAVE 45,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE.

THEY SAID DID RESET AND SENT IT HOME.ON MARCH24 THIS YEAR GOT ERROR FOR KEYLESS ENTRY ,HONDA SAID ON RECALL CHANGED START BUTTON,ON MARCI 29 CAR ALARM STARTED GOING OFF AGAIN ,SO BROUGHT IT BACK TO HONDA NOW THEY SAY IT'S KEYLESS ACCESS/TIM'S CONTROL UNIT AND PROGRAM UNIT AND KEYS & MEMORIZE TIM'S SENSORS 832.DOLLARS.NEED TO MENTION CAR ONLY HAS 45K.THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED EACH TIME

WHEN I'M PUSHING THE START BUTTON TO TURN THE ENGINE, AN ERROR OCCURRED IN THE DASHBOARD 'KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM' MY MILEAGE IS 37991. THE DEALER DIDN'T FIND ANY ISSUE, THEY RUN VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC AND I CHANGE MY BATTERY OF MY KEY. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE? OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT NEEDS UPDATING..PLEASE HELP ME. THANKS HOW TO FIX.

WHILE CHANGING LANES (CAR IN MOTION 65 MPH) IN THE CITY, WARNING LIGHTS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLASTER STARTED TO APPEAR. ENGINE LOST POWER ( COULD NOT ACCELERATE) HAD TO CHANGE LANES IN TRAFFIC ALMOST GOT HIT BY SEMI TRUCKS. MANAGED TO DRIFT TO SIDE OF THE ROAD, CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND COULD NOT GET INTO PARK. USED PARKING BREAK TO KEEP CAR FROM ROLLING. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FINALLY MADE UP ITS MIND AND SETTLED ON EMISSIONS ERROR. BEFORE THAT IN WAS SHOWING ALL SORTS OF ERRORS. TURNED OFF THE CAR WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. VERY SCARY WITH KIDS IN CAR.

HONDA 2016 TOURING SHUT OFF WHEN STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHT OR INTERSECTION, IT DOES NOT AUTO RESTART FROM IDLING-STOP MODE. IT TOOK COUPLE OF TRIES TO PRESS THE BREAK AND PUSH THE START BUTTON FOR THE CAR TO START. I ALSO NOTICED THE RADIO TURNED OFF AND THE CAR PUT ITSELF TO PARK. IT STARTED COUPLE MONTHS BACK, AND GETTING MORE FREQUENT.

THE PUSH START BUTTON DOES NOT WORK, IT IS GIVING ME AN ERROR 'KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM'. I CHANGED THE KEY FOB'S BATTERY TO A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND IT IS NOT THE KEY FOB WITH ISSUES, IT IS THE BUTTON ITSELF. I HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING THE BREAK AND THE START BUTTON TO GET THE CAR TO START WORKING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 3 MONTHS AND IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE, I HAVE TO PRESS THE START BUTTON LIKE A TOY.

IT HAPPENED TO MYSELF W/ MY CHILD IN MY CAR & THEN MY SPOUSE DRIVING MY CAR ALONE. HOWEVER THE SAME PROBLEM IS KNOWN TO HONDA BUT UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED, THEY ARE REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE, THE CAMSHAFT SHUTTING OFF ALL CONTROLS WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS. AS AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER, I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A COLLUSION ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY SURROUNDED BY TRACTOR TRAILERS GOING 65MPH. ALTHOUGH THE HONDA DEALER HAS REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT TWICE ON MY 2016 HONDA PILOT WITH LESS THAN 46,000, I AM FEARFUL THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. WE ARE LEFT WITH A BALANCE TO PAY OFF, THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILY WHILE DRIVING THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE AND JUST CUT OUT LOSSES. HOWEVER, THIS WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAD A 2006 HONDA PILOT WITH VERY LITTLE PROBLEMS FOR 10 YEARS, 95K MILES ON IT. IT WAS WHY I PURCHASED ANOTHER HONDA PILOT. HOWEVER, I SPENT A LOT MORE MONEY. THIS 2016 PILOT WAS $30K WITH THE $10K TRADE IN. WE MAINTAIN ALL OUR VEHICLES AS WELL AS GARAGE KEEP THEM TO PROTECT THEM FROM THE HARSH PA WINTER ELEMENTS. AS A DRIVER FOR OVER 32 YEARS AND ZERO ACCIDENTS, I DO NOT WANT TO BE THE CAUSE OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE HONDA IS NEGLECTING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS NEW GERMAN MADE ENGINE AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER PROBLEMS LIKE THIS ONE THAT BEGAN ONE YR AFTER PURCHASE I BROUGHT TO IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER. I AM SURE THEY REPORT THESE FINDINGS TO THE MANUFACTURE AS WELL. THE REMOTE KEY STOPPED WORKING, SEVERAL INTERIOR OUTLETS FOR CHARGING HAS STOPPED WORKING, A DOME LIGHT DOESN'T WORK, THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER CAN'T BE PROGRAMMED ANYMORE AND OTHER FEATURES ARE NO LONGER WORKING. IT IS A DANGEROUS CAR TO DRIVE WITH THE RISK OF STARTING ON FIRE AS WELL AS STOPPING ABRUPTLY LIKE IT DID FOR ME IN 2018 AND 2021 FOR MY HUSBAND. VINART LV HONDA EMMAUS, PA

TWO MAIN PROBLEMS: 1) VEHICLE WON'T START AND DISPLAYS "KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR". HONDA ISSUED A RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE AND LOCAL DEALERSHIP REPLACED ENGINE START/STOP SWITCH ASSEMBLY. PROBLEM AND ERROR MESSAGE RETURNED AGAIN 3 DAYS LATER. ON RETURN TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TRIED TO BLAME IT ON A WEAK (5 MONTH OLD) BATTERY. (I TESTED BATTERY AT 3 DIFFERENT AUTO PARTS STORES AFTER TRIP TO DEALERSHIP; BATTERY TESTS AS GOOD AS NEW). COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE ON INTERNET MESSAGE BOARDS, OWNERS' MESSAGE BOARDS AND HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN (20-117) HAS BEEN ISSUED. CHANGING THE START/STOP SWITCH DOESN'T APPEAR TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM IN ALL VEHICLES. 2) PROBLEM WITH ENGINE NOT AUTO RE-STARTING AFTER GOING INTO AN AUTO IDLE STOP. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH MY VEHICLE, INCLUDING TWICE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO NAVIGATE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION DURING START AND STOP TRAFFIC. HIGHLY UNSAFE SITUATION. I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE, BUT NUMEROUS HONDA TECHNICAL RESEARCH & SUPPORT GROUP 'DEALERSHIP ONLY' MESSAGES HAVE BEEN ISSUED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. TESTING AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP COULDN'T LOCATE ANY PROBLEMS. I TURN OFF THE AUTO IDLE STOP FEATURE IMMEDIATELY WHEN USING THE VEHICLE TO KEEP FROM GETTING STUCK IN TRAFFIC AGAIN.

TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK MY HONDA PILOT HAS SHUT OFF WHEN AUTO-IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT. THE CAR SHOULD REMAIN IN DRIVE BUT WHEN I LOOKED DOWN IT HAD SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. THE FIRST MESSAGE ON THE DASH BRIEFLY FLASHED 'CRASH MITIGATION PROBLEM' AND THEN INSTRUCTED ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PUSH THE ENGINE START BUTTON. AFTER THIS INCIDENT, I TURNED OFF THE CRASH MITIGATION SYSTEM. A COUPLE DAYS LATER (TODAY), THE SAME THING HAPPENED. NO CRASH MITIGATION SYSTEM FLASH BUT INSTRUCTIONS TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PRESS THEN ENGINE START BUTTON. BOTH TIMES THE ENGINE WAS ON AND IN DRIVE. AUTO IDLING WAS ENABLED. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR FOR TWO MONTHS.

OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY CAR SHUTTING OFF WHEN AT A STOP AFTER THE AUTO OFF FEATURE ENGAGES AND DOES NOT TURN BACK ON. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND MANUALLY RESTART THE ENGINE TO CONTINUE. THIS WAS HAPPENING AT LEAST A COUPLE TIMES A MONTH. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. I BEGAN TO GET IN THE HABIT OF DISABLING THE AUTO OFF FEATURE EVERY TIME I STARTED THE CAR AND THIS SEEMED TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. TWO DAYS AGO, HOWEVER, WHEN I WAS DRIVING, IT BEGAN TO SHUT OFF EVERY TIME I WAS IDLING AT A RED LIGHT (8 TIMES IN ONE DAY) EVEN WITH THE AUTO-OFF DISABLED. AND WHEN I GOT ON THE FREEWAY, DRIVING AT ABOUT 55MPH, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I HAD TO EMERGENTLY COAST OVER PAST THE FAST LANE INTO A NARROW INSIDE SHOULDER. I HAD MY YOUNG CHILDREN AND ELDERLY PARENTS IN THE CAR AND IT WAS A VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE FOR US. WE WERE THANKFUL ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND GET OFF THE FREEWAY WITH THE CAR SHUTTING OFF TWO MORE TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS (10-20 MPH) BEFORE ARRIVING AT A GAS STATION PARKING LOT. THE DISPLAY CYCLED THROUGH MANY ERROR MESSAGES IE EMISSION SYSTEMS PROBLEM, POWER STEERING SYSTEM PROBLEM, TRANSMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM, EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM, HILL START ASSIST PROBLEM, ETC. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT WE HAVE GOT CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS.

WHEN DRIVING A WARNING CAME UP THAT I HAVE AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON. JUST HAD OIL CHANGED AND JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR 6 MONTHS AGO.

MY 2016 HONDA PILOT IS GIVING ME PROBLEMS ON FILLING UP MY GAS TANK. MY CAR HAS 46000 MILE AND I DON'T THINK ANY PARTS ARE DAMAGED CAUSE IT ONLY 5 YES OLD. I TRIED LOOKING FOR ANSWERS IN THE WEB BUT NO ONE HAD A CLUE YET THERE WAS LOTS OF PEOPLE FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM. IS THERE ANYWAY YOU GUYS CAN HELP ME WITH THIS. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL MY GAS TANK IT STOPS FILLING AS IF IT'S FULL BUT IT'S NOT. IT TAKES ME A LONG TIME TO FILL IT UP.

POWER DRIVERS SEAT BROKE TWO YEARS AGO +. WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN. HONDA WANTS $450 TO REPAIR. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN AT 3 YEARS OLD.

THE AUTO SHUT TURNS THE CAR OFF AT A STOP LIGHT AND THEN THE CAR WILL NOT RESTART. IT USUALLY NEEDS A JUMP. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THREE YEARS IN THE WINTER. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED FOUR TIMES. I HAVE TRACED TO THE ISSUE TO AN OVERLOAD OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE ALTERNATOR IS NOT CAPABLE OF POURING ALL OF THE DEVICES IN THE CAR AND THUS THE BATTERY DRAINS. IF I RUN THE HEATED SEATS AND STEERING WHEEL, THE BATTERY WILL DISCHARGE WITHIN 30 MINUTES EVEN IF THE CAR IS DRIVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE BEEN STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS SEVERAL TIMES. THE AUTOSTART FEATURE NEEDS TO HAVE THE OPTION TO STAY DIS-ENGAGED WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT OFF. IT IS UNSAFE TO HAVE THE CAR FAILS TO START AT STOPLIGHTS OR WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS DESIGNED IMPROPERLY. DO THE MATH. THE LOAD FROM THE ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES, TWO HEATED FRONT SEATS, TWO REAR HEATED SEATS, HEATED STEERING WHEEL, HEATED MIRRORS, HEATED REAR WINDSHIELD WILL EASILY OVERLOAD THE POWER OF A STANDARD ALTERNATOR. THE VEHICLE NEEDS A LARGER ALTERNATOR AND A LARGER BATTERY (MAYBE DUAL) WITH ISOLATION SO IT CAN START AT STOPLIGHTS.

AT 38000 MILES VEHICLE DISPLAYED AN ERROR CODE RELATING TO THE KEYLESS START. A WEEK LATER THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. UNHOOKED THE BATTERY TO RESET THE SYSTEM AND THE ERROR CAME BACK. DEALER REPLACED THE START BUTTON BUT ISSUE RETURNED A FEW DAYS LATER.

THREE TIMES THE CAR HAS STALLED AND SHUT DOWN AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT ON A BUSY CITY STREET WHILE THE AUTO IDLE FEATURE WAS ON. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN AND YOUR FOOT COMES OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR SHUTS OFF AND PUTS ITSELF IN PARK. THE CAR WILL NOT START AND EACH TIME WE TRIED TO START IT ALL THE DIFFERENT WARNING MESSAGES CYCLE THROUGH ON THE DASH SUCH AS HILL START ASSIST, TRAILER STABILITY ASSIST, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION ETC. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR FINALLY STARTED. THE SECOND TIME IT WOULD NOT START AND A TOW TRUCK HAD TO BE CALLED. SINCE THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO NEUTRAL THE CAR HAD TO BE DRAGGED ONTO THE FLATBED TOW TRUCK. THE THIRD TIME THE BATTERY WAS JUMPED AND THE CAR FINALLY STARTED. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN TEST EACH TIME AND IT IS FINE. THIS HAS CAUSED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MY FAMILY BY BEING STUCK IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS. OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER SAID THEY DON'T KNOW WHY IT IS HAPPENING AND WILL NEED TO RUN TESTS. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE SO I KNOW IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE. HONDA NEED TO RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM WARNING APPEARS ON THE SCREEN.

MOLDING TRIM ON ROOF OF THE VEHICLE IS LIFTING AND NOT SECURED. MOLDING TRIM AROUND WINDSHIELD IS NOT SECURED AND A PLASTIC SCREW DETERIORATED AND FELL OUT. TRIM WON'T STAY IN CLIPS ON THE ROOF OR ON THE WINDSHIELD. I NOTICED THE TRIM AROUND THE WINDSHIELD WAS LIFTED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. I NOTICED THE ROOF TRIM LIFTED WHEN I ARRIVED HOME AND THE SCREW ON THE WINDSHIELD BY THE VENT.

WE HAVE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH OUR AUTO-IDLE FEATURE MALFUNCTIONING THAT BEGAN AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES. I HAVE WRITTEN A COMPLAINT HERE BEFORE, AS HAVE MANY OTHER 2016 PILOT OWNERS, HOWEVER NOTHING APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN DONE TO DATE. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY FEATURE WHEN THE AUTO-IDLE IS ENGAGED, FOOT IS TAKEN OFF THE BRAKE AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF, OFTEN TIMES NOT STARTING BACK UP WITHOUT A JUMP START. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF, WARNING LIGHTS FLASH ALL OVER THE DASH AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU TRY THE CAR WILL NOT START BACK UP.THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE WITH OUR 2 DAUGHTERS NUMEROUS TIMES. FORTUNATELY, THERE HASN'T BEEN AN ACCIDENT, BUT MY GREATEST FEAR IS ONE TIME THERE WILL BE. NATURALLY THIS ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT BUSY INTERSECTIONS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, REPLACED THE START/STOP SWITCH, CLEANED OUT MULTIPLE ERROR CODES. NOTHING HAS PROVIDED A PERMANENT FIX. WE JUST HAD TO HAVE OUR TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 70,000 MILES! THE PROBLEM REARED IT'S HEAD AGAIN TODAY. THIS TIME MY WIFE HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE, THE GAS PEDAL (BOTH WITH ALL HER MIGHT) AND PRESS THE START/STOP BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME. SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT. I'M CONVINCED WE HAVE A LEMON, HOWEVER THE DEALER SEEMS TO THINK WE DON'T HAVE A CASE FOR THAT. HONDA HAS TO STEP IN AND TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY. THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY 2016 PILOT OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE FOR HONDA NOT TO REALIZE THE VALID SAFETY CONCERN WE ALL HAVE. TAKE A LOOK AT PILOTEERS.ORG AND YOU WILL FIND A RIDICULOUSLY LONG LIST OF FRUSTRATED 2016 PILOT OWNERS ALL STRUGGLING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM URGING YOU TO TAKE ACTION TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR THE SAFETY FEATURES, HOWEVER "SAFE" ISN'T SOMETHING I FEEL KNOWING MY WIFE AND DAUGHTERS ARE IN THIS VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES PER DAY.

THE PAINT NEAR THE MOON ROOF IS PEELING AND EXPOSING THE VEHICLE BODY TO CORROSION. HONDA PREVIOUSLY ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN (19-057) THAT EXTENDS THE WARRANTY TO 7 YEARS FROM PURCHASE DATE FOR 2013-2016 HONDA PILOT WIHTH MOONROOF AND PAINTED WHITE DIAMOND PEARL. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED, EVEN THOUGH IT'S CLEAR THERE IS A PAINT DEFECT THAT IS COVERED UNDER THE SERVICE BULLETIN, FOR THE PRESCRIBED VEHICLE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR.

THE AUTO SHUT OFF FEATURE TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AT A RED LIGHT - AND WOULD NOT TURN THE CAR BACK ON ONCE THE BRAKE WAS RELEASED. WE NEEDED TO JUMP THE PILOT TO GET IT TO TURN OVER AGAIN. AS THIS HAPPENED AT AN INTERSECTION ON A STATE HIGHWAY, WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO NOT BE REAR-ENDED! VERY UNSAFE AND THE MECHANIC SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BATTERY!!

ROOF MOLDINGS HAVE BEEN POPPING OFF WITHOUT HAVING ANYTHING DAMAGED THEM OR AFFECTED THEN IN ANY WAY. THEY ARE COMING OFF ON THEIR OWN.

PERSISTENT KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM AND AUTO LOCK FEATURE HAS STOPPED WORKING.

PROBLEM WITH THE AUTO STOP/START FEATURE- THE ENGINE STOPS BUT DOESN'T ALWAYS START . IT TRIES TO START BUT DOESN'T. PRESSING THE START BUTTON (IGNITION) DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK RIGHT AWAY. SEAMS YOU HAVE TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, AND PRESS THE START BUTTON (SOMETIMES 4-5 TIMES) BEFORE THE ENGINE STARTS. THIS IS NERVE RACKING AND DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC- SAY AT A LIGHT, OR TRYING TO CROSS OVER ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE TIME IS TAKES SOMETIMES TO RE-START THE ENGINE IS ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. (DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN). IT'S NOT THE BATTERY. I HAD A NEW BATTERY REPLACEMENT. I ALSO TRIED USING A TRICKLE CHARGER TO "TOP OFF" THE BATTERY INCASE IT WASN'T FULLY CHARGED. NO LUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION OR STOPPED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SWITCH TO AUTO-START MODE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE, THE TAILLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (780 W MARTIN LUTHER KING JR BLVD, LOS ANGELES, CA 90037, (213) 266-7366) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCM NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED AND THE BATTERY WAS DRAINING POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V668000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,383.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR. INTERMITTENT FOR MONTHS. NOT PRESENT WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP TWICE. SCHEDULED SERVICE AGAIN NEXT WEEK WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP IT WOULD COST $134 PER HOUR TO DIAGNOSE ISSUE. WALK AWAY AUTO LOCK NO LONGER FUNCTIONS TRUNK HATCH INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT POWER OPEN OR CLOSED. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL SO I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA FOR NOT ISSUING A RECALL.

