2016 HONDA PILOT Electrical System Problems

warning engine light came on. Emission control system light came on too. Honda Pilot 2016 Milage 70,662. Vehicle operating normally. Had car parts store use OBD electronic scanner and it revealed a code P0328: "Knock Sensor voltage High". Code was deleted after scan. I was told by tech at car parts store that the sensor was detecting odd electronic signals and sent info to the cars computer, which intern made the computer to display the warning lights on the dash panel. Warning lights were then off, and then a day later, the engine warning lights came on again. There are no physical or audible signs that any mechanical errors are happening, The car/engine is operating as normal. next day; made appt with Honda dealership to check system with their equipment and the warning lights did not come on , prior to the trip to the dealership. Dealership scan (Dec 23, 2025) confirms a faulty Knock Sensor w/code P0328. My internet search of this code reading, reveals possible engine damage, improper fuel distribution and possible engine failure when driving. This issue has been reported before, many times, per my internet search...why no recall? Dealership wants $1,234 to replace Knock sensor bank 1& 2. My original request to the dealership was to check my vehicle to see if it had any performance problems as noted in Honda Service Bulletin 20-100 Nov 24, 2020 problems, but their search revealed the P0328 code . I was charged $100 just for this diagnostic system search.

My keyless start system is going off and on and this is supposedly a well known problem with this year and model and the start stop buttoning going off and car stalling etc. it says to report to you all online.

Following all repair/recall/warranty work recommended by Honda, the Auto Stop/Start feature is again failing. This results in the vehicle not restarting after the auto idle engine stop is engaged while in traffic, stop lights, stop signs etc. This is a random occurrence, but results in a significant safety hazard as a stopped vehicle in a lane of travel. This is a recurring issue, no specific date of incident.

When the vehicle idle is on and I break at a red light or stop sign it has NOT started back up. This has happened a few times. Today at a red light it cut it did it and I needed a jump start to get it back working.

Honda issued Service Bulletin 20-117 regarding a Warranty Extension for the 2016–2017 Pilot and 2017 Ridgeline addressing a Keyless Start System Error with DTC B12C5. Following an NHTSA investigation, Honda extended warranty coverage to 9 years or 125,000 miles under this bulletin. My 2016 Honda Pilot currently has 107,000 miles and is only six months past the nine-year time limit. Earlier this year, the Keyless Start System warning indicator began appearing intermittently—illuminating for a few seconds before disappearing for days or weeks. Recently, the warning began to stay on continuously. Per Honda’s initial guidance, I replaced the key fob battery and even swapped fobs with my wife, but the issue persisted. On October 16th, I brought the vehicle to Honda of Chantilly, where technicians diagnosed a faulty start/stop button requiring replacement. I then opened case #15920037 with Honda, but they declined to cover or reimburse the repair, despite it being a known defect covered under the extended warranty for others. I respectfully request that the NHTSA assist in having Honda honor the warranty extension for this documented issue, given the close proximity to the coverage limit and the long-standing nature of the defect.

Engine developed noises while driving and seized up. Prior to engine seizure, auto start/stop was having issues where it would not restart after stopping at a light or stop sign. Rear unibody rusting really badly due to cheap quality metal?

The engine shuts off while driving and the car shifts the transmission to Park or Neutral.

My 2016 Honda pilot has continued to have engine restart issues with the automatic engine stop feature after taking it in for the initial recall. Upon telling this to the dealer, they said the recall work was already done and won’t address it further. They only did the software upgrade and did not tell me about the 2nd stage of repairs available. The issue is random but happens commonly, and seems to be worse on hot days. It also can sometimes struggle to restart after putting it in park after the auto restart fails.

The fuel injection system routinely fails or misfires. Not only does this cause an issue with said system but it also triggers a host of other dashboard alerts. The alerts display all wheel drive problem, emission system problem, power steering problem, hill start problem, vehicle stability assist problem. This is a safety issue because the amount of alerts especially unrelated alerts is obfuscating any actual problems and making it difficult to diagnose the real issue. Investigation shows many other drivers having the same issues with this model only going away when the fuel injection system is replaced. It's also safety issue because if the fuel injection is failing then the car may shut off at a danger to the driver and the public. Given that it is known and chronic it should be a recall

In my 2016 Honda pilot a lot of buttons are popping up on the screen with no information about how to fix it. My car is having trouble accelerating and is hesitating when needing to accelerate. I was unable to speed up while driving to get to 45 mph Because it would not speed up. All the buttons that are coming up on my car or not correct it’s showing trailer issues and I’ve never once trailed anything with my car. It seems like it’s having extra trouble when the air condition is on as well. I’m unable to figure out what is wrong with my car because all the buttons are not coming up correct when they plug it in for a diagnostic. I have had the alternator replaced and that did not change anything.