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND MY ENGINE TURNED OFF FROM THE IDLE/STOP FEATURE. HOWEVER, WHEN I RELEASED THE BRAKES THIS TIME, THE CAR DID NOT TURN ON AS IT NORMALLY DOES. INSTEAD, THE WHOLE VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND IT TOOK ME SEVERAL TRIES TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I REPLACED THE CAR BATTERY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN A MONTH AFTER. MY PILOT WOULD NOT TURN ON AGAIN AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKES.

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2016 HONDA PILOT 3 TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANT FIGURED OUT WHY THE KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHT IS COMING ON. THEY REPLACED THE STARTED AND ALSO THE BATTERY BECAUSE SOMETHING IN THE ELECTRICAL IS BAD.

CAR IS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. CAR WILL NOT START. REMOTE KEYLESS START ERROR. CALLED THE HONDA DEALER. THEY SAID TO HAVE IT TOWED IN. WAITING ON THE TOW TRUCK RIGHT NOW.

WHEN TURNED OFF, CAR MAKES CLICKING NOISES WHILE DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS AND CABIN LIGHTS FLICKER INTERMITTENTLY. OFTEN I GET A KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR MESSAGE. OTHER TIMES JUST LIGHTS AND CLICKING NOISES. ALSO, HORN SOUNDS INTERMITTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY WHILE CAR IS LOCKED AND FOB IS UNTOUCHED. HORN BEGINS AND STOPS RANDOMLY. THIS OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, IN BOTH PARKING LOTS AND GARAGE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP. THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS. IT HAS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

THERE ARE TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS, BUT THE DANGEROUS ONE IS THE AUTO-IDLE DOESN'T ALWAYS ALLOW THE CAR TO RESTART. WHEN I GO INTO IDLE AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT AND I START TO ACCELERAT, ALL OF THE LIGHTS INSIDE SHUT OFF AND THE CAR STALLS AFTER A FOOT OR TWO. SO FAR IT HAS ALWAYS MANAGED TO RESTART ITSELF, BUT I'VE STARTED TURNING IT OFF WHENEVER I GET INTO THE CAR BECAUSE THIS IS DANGEROUS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS AND IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE (IT PROBABLY STARTED A YEAR AGO). AT THE SAME TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, I GOT A "KEYLESS IGNITION PROBLEM" WARNING LIGHT. THE WALK AWAY LOCK FEATURE DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE. I'VE READ NUMEROUS REPORTS THAT SAY FIXING THE KEYLESS SWITCH DOESN'T HELP WITH THE AUTO IDLE AND THERE'S NO SPECIFIC ERROR CODE FOR ISSUES WITH THE AUTO IDLE SYSTEM.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR. CAR HAVE BEEN SHOWING THIS ERROR INTERMITTENTLY. REPLACED BATTERIES AND STILL SHOWS ERROR. WHEN I PRESSED THE BUTTON TO START OR TURN OFF MY CAR, IT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE IT AND IT TAKES A FEW PRESSES BEFORE IT'LL START/TURN OFF MY CAR.

THE AUTOMATIC START SYSTEM TURNS THE CAR OFF AND ON WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN FOR EXAMPLE. THE FEATURE SOMETIMES WITHOUT ANY WARNING FAILS TO RESTART THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY. THE DRIVER MUST PUT THE CAR IN PARK, PUSH DOWN ON THE BRAKE, RESTART THE CAR AND THEN SHIFT INTO PARK TAKING A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR SO MANY REASONS AND IT MUST MANUALLY BE TURNED OFF BECAUSE IT DEFAULTS TO ON. WITH NO WARNING YOUR CAR COULD BE TURNED OFF AND NOT AUTOMATICALLY START WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES STOPPED AT RED LIGHT, STOP SIGNS AND IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I WOULD LIKE TO EITHER HAVE A WARNING IN PLACE OR BE ABLE TO PERMANENTLY DISABLE THIS DANGEROUS FEATURE.

THE CAR STALLS OUT AT TIMES WHEN STOPPED. THE GEAR SWITCHES TO NEUTRAL. WHEN I CHANGE IT TO PARK THEN I GET A MESSAGE THAT I NEED TO START ENGINE BUT THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. I AM NOT ABLE TO STOP IT EITHER BY PRESSING BREAK AND THE STOP/START BUTTON. I TRIED IT MULTIPLE TIMES AND FINALLY IT STOPPED AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AND DRIVE AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTER WHILE SHE WAS ON AN ON RAMP TO A HIGHWAY SO THIS BEHAVIOR US NOT ONLY INCONVENIENT BUT VERY DANGEROUS. WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID THAT SINCE NO ERROR CODE SHOWS UP THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING. THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUIDS AND THE DAY AFTER I PICKED UP THE CAR THE SAME THING HAPPENED.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND WHEN DIAGNOSED BY THE REPAIR SHOP THE CODE P0456 WHICH IS VERY SMALL EVAP LEAK. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF WITH THE RECALL ON THIS CAR. THE REPAIR SHOP PRINTED ALL OF THE RECALLS AND TOLD ME MOST LIKELY IT WOULD NEED THE FUEL TANK REPLACED WHICH IS COVER UNDER A RECALL. THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SEE OF THE RECALL WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THE RECALL WAS DONE IN THE PAST.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CEL) APPEARS, RANDOMLY WHEN PARKED OR IN MOTION, INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH EMISSIONS SYSTEM. CEL BEGAN TO APPEAR AT APPROXIMATELY 77,000 MILES. CAR NOW HAS OVER 85,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED, WHEN IT HAD 68,000 MILES. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN OUTSIDE OF THE U.S.. CEL APPEARS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS BETWEEN 0 AND 60 MPH. WHEN IN MOTION AND CEL IS DISPLAYED, ENGINE HESITATION OCCURS CAUSING ME TO INCREASE VEHICLE SPEED AND ENGINE RPM TO ENSURE I HAVE SUFFICIENT POWER TO: COMPLETE A TURN, PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, OR MAKE IT UP A HILL. I AM NEVER SURE I WILL HAVE ENOUGH POWER. ADDITIONALLY, THE MILEAGE ECONOMY DISPLAY CHANGES FROM SHADES OF GREEN TO SOLID WHITE. CEL REMAINS VISIBLE ON DASHBOARD UNTIL IT RANDOMLY DISAPPEARS. CEL WILL REMAIN LIT RANGING FROM 30 MINUTES TO SEVERAL DAYS AND DISAPPEAR AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. WHEN IT DISAPPEARS, ENGINE HESITATION STOPS AND ECONOMY DISPLAY RETURNS TO SHADES OF GREEN DEPENDING ON WHETHER ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. I FIRST BELIEVED IT TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK CAP. HOWEVER, THE CAP IS A HINGED FLAP THAT RETURNS TO THE CLOSED POSITION AFTER I HAVE FINISHED REFUELING. I PREDOMINANTLY USE E87 OCTANE WITH ETHANOL. BUT E89 FUEL MAKES NO DIFFERENCE BECAUSE THE CEL AND HESITATION RANDOMLY STILL OCCUR. I HAVE NOT TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE I HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WHEN THE CEL IS DISPLAYED. THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THEY CAN ONLY DIAGNOSE WHEN THE CEL IS DISPLAYED. SIMILAR DESCRIPTIONS FROM OTHER HONDA PILOT OWNERS CAN BE FOUND AT HTTPS://WWW.PILOTEERS.ORG/THREADS/EMISSIONS-SYSTEM-PROBLEM-CHECK-ENGINE-LIGHT.157705/.

WHEN MY CAR FUEL WENT DOWN TO EMPTY THE LIGHT CAME ON AND I PULLED OVER TO GET GAS. WHEN I PUSHED THE AUTOMATIC RELEASE BUTTON MY FUEL DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I SEARCHED UP POSSIBLE CAUSES AND FOUND A VIDEO OF A MAN DEMONSTRATING WHERE YOU CAN FIND A MANUAL LEVER TO POLE TO RELEASE THE FUEL DOOR. I FOUND THE LEVER AND PULLED IT AT THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT TOO FAR AWAY FROM HOME AND DROVE HOME ON MY EMPTY TANK. IF I HAD BEEN SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER WHO HAD TO PULL APART HALF OF MY CAR TO GET TO THE PLACE TO FIX IT. I HAD ALSO READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER HONDA PILOT OWNERS. IT SEEMS DANGEROUS.

KEEP ENCOUNTERING KEYLESS REMOTE START PROBLEM. PROBLEM DOES NOT RESOLVE. TAKES SEVERAL TRIES TO GET CAR STARTED.

AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT. DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD WHEN BRAKE'S LOCKED AND CAR DID NOT RESPOND, RUNNING DIRECTLY INTO A TELEPHONE POLE WHILE ON A HILL/SLOPE. CAR PICKED UP SPEED BEFORE IMPACT. AIR BAG SENSOR OR ERROR APPEARED ON IMPACT, CAR SMELLED OF SMOKE/BURNING. FRONT BODY AND FRAME HAD EXTENSIVE DAMAGE, IE. RADIATOR CAGE(?). AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND POLICE STATED THAT GIVEN THE IMPACT, THEY SHOULD HAVE. CAR IS BEING REPAIRED AND AIR BAG SENSOR CONTINUES TO DISPLAY WITHOUT KNOWN CAUSE.

ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYS AND WARNING MESSAGE READS KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR. I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERIES ON BOTH KEY FOBS AND IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. NO OTHER ISSUES AT THIS TIME. WARNING LIGHTS HAS DISPLAYED FOR ABOUT THE LAST 1,000 MILES. THE ALERT DID DISAPPEAR FOR ABOUT 50 MILES AND RETURNED.

WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED, DASHBOARD DISPLAYS MESSAGE "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM." THIS IS BEING REPORTED FREQUENTLY ON THE INTERNET AND APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE. WHEN IT OCCURS, THE AUTOMATIC WALK AWAY DOOR LOCK FEATURE ALSO QUITS WORKING. SUPPOSED FIX IS TO REPLACE THE START/STOP SWITCH WHICH I DID. THIS RESOLVED THE DASHBOARD ERROR MESSAGE BUT NOT THE AUTOMATIC LOCK ISSUE. THIS SAME RESULT IS BEING REPORTED FREQUENTLY ON THE INTERNET AND THE PROBLEM IS BEING REPORTED FOR HONDA PILOTS BEGINNING WITH THE 2016 MODEL AND CONTINUING UP TO THE 2021 MODEL.

KEYLESS START SENSOR CONTINUES TO STAY ON DESPITE BATTERY REPLACEMENTS ON BOTH KEYS. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO BE AN ISSUE FOR THE PAST MONTH.

ALL OF MY WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON BACK IN OCT 2020.. WE DID SOME DRIVING THE DAY BEFORE,. BUT NOTHING CRAZY... EVERY LIGHT WENT OFF .. SO TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS FUEL INJECTORS.. SO THEY REPLACED IT ALL .. AND SAID IT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM... THEN I DROVE IT TO SOUTHERN CA DURING THANKSGIVING AND THEN ALL OF SUDDEN COMING DOWN FROM (GRAPEVINE) THE CAR STALLED, I PRESS THE GAS AND NOTHING .. I WAS ABLE TO COAST IT TO SIDE OF THE ROAD..ATTACHED IS A PIC OF WHAT WAS COMING UP.. THEN I PUT CAR IN PARK AND AND THE RPM STARTED TO GO UP 4-5 RPM WITHOUT ME PRESSING GAS, SO I WOULD TURN OFF CAR.. 10 MIN LATER I STARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT OFF THE FREEWAY.. BUT COULDNT DRIVE MORE THAN 50 MPH.. SO THE TRANSMISSION WOULD CHANGE.. SO AFTER GETTING TOWED AND TOOK FEW DAYS.. TOOK TO HONDA DEALERSHIP IN VENTURA CA.. WORST SERVICE EVER.. PRETTY MUCH DIDNT WANT TO LOOK AT VEHICHLE.. SO THEN TOOK TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP MORE HELPFUL.. ALL THE ERROR LIGHT WAS GONE.. THEY TOLD ME ONLY ERROR WAS SOME OIL PRESSURE DOWN.. AND SUGGESTED THAT OIL FILTER WASNT N AUTHENTIC OIL FILTER AND THATS WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED PROBLEM.. YES IDONT TYPICALLY SEND TO DEALERSHIP BUT I DO GO TO A AUTHENTIC OIL CHANGE COMPANY...

PLEASE FIND A SOLUTION.. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO TAKE MY VEHCILE AND DRIVE IT HOME WITH A TECHNICIAN TO SEE IF ANYTHING COME UP.. BUT NOW IM SEEING A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.. EITHER TRANSMISSION.. OIL CHANGE.. REASON I TOOK HONDA IS DUE TO THE SAFETY AND RELAIABILITY.. BUT NOW IM HAVIGN DOUBTS.. PLEASE HELP!!.. LUCKILY ALL UNDER EXTENDED WARRENTY.. BUT FOR HOW LONG?

I AM GETTING AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASH THAT READS 'KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM'. STAYS ON UNTIL I TURN THE CAR OFF AND WHEN I START THE CAR THE NEXT TIME THE MESSAGE DOES NOT APPEAR BUT WHEN I START THE CAR THE NEXT TIME IT APPEARS AGAIN.

THE ERROR MESSAGE 'KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM' APPEARS ON MY DASHBOARD. I KEPT REALLY THE HONDA SERVIXE TECHNICIAN AND THEY TOLD ME THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. BUT IT DOESN'T GO AWAY. IT KEEPS COMING BACK.

WHEN I PUSH THE KEYLESS START/STOP BUTTON I GET AN ERROR THAT READS KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. AT FIRST THE ERROR ONLY APPEARED EVERY NOW AND THEN. NOW IT APPEARS ALMOST ALL THE TIME. I HAVE TO PUSH THE BUTTON, SOMETIMES 8 TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO START. NOW WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON TO SHUT OFF THE CAR, SOMETIMES IT WON'T SHUT OFF THE CAR. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PUSH THE BUTTON 2 OR 3 TIMES. THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. FROM THE BLOGS I READ, HONDA CHARGES UNREASONABLE AMOUNTS TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM AND OFTEN IT IS NOT RESOLVED. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN THIS PROBLEM RESOLVES. WHEN I GET IT TO START THE ERROR MESSAGE REMAINS WHILE DRIVING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE EMISSION SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE TO HIS DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE OXYGEN SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THE FUEL INJECTOR AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTOSPORT HONDA (1201 US-22, BRIDGEWATER TOWNSHIP, NJ 08807; (908) 722-5566) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THE ABS SENSOR, 4 WHEEL DRIVE, TRAILER STABILIZER WARNING LIGHT WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM WARNING MESSAGE AND ASSOCIATED WARNING LIGHT APPEARS ON DASHBOARD DISPLAY. OCCURS WHEN STARTING VEHICLE AND WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE

THE ' KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM' ALERT KEEPS APPEARING ON MY SCREEN WHEN I START THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS 90% OF THE TIME . BOTH KEYS HAVE NEW BATTERIES . NOTHING APPEARS TO BE WRONG. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS. SOMETIMES IF I START AND TURN IT OFF REPEATEDLY IT GOES AWAY.

ERROR MESSAGE 'KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM' KEEPS APPEARING AFTER NO CHANGE IN DRIVING, WEATHER, OR OTHER FACTORS. IT COMES ON AT START UP OR WHEN PARKED. MULTIPLE TIMES. AFTER HOLDING THE BRAKE DOWN FOR ABOUT A MINUTE THE MESSAGE DISAPPEARS BUT HAS SINCE REAPPEARED FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH SINCE FIRST OCCURRED. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PILOTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM: THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE. THE HONDA DEALER KEEPS SAYING IT'S THE BATTERY, REPLACES THE BATTERY, FIXES THE ISSUE FOR A DAY. THE NEXT DAY, THE KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM COMES BACK ON THE DASH BOARD. MUST NOT BE A KEY FOB BATTERY ISSUE.

THE KEYLESS START SYSTEM IS SHOWING A PROBLEM AND IS NEVER GONE, MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH HONDA VEHICLES

WHEN I TRY TO START THE VEHICLE BY PRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON WHILE SITTING IN THE VEHICLE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE KEY FOB IN MY HAND, AND THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. ALSO, AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, IF THE VEHICLE DOES START, I GET A MESSAGE 'KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM' AND IT OFTEN TIMES TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF.

TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. STATIONARY UNTIL TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER.

VEHICLE START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF PAUSING THE START STOP BUTTON. AFTER STARTING VEHICLE DISPLAYS 'KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM'. DISCUSSED WITH SEVERAL OTHER 2016 HONDA PILOT OWNERS WHO SHARED SAME ISSUES. THIS OWNER BELIEVES THIS IS A MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE SOLVED BY A RECALL.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR. THE START BUTTON IS FLAWED.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM NOTIFICATION USING EITHER FOB, EVEN AFTER BATTERY CHANGE. DEALER UNABLE TO DETECT OR REMEDY ISSUE. POSSIBLY IMPACTS WALK-AWAY AUTOLOCK.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY, SUNROOF EXPLODED. SMALL PIECES OF GLASS PIECES WENT FLYING EVERYWHERE.

THE PUSH BUTTON TO START THE BUTTON IS VERY UNRELIABLE. I HAVE YOU PUSH THE BUTTON DOZENS OF TIMES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO TURN ON OR OFF. I ALSO GET A WARNING ON THE DASH THAT SAYS, "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM".

WE HAVE A 2016 HONDA PILOT TOURING. SINCE EARLY 2018 WE HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE IDLE STOP SYSTEM. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN WE ARE DRIVING AND WE COME TO STOP IN TRAFFIC AT A LIGHT, THE IDLE STOP SYSTEM ENGAGES AND SHUTS THE ENGINE DOWN, LIKE IT IS SUPPOSE TO DO. ONCE THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN FOR TRAFFIC TO MOVE, I RELEASE THE BRAKE AND THE IDLE STOP SYSTEM TRIES TO ENGAGE AND TURN THE ENGINE ON AGAIN, BUT FAILS AND SHUTS THE WHOLE VEHICLE DOWN, INOPERABLE. THE LIGHTS FLASH AND I CANNOT TURN THE CAR ON AGAIN FOR AT LEAST 1 TO 2 MINUTES. VEHICLES ARE HONKING AND TRAFFIC IS BLARING ACROSS US, BUT I CANNOT TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON. AFTER 2 MINUTES, I CAN RESTART THE VEHICLE BY PUSHING THE BUTTON AND BRAKE AND THEN THE VEHICLE MOVES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WIL LOL HAPPEN, BUT IT HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFFIC OR A BUSY INTERSECTION. IN 2019, I TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD BATTERY. I REPLACED THE BATTERY IN MARCH 2019. THE SAME IDENTICAL PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED TO OCCUR MULTIPLE TIMES. NOVEMBER 10 TOOK THE SAME DEALER, HOWDY HONDA, AUSTIN,TX. THEY AGAIN TOLD ME THE BATTERY WAS READING BAD, BUT I HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AT ANOTHER SHOP AND AT THE PLACE OF PURCHASE, AND THE BATTERY WAS MORE THEN FINE AND TESTED GREAT IN AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER OF COURSE SAID THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE AND DID NOT SEE ANYTHING WHEN THEY TESTED THE SYSTEM. THEY JUST PAWNED IT OFF ON THE BATTERY, EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERY IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD AND TESTING JUST FINE. THERE IS NO WAY TO PERMANENTLY DISABLE THE SYSTEM AND IF I FORGET TO PUSH THE IDLE STOP DISENGAGE BUTTON EVERY TIME I START THE VEHICLE, I COULD END UP ON THE ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND SOME DRIVER DECIDES NOT TO PAY ATTENTION AND RUN INTO ME AND MY DISABLED VEHICLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SUCH A HAZARD AND HONDA DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM APPEARED WITH NO ASSOCIATED ISSUES SUCH AS STARTING THE VEHICLE. ERROR MESSAGE WAS INTERMITTENT FOR 2-3 MONTHS. ULTIMATELY IT BECAME A CONSTANT ERROR. MECHANIC PERFORMED DIAGNOSIS AND REPORTED THAT THIS ERROR SHOULD BE COUPLED WITH VEHICLE STARTING ISSUES. THE ALARM WAS RESET AND CAME BACK WITHIN 48 HOURS. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 58K MILES WHEN THE PROBLEM BEGAN. HONDA PILOT FORUMS INDICATE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2016 PILOT. OWNERS HAVE EXHAUSTED THE ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS (ELECTRONIC SWITCH REPLACEMENT, IGNITION MODULE REPLACEMENT WITH DEALERSHIPS). HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM DOES NOT ALWAYS GO AWAY. MY ERROR APPEARED WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE (STATIONARY POSITION).

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHT SHOWS UP, LOOKS LIKE THE PUSH TO START MODULE IS DEFECTIVE

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR AT 33000 MILES. ALL HONDA PILOT OWNERS ARE FACING THE SAME ISSUE AT 30K+ MILES.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM APPEARS WHEN I START THE CAR. THE CAR STILL STARTS (FOR NOW AT LEAST) BUT I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA PILOTS ESPECIALLY AROUND THE 33,000 TO 38,000 MILES. HONDA DOES NOT SEEM TO KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS.

THE PUSH BUTTON TO START THE BUTTON IS VERY UNRELIABLE. I HAVE YOU PUSH THE BUTTON DOZENS OF TIMES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO TURN ON OR OFF. I ALSO GET A WARNING ON THE DASH THAT SAYS, "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM"

WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE HAS A HESITATIONIN TO IT. MY FOOT REMAINS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND STILL HAS THE HESITATION OR JERKING MOTION, WHICH CAN BE FELT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WE HAD THE OIL CHANGED THE WEEK BEFORE WE LEFT TO GO OUT OF STATE. IT HAS CONTINUED ON SINCE THEN.

A KNOWN TSB# 18-025 (FUEL INJECTOR PROBLEM) WAS OUTSIDE OUR WARRANTY AND HONDA WOULD NOT REPLACE IT. DUE TO THE FUEL INJECTOR ISSUE THE VEHICLE BURNS EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF GASOLINE PER TANK. I HAVE RECORDED APPROXIMATELY 160 MILES PER TANK OF FUEL. IN ADDITION TO THROWING EMISSIONS RELATED CHECK ENGINE CODES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK FORWARD. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED HE CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO HIS DESTINATION. THE CONTACT CALLED LOCAL DEALER NORM REEVES HONDA SUPERSTORE CERRITOS LOCATED AT 18500 STUDEBAKER RD, CERRITOS, CA 90703, (562) 345-9100 AND MADE THE DEALER AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 73,000.

MY CAR DIED ON ME AT A STOP SIGN WITH THE IDLE START/STOP FEATURE WITH 50K MILES ON IT ON 12/3/2019. (ONE WEEK PRIOR, THE 'EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM' POPPED UP.) I CAME TO A STOP AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. THE IDLE START/STOP KICKED IN. WHEN I WENT TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO HIT THE GAS, MY PILOT COMPLETELY DIED ON ME. IT WOULDN'T RESTART. MY DASH LOOKED LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT LIGHTS/WARNINGS POPPING UP EVERY TIME I WOULD TRY TO START IT. MY FRIEND CAME TO JUMP IT & IT WOULD NOT START. AFTER OVER 2.5 HOURS BLOCKING TRAFFIC & 2 POLICE OFFICERS HAVING TO DIRECT TRAFFIC, WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK, I FINALLY GOT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. FIRST DAY THEY SAID THEY HAD NO CLUE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. 2ND DAY THEY CALLED & SAID THE PROBLEM WAS JUST A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE IDLE START/STOP. THEY SAID IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE & THERE IS NO RECALL & THEY ARE FIXING THEM ONLY AS THE ISSUE PRESENTS ITSELF. FORWARD TO 2/21/2020. 'EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM' POPS UP AGAIN. I DROP MY PILOT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN ON 2/24/2020. THIS TIME THEY SAY ALL MY FUEL INJECTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE NEXT DAY THEY CALL ME AGAIN TO SAY WHEN THEY GOT IN THERE, MY SEALS WERE BAD & THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THOSE TOO. AFTER 3 DAYS, I GOT MY PILOT BACK. EVER SINCE I HAVE HAD IT BACK, MY IDLE START/STOP HAS ACTED LIKE IT WASN'T GOING TO COME BACK ON EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT & I TRY TO REMEMBER TO TURN IT OFF WHEN I GET IN MY CAR. I GO FROM THE BRAKE TO THE GAS & IT DINGS & THEN 'COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM' POPS UP & THEN GOES AWAY. 10/31/2020 DIED ON ME STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AGAIN WITH THE IDLE START/STOP FEATURE ON. I HAD TO CALL 911 & HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN.

SINCE BUYING THIS VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION AND COMPUTER MODULE HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE DUE TO SIMILAR PROBLEM. WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING AROUND A CORNER ON A CITY BLOCK SO TURNING LEFT AT 15 MILES PER HOUR THE TRANSMISSION SUFFERED A FAILURE AND ERROR MESSAGE AND ACCELERATED FORCING HIM OFF THE ROAD. DEALER HAS DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED WHILE ACCELERATING, WITHOUT WARNING. POHANKA HONDA OF FREDERICKSBURG (60 S GATEWAY DR, FREDERICKSBURG, VA 22406) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

PART 35881-TG7-702 - THE DASHBOARD START BUTTON - IS DEFECTIVE AND NO LONGER WORKING CONSISTENTLY AT 48,000 MILES. I HAVE TO HIT THE START BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE CAR TO START AND ONCE IT STARTS I OFTEN GET AN ERROR MESSAGE ""KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM - IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART, NOT A REPAIR I HAVE TO PAY FOR.

HONDA PILOT AWD 2016 HAS RPM VARIATION / HESITATION DURING NORMAL DRIVING FROM REV RANGE 1500 TO 2500RPM. IT IS A CONTINUAL HESITATION OR SPLUTTERING OF REVS. IF ACCELERARTING EXTREMELY HARD IT IS NOT AS EVIDENT BUT IS ALWAYS THERE. APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE, CAR HAS NO OTHER ISSUES, SERVICED PROFESSIONALLY AS NEEDED/SCHEDULED. HORRIBLE COMFORT/ SAFETY ISSUE - NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED HAS 75K MILES, HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR LAST 10K DOESNT SEEM TO DO IT UNDER NO LOAD (NEUTRAL) BUT ALWAYS UNDER NORMAL DRIVING. ECO MODE ON OR OFF DOESNT MATTER - NO DIFFERENCE

AT A STOP LIGHT MY AUTO IDLE-OFF IS ENGAGED (ENGINE GOES OFF), BUT WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE DOES NOT RESTART AND ENGINE GOES INTO NEUTRAL. I NEEDED TO TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AS CARS ARE EXPECTING ME TO MOVE. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED!

THE KEY FOB HAS TROUBLE STARTING CAR. DISPLAY HAS MESSAGE' KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR'. CAR HAS LESS THAN 35K MILES.

THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS A 'KEYLESS START SYSTEM' ISSUE. MESSAGE IS ON DASHBOARD CONSTANTLY. LOOKING AT COMPLAINT BOARDS FOR 2016 HONDA PILOT, I'M SHOCKED THIS ISN'T A RECALL. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. AND A WORRY THAT CAR WILL SUDDENLY STOP WHILE ON HIGHWAY. ALSO THE CAR HAS A CONSTANT 'REV, REV, REV' PULLING AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING. ALWAYS AN ISSUE WHEN BEHIND SOMEONE AND YOU WORRY IT WILL REV AND JUMP AHEAD AND HIT CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT BUT STILL NOT FIXED. AGAIN LOOKING AT BOARDS, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM IS SHOWING IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I NOTICED LOTS OF HONDA PILOT OWNER ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES. I AM ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE BUT I AM AFRAID IT MAY HAVE TO DO WITH THE ENGINE BEING DISABLED SO I WILL PARK IT UNTIL THERE IS A SOLUTION. THIS HAS TO BE A DEFECT.

MY CAR WILL DIE AFTER BEING STOPPED (EX. AT A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN) AND WILL NOT RESTART RIGHT AWAY. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T DIE COMPLETELY. WHEN IT DOES YOU ARE UNABLE TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK OR ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHERE WE WERE STOPPED AT A RED-LIGHT AND THE CAR DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. A CAR BEHIND US WAS APPROACHING THE LIGHT AND SAW THAT IT WAS GREEN, QUICKLY CAME UP BEHIND US HONKING THEIR HORN AND LUCKY WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE OTHER LANE TO AVOID HITTING US. THIS SEAMS TO HAPPEN WHEN WE FORGET TO TURN OFF THE AUTO IDLE STOP. THIS IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO PUSH EVERYONE YOU START THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THEY PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION AND CHANGED THE TIMING BELT. PREVIOUSLY I HAD THE CARS FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED. AFTER ALL THIS WORK THE CAR IS STILL DYING AND IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BUT DON'T KNOW OF A FIX YET.

AFTER AUTOMATIC IDLE ENGINE STOP/START ENGAGES AND SHUT OFF VEHICLE AT STOP LIGHT, VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT RESTART AUTOMATICALLY. RESULTS IN BEING STOPPED AND STALLED OUT IN TRAFFIC FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER WHICH IT WILL RESTART VIA MANUAL PROCESS.

PURCHASED A 2016 PILOT EX-L CERTIFIED USED WITH 8K. WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKES, THEY WOULD GO PRETTY FAR DOWN BEFORE ENGAGING. IF I LET UP ON THE PEDAL AND PRESS AGAIN, THEY IMMEDIATELY GRAB LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN SEVERAL TIMES, BRAKES BLED AND FLUSHED, STILL THE SAME. I WAS INFORMED THAT HONDA SAYS THE DISTANCE OF BRAKE PEDAL PRESSING DOWN IS 2" IS NORMAL. I ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE SCREEN GOING OUT, AND THE DRIVER SIDE VENT WOULDN'T STAY UP, AND THE A/C WASN'T COOLING PROPERTY. ALSO THE SYSTEM WONT CONNECT TO MY PHONE RANDOMLY. I NOW HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. MAKES A RATTLING NOISE WHILE DRIVING/COASTING AT ANY SPEED. HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BUMPER AND HOOD NOISE. AFTER PAYING FOR THAT, I STILL HAVE THE NOISE. THE RPMS JUMPS FROM UNDER 2 TO JUST ABOVE TWO, THEN DOWN AGAIN. WHEN THE RPMS DO THIS THE NOISE HAPPENS AND ALSO THE ECONO MODE TURNS OFF TO WHITE, THEN GREEN AGAIN. NOW IT FEELS LIKE WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TRANSMISSION FEELS AS IFF IT IS TRYING TO GO INTO GEAR, SLIPPING. NOW WHEN DRIVING AND TRYING TO PASS, IT SEEMS TO SLIP. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE! COME ON HONDA PLEASE FIX THE ISSUES.

STARTED CAR ONE MORNING AND KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR HAS POPPED UP AND HAS STAYED ON. WENT OFF FOR ONE DAY AND THEN CAME ON NEXT DAY.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR. THIS ERROR MESSAGE POPS UP ON THE SCREEN FOR WEEKS AT A TIME AND THE DISAPPEARS FOR AWHILE ONLY TO REAPPEAR. SO FAR I HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM ACTUALLY STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS THE SWITCH ASSEMBLY, ENGINE START & STOP - HONDA (35881-TG7-A03). THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE HONDA PILOT PROBLEM FORUMS, YET HONDA DOES NOT RECALL THE VEHICLES TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD THE DEALERS CHARGE ~ $150 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND $300-400 TO REPLACE THE UNIT. I WATCHED A VIDEO OF A HANDYMAN REPLACE THE UNIT IN 7 MINUTES AND HE PAID ONLY $70 FOR THE PART. THIS IS CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR NY HONDA AND ITS DEALERS IN MY OPINION. I WILL JUST FIX IT MYSELF, BUT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. YOUTUBE VIDEO OF PROBLEM AND REPAIR.

FEYFOB COMMUNICATION ISSUE. PROVIDES WARNING THAT SYSTEMS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. PURCHASED 2016 PILOT NEW FROM LOCAL DEALER. NO OTHER MAJOR ISSUES

BOUGHT MY HONDA IN FEBRUARY A MONTH LATER A EMISSION SYSTEM STARTED POPPING UP I HAVE REPLACED ALL 4 SENSORS MAF MAP SENSORS STILL ISNT FIXED THEY ARE TELLING ME IT'S THE FUEL INJECTORS AND I HAVE NO WARRANTY SAID IT'S A HONDA THING AND NEEDS RECALLED CAN CAUSE POOR DRIVING HONDA REALLY NEEDS TO FIX IT AND THE AWD LIGHT POPS UP AND GOES AWAY AND COMES BACK NO MECHANICS CAN FIGURE THAT OUT

THE CAR IS SHOWING "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" SIGN WHEN I JUST TURN ON THE CAR THESE DAYS.

I'VE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH MY 2016 HONDA PILOT IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. I CURRENTLY HAVE 110K MILES ON MY VEHICLE BUT MY PROBLEMS BEGAN AT AROUND 80K. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SEVERAL OTHER LIGHTS ILLUMINATE CONSTANTLY. AT FIRST THEY WOULD LIGHT UP AND GO AWAY. BROUGHT IT TO SERVICE. THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND THEY CHANGE MY SPARK PLUGS AND TOLD ME TO DRIVE MY CAR ON AT LEAST A HALF TANK OF GAS. PROBLEM CONTINUED AND THEN MY CAR STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND IDLING ROUGHER. I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY FUEL INJECTORS. THAT WAS TAKEN CARE AND I STILL HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES ALONG WITH EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM WARMING AND MY CAR STILL RUNS ROUGH AND HAS TROUBLE ACCELERATING. SONG WITH ALL OF THESE ISSUES I'VE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE MY IGNITION AND KEY FOB AND MY AUTO START IS NOT WORKING. I HAVE OVER A100K ON THE CAR WHICH I UNDERSTAND CAN CAUSE WEAR AND TEAR BUT ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS FAR EXCEED THE DEFINITION OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL ON ANYTHING AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO REMEDY THESE SITUATIONS. MY CAR IS AT SERVICE YET AGAIN TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING IT TO RUN SO ROUGH. ANY FEEDBACK WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

THE FUEL INJECTORS FAILED JUST BEFORE 70,000 MILES ON MY 2016 PILOT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1000. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS IS A RIDICULOUSLY COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THE 2016 PILOT; SO COMMON THAT I CANNOT BELIEVE HONDA HASN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE FUEL INJECTORS SHOULD NOT BE FAILING...PERIOD. I'M DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA AND DONE WITH HONDA AFTER THIS CAR.

I AM GETTING A KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR, NOBODY KNOWS WHY OR CAN FIX IT WITH THE SEVERAL MEASURES THEY HAVE TRIED.

I AND SEVERAL OTHER 2016 HONDA PILOT OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE CODE ABOUT THE AUTO START/STOP FUNCTION HAVING A PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY BLAMED THE ISSUE ON "CRITTERS," AS IN RODENTS/SQUIRRELS. I ASSURE YOU THIS IS NOT THE CASE! THE LIGHT APPEARED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND IT ALSO AFFECTED MY AUTO LOCK FEATURE ON THE VEHICLE. THIS MALFUNCTION IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE 2016 PILOT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULD TROUBLESHOOT WHERE THE MALFUNCTION IS BUT IT WOULD COST ME, STARTING AT $150. THE MECHANIC RESET THE CODE (FOR $65) AND IT HAS NOT SHOWN UP IN THE PAST WEEK SINCE I TOOK IT IN. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS ISSUE AND HONDA SHOULD MAKE THIS A RECALL. THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR SAFETY ISSUE.