My battery was being drained until dead by a faulty keyless control module. I paid to have the battery replaced after my son and I got stranded 1.5 hours from home. All the lights on the dash went off and nearly every error code displayed as well. Currently at Honda dealership getting the module replaced at a mere $840 after I paid $370 for battery installation when my car "broke down". Now to see I am not the only Honda customer with this issue in this model of vehicle. The car started displaying all the error codes about a week before it began just completely draining the battery that was on 6/23. Battery replaced that day and by Saturday 6/28 was unable to start my car due to battery being completely dead. Had to jump my car and take to dealership on sunday 6/29. So was late to work and have been without my vehicle for over a week while they were trouble shooting the issue.

Check engine light on emissions system problem and transmission system problem, there is loss power of engine light, after 2 gear transmission feel like it jerks I don't have save to drive my car, i would like to request a recall to be inspected and repair by warranty of Honda because my car is defective by manufacturer Code are: P0420 (rear bank catalyst system efficiency below threshold [bank 1]) P0430 (front bank catalyst system efficiency below threshold [bank 2]) P0300-P0306 (misfire) P219A (air-fuel ratio variation of cylinder [bank 1, rear bank]) P219B (air-fuel ratio variation of cylinder [bank 2, front bank])

Car sound system distort and no sound after 10 minutes of driving. No bluetooth audio, radio, music working. Changing volume, sound setting, factory reset the info system but the problem still exist. Increase the A/C fan speed and driving through pumps seems make the problem start earlier. Sometimes, turn off the car and restart the car after 30 minutes, the sound system is back on, but after the 10-15 minutes the sound went off again. This problem could cause safety issue as I relied on navigation sound while driving. There seems to be the same problem that being recalled in newer model.

The alarm continuously goes off unprompted while the car is off. The dashboard lights will flash as if the car is attempting to start without any input from the driver. Clicking can be heard from the dashboard during this time. The battery is drained from this continuous issue. Other systems then seem to be impacted. The car has begun lurching out struggling to shift gears. In the last 3 years, all fluid systems have been flushed, battery replaced, oil gauge replaced, and keyless remote entry module replaced. The issue persists. All recalls have been completed as well. When the car is in ACC mode, the battery indicator is on and the flashing of the dashboard indicators still happens (as when the car is off right leading up to the alarm being tripped). Once the car is started , the indicator goes away. There is no apparent clicking or changes in the dashboard when the car is on and actively drawing from the battery.

December 2017 I was driving my 2016 Honda pilot back from Florida and the car immediately reduce speed to about 25 to 35 mph. I had my OBD2 in the car so I reset the code and the car start driving fine and every time I will leave the gas station it will do the same thing dealership took the car said it was a throttle position sensor fixed it and the car broke down two days after getting it. I was told it was corrected for sure this time. However I'm saying a recall on Honda engines 2016 but my engine is not included. In 2024 I took the vehicle in for service and they said there was a recall for the ignition switch however since they fixed the ignition switch I have issues at times starting the car. I've also had to pay to get the electronic steering fixed.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the Lane Departure, Adaptive Cruise Control, and two additional warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the Blind Spot System and Cross-Traffic warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the START/STOP button failed to start the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the multi-purpose camera and all safety system features, and the START/STOP system had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer confirmed that the repair was not covered under recall or warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

Mileage: 60,000

Auto Start/Stop not working at stop. Vehicle fails to restart when engine has turned off at intersection. On occasion, vehicle fails to start and loses total power. Often, it takes several minutes to regain power. This has occurred in intersections, almost causing accidents. The car was repaired per a TSB, but the issue continues, and has for the last 4 years since purchase.

ECM Failure with fuel rail/system pressure code. Safety issue due to no prior issue and all of a sudden engine stalling in the middle of a busy intersection and taking 10 mins to get started and shift gears to get out of the way of oncoming traffic with all dashboard lights illuminated to include check engine light, trailer stability assist problem light, hill assist problem light, LKAS light, and ACC light.