HONDA PILOT EX-L JERKS AND ENGINE SLOWS ON ACCELERATION, ROUGH SHIFTING BETWEEN SPEEDS ALWAYS ON INCLINE AND SOMETIMES ON FREEWAY AND AROUND TOWN. OVERHEATS WHILE WAITING IN TRAFFIC, MAKES LOUD NOISE. MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM HAVE BEEN FOUND. THE HONDA SERVICE DEPT. CLAIMS NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE MODEL. IT IS GROWING WORSE AND HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY ALSO. I'M CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM MESSAGE COMES ON AS SOON AS I START THE CAR

FAULTY START/STOP SWITCH-BASIC INTERNET SEARCH REFLECTS THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH 2016 HONDA PILOTS. THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHEN THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED AND MAY NOT RESTART DUE TO FAULTY SWITCH. WE HAD TO REPLACE SWITCH AT A COST OF $299.13. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IN STRONG WINDS, OR PASSING LARGER VEHICLES OR SEMIS, THE HOOD FLEXES AS IF IT IS GOING TO UNLATCH AND FLY OFF THE CAR. THIS IS NOT A MINOR FLEX, THE HOOD CAN BOUNCE 2-3 INCHES. IT IS EXTREMELY UNNERVING AND AFTER TIME, THE LATCH ON THE HOOD WILL FATIGUE AND EVENTUALLY BREAK. IT IS BECOMING LOOSE. THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO RECALLS BY HONDA. THIS IS A SERIOUS OVERSIGHT. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE TRIED TO FIX IT, BUT NEVER WITH SUCCESS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. THANK YOU.

THE KEYLESS IGNITION SWITCH (PN: 35881-TG7-A03) FAILED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT START, THE DEALER (KEENAN HONDA, DOYLESTOWN, PA) CHARGED US $127.74 FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART (RETAIL IS $68.20) AND ANOTHER $149.00 FOR LABOR (SHOULD ONLY HAVE TAKEN 10 MIN PER YOUTUBE).

ERROR ' KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM'. IT HAS 57K MILES.

AFTER 4 YEARS AND 53,000 MILES, WE'RE NOW GETTING A KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR WHILE SHUTTING OFF OR TURNING ON THE VEHICLE WHILE STOPPED. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS GENERATION PILOT AND RIDGELINE VEHICLES, ACCORDING TO VEHICLE OWNERS AT PILOTEERS.ORG, THE PROBLEM USUALLY IS A FAILING PUSH-TO-START BUTTON. SO FAR, OUR VEHICLE STARTS, BUT THE WALK-AWAY LOCKING SYSTEM NO LONGER WORKS. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SECURITY SYSTEM ALARMS, DASHBOARD MALFUNCTION, AND A FAILURE TO START.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED ALONG WITH AWD, KEYLESS START SYSTEM, EMISSIONS SYSTEM, UPHILL START, TRAILER ASSISTANCE, ETC. HAVE HAD TWO ENGINE COILS REPLACED AND A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. THE LIGHTS GO OFF FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN RETURN. HAVE SPENT $250 IN DIAGNOSTICS AND NOTHING IS FIXED. REPLACED BATTERIES IN BOTH KEY FOBS. I WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE START/STOP BUTTON FOR $375. DEALERSHIP ALSO RECOMMENDED REPLACING FUEL INJECTORS FOR $1600.NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL FIX ANY OF THE ISSUES.

THE CAR ENGINE/BATTERY SHUTS OFF AT STOP LIGHTS AND RED LIGHTS WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BREAK PEDAL. THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURRED A YEAR AGO. HONDA INITIALLY TOLD US THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE AND UNTIL WE PRESSED ABOUT FINDING A KNOWN ISSUE REPORTED ONLINE THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. EVENTUALLY A REGIONAL SERVICE REP WAS INVOLVED WHO SAID THE ISSUE WAS KNOWN AND WAS WITH THE BATTERY. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND FOR ONE YEAR HAD BEEN OKAY UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN SAME ISSUE BEGAN OCCURRING AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE TURNING OFF. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. I AM NOW WAITING ON A REPEAT SERVICE VISIT ON OCTOBER 8, 2020 TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE THIS YEAR.

WHEN STOPPED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET, THE AUTOMATIC STOP-IDLE FUNCTION DID NOT RESTART AND MY CAR STALLED WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED AT ATTEMPTS TO RESTART VEHICLE. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES, CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE, AS I HAD 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL. WE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN REAR ENDED AS WE WERE BLOCKING TRAFFIC. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR A REPAIR. AT THIS POINT, I QUESTION THE REPAIR, AS MY CAR HAS COME CLOSE TO STALLING AGAIN 3 TIMES SINCE THIS OCCURRENCE.

MY PILOT HAS A MESSAGE THAT READS "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM." I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY IN THE PHONE AND REPLACED THE PUSH BUTTON START ASSEMBLY. NOTHING HAS REMOVED THE MESSAGE. I HAVE SEARCHED HONDA PILOT FORUMS AND FOUND HUNDREDS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND THAT NO DEALERSHIP HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. MOST HAVE SPENT $500 + AT DEALERSHIPS WITH NO RESULTS.MY MESSAGE STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. HONDA SHOULD FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG AND RECALL ON EFFECTED CARS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

THE CAR IS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD AND THE AC STOPPED WORKING WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED THEY SAID THE WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER IT SO I WENT TO A MECHANIC TO GET IT FIXED HE SAID HE'S GOTTEN MULTIPLE CIVICS AND PILOTS 2016 AND NEWER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FAULTY AC SYSTEM

I'VE BEEN HAVING A WARNING LIGHT ISSUE BEING ENGINE START KEY ISSUE. I REPLACED KEY FOB BATTERY AND WARNING LIGHT DISAPPEARED FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS AND THEN IT REAPPEARED. I SEE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE 2016 PILOT BACK HOME ONE AFTERNOON(8/15/2019) AND SHE SAW THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHT CAME ON. THE MILES ARE EXACTLY 52500(3.5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP). I DROVE THE PILOT TO THE HONDA DEALER NEXT DAY MORNING AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE FUEL INJECTORS HAVE GONE BAD AND THE COST IS AROUND $1239.48 TO REPLACE THE FUEL INJECTORS. AS WE NEED TO HAVE THE PILOT ALL THE TIME FOR OUR FAMILY FOR OUR DAILY NEEDS, I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO TALK TO HONDA AND EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. SO, I PAID THE SAID AMOUNT AND GOT IT REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. THEN I CONTACTED HONDA BY EMAIL(CASE #09801917) TO REIMBURSE ME AND THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT SAID I'M OUT OF WARRANTY AND HONDA CAN'T HELP ME IN ANY WAY. I TOLD THEM THAT FUEL INJECTORS ARE LIKE THE HEART OF A VEHICLE, AND THEY SHOULD NOT FAIL SO EARLY IN A CAR'S LIFE AND THAT THEY SHOULD RUN FOR LIFE OF THE CAR. BUT STILL THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE INSISTED THAT MY 2016 PILOT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND HONDA CAN'T REIMBURSE ME. I'VE ALL THE RECEIPTS OF THE WORK DONE AND CAN PROVIDE UPON REQUEST

WAS AT A LIGHT ELECTRONICA STOP AND GOAL CONTROL KICKED IN THE CAR WENT OFF WHEN I WENT TO HIT THE EXCELERATOR TO GO THE CAR DID NOT RESTART JUST THE ELECTRONICA STAYED ON SHUT THE CAR TOTALLY OFF TRY TO RESTART IT WOULD NOT START TURN THE CAR OFF AGAIN TRIED TO RESTART IT THE CAR STARTED AND DROVE FINE

SUDDENLY STARTED DISPLAYING KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. USED SPARE KEY AND STOPES DOING IT FOR A DAY AND THEN STARTED DOING IT TOO.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR LOW SPEEDS THERE IS A NOTICEABLE HESITATION BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. IT IS ALMOST AS IF THE VEHICLE IS HUNTING FOR THE PROPER GEAR AND ENGINE RPM BEFORE BEGINNING TO MOVE. ON OCCASION IT WILL ALSO SURGE FORWARD ONCE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES. IT IS QUITE UNSAFE WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ESPECIALLY ACROSS TRAFFIC.THIS HAS BEEN AN OCCURRENCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. WE THOUGHT MAYBE IT HAD TO DO WITH THE "ECO" MODE BUT HAVE DETERMINED IT HAPPENS WITH OR WITH OUT THIS MODE ON. WE HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER WE PURCHASED FROM AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NO RESOLUTION FROM HONDA.

THE KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE DEALERSHIP FINDS NO CODES TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE AUTO ENGINE SHUTOFF TO CONSERVE GAS WHEN THE BAKE IS DEPRESSED WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF THE CAR AND I AM NOT ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIME FROM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPING IN TRAFFIC TO BEING IN THE CITY STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT. IT CAN TAKE UP TO A MINUTE OR MORE TO GET THE CAR TO START AGAIN. THE ONLY WAY TO DISABLE THIS FROM HAPPENING IS TO MANUALLY SHUT OFF THIS FEATURE EVERY TIME I START THE VEHICLE.

DURING DRIVING THE VEHICLE, EMISSIONS SYSTEM FAILURE WARNING CAME ON THE DISPLAY ON SEPT 1. VEHICLE WAS DRIVING OK, CALLED DEALER COULD GET APPOINTMENT FOR 9/11/2020. DURING DRIVING MY KID TO PRACTICE, THE SIGN CAME ON AGAIN, AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SPUTTER VIOLENTLY. WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ACTIVE TRAFFIC AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC.

MY 2016 HONDA PILOT WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD WHEN I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT. WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR BEGAN ACTING STRANGE AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE IMMEDIATELY.THE ENGINE KEPT HESITATING AND SHAKING WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS, ALMOST CAUSING SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ALL CAME ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I HAD TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST $125 AND THEY SAID I NEEDED NEW FUEL INJECTORS ON MY ALMOST NEW CAR.THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $2000 OUT OF POCKET.I COULDNT AFFORD IT. CALLED HONDA CORPORATE, THEY ALSO REFUSED TO HELP.SO I TOOK IT TO A FRIEND MECHANIC WHO COULDNT BELIEVE I NEEDED NEW FUEL INJECTORS WHEN I ONLY HAD 60K MILES ON THE CAR. HE REPLACED ALL THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THE CAR WORKED FOR A WHILE. HOWEVER, AFTER DRIVING ANOTHER 40K MILES I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR AND IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE DUE TO NEW DIRECT INJECTION TECHNOLOGY THAT WAS INSTALLED IN THE PILOTS AND HONDA IS REFUSING TO DO A RECALL OR FIX THE ISSUE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE MY FUEL INJECTORS EVERY 40K MILES. I STILL OWE MONEY ON THE CAR AND HAVE 2 MORE YEARS LEFT TO PAY. I AM STUCK WITH THIS HORRIBLE UNSAFE VEHICLE UNTIL THEN.I NEED IT TO GET TO WORK. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE FROM HONDA AGAIN. I HAVE SUBMITTED A COPY OF THE INVOICE FROM THE SECOND MECHANIC DIAGNOSTIC I WENT TO AFTER I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. I AM STILL SEARCHING FOR THE FIRST HONDA MECHANIC DIAGNOSTIC INVOICE.

THE CAR STALL DIDN'T START AFTER THE IDLE START AND NOW I HAVE KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM

MY TIMING BELT FAILED AT UNDER 80K MILE AND AT LESS THAN 4 YEARS OLD. I WAS DRIVING AND COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AS MY CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE BELT THEN DESTROYED MY ENTIRE ENGINE.

EMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHT CAME ON AT 36,942 MILES. I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,500. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AT 942 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. EMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND SUDDENLY EVER SINGLE WARNING LIGHT WENT ON, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. I WAS TOLD I HAD A TIMING BELT FAILURE AND THAT MY ENGINE THREW PISTONS AND WAS DESTROYED. THIS VEHICLE HAD 78K AND HAD EVERY OIL CHANGE REQUIRED.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR COMES ON AND OFF SINCE ABOUT 50,000 MILES. I OFTEN HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES TO START THE VEHICLE EVEN WITH A NEW BATTERY. TRANSMISSION ISSUES OFTEN AS WE ARE DRIVING ALONG THERE IS A BUMPINESS WHETHER ACCELERATING OR JUST DRIVING ALONG. THIS STARTED AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES

BEGINNING IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019, THE PILOT HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AT LEAST 8 TIMES WHEN THE AUTO START/STOP FEATURE IS ON. WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN IS THE ENGINE AUTO SHUTS OFF BUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND ALL OTHER SYSTEMS STAY ACTIVE. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM HAS SHUT DOWN AND WE NEED TO RESTART THE PILOT. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS AT A STOP LIGHT BUT THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WHEN MY WIFE WAS TURNING LEFT OUT OF STOP LIGHT AND THERE WAS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG. OTHER IN THE HONDA PILOTEERS AUTO FORUM HAVE ALSO HAD THE SAME ISSUE BASED ON MY RESEARCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING AT 75 MPH, AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE RPMS DROPPED TO 35 MPH AND THE ENGINE REVVED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS RELEASED, THE VEHICLE WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY DROP IN SPEED. NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND IT RESUMED TO NORMAL. THE CONTACT MENTIONED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED THE FIRST TIME, ALL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF SUPERSTITION SPRINGS, 6229 E AUTO PARK DR, MESA, AZ 85206, AND WAS DIAGNOSED BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

KEYLESS START ENTRY SYSTEM ERROR HAS GONE INTERMITTENTLY FOR A YEAR OR SO ON MY 2016 HONDA PILOT. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS IN HONDA ONLINE DISCUSSION BOARDS. DOES NOT APPEAR TO AFFECT PERFORMANCE YET, BUT IS FRIGHTENING TO THINK CAR MAY NOT START OR MAY QUIT RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING. ERROR LIGHT IS ON WHEN CAR IS PARKED OR RUNNING.

THE TRANSMISSION HAS SUBTLE BUT CONCERNING JERKING BETWEEN 10-30MPH, ESPECIALLY WHILE ACCELERATING. THIS CAN BE GETTING ON THE FREEWAY, DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE STREET OR GOING UP HILLS. I NOTICED IT IS WORSE WHEN GOING UP A SLOPED SURFACE. UPON HAVING A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST DISMANTLE AND ANALYZE, I WAS INFORMED THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND OTHER ELEMENTS OF THE TRANS WERE FAILING AND FALLING APART. AT UNUSUALLY LOW MILEAGE, THE TRANSMISSION WAS HEATING UP VERY HIGH BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE, DARKENING THE FLUID AND CARRYING ELEMENTS OF THE FAILING CONVERTER ETC INTO OTHER PARTS OF THE TRANSMISSION. THIS REQUIRES A FULL TRANS REBUILD WHICH COSTS RANGE FROM 4-7K DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU TAKE IT. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT A BASIC MECHANIC MAY MISS, BUT OWNERS WILL NOTICE FOR THIS YEAR/MODEL OVER THE LONG TERM. POTENTIAL DANGERS REPORTED ARE VERY CONCERNING, SO WE CHOSE TO HAVE THE TRANS FULLY REBUILT FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILY. BASED OFF MY RESEARCH, HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS EXIST ONLINE FOR THIS YEAR/MODEL DESCRIBING THE SAME EXACT EXPERIENCE. HONDA SHOULD BE RECALLING THEIR TRANSMISSION FOR THE 2016 HONDA PILOT.

VEHICLE STALLS AND SHUTS DOWN WHEN START/STOP SYSTEM IS ENGAGED. WHEN STOPPED IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN, STALLED COMPLETELY, HAVING TO TURN IT OFF AND ON. TURNING IT OFF IS WAS NOT EASY AS THE START BUTTON WAS NOT WORKING. IT LEFT ME IN A VERY PRECARIOUS SITUATION WITH INCOMING TRAFFIC.

ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND SAYS EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM. KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. EVERYTHING WORKS AND RUNS FINE BUT THESE LIGHTS SAY ON MY DASH. THEREFORE IT IS AN ISSUE FOR ME TO RENEW MY INSPECTION STICKER. I DON'T FEEL LIKE THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE OTHER THAN THESE LIGHTS STAYING ON. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR LIKE THIS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.

I NOTICED THE CAR STARTED JERKING BETWEEN 30-50 MPH. THE RPM'S WOULD ALSO PULSE AT THE SAME TIME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND OF COURSE THE WARRANTY WAS OUT. THEY 'RECOMMEND A TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSH AND THE INTAKE NEEDED CLEANING.' SUPPOSEDLY THE INTAKE IS DIGITAL AND IT AFFECTS THE TRANSMISSION. THEY FOUND THE TRANSMISSION OIL WAS BURNT DUE TO HIGH TRANSMISSION TEMP. ALL OF THIS WAS DONE ON MARCH 10 2020. AUGUST 17 2020 I TOOK IT BACK TO HONDA WITH WORSE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS TIME WHEN I WOULD PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE IT WOULD JERK INTO GEAR. MY WIFE SAYS WHILE DRIVING IT JERKS HARD AT RANDOM TIMES. THIS TIME THEY RECOMMEND ANOTHER TRANSMISSION FLUSH BECAUSE 1/3 OF THE OIL WAS STILL BAD. APPARENTLY AFTER READING ON THIS SITE, THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2016 HONDA PILOT TRANSMISSIONS. IS IT GOING TO TAKE A COUPLE OF DEATHS BEFORE HONDA ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY?

ALERT SHOWING KEYLESS REMOTE PROBLEM. CAR HAS TROUBLE STARTING. NO WAY FOR A MANUAL OVERRIDE. YOU MAY BE STUCK WHEREVER YOU ARE.

ENGINE AUTO IDLE FEATURE HAS REPEATEDLY MALFUNCTIONED. VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES NOT RESTART FROM THE IDLE POSITION. WE HAVE REPEATEDLY TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR FIX THE ISSUE SINCE IT OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. THESE TYPES OF ISSUES ARE WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE PILOTEERS WEB FORUM.

ON AUGUST 9, 2020, I WAS DRIVING, AT 75, WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, I NEEDED EXTRA SPEED TO PASS A VEHICLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE, I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL STILL ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A POWER DOWN MODE WITH THE DASHBOARD FLASHING CODES AND THEN WENT BLANK. THE ENGINE DOWNSHIFTED AND THE ENGINE SPEED INCREASED TO 7,000 RPM. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, AT 75 MPH, AND RESTARTED WITH THE DASHBOARD LIGHTING UP AGAIN. AFTER PANICKING, TRIED TO GIVE THE CAR GAS AND IT WOULD NOT GO. NOW AT 65 MPH, I PULLED OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE AND COASTED DOWN TO 40 MPH AND THE CAR STARTED HAVING POWER AGAIN. WE PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF THE CAR. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND AN "EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM" WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR HAS 56,217 MILES ON IT. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THIS PROBLEM. THE DASHBOARD WARNING SYSTEM DISPLAYED THE FOLLOWING CODES, "EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM"; "ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM PROBLEM"; "TRANSMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM" AND THE "D" DRIVE SYMBOL WAS FLASHING ON & OFF. AN EARLIER INCIDENT, MAY 6, 2020, HAPPENED TO MY WIFE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IN LOCAL TRAFFIC. DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE ENGINE SPEED INCREASED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. SHE ALSO TRIED TO GIVE MORE GAS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. SHE STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SHUT OFF THE CAR. SHE RESTARTED THE CAR AND PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY. SHE CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR INTO THE SERVICE CENTER. THEY TOOK THE CAR AND DROVE IT AROUND THE BUILDING AND SAID THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER FOR CODES, BUT NONE WHERE PRESENT. AT THIS TIME THE CAR ONLY HAD 55,000 TO 56,000 MILES. THEY TOLD HER NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS TO TAKE A VIDEO SO THEY CAN SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO THE CAR. TAKE A VIDEO WHILE DRIVING A CAR THAT IS SHUTTING DOWN IS THEIR SUGGESTION....

TL* THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER DAUGHTER'S PUSH START FEATURE FAILED TO OPERATE AS NEEDED WHEN DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IN A SERVICE REPORT, IT WAS STATED THAT THE KEY IMMOBILIZER CODE WOULD APPEAR ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LEJEUNE HONDA CARS (2221 N MARINE BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, NC 28546) WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE TIRE PRESSURE MOTORING SYSTEM (TPMS) CONTROL UNIT, WHICH CAUSED HER FAILURE. SHE DECLINED TO HAVE THE PART REPAIRED AFTER GIVEN AN ESTIMATE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT CERTAIN IF HER DAUGHTER HAD REACHED OUT TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,324.*DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 TO 30 MPH, THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE VEHICLE STARTED JERKING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DROVE MUCH SMOOTHER ONCE THE SPEED EXCEEDED 40 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT RESEARCH SHOWED THAT DUE TO A CODING ERROR, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED AND CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO NOT PERFORM AS NEEDED IN REGULATING THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HUGHES HONDA (2260 MOODY RD, WARNER ROBINS, GA 31088, (478)449-3939) AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS CHANGED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

WHEN I START MY CAR, I GET "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" ERROR ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS ERROR COMES SOMETIMES AND THEN GOES AWAY FOR DAYS AND THEN COMES BACK. SHOWED IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I SEE LOT OF PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ERROR ON HONDA FORUMS. THE CAR FUNCTIONS PROPERLY OTHERWISE BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS AND IF THERE IS ANY MAJOR PROBLEM WITH IT.

MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH WHEN CAR WAS TURNED ON. ENGINE IS RUNNING ROUGH AND OCCASIONAL MISFIRING, ESPECIALLY AROUND 30-40 MPH. MECHANIC TELLS ME FUEL INJECTORS ARE CLOGGED, AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO CATALYTIC CONVERTER. 72K MILES ON CAR SO PAST IT'S WARRANTY. SERVICE BULLETIN 18-025 ISSUED BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE BEING CAUSED BY FAULTY FUEL INJECTORS WITH INTENSE PSI WHICH IS CAUSING METAL PARTICLES TO CONTAMINATE FUEL. THIS SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF NOT REPAIRED AND HONDA SHOULD HAVE THE BURDEN OF PAYING, NOT THE CONSUMER.

INTERMITTENTLY RECEIVE DASH ERROR CODE "'KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ' " IT COMES AND GOES. ALSO VEHICLE STRUGGLES TO RESTART WHEN THE A ENGINE IDLE ENGAGES AT A STOP LIGHT. THIS HAS CREATED SAFETY ISSUES IN THE WINTER WHEN I CAN'T GO AT A GREEN LIGHT OR OTHERS AREN'T PAYING ATTENTION AND MY VEHICLE WON'T START. THERE IS NO WAY TO FULLY DEACTIVATE THIS FEATURE EXCEPT TO SHUT IT OFF AFTER TURNING IN CAR EVERY TIME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SERIOUSLY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

REPEATED MESSAGE FOR KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. VECHICLE TURNED OFF AT INTERSECTION WHILE IN DRIVE,, DRIVER REQUIRED TO PUT IN PARK TURN VECHILE OFF THEN ON AGAIN. WHILE DOING RESEARCH THIS HAPPENS TO A LOT OF OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. EVEN THOUGH SEVERAL PEOPLE GOT IT SUPPOSIDLY FIXED, PROBLEM AND ERROR MESSAGE PERSISTED.

WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THE TRANSMISSION CHANGES FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL TO PARK AND SOMETIMES DIES. CAR WON'T RESTART WHEN FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS ON DISPLAY SCREEN OR ANY OTHER WAY EXCEPT SITTING AND TRYING TO START IT OVER AND OVER AFTER TURNING ON FLASHERS AND WAVING TRAFFIC AROUND US.

I HAVE A 2016 TOURING MODEL. I PURCHASED IT USED FROM GLADSTONE HONDA (NOW SWICKARD) IN 2017. IN 2018 MY BATTERY SUDDENLY DIED DURING ERRANDS. I HAD THE CAR JUMPED AND REPLACED THE BATTERY FROM A LOCAL AUTO SUPPLY STORE. LAST YEAR, WE STARTED HEARING AN OCCASIONAL WEIRD CLICKING DURING IDLE-STOP. NOW, THIS YEAR, WHEN IN IDLE-STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT, OFTEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF, SLIPS INTO PARK MODE, FLASHES ERROR MESSAGES AND WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY START AGAIN WHEN PUSHING THE IGNITION BUTTON. SOMETIMES, I HAVE BEEN ON A HILL AND THE CAR ROLLS BACKWARDS. THERE IS NO WAY TO PERMANENTLY DISABLE THIS FEATURE, SO UNLESS YOU REMEMBER TO DISABLE IT EVERY TIME YOU START THE CAR, THE SAFETY MALFUNCTION REPEATS ITSELF. IT'S TERRIFYING AND DANGEROUS.

IDLE STOP ENGAGES WHILE STOPPED. WHEN TIME TO MOVE THE CAR SHUTS ITSELF OFF AND DOESN'T RESTART. HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND HIT THE START BUTTON SOMETIMES TWICE BEFORE IT WILL RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST 4-5 MONTHS.

CAR HESITATES FROM 0 MPH WHILE REVS ARE INCREASING ON HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS AND WHILE GEARS ARE CHANGING OR WHEN ACCELERATION IS REQUESTED THEN THE ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT'S HESITANT TO INCREASE POWER. ALSO WHEN GOING UPHILL OR ON INCLINED BRIDGES ON CRUISE CONTROL IT HESITATES TO MAINTAIN SPEED AND FEEL LIKE ITS JUMPING FORWARD. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PILOT OWNERS AND IF IT WAS BECAUSE THEY RECOMMEND FROM THE FACTORY TO USE REGULAR GAS, MAYBE ITS AN OCTANE PROBLEM. BOTTOM LINE IT HESITATES WHEN STOPPED AND STARTS IN MOTION AND ALSO WHEN YOU REQUEST SOME MORE POWER WHILE ON HIGHWAYS. IT IS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I DO NOT DRIVE MY PILOT LIKE A SPORTS CAR I'M CAREFUL AND TAKE CARE OF MY INVESTMENT.

2016 HONDA PILOT EX-L. FOR MONTHS, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHOWING A KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR MESSAGE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERIES IN BOTH FOBS AND I HAVE CHECKED ALL OF THE FUSES, AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH HONDA PILOTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35-57 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR PROVIDE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

I HAVE HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON ALMOST CONSTANTLY FOR THE LAST YEAR STATING 'IGNITION SYSTEM PROBLEM.' I HAVE TAKEN IT THE THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM ON 4 OCCASIONS. THEY 'FIXED IT' AND SAID IT WAS JUST A FAULTY SENSOR. THE LIGHT HAS NOW COME BACK ON AND I HAVE TO RETURN THE CAR YET AGAIN.

CAR STALLED WHILE AT TRAFFIC LIGHT AND DID NOT RESTART. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS CAR WAS STOPPED IN TWO WAY TRAFFIC AT A BUSY 4-WAY INTERSECTION. CAR COULD NOT BE PUT INTO NEUTRAL (OR ANY GEAR) TO BE MOVED OUT OF TRAFFIC. DASH INDICATED ENGINE MUST BE RUNNING TO SWITCH GEARS, SO ENGINE CLEARLY CUT OUT. DASH ALSO INDICATED TO DEPRESS BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSH START BUTTON TO RESTART BUT THIS WOULD NOT WORK. ATTEMPTED MANY TIMES. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET CAR INTO ACCESSORY MODE. SUBSEQUENTLY, DEPRESSED BRAKE AND PRESSED START BUTTON AND ENGINE FINALLY RESTARTED. *LN*JB

FOR AT LEAST THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF I KEEP GETTING AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT SAYS, KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERIES IN MY FOB BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE THAT WOULD CREATE THIS MESSAGE. DURING THE LAST MONTH I HAVE NOTICED MY CAR IS NOT STARTING UP IMMEDIATELY LIKE IT USED TO WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE START/STOP ENGINE BUTTON.I HAVE TO PRESS IT SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE CAR WILL START. THE VEHICLE WAS JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I WAS TRYING TO START IT TO LEAVE FOR WORK.

ENGINE STALLING ON HIGHWAY AND FREEWAYS DURING STOPS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON FREEWAY WHEN WE HAD TO STOP DUE TO FRONT TRAFFIC AND CAR COMPLETELY STALLED AND COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR. ENTIRE FAMILY WAS INSIDE.

THE AUTO ENGINE IDLE STOP IS MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS. WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT THE IDLE STOP WILL COME ON AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN. NORMALLY RELEASING THE BRAKE WILL START THE ENGINE BACK UP. HOWEVER, ON SATURDAY EVENING THE CAR DIED AND TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES TO START BACK UP. I HAD THE BATTERY INSPECTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS NOT A BATTERY ISSUE AND THEY SAID THE BATTERY TESTED FINE AND WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SYSTEM. HONDA HAS INDICATED THIS A KNOWN PROBLEM THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR.

NOTICED PAINT PEELING OFF THE ROOF, BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE MOONROOF FOR NO REASON WHILE MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. NO DINGS OR DENTS IN THE AREA. CALLED HONDA HEADQUARTERS TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T HELP. THEN I WANT TO GO WASH THE CAR SO I COULD APPLY SOME TOUCH CUP PAINT TO SEAL IT UP AND IT STARTING TO PEAL OFF EVER MORE. JUST PEALING WAY AND SPREADING. ALSO NOTICED A SMALL PATCH OF RUSTING UNDER THE REAR TRUNK.

II STARTED HAVING A "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" ERROR SHOWING UP ON THE DASH. AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE WALK AWAY LOCK SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING AS WELL AS THE LOCKING BUTTON ON THE TAILGATE. THE ERROR MESSAGE WOULD COME AND GO BUT NOW IT IS ON CONSISTENTLY. I HAVE TO PUSH THE START BUTTON 3-4 TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO START AND NOW I AM HAVING TROUBLE TURNING THE CAR OFF. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR, BUT THE ERROR MESSAGE STAYS ON ALL THE TIME NOW. I AM WORRIED I AM GOING TO BE SOMEWHERE AND NOT BE ABLE TO START THE CAR OR TURN THE CAR OFF.

WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, MY AUTO IDLE SETTING KICKED ON AS USUAL. WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO RELEASE THE BREAK AND STEP ON THE GAS, MY CAR STALLED. I WAS UNABLE TO OR MY VEHICLE. I COULD NOT PUT CAR IN PARK, NEUTRAL, ETC. ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, AND I WAS INSTRUCTED TO STEP ON THE BREAK AND PLACE MY CAR IN PARK. I ATTEMPTED TO DO THIS BUT MY CAR REFUSED TO SHIFT. I ALSO ATTEMPTED TO PRESS THE IGNITION BUTTON TO CUT THE CAR ON AND IT DID NOT WORK. MY CAR REMAINED STALLED FOR APPROXIMATELY 60 SECONDS. I WAS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH AN AMBULANCE COMING TOWARDS ME AND I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE MY CAR. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. MY CAR IS FAIRLY NEW WITH ONLY 53K MILES. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND AN ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! WHAT IF I'M ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC AND MY CAR STALLS AFTER BEING IN THE AUTO IDLE POSITION? WHAT IF I'M CROSSING OVER A TRAIN TRACK AND MY CAR STALLS? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE HONDA NEEDS TO FIX! I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE.

THERE IS JERKING WHEN ACCELERATING MY VEHICLE. THIS TAKES PLACE TYPICALLY WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 20 AND 60 MPH. THIS SEEMINGLY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS VERY WORRYING FOR MY 2016 HONDA PILOT. I STARTED NOTICING IT AT AROUND 20K MILES. AT THE CURRENT TIME, MY MILEAGE IS AT 50K. I WORRY WHAT WILL HAPPEN DOWN THE YEARS. I AM ALMOST THINKING OF DISPOSING THE CAR. A MANUFACTURER LIKE HONDA NEEDS TO OWN THIS PROBLEM AND HELP ITS CUSTOMERS WITH A FIX.

I HAVE HAD 2 PROBLEMS SHOW UP ON THE DASHBOARD FOR MY VEHICLE. AS FOLLOWS: 1) EMISSIONS SYSTEMS PROBLEM 2) KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM MY DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE NORMAL. I KEEP MY VEHICLE MAINTAINED AND SERVICED REGULARLY. I WANT TO REPORT THESE 2 SAFETY PROBLEMS SINCE I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD NOT APPEAR FOR A VEHICLE AT THIS MILEAGE. THANK YOU

I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN FREDERICKSBURG BECAUSE I HAD A SIGN ON MY CAR SAYING EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM AND ALL WHEELS DRIVE SYSTEM PROBLEM. ONCE I GOT TO THE HONDA DEALER THEY SAID THE FUEL INJECTORS FAILED AND YOU NEED NEW ONES. I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 3 YEARS AGO PARTIALLY NEW WITH LITTLE MILES ON IT. TO GET THE FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED THE DEALERSHIP IS ASKING ME $1500. THAT IS INSANE BECAUSE ITS CLEARLY NOT MY FAULT THIS CAR NEVER GOT INTO A ACCIDENT AND I MAINTAINED IT TOP NOTCH.I WENT ONLINE AGAIN ADN DID MY RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER COME TO KNOW THERE ARE OVER THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE THAT THIS IS NEVER BEEN RECALLED. I WILL NOT PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM. I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH FOUR KIDS IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE LIKE THIS.

#1 KEYLESS REMOTE ENTRY HAS NOT WORKED FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $300. AUTOMATIC LOCK FEATURE IS NOT WORKING ANY MORE. BASED ON MY RESEARCH IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT HONDA KEEP GUESSING ON AND CHARGING FOR REPLACING, WITH NO REAL FIX. #2 WHEN DRIVING, ALL OF THE SUDDEN ALL ENGINE LIGHTS START COMING ON, BREAK, POWER STEERING, VEHICLE STABILITY...ALL OF THEM ONE BY ONE. AT THE TIME MY PILOT STARTED "PULLING", AND RPM GAGE WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN. A FEW DAYS LATER TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THIS TIME, IT ONLY HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT ON AND A CODE P0304 WAS DETECTED. CHANGED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND COILS, ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY FOR A WEEK. AGAIN, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ALL LIGHTS START COMING UP AGAIN AND THE SAME "PULLING" HAPPENS. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING ON. OTHER HONDA PILOT SAME YEAR DRIVERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

EMISSIONS SYSTEM ERROR NOTIFICATION BEGAN SHORTLY AFTER VEHICLE PURCHASE AT 38,000K MILES. LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO BACK OFF PERIODICALLY, CONTACTED LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND BROUGHT VEHICLE IN. WAS ADVISED THAT CODE COULD NOT BE REVIEWED AT THAT TIME BUT AS WARRANTY WAS CLOSE TO EXPIRATION, NOTE WOULD BE ADDED AND MAY ASSIST IF LIGHT STAYED ON. TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A NEW DEALERSHIP WHEN WE RELOCATED, THIS TIME MILEAGE AT 58,000, WAS ADVISED VEHICLE NEEDED FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED AS WELL AS FUEL PIPE. REVIEW OF MESSAGE BOARDS AND SERVICE BULLETIN 018-25 APPEARS TO SHOW ISSUE IS ONGOING AND WIDESPREAD. CONTACTED HONDA SERVICE AND WAS ADVISED OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY AND HONDA WOULD NOT ASSIST. ASSISTANCE OR LACK THEREOF APPEARS TO BE BASED ON REPRENTATIVE, SEVERAL CUSTOMERS REPORT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE VOUCHERS OFFERED OTHERS, MYSELF INCLUDED WERE TOLD GOOD LUCK AND GOODBYE. HONDA DEALERSHIPS REGULARLY ADVISING THAT PARTS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER DUE TO KNOWN ISSUE BUT REFUSE TO RECALL. PROBLEM FIRST BEGAN ONLY ON VERY WARM DAYS BUT WOULD DISAPPEAR WHEN TEMPERATURES DROPPED. IS NOW ONGOING. VEHICLE ALSO OCCASIONALLY FAILS TO RE-ENGAGE AFTER THE AUTO SHUTOFF ON IDLE.

THE FUEL EMISSIONS SYSTEM LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. *TR

DRIVING AT 35 MPH ON MY WAY HOME ON A SIDE STREET AND MY CAR JOLTED AND STALLED AND SEVERAL (5)WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. VEHICLE STABILITY, BRAKE, TRAMMISION WARNING, AND A COUPLE OTHER LIGHTS. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. I TRIED TO DRIVE IT IN A PARKING LOT SO I WAS ABLE TO GET SAFELY OUT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC . AND IT WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND I COULDN+T DRIVE IT AT ALL AS I WOULD TRY TO START AND IT WOJLD REV TO 4000-5000 RPMS AND WOULD POP IN AND OUT FROM GEAR TO PARK.. I HAD IT TOWED FROM THE PARKING LOT I WAS IN TO MY MACHANIC . MY CONCERN IS THAT I DON+T FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SHIFTING ISSUES, STALLS AND JOLTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IF I WERE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THAT HAPPENED, GOING AT 65 MPH, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED UNNECESSARY ACCIDENTS. IT+S EXTREMELYNDANGEROUS WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR AS WELL AS INNOCENT BYSTANDERS STILL NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE.

ERROR MESSAGE "KEYLESS REMOTE SYSTEM PROBLEM". THE AUTOMATIC LOCK FEATURE IS NO LONGER WORKING. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, DEALERSHIPS SERVICE TECHNICIANS ARE GUESSING HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM CHARGING AS THEY EXPERIMENT ON GUESSING THE FIX. ONE CUSTOMER WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP CONTACT HONDA, WHICH RESULTED ON A NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. THIS NEEDS TO BE ON A RECALL FOR 2016 HONDA PILOT.

VEHICLE SHUTDOWN AFTER START WHEN MOVING FROM PARK TO REVERSE. KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM APPEARED. EMISSIONS SYSTEM WARNING REAPPEARED AFTER HAVING IT CLEARED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP 2 DAYS EARLIER. *TR

2016 HONDA PILOT I GET A KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR MESSAGE AND I HAVE HEARD THAT 2016 MODELS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. HONDA WANTS TO CHARGE ME $400 TO FIX AND IT IS ONLY A 10 MINUTE JOB. RECALL ISSUE??

STRIPPING ON ROOF COMES OFF ON ITS OWN. MOST RECENTLY THE STRIPPING ABOVE THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS FALLEN OFF, LEAVING A VISIBLE NAIL OR SCREW. HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING.

I WAS DRIVING ON A DUAL TWO LANE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH. AT A CROSS ROAD A TRAFFIC LIGHT WAS RED, AND I STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE AUTOMATIC IDLE STOP SHUT OFF THE ENGINE FOR 1/2 TO 1 MINUTE, BEFORE THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN. WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK, THE CAR SHOULD HAVE STARTED, BUT IT DIDN'T.. MANY OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE CARS AROUND ME MOVED FORWARD AND SEVERAL HONKED, BECAUSE I WASN'T MOVING. OTHER CARS WERE APPROACH ME FROM BEHIND AT SPEED. I TRIED TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTART IT. NOTHING HAPPENED BECAUSE THE SHIFT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I EXITED THE CAR AND PUSHED IT TO THE RIGHT TURN LANE JUST AHEAD AND PUSHED THE BRAKE TO STOP ONCE I WAS OUT OF THE DRIVING LANE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND TRIED TO START THE ENGINE 2 OR 3 TIMES BEFORE THE STARTER TURNED THE ENGINE OVER. SEVERAL CARS WENT BY AT SPEED, AND LUCKILY NO ONE WANTED TO TURN RIGHT. THE CAR IS JUST OVER 5 YEARS OLD AND I AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH ITS OPERATION WITH THE AUTOMATIC IDLE STOP FEATURE, BUT THIS TIME IT SURPRISED ME. I HAD REPLACED THE BATTERY AFTER 2.5 YEARS OF DRIVING, AND IT IS ONLY 1 YEAR AND 10 MONTHS SINCE IT WAS REPLACED. I HAVE READ ANECDOTAL ACCOUNTS OF SIMILAR INCIDENCES BY OTHER 2016 PILOT OWNERS WHO HAD NO REASON FOR THE INCIDENT. THE CAR DID NOT HAVE ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS THAT DAY, BECAUSE I CANCELLED THE IDLE STOP FEATURE FOR THE TRIP HOME. I FEEL I COULD EASILY HAVE BECOME A STATISTIC ALONG WITH MY WIFE HAD THE TRAFFIC BEEN MODERATELY GREATER THAT EVENING. OTHER HAVE REGISTERED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THIS WEBSITE. I AM HAVING THE BATTERY REPLACE TOMORROW, EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER HASN'T YET EVALUATED ITS CONDITION.

2016 HONDA PILOT RANDOMLY GET A KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR MESSAGE WHEN ABOUT TO START VEHICLE AND WHILE DRIVING. DEALER WANTS $110 JUST TO DO AN ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSIS. MANY COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. COULD LEAVE DRIVER STRANDED IF VEHICLE DOES NOT START OR SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. SOME STATE COULD RESULT IN DRIVER/OCCUPANT NOT BEING ABLE TO EXIT VEHICLE IF FAILURE OCCURS. VERY UNSAFE SITUATION! *TR

ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 WEEKS FROM A DEALERSHIP AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CHECK EMISSION LIGHTS COME ON BEEN LOOKING AT REVIEWS AND THEY ARE NOT GOOD. *TR

THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM! WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND THE AUTO ENGINE IDLE IS ON, WHEN I LIFT THE BRAKE TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR SHUTS OFF THE ENGINE COMPLETELY, PUTS ITSELF IN NEUTRAL OR PARK, AND REQUIRES ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART (PRESS BRAKE AND IGNITION BUTTON). SO WHEN I'M AT A RED LIGHT THAT TURNS GREEN, WHEN I ATTEMPT TO GO BY LIFTING THE BRAKE AND PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR MY ENGINE QUITS, JUST AS THE FOLKS BEHIND ME ARE READY TO MOVE FORWARD WHILE THE ENGINE OF MY CAR IS STILL OFF. *TR

I AM GETTING A KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR. I HAD A PROBLEM WHERE THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE ON THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL. *TR

AT STOP LIGHT, ENGINE DIES AND CANNOT RESTART. VERY DANGEROUS, THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY AND TODAY. THE CAR WAS SERVICED FOR SAME ISSUE ON JAN 4, 2020. WAS TOLD NEEDED SOFTWARE UPDATE. EVENTUALLY IT STARTS BUT I AM STUCK AT INTERSECTION FOR A FEW MINUTES UNTIL IT WILL RESTART. *TR

I AM GETTING A KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR. THIS COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO NOT START OR STOP. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING ON THESE YEAR/MAKE/MODEL AND THERE IS SOMETHING FAULTY IN THESE SWITCHES.

REMOTE SYSTEM START ERROR MESSAGE RECEIVED AND THEN THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. I WAS STRANDED AT A GAS STATION AND HAD TO BE TOWED. ORIGINALLY DIAGNOSED AS BATTERY AFTER I RECEIVED A JUMP. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND HAD NO ISSUES FOR ABOUT 4 WEEKS. NOW THE ERROR IS BACK. SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR 2016 PILOTS BASED ON MY RESEARCH. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUE FOR HONDA TO FIX!

THE FOLLOWING ERROR CODE APPEARED SEVERAL DAYS AGO; KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. HONDA INFORMED ME THAT THE PUSH BUTTON STARTER REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. I INSTALLED THE NEW UNIT AS INSTRUCTED, AND THE ERROR MESSAGE WENT AWAY. TODAY (TWO DAYS LATER) THE ERROR MESSAGE RE-APPEARED. I HAVE SINCE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS REPORTED ONLINE BY HONDA VEHICLE OWNERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE CAR DISPLAYS KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM STARTED OVER A YEAR AGO AND I WAS CHARGED $140 TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS BUT NOTHING CAME BACK AS AN ANSWER. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS! I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE OF IT'S SAFETY FEATURES, AND NOW I DO NOT FEEL SAFE EVERY DAY BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS WONDERING IF THE CAR WILL START. I HAVE THREE KIDS AND MANY RESPONSIBILITIES. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BOUGHT A HONDA CIVIC, HONDA CR-V, HONDA ELEMENT AND A 2007 HONDA PILOT BUT HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A NAGGING PROBLEM LIKE THIS ONE BEFORE. PLEASE ADVISE! *TR

VEHICLE DISPLAYS KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR. *TR

WHEN THE ENGINE IDLE STOP IS ENGAGED THE CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY NOT RESTART. IT TAKES MULTIPLE TRIES TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. MOST OF THE TIME IT HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC WHICH IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

MOONROOF SHATTERED FROM THE CENTER OF THE MOONROOF WHILE DRIVING ON PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE ON WORK COMMUTE AT APPROXIMATELY 10 A.M. 06/03/2020. THIS WAS APPROACHING THE WILLOW ROVE EXIT AND VEHICLE WAS ALREADY BEGINNING TO SLOW AS THE OFF RAMP WAS COMING UP IN A MILE. NOTHING HIT THE VEHICLE THAT COULD BE DETERMINED. *TR

ISSUE: CAR IS UNABLE TO START WHEN ON A CITY STREET AND AUTO-START IS ENABLED (STALLING). THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER SHE OFTEN HAS THE KIDS IN THE CAR WHICH CREATES A LARGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST PRESENTED ITSELF, THERE WAS ONE TIME WHERE THE CAR UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. UNFORTUNATELY THAT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE REPLICATED AS WELL NOR HAVE WE EXPERIENCED IT AGAIN. POTENTIAL SOLUTION 1: BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED WHICH TEMPORARILY STOPPED THE ISSUE, HOWEVER WITHIN MONTHS THE ISSUE IS BACK. POTENTIAL SOLUTION 2: IT'S WORTH NOTING THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED RECENTLY, HOWEVER IT WAS NOT DUE TO THIS THE STALLING ISSUE, THERE WAS AN ACTUAL ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE STALLING STOPPED FOR A WHILE AS WELL, THEN CAME BACK AGAIN. CONCERNS: WE ARE CONCERNED WITH OUR SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE WHICH DOESN'T GIVE OWNERSHIP OF THIS CAR A GOOD FEELING. WHILE WE CAN CHOSE TO SELL THIS CAR AND PASS THIS ISSUE TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO IN TURN COULD GET HURT OR KILLED IF THEY ARE IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME AND THAT SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE. WE SHOULDN'T WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO GET HURT/KILLED BY THIS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. WE'RE HOPING WITH THE CONTINUED REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE THERE WILL BE SOMETHING DONE BY HONDA TO RESOLVE THIS. WE'RE NO LONGER PROUD OF OUR OWNERSHIP OF THIS CAR DUE TO THE SAFETY HAZARD THIS HAS PRESENTED TO OUR FAMILY. TIME OF INCIDENT MILEAGE PROVIDED WAS FROM 7/2018 - IT OCCURRED PRIOR TO THAT AND AFTER.

FOR HONDA PILOT 2016 , THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION THAT CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO OVERHEAT. THE OVERHEATING ISSUE LEADS TO A 'JUDDER' IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR ACCELERATES IN A VERY JERKY WAY ESPECIALLY BETWEEN 30 AND 50. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU ARE TRYING TO PASS SOMEONE. AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE REACHES 80,000 MILES HONDA WILL NO LONGER COVER THE SO-CALLED 'REPAIR' WHICH IS TO FLUSH THE BURNT TRANSMISSION OIL MULTIPLE TIMES. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED 2016 HONDA PILOT TOURING FROM A DEALERSHIP IN OCTOBER OF 2018 THAT HAD ABOUT 25,000 MILES ON IT. THERE WERE NO ISSUES UNTIL ABOUT 4-5 MONTHS AGO WHEN THE CAR DIED AT A COMPLETE STOP WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. ON 5/25/2020, AT ABOUT 42,690 MILES, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AT AN INTERSECTION BEHIND 4 CARS, WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABOUT 30 SECONDS BEFORE THE AUTO IDLE STOP KICKED IN. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE CARS AHEAD OF ME STARTED TO MOVE, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. THEN IMMEDIATELY, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS LIT UP AND THE ENGINE DIED. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THE SAME SCENARIO AT THE SAME LOCATION. THIS TIME, I REMEMBERED TO IMMEDIATELY TURN ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS, THEN I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, STEP ON THE BRAKES AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I DO REMEMBER THAT IT TOOK ABOUT 30 SECONDS FOR ME TO RESTART THE CAR. I PRESSED THE ENGINE START BUTTON TWICE. BECAUSE I WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE HEADING UPHILL AND THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE AT A COMPLETE STOP, I WAS NOT IN IMMINENT DANGER OF BEING REAR ENDED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS AT THIS SAME STOPLIGHT BUT WITH ABOUT 8 CARS AHEAD OF ME. THERE IS A WAIT TIME OF ABOUT 1 MINUTE AT PEAK TRAFFIC FOR THE LIGHT TO CYCLE THROUGH. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET SERVICED ON 5/26/2020. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND I RODE WITH THE TECHNICIAN ON A TEST DRIVE BUT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. HONDA ENDED UP CHANGING THE BATTERY AT MY EXPENSE AS A POSSIBLE FIX, SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE WHAT WAS WRONG. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP AND DRIVING THE CAR HOME, I NOTICED THE AUTO IDLE STOP SEEMED TO BE DISABLED, EVEN IF I DID NOT MANUALLY TURN IT OFF. PRIOR TO SERVICING, THE AUTO IDLE STOP WAS FULLY FUNCTIONAL. *TR *BF*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CURRY HONDA GEORGIA (5525 PEACHTREE INDUSTRIAL BLVD, CHAMBLEE, GA 30341), WHERE THE FUEL RAILS WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED WITH THE EMISSION WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A HOEHN HONDA (5454 PASEO DEL NORTE, CARLSBAD, CA 92008) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED BY THE SAME DEALER TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V219000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

'KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM' APPEAR AFTER 40,XXX MILEAGE. THE HONDA DEALER IS JUST GUESSING RIGHT NOW THEY REPLACE MY BATTERY BUT AFTER A DAY THE SAME ERROR REAPPEAR. THERE IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AS THERE SO MANY ISSUES REGARDING THIS IF YOU GOOGLE IT. MY CAR WONT START THEN GOT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND IT MIGHT DIE AGAIN NOW THAT IT REAPPEAR. *TR

THE CAR THREW MULTIPLE ERRORS INCLUDING EMISSION SYSTEM, POWER STEERING, VEHICLE STABILITY, TRAILER STABILITY, HILL ASSIST, AND ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION. RESULT WAS KEY SAFETY FEATURES, INCLUDING AUTONOMOUS BRAKING, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION, POWER STEERING, AND LANE KEEPING WERE RENDERED INOPERABLE. THE ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED WHILE IN MOTION AT 50 MPH. THE ERRORS CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER IGNITION WAS ENGAGED. *TR

PUSH TO START BUTTON KEEPS FAILING. AUTOMATIC LOCK DOES NOT ENGAGE. WHEN PUSH TO START FAILS, STABILITY CONTROL FAILS WITH IT. VEHICLE MENTIONS NO STABILITY CONTROL. *TR

THE IDLE START/STOP FEATURE CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL WHEN STOPPED. WHEN THE AT A FULL STOP AND THE IDLE/STOP KICKS IN THE CAR DOES NOT COME BACK ON AND SHUTS OFF WITH ALL OF THE LIGHTS IN THE CONSOLE LIGHTING UP AND MUST BE COMPLETELY SHUT-OFF AND RESTARTED, "STALL OUT" AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN WHEN I WAS IN "AUTO IDLE-STOP" AND PRESSED ON THE GAS. I FIRST NOTICED THAT THE AUTO IDLE-STOP WAS HESITATING WHEN IT WOULD START UP. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE RADIO WOULD "CUT OUT". AFTER THAT, THE VEHICLE WOULD JUST STALL OUT AND I WOULD HAVE TO PUSH PARK, PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THEN PUSH START. TOOK TO THE DEALER DURING MY LAST SERVICE ON JANUARY 20, 2020 AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE. THE ISSUE HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AND IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. THE CAR HAS STALLED AT LIGHTS AND POSES A DANGER TO MY WIFE AND 3 YOUNG CHILDREN. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT LOOK INTO IT ANY FURTHER BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I'VE RESEARCHED FORUMS ONLINE AND OTHER HONDA PILOT OWNERS HAVE EXPRESSED THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

STARTED CAR IN THE MORNING AND MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED - CAR WORKED JUST FINE THE NIGHT BEFORE WHEN IT WAS PARKED. TOOK IT TO DEALER TO DIAGNOSE AND IT CAME BACK WITH CODE P0304 AND A RECOMMENDATION TO REPLACE ALL FUEL INJECTORS AND RAILS (PIPES) FOR A TOTAL COST OF $1,311.19. CAR ONLY HAD 46,473 MILES. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD ON TIME SERVICE ALWAYS AND ONLY SERVICED BY DEALER. CAN PROVIDE REPAIR INVOICE IF NEEDED

WE OWN A 2016 HONDA PILOT ELITE WITH AUTO START/STOP FEATURE. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000 MILES AND BEGAN EXHIBITING ISSUES WITH THE AUTO START/STOP FEATURE. WHEN STOPPED AT ANY LOCATION, THE AUTO STOP ENGAGES AND TURNS OFF THE ENGINE AND SHOULD RESTART WHEN YOU LIFT YOUR FOOT OF THE BRAKE; BUT IT IS NOW TURNING ALL THE POWER TO THE VEHICLE OFF (RADIO OFF, A/C OFF, DASH LIGHTS OFF). IN SOME CASES THE DASH WILL FLICKER WITH AND DASH LIGHTS WILL ELIMINATE FOR A SECOND. AS A RESULT YOU CANNOT MOVE THE VEHICLE AND ARE STUCK IN A DANGEROUS PLACE (CAN'T PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, NO POWER). THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS; AT STOP LIGHTS WHERE CARS BEHIND YOU GET FRUSTRATED AND HONK THEIR HORNS (TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES TO START BACK UP IF YOU ARE LUCKY) AND MOST CONCERNING IS IF YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND ABOUT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, WHILE WAITING TO MAKE THE TURN, THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF ' NOW WE ARE STUCK IN THE INTERSECTION WITH TWO KIDS IN THE VEHICLE. NOW ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS EITHER FAST APPROACHING OR HONKING BECAUSE WE ARE BLOCKING THE LANE. WE HAVE BEEN ALMOST STRUCK ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE ONLY WORK AROUND IS TO TURN THE AUTO START/STOP FEATURE OFF (PUSHING THE BUTTON) WHEN YOU FIRST GET IN THE VEHICLE, BUT IF YOU FORGET ' WE MIGHT GET KILLED. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. MY BATTERY TESTED FINE. I LOCATED NUMEROUS HONDA PILOT POSTS ONLINE THAT INDICATE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, DATING BACK TO THE 2016, BUT NO ONE IS HELPING THE CONSUMER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS A DELAY IN REPAIRING THIS ISSUE; IT IS NOT JUST A GENERAL INCONVENIENCE, IT IS A SAFETY RISK. WE ARE FRUSTRATED AND SCARED. IF WE TRADE THE VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER CAR, WHAT HAPPENS TO THE NEXT FAMILY THAT PURCHASES THIS VEHICLE ' DO THEY SUFFER THE FATAL OUTCOME.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR.

2016 PILOT ALONG WITH OTHER MAKES AND MODELS ARE SHOWING KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR BETWEEN 30,000 AND 65,000 MILES. VEHICLES HAVE TROUBLE STARTING IGNITION DUE TO FAULTY PUSH BUTTON IGNITION SWITCHES AND MODULES. THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE OCCUPANTS TO BE LOCKED IN THE VEHICLE AND POTENTIALLY UNABLE TO TURN VEHICLE OFF INSIDE COVERED GARAGES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR WHICH HONDA I HAS BEEN AWARE OF FOR SOME TIME. ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. THIS ISSUE HAS ALSO OCCURRED WHILE INSIDE MY HOME GARAGE.

THIS IS A 2016 HONDA PILOT AND THE ENGINE STUTTERS/JUDDER BETWEEN 30-50 MILES PER HOUR APPARENTLY IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM, WENT TO THE DEALER FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOOD FOR 6 MONTHS THEN BACK, I THINK THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM AS MANY ARE DESCRIBING SAME PROBLEM

I HAD TO PRESS MY START BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE VEHICLE TO START. THE VEHICLE WOULD DISPLAY A MESSAGE 'KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM'. UPON REPLACING THE START/STOP BUTTON, IT APPEARS TO HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE. I FOUND MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHERS ONLINE WITH THE 2016 PILOT.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM RANDOMLY SOMETIMES DOESN'T LOCK THE DOORS WITH THE REMOTE, OR WON'T HONK AND LIGHTS WON'T FLASHWHEN LOCKING THE DOORS.

CAR STALLS AND DOES NOT RESTART. CAR HAS AUTO IDLE STOP FEATURE. WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR COMPLETELY DIES AND CANNOT BE RESTARTED. NO EMERGENCY LIGHT, NO LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD, CANNOT LOCK CAR, CANNOT PUT INTO NEUTRAL, MUST BE TOWED. CAR FIRST STARTED STOPPING AT STOP LIGHTS IN CITY STREETS IN 2017. WOULD TAKE A FEW ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. BROUGHT TO DEALER TO STATE MY CONCERN THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN IN THE FREEWAY AND THEY CHECKED AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. ON 3/19/20, DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY, I HAD TO STOP FOR TRAFFIC. CAR DIED COMPLETELY. I COULDN'T EVEN TURN ON THE EMERGENCY LIGHT. I HAD TO OPEN MY DOOR A LITTLE BIT, STICK MY ARM OUT AND WAVE FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. SEMI TRUCKS WERE QUICKLY CHANGING LANES TO AVOID REAR-ENDING ME. IT WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING INCIDENT THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A TRANSMISSION SENSOR ERROR AND CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT. 4/2/20 AS MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE EXITING THE FREEWAY, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. WE STOPPED AT THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE EXIT WHEN THE CAR JUST STALLED. AGAIN TOTALLY DEAD. IT'S JUST A PARKED CAR THAT CANNOT BE RESTARTED. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. THE DEALER'S ATTEMPTS TO FIX IT DID NOT WORK. THE DEALER WAS CLOSED WHEN WE DROPPED IT OFF TONIGHT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE CAR JUST DIES AND WILL NOT RESTART. THERE IS NOT EVEN A WAY TO TURN ON THE EMERGENCY BLINKING LIGHTS TO ALERT OTHER MOTORISTS OF A STALLED CAR. HAD THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED IN THE DARK, MY DAUGHTER AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

VEHICLE GETS KEYLESS START IGNITION PROBLEM

OUR PILOT HAS A "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" WARNING LIGHT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE COST OF REPAIR IS APX 300.00. HONDA SHOULD HAVE A RECALL

KEYLESS START PROBLEM ERROR. FLASHING AND HAS PROBLEMS STARTING.

THE REMOTE START FEATURE DOES NOT WORK. LIGHTS DO NOT FLASH WHEN YOU LOCK THE VEHICLE NOR DOES THE HORN MAKE A NOISE WHEN YOU USE THE KEY FOB TO LOCK THE DOOR. HAVE TAKE. IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REPLACED A MODULE IN THE DOOR SAYING IT WAS NOT GETTING GOOD SIGNAL. THAT PART DID NOT WORK

WARNING LIGHT KEEPS INDICATING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY KEYLESS REMOTE. I'VE CHANGED THE BATTERY, BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON. IT'S ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. IT HAPPENS WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR AS WELL AS WHEN I'M IN MOTION.

ON 3/15/2020, MY FAMILY AND I WERE IN OUR 2016 AWD HONDA PILOT ELITE. MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN NOTICING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION GETTING WORSE SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA (APPROX. 25 MPH), THE CAR SUDDENLY "LURCHED/JERKED" FORWARD WITH SOME FORCE WHEN WE WERE SLOWING DOWN TO A POSTED STOP SIGN. THIS WAS A HUGE ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT PEOPLE WERE CROSSING RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. AFTER THIS, WE PROCEEDED TO HEAD HOME. AGAIN THE CAR BEGAN TO "JERK/LURCH" FORWARD WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO PERFORM A SLOW SPEED NORMAL STOP, CAUSING US TO ALMOST REAR END THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF US. LASTLY, BEFORE GETTING HOME, DURING THE PILOT'S ACCELERATION FROM A STOPPED POSITION, BETWEEN THE 1-4 GEARS, THE CAR AGAIN WOULD EITHER JERK FORWARD UNPREDICTABLY OR NOT EVEN SHIFT INTO GEAR PROPERLY, LEAVING THE CAR WITH NO POWER TO GET MOVING. NOW IF THIS WASN'T ENOUGH TO WANT SOMEONE TO TAKE THEIR CAR IN, ON 3/16/2020, MY WIFE WAS BACKING THE CAR OUT OF OUR GARAGE. WHEN SHE SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE, THE ENTIRE ENGINE/FRONT END OF THE CAR VIOLENTLY SHUTTERED (ASSUMED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION DRIVE ASSEMBLY) AND WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY TO REVERSE. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN TO LIGHT UP THE DASH ALONG WITH OTHER ELECTRICAL WARNING LIGHTS. WE EVENTUALLY GOT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT AND THEY ARE INDICATING TO US THAT IT IS A TRANSMISSION MODULE REPAIR/RE-CALIBRATION THAT NEEDS SOFTWARE UPDATES AS WELL. NOT REALLY SURE ABOUT THESE REPAIRS AS WE HAVE BEEN INDICATING TO OUR HONDA DEALERSHIP THESE PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR, BUT THEY ASSURED US OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR FIND ANYTHING WRONG, UNTIL NOW, WHEN OUR WARRANTY EXPIRED. SEEN A TON OF INTERNET POSTS ABOUT FAULTY 2016/2017 HONDA PILOT TRANSMISSIONS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE YET.

EMISSION SYSTEMS PROBLEM

APEAR AIR BAG LIGHT.AND POWER STERING LIGHT

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEYLESS KEY WHEN KEY IS DETECTED IN THE VEHICLE.

I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. THE IDLE START/STOP KICKED IN. WHEN I WENT TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE TO THE GAS TO GO ACROSS THE BUSY INTERSECTION, MY PILOT COMPLETELY DIED. THIS LEFT ME STRANDED AT A STOP SIGN AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION FOR OVER 2 HOURS WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS 'JUST A SOFTWARE UPDATE'. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THEY ARE ONLY FIXING IT WHEN IT AFFECTS A VEHICLE. NO RECALL??!!!! I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO UPLOAD MY VIDEO THAT I TOOK WHEN THIS ALL HAPPENED SO YOU COULD SEE WHAT MY DASH LOOKED LIKE WHEN I KEPT TRYING TO START MY CAR BACK UP. THE WEEK PRIOR TO THIS, THE PHOTO SHOWS WHAT NOTICE POPPED UP ON MY DASH.

ON FRIDAY, 2/21, THE 'EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM' CAME ON MY DASH (AGAIN). DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALER ON MONDAY, 2/24. WE WERE TOLD THE FUEL INJECTORS ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEN WE GOT A CALL BACK THAT AFTER THEY GOT IN THERE, ALL THE SEALS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TOO. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS BRAND NEW CAR FOR 4 YEARS & 4 MONTHS. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA.

KEYLESS START IDIOT LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON.

WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE AUTO START/STOP WILL FAIL RANDOMLY. THIS THEN LEAVES THE DRIVER STUCK FOR UP TO 1 MINUTE IN TRAFFIC WITH THE CAR UNRESPONSIVE TO THE START BUTTON. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO HONDA SERVICE STATIONS IN BOTH GEORGIA AND OHIO. AFTER REPLACEMENTS OF BATTERIES, AS PER HONDA RECOMMENDATIONS, THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM. A DRIVER COULD EASILY BE REAR-ENDED AND ULTIMATELY HARMED WHEN LEFT STRANDED ON A BUSY STREET WITH NO ABILITY TO START THE CAR BACK IN A TIMELY FASHION. WHEN PROGRESSING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR, THIS MODEL VIOLENTLY JERKS. THIS HAPPENS DESPITE TIMELY SERVICE EXCLUSIVELY ONE AT HONDA SERVICE STATIONS. EACH TIME IT IS REPORTED, MY WIFE IS TOLD THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE. ULTIMATELY IT APPEARS TO BE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE TO WHICH HONDA WILL NOT ADMIT FAULT.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM, WARNING COMES AND GOES, CAR WONT START AT TIMES

DURING IDLE (SUCH AS AT A RED LIGHT), THE AUTO ENGINE IDLE STOP FUNCTION CAUSES THE ENGINE TO CUT OUT (THIS IS NORMAL) AND THE ENGINE IS SUPPOSED TO COME BACK TO LIFE WHEN THE BRAKE IS RELEASED. HOWEVER, SOMETIMES THE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CUT OUT COMPLETELY (MOST EASILY IDENTIFIED BY THE RADIO CUTTING OUT) AND THE ENGINE DOES NOT COME BACK ON WHEN THE BRAKE IS RELEASED AND THE CAR MUST BE PUT INTO PARK AND RESTARTED, WHICH CAN TAKE QUITE A BIT OF TIME - IT OFTEN HAS TROUBLE RESTARTING WHEN THIS OCCURS. THERE IS USUALLY SOME KIND OF ERROR CODE WHEN THIS OCCURS; THE CODE VARIES BUT IS MOST OFTEN "COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM'. THIS CONDITION CAN BE QUITE HAZARDOUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IN AN INTERSECTION. THERE IS AN OVERRIDE OF THE ENGINE IDLE STOP, BUT IT MUST BE ACTIVATED EACH TIME THE CAR IS RESTARTED, WHICH IS EASILY FORGOTTEN. THIS PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK UNTIL I STARTED USING THE OVERRIDE.

2 WEEK AGO, I AM GETTING AN "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR" WHEN EVER I WANT TO START THE CAR. LATER ON THE MESSAGE HAS STOPPED BUT NOW THE CAR WONT LOCK UPON EXITING LIKE IS USED TO DO BEFORE THIS ERROR MESSAGE. I CHECKED THE CONFIGURATION SETTING AND AUTO LOCK UPON EXITING IS ENABLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO INCREASE IN SPEED WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE SHUDDERING IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CRISWELL HONDA 19525 AMARANTH DR, GERMANTOWN, MD 20874, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR CALLED FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND TO FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY PERIOD BEING EXCEEDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM IS ON IN THE DASH WON'T START OR TURN OFF SOMETIMES

ONCE MY HONDA PILOT HIT MILES OF 34,000, DASHBOARD IS SHOWS WARNING "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM". SHORTLY AFTER I AM HAVING PROBLEM WITH START BUTTON WHICH WON'T START ONE PRESS, I HAVE TO PRESS MANY TIMES TO START THE CAR... I HAVE CHANGED MY KEY FOB BATTERY, AND STILL HAVE SAME PROBLEMS. DEALERSHIP WON'T COVER THIS ISSUE ONCE THE CAR DROVE OVER 30,000 MILES. I DID RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE SPECIFICALLY HONDA PILOT 2016 MODEL. THERE ARE A LOT PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAME ISSUES. I AM AFRAID THAT MY CAR WON'T START ONE DAY. NEVER HAD ISSUE WITH OTHER HONDA MODELS... ALSO THIS MODEL 2016 HONDA PILOT HAS ISSUE WITH MUSIC DASHBOARD, EXAMPLE: THE RADIO DISPLAY WILL BLACK OUT DURING WHEN I AM DRIVING, SO HAD TO TURN OFF MY CAR AND TURN ON TO GET MY RADIO DISPLAY BACK OR ALL OF SUDDEN I CAN NOT CHANGE THE MUSIC VOLUME ETC... GOD KNOWS WHAT IS THE NEXT PROBLEM?!

I BOUGHT A CPO 2016 HONDA PILOT EX 3/23/2019. I HAVE A TRANSMISSION JERKING ISSUE AND BRING BACK TO FREEWAY HONDA, SANTA ANA, IN SEP 2019. THEY FLUSH THE ATF AND THE SITUATION TURNS BACK DAYS LATER. I BRING IT BACK IN 1/29/2020 AND ASK FOR SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUE. BUT THEY SHOW TIRE PRESSURE CHECK ON THE INVOICE. I REALLY WONDERED THEY TRY TO HIDE THE DEFECT AND WON'T FIND OUT ANY PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE BY SEARCHING ITS VIN NUMBER. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS HARD TO SHIFT WHEN 3RD TO 4TH, 28-32 MPH; HARD TO SHIFT WHEN DOWNSHIFT 3RD TO 2ND IN AROUND 22 MPH. NOW I AM THINKING TO FILE THE LEMON LAW BUT THEY WON'T LET ME BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T TELL THE TRUTH.

WITH LESS THAN 40K MILES, THE VEHICLE RECEIVED A MESSAGE ABOUT AN ENGINE PROBLEM. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT IT WOULD REQUIRE NEW FUEL INJECTORS, AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1300. I HAVE HAD OTHER HONDA VEHICLES THAT HAVE GONE 100K MILES AND MORE WITHOUT SUCH PROBLEM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IT SHOULD BE COVERED ON SUCH A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE REQARDLESS OF VEHICLE AGE.

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH OUR PILOT SINCE NOVEMBER. I WENT TO START IT ONE DAY AND A LOT OF LIGHTS ON THE DASH TURNED ON. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY HONDA THAT THE ISSUE IS FUEL INJECTORS, IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR PILOT, WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE TOLD US THIS. THE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED AND STAY ON THROUGH ALL DRIVING. WE HAVE CHECKED THE CODES THAT POP UP AND IT SWITCHES THE MISFIRE CODE FROM ONE CYLINDER TO ANOTHER, AND ALSO SHOWS MULTIPLE MISFIRES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED. THE CONTACT STATED THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM COMES ON WHEN STARTING THE CAR AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING. NO REASON FOR THE ERROR AND SEEMS TO BE A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM WITH HONDA PILOT OWNERS. NO CONSISTENCY TO THE MESSAGE AND WHEN IT COMES ON. FIRST TIME NOTICING ISSUE WAS IN AUGUST, THEN AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER, DECEMBER, JANUARY AND FEBRUARY. IT CAN HAPPEN 1 DAY AND NOT COME BACK ON TILL 3-4 DAYS LATER. SEEMS TO BE MORE FREQUENT WHEN THERE IS OUTSIDE PRECIPITATION SO MAYBE TRIPPING SOME SENSOR. NOT A BATTERY ISSUE AS NEW BATTERY HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN NOVEMBER AND STILL GETTING THE MESSAGE AND FOB BATTERIES HAVE ALSO BEEN REPLACED.

WHILE STOPPED AT A FREEWAY OFF RAMP. THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE PER THE START/STOP FEATURE. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR DID NOT RESTART AND INSTEAD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND PUT ITSELF INTO PARK. I HAD TROUBLE RESTARTING WHILE TRAFFIC BUILT UP BEHIND ME. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND DISCONCERTING PROBLEM.

WE WERE HIT ON THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDES OF THE VEHICLE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS TRAVELLING AT AN ESTIMATED 90-100 MPH, AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING AT ABOUT 50 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE WHEN IT WAS STRUCK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FIRST. THE FORCE OF THAT IMPACT PUSHED MY VEHICLE INTO A LARGE BOX TRUCK ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE POLICE STATED THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED WITH THE EXTREME FORCE OF THE IMPACT.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR MESSAGE: HAVING TROUBLE STARTING AND TURNING OFF VEHICLE. HAVE TO PRESS START BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES OR HOLD LONGER. SOMETIMES, I HAVE TO DEPRESS BREAK AND THEN TRYING AGAIN...START BUTTON LIGHT IS NOT ALWAYS ON. IT'S TAKING LONGER AND LONGER TO START AND TURN OFF VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN GETTING THIS MESSAGE FOR ABOUT 7 MONTHS. I HAVE

AT JUST OVER 70K MILES, I GET THE DREADED "EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM" WHEN I START MY CAR THE OTHER MORNING. I IMMEDIATELY TAKE IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND I AM TOLD I WILL NEED ALL 6 FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, HONDA'S TSB 018-25 INDICATES THE PROBABLE CAUSE OF THIS FUEL INJECTOR ISSUE AS AN ISSUE THAT OCCURRED DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS, YET THEY HAVE NOT BEEN FULLY TRANSPARENT ABOUT THE ISSUE, NOR HAVE THEY ISSUED A RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS ALSO RETURNING THE EXACT ERROR CODE AS INDICATED IN THE BULLETIN (P0301). THE BULLETIN I AM REFERRING TO (VERSION 2) WAS RELEASED IN APRIL 2018. HAD HONDA BEEN TRANSPARENT AND NOTIFIED CUSTOMERS OF THIS ISSUE DURING THIS TIME FRAME, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH MANY CUSTOMERS WOULD HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE INJECTORS REPLACED, FOR FREE, DURING THEIR 3 YEAR/36K WARRANTY. WELL, NOW MANY OF THE PILOT OWNERS ARE BEYOND THIS POINT AND FIGURING THE ISSUE OUT THE HARD WAY AND POTENTIALLY HAVING TO FOOT A $1500-$2000 BILL. DECEPTIVE AND DECEITFUL BEHAVIOR LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED. I HAVE OWNED FIVE HONDA AUTOMOBILE/MOTORCYCLE PRODUCTS IN MY LIFETIME AND THIS IS THE FIRST ISSUE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. THE 2016 PILOT HAS SEVERE QUALITY ISSUES. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A WARRANTY REPAIR WITHOUT A DOUBT.

THE CAR IS AROUND 58K. THE KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED. I REPLACED AND ALL BATTERIES OF THE FOB AND RESET EVERY THING TO THE FACTORY SETTING, BUT PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS AND THE WALK AWAY AUTO LOCK IS ALSO NO LONGER FUNCTIONING AFTER THE KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED.

WHILE UNDER MODERATE ACCELERATION AT A RANGE OF SPEEDS (10-40MPH), THERE IS A SURGING RPM AND A SHUDDER SEEMINGLY FROM THE POWER TRAIN. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE MORE APPARENT WITH LIGHT TO HEAVY LOADING AN AN INCLINE. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BUT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. TWO DEALERSHIPS HAVE NOT WANTED TO ATTEMPT TO FIX PROBLEM IF NOT COVERED BY FACTORY WARRANTY IN SPITE OF A HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 17-014 THAT DESCRIBES MY SYMPTOM ACCURATELY. THERE SHOULD BE A MANDATED RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BELIEVE THE CUSTOMER AFTER REPEATED DESCRIPTIONS OF EXPERIENCING THE KNOW MANUFACTURING PROBLEM.

EMISSION ISSUE STARTED SHOWING AS A WARNING SIGN. AND, IT COMES AND GOES TO EVEN PROPERLY REPORT THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, AFTER 3 YEARS MARK (42,OOO MILES) IT SHOWED ALL THE POSSIBLE SIGNS ON THE SCREEN. HONDA SERVICE CENTER SAYS THAT FUEL INJECTORS WENT BAD. IT TAKES $1350 TO FIX IT. I HAVE PICTURE PROOFS SAYING THAT THE EMISSION ISSUE POPPED UP WELL BEFORE 32 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE (IN WARRANTY).

WHEN GETTING INTO VEICLE WHILE IT IS STATIONARY TO BEGIN TRIP. KEEP GETTING A KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR MESSAGE PERIODICALLY FOR THE PAST 7 MONTHS STARTING IN APPROX JUNE 2019. AT TIMES THE ENGINE WON'T START. AFTER PARKING OR LEAVING VEHICLE IN A STATIONARY POSITION. ALSO, THE WALK AWAY AUTO LOCK FEATURE HASN'T WORKED SINCE JULY 2019 (6 MONTHS). HAVE RESET SYSTEM SEVERAL TIMES BUT ISSUE STILL RETURNS AND THE WALK AWAY FEATURE HAS NEVER RESET OR WORKED AGAIN

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM

EMISSIONS SYSTEM ERROR DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING. NEXT DAY I TOOK TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THE WHOLE FUEL INJECTOR UNIT SHOULD BE REPLACED. SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF 3 YR/36000 MILES WARRANTY, THE DEALER QUOTED $1700 TO REPLACE THE FUEL INJECTORS. I'M VERY SUPPRESSED SEE THIS ISSUE ON RELATIVELY NEW VEHICLE.

THE CAR STARTED SHOWING "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND THE CAR IS NOW ONLY 10,800 MILES! IT TAKES LUCKS TO TURN ON THE CAR AND SOME MORE LUCKS TO TURN THE CAR'S ENGINE OFF. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A CAR AT THIS YOUNG MILAGE! WHEN DO A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH, THERE ARE PLENTIFUL OF SAME ISSUES POSTED ONLINE. WHEN IS HONDA GOING TO THE RESPONSIBLE TO RECALL THIS ISSUE?

KEYLESS REMOTE SYSTEM ISSUE, APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AFTER 36,000 MILES. I'M UNSURE IF THE ERROR WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC OR MAKE IT JUST NOT START WHEN I TRY TO START IT. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED VIA A RECALL IF THE ISSUE IS THIS COMMON. THERE IS NO OPTION WITH THIS VEHICLE TO ACTUALLY USE A KEY TO START IT, IT IS ALL REMOTE.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM BEING DISPLAYED. STILL ABLE TO START VEHICLE, UNKNOWN HOW MUCH LONGER OR WHAT IF ANY FEATURES CAN AND WILL BE DISABLED. SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO DEFECTIVE START/STOP SWITCH.

DRIVER'S SEAT BELT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT IS AT LEAST 10 INCHES SHORTER THAT ALL OTHER SEAT BELTS IN THE VEHICLE. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LOOK AROUND AND SEE CLEARLY WHEN BACKING, TURNING, AND MERGING. ALSO, THERE IS NOT AN ELR WITH THIS BELT. THIS SEEMS LIKE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

SUDDENLY RECEIVING A 'KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM' ERROR MESSAGE. I HAD PARKED ON A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET IN 70 DEGREE WEATHER AT SUNSET AND THE NEXT TIME I GOT INTO MY CAR, THERE WAS THE ERROR MESSAGE WHEN I TURNED IT ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE RPM INCREASED TO HIGH AND VEHICLE ACCELERATED SPONTANEOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED ROUGHLY FROM FIRST TO SECOND AND THIRD TO FOURTH GEARS. THE EMISSION, TRANSMISSION, LANE ASSIST, TOWING AND POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HOLM AUTOMOTIVE CENTER (2005 N BUCKEYE AVE, ABILENE, KS 67410 (785) 263-4000) WHERE THE CODES WERE RESET BUT NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LITTLE APPLE TOYOTA (3002, 2828 AMHERST AVE A, MANHATTAN, KS 66502(785) 539-7441) WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES BUT THE MOST PRESSING IS THAT THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY STOP RESPONDING UNDER ACCELERATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ONCE VERY NEARLY CAUSED A VERY BAD ACCIDENT WITH A BIG RIG WHILST WE WERE ENTERING A FREEWAY. THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY NOT RESPOND TO THROTTLE THE GAUGES SEEM TO RESET AND THEN THE CAR WILL GO. SIMILAR TO HOW THE AUTO STOP IDLE FUNCTION WORKS EXCEPT WE WERE NOT STOPPED WE WERE UNDER ACCELERATION. WE HAVE ALSO HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AFTER THE IDLE STOP HAS ACTIVATED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT FORCING US TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTART IT. WE HAVE TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE AND ASSURE US THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE... BEYOND THE PROBLEMS LISTED ABOVE THE CAR FREQUENTLY HAS ELECTRICAL SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE AUTO BRAKE AND COLLISION DETECTION, I CANT EVEN COUNT THE NUMBER OF TIMES THAT THE CAR HAS SUDDENLY BRAKED OUT OF NO WHERE, NO OBSTACLES OR ANYTHING TO TRIGGER IT, JUST DECIDES WE NEED TO BRAKE. THESE "SAFETY FEATURES" SHOULD REALLY BE REVIEWED AND TESTED BETTER BEFORE BEING PUT INTO A PRODUCTION VEHICLE.

ON JANUARY 13TH, I LEFT MY HOME TO PICK UP MY SON, JULIAN, 3 YEARS OLD, AT PRESCHOOL. HIS PRESCHOOL IS APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES FROM OUR HOME. I PICKED HIM UP, AND DROVE THE SAME DISTANCE BACK TO OUR HOUSE, ARRIVING HOME AROUND 4:45PM. I HAD NO UNUSUAL WARNING NOTIFICATIONS OR ANY UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE DRIVING TO AND FROM THE PRESCHOOL. I PARKED THE CAR IN OUR DRIVEWAY. JULIAN AND I EXITED THE VEHICLE, AND WALKED TO OUR FRONT DOOR. AS WE APPROACHED THE FRONT DOOR I SMELLED SMOKE, AND LOOKED BACK AT THE CAR. I NOTICED A SMALL FLICKER IN THE PASSENGER SIDE LOWER HEADLIGHT. UPON CLOSER LOOK, I REALIZED THIS WAS IN FACT A FLAME. JULIAN AND I LEFT OUR BAGS ON THE PORCH, STEPPED OFF OF OUR FRONT PORCH, AND MOVED AWAY FROM THE HOUSE AND CAR, AND CALLED 911. AS WE WAITED FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, WE WATCHED THIS SMALL FLAME GROW TO FULL FLAMES, ENGULFING THE ENGINE, FRONT HOOD, AND FRONT OF THE CAR. THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED, AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE CAR WAS TOWED OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED WITH THE MONTCLAIR POLICE DEPT. OFFICER ANTHONY SWAN #232 PATROL DIVISION MONTCLAIR POLICE HEADQUARTERS, 647 BLOOMFIELD AVE., MONTCLAIR NJ 07042 ASWAN@MONTCLAIRNJUSA.ORG REPORT # 20-005325 I THEN CALLED OUR INSURANCE PROVIDER, USAA, FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT. THEY HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THEIR POSSESSION AND INITIATED AN ORIGIN & CAUSE INVESTIGATION. WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW. WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN A COLLISION. THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED TWICE ANNUALLY. IT WAS SERVICED LAST WEEK. IT HAS ~30,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER THAT SOLD US THE CAR, PAUL MILLER HONDA, IN NJ, HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE, TELLING US TO REACH OUT THE THE NATIONAL HONDA OFFICE. I HAVE FILED A CASE WITH HONDA, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD SOMEONE WILL REACH OUT TO ME. THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2016 EXL HONDA PILOT AWD, IT BEGAN DISPLAYING MULTIPLE CODES SUCH AS HILL START ASSIST, ROAD DEPARTURE, EMISSIONS SYSTEM, POWER STEERING, AND, TSA. I TOOK IT RIGHT AWAY TO A NEARBY AUTO ZONE AND THE CODE THEY GAVE ME WAS P0304 CYLINDER MISFIRE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO HENDRICK HONDA THE CODES WERE NO LONGER FLASHING. BUT THEY RAN THE DIAGNOSTIC AND PERFORMED REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR AND I INFORMED THAT THEIR WAS A $1,500 REPAIR CHARGE FOR FUEL INJECTORS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I FOUND OUT THAT THEIR WAS SERVICE BULLETIN 18-025. THIS SERVICE STATES THAT THE PROBABLE CAUSE IS DEBRIS FROM THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP OR THE FUEL INCEPTOR MACHINING PROCESS CAN CAUSE INTERVAL WEAR OR CLOGGING INSIDE THE INJECTOR WHICH REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL INJECTORS. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. A FAILING FUEL INJECTOR COULD LEAVE US STRANDED OR STALL OUT ON A HIGHWAY. IN ADDITION, IT LOWERS GAS MILEAGE, INCREASES EMISSIONS, AND CAN LEAD TO A HOST OF OTHER DANGEROUS FAILURES IN YOUR VEHICLE. IT IS MY HOPE THAT HONDA WILL BE REQUIRED TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THEIR FAULTY FUEL INJECTORS.

MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON INCLUDING ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION WARNING, TRAILER STABILITY ASSIST WARNING, HILL START ASSIST WARNING, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST WARNING, EMISSIONS SYSTEM CONTROL WARNING, ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM WARNING, POWER STEERING WARNING AND ACC WARNING WHERE ALL CAME UP AT THE SAME TIME WITH A SUDDEN JERK AND CAR CANNOT GO BEYOND 20 MI/HR WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY THAT ALMOST GOT ME INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH AN INDIVIDUAL ON THE REAR ALMOST BUMPED ME. NOW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I ACTUALLY GOT THE ATTENTION OF MY DEALER (NORRIS HONDA) WHEN THE JERKING STARTED AT THE MILEAGE OF 34,100 MILES AND HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BUT WITH NO WARNING LIGHT COMING ON. THEY DID A TEST DRIVE AND IT SO HAPPENED THAT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN THEY TESTED IT AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENCE OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH HONDA PILOT 2016 AND 2017 AND IS A COMMON ISSUE AND ENDED UP HAVING TO CHANGE THE FUEL INJECTORS AND HAVE SOLVED THEIR PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM THOUGH IS, MY CAR IS ONLY 3YRS OLD AND HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS NOW AND THEY CHARGE $1800.00 TO CHANGE THE INJECTORS, WHICH I THINK IS WAY TOO MUCH FOR A FAIRLY NEW CAR WITH DEALER BEING AWARE OF THE FIRST JERKING PROBLEMS BEFORE THE WARRANTY ENDED. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ALL HONDA CARS SINCE I STARTED HAVING A CAR BECAUSE OF ITS RELIABILITY AND PERFORMANCE AND NOW THIS HAPPENED. IT HAS BEEN A VERY COMMON PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE. I HOPE THAT THERE WILL BE NO ACCIDENTS WITH ONE LOSING LIFE BEFORE A RECALL IS MADE. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME OUT WITH THIS, THANK YOU

RECEIVED "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" ON THE DASH AT 61K MILES. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO RUN ALL KINDS OF DIAGNOSTICS TO LOCATE ISSUE. TECH SAID THAT THEY HAD TO KEEP CHECKING HARNESSES AND OTHER CONTROLS BECAUSE OF ORIGINAL CODE. IT SEEMS TO BE TIED BACK TO THE CONTROL SWITCH WHICH MANY OTHER PILOTS OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE HAD. TALKED TO HONDA SUPPORT AND WAS TOLD TO JUST FOLLOW DEALERSHIP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO REPAIR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THEME AND WHY HAS A RECALL NOT BEEN ISSUED?

I HAVE A 2016 HONDA PILOT TOURING. 6 MONTHS AGO, THE AUTO IDLE STOP FEATURE BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE CAR WILL NOT RESTART AFTER THE AUTO IDLE STOP ENGAGES. I HAVE TO QUICKLY FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN WHILE TRAFFIC IS DODGING ME ON THE FREEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN TIMES. THE ONLY REASON IT HAS NOT HAPPENED MORE IS BECAUSE I TURN THE 'FEATURE' OFF AS OFTEN AS I REMEMBER. I WOULD LIKE A RECALL TO PERMANENTLY DISABLE AUTO IDLE STOP. THE FEATURE IS DANGEROUS. WILL SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE HONDA AND THE NHTSA DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? THERE ARE MANY REPORTED CASES OF THIS HAPPENING AND HONDA IS UNABLE TO FIX IT. SEE THIS THREAD FOR MANY MORE CASES: HTTPS://WWW.PILOTEERS.ORG/THREADS/ELITE-SHUTS-OFF-AT-STOP-LIGHT.157005/ PLEASE FORCE HONDA TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT AUTO IDLE STOP!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED IN RESPONSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH, THE FAILURE WAS NOT EXPERIENCED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND PERSISTED FOR A DAY BUT THE ISSUE SEEMED TO RESOLVE ITSELF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

THE FUEL INJECTORS HAVE TO BE REPLACED EVERY 30 TO 40K MILES IN THIS VEHICLE. HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS NO FIX OTHER THAN TO REINSTALL THE SAME BAD INJECTORS SO THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES ON MY VEHICLE

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM MESSAGE ON DASH. WASN'T ABLE TO START VEHICLE FOR 5 MINUTES. ONCE STARTED WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP ENGINE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH 2016 HONDA PILOT. THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS ISSUE UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE CAR WILL NOT START.

HONDA PILOT 2016 JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING THAT CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO BURN SO IT REQUIRES MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHES FROM THE BURNT OIL. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN ACCELERATING TO PASS OTHER VEHICLES AND SOMETHING HONDA SHOULD BE FIXING SO THEIR CARS DON'T KEEP OVERHEATING FLEQUENTLY AND DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION.

KEYLESS START ERROR MESSAGE PERSISTS UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE DESPITE KEYLESS REMOTE (FOR THE MOMENT) STILL WORKING. MESSAGE STAYS ON WHILE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. MULTIPLE DRIVERS OF SAME MODEL OF PILOT REPORT SAME PROBLEM STARTING BETWEEN 35-40K MILES.

THE CAR'S IDLE STOP IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE RADIO CONSISTENTLY DROPS OUT AND HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE TO START THE CAR AFTER IDLE STOP WAS ENGAGED. MULTIPLE TIMES THE CAR HAS NOW FAILED TO START AND APPEARS TO STALL OUT, AND MAKES ME SHUTOFF THE WHOLE CAR AND RESTART IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS SOME PEOPLE DO NOT REALIZE AND MIGHT REAR END ME. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER, BEEN TOLD THEY CANNOT REPLICATE IT INITIALLY, TO THEM VALIDATING THE ISSUE AND WANTING ME TO BRING IT BACK. I DON'T HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THEM FIXING THE ISSUE AT THIS POINT AS THEY DO NOT HAVE FAMILIARITY WITH IT, YET I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT ONLINE. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM IS MORE WIDESPREAD THAN HONDA IS COMMUNICATING AND THE CAR HAS A FAULT IN THE AUTO IDLE STOP DESIGN THAT THEY ARE NOT RESOLVING.

FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS MY CAR SOMETIMES SAYS KEY REMOTE PROBLEM WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON TO START IT. I HAVE 46000 MILES ON IT.

1. KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR WARNING 2. TRANSMISSION OR THROTTLE ISSUE: JERKY OR CHOPPY ACCELERATION WHEN AT LOW OR MODERATE ACCELERATION BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 20 TO 50 MPH OR DURING CRUISING AT SPEEDS OF 20 TO 50 MPH. BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR ISSUE, FIRST TWO TIMES UNDER WARRANTY, AT WHAT TIME THE SOFTWARE FOR THE TRANSMISSION WAS UPDATED WHICH RECTIFIED ISSUE FOR 3 MONTHS. THE THIRD TIME, SOFTWARE WAS AGAIN UPDATED BUT WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT OF THE ISSUE. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE WARRANTY ON POWERTRAIN LAPSED BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD REQUEST FOR REPAIR AND ISSUE IS NOT BEING TREATED AS A CONTINUATION OF A KNOWN PROBLEM.

AN ERROR STATING "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD. I ALSO NOTED THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING ROUGHLY WHEN IT SHIFTED INTO HIGHER GEARS. A SECOND ERROR MESSAGE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, STATING "EMMISIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM" MY MECHANIC FOLLOWED THE HONDA TROUBLESHOOT RECOMMENDATION INSTRUCTION SHEET, AND REMOVED THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE, BUT TWO DAYS LATER THE ERRORS REAPPEARED. UPON TAKING THE CAR TO HONDA'S SERVICE CENTER, I WAS TOLD THE FUEL EMMISION PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED AND IS COVERED UNDER OUR WARRANTY, BUT THE KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED (AS MY CAR HAS 54,000 MILES AND THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY/36,000 MILES DOES NOT APPLY). THE REPAIRS WILL NOW COST OVER $350 TO REPLACE THE COMPONENTS, PLUS LABOR. THERE ARE MANY POSTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM... SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHT IS ON.

I'VE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES INCLUDING FAULTY FUEL INJECTORS, FAULTY COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM, FAULTY HOMELINK TRANSMITTER, AUDIO BLUETOOTH THAT RESETS ON ITS OWN AND NOW THE LATEST ONE IS A KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, I CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE THAT WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR SENSE SOMETHING IN FRONT (WHERE THERE IS NOTHING) AND IT BREAKS, ALSO DRIVING IN HIGHWAY OR ABOVE 50 AND TRY TO PRESS BREAKS, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. MY CAR HAS A LITTLE OVER 36K MILES AND ALL THESE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED SINCE 34K MILES.

MOONROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF WEAR AND THERE WERE NO CHIPS. THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND GLASS STARTED FALLING DOWN FROM THE MOONROOF. WE WERE LUCKY NOT TO HAVE GOTTEN HURT. MY CHILDREN HAD GLASS ALL OVER THEIR CAR SEATS.

WHEN SHIFTING FROM R TO D, THE VEHICLE WOULD PERIODICALLY SHIFT TO PARK AND THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WOULD BE ON DURING THIS TIME. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, IT WOULD RESET AND YOU COUPDNDRIVE IT AGAIN. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT SAID THAT HONDA HAD THIS KNOWN ISSUE AND UPDATED THE COMPUTER. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AFTER THIS AND OWNERS DEEMED THE CAR DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND THE DEALER AGREED TO PURCHASE IT FOR CASH.