Car stalled at intersection due to start/stop feature. Engine did not restart when my wife removed her foot from the brake pedal and went to press the gas pedal. Engine stalled. After turning the car completely off it would start back up.

Vehicle was fixed for auto start stop under recall. They changed all the parts including capacitors. Within 5000 miles it started happening again. I’ve informed Honda about this from 20k miles. The vehicle now has 165k. I’ve told them on multiple occasions that this is a serious safety issue. They said they have this fixed and they do not. They closed my case even though I asked them to keep it open as they have not proved to me that it is fixed. The only way to fix this is to have Honda program the care to not allow start stop as someone is going to get killed. It’s just a matter of time.

Pilot has auto start/stop problems. when it stops, if the exact pedal procedure isn't followed the car will lurch forward and stall engine. After that is it difficult to restart. This situation creates a dangerous situation as the vehicle fails to pull out in traffic under power. Very POOR design by Honda and should be permanently disabled for driver/occupant safety

The car has trouble starting. It has been occurring for years. (1) It cycles like it has a bad battery. (2) It cycles like the starter is not getting power or is bad. (3) Sometimes this causes the engine starting cycle to completely fail and restart is not immediately possible. (4) The auto stop/restart feature cannot be used because it requires frequent stopping and starting of engine which is not possible. I’ve had many Honda dealers and Honda mechanics looking at the issue and none have been able to determine the problem.

Auto idle restart and transmission is unexpectedly put in Park upon restart. On occasion then car goes into limp mode and powers off.

I have to drive with my idle off because when I drive with it on, there were 4 instances where my car idled & it idled so much that the whole car just turned completely off when I was waiting at an intersection or at a red light or getting off an exit & there were numerous cars behind me waiting. I would have to keep pressing different buttons or drive to park then try to turn the car back on & it would take awhile to turn back on. So to avoid this, I would just drive with my idle off. I did bring it up the the service department at the dealership but they said they didn’t see anything wrong, because it doesn’t happen all the time or maybe because they were just driving around one block, I don’t know. But it happened with me and when my husband drove my car. It’s very dangerous. I finance my car with the dealership and it happened ever since I bought the car. But I bought it as is, so they said they can’t do anything about it.

Engine needs to be replaced vehicle only has 123,000 miles. Diagnostic states sounds like rod bearing has come apart in cylinder 2 Honda Recall #23V-751 involves certain 2016 and 2018-2019 Pilot vehicles. This recall is due to a manufacturing error that may cause the connecting rod bearing in the engine to wear and seize, potentially damaging the engine. But yet Honda states my vehicle is not eligible for said recall.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that the stability control, head start, TSA, and other warning lights were illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer, who diagnosed that the fuel injectors had failed. The fuel injectors were replaced. Approximately one month after having the vehicle repaired, while driving approximately 60-65 MPH, there was a rumbling noise coming from underneath the vehicle and the vehicle started shaking abnormally. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact decelerated the vehicle, turned on the hazards, and continued to drive home at speeds of approximately 40 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the engine failed due to a driveshaft failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact learned of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V751000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) and was linked to the failure. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The manufacturer confirmed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V751000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer opened a case. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

Mileage: 85,000

Our stop/start feature consistently causes the car to stall instead of restarting the engine. This leaves us stranded in or at intersections while waiting for the car to respond to pressing the park and restart buttons. This regularly takes enough time we have narrowly avoided being hit multiple times from suddenly not being able to move. Because it can turn off at any time you are fully stoped we have been caught after having to make a complete stop in the middle of an intersection and then still being stalled when the light changed. Honda has experienced the problem and has only been willing to change the battery. A fully charged and new battery does temporarily reduce the number of occurrences. This has only been inspected by Honda because we have not had an actual accident yet. There are no other warning lights on the car at any point. This is a regular and known issue that they have failed to fix.

When I was paring my phone to Bluetooth I noticed my car started to pop up alerts in accessory mode (low power state engine off) that my Honda was hiding critical safety alerts with the Brake System and Charging System Problem and a Anti-Lock Brake System Problem when fully powering the car most of theses alerts are fully hidden from driver view the only thing I was able to see consistently was the U3006 control module input power fault with my scan tool this is very concerning that a driver would have to do all of this work to find essential hidden driver major safety alerts

The engine shuts off while driving and attempting to accelerate, happens frequently.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? "Keyless Start System" message has been haunting me for close to a year now. Yes, available for inspection and has been by a local Honda service center. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I was left stranded when my vehicle would not start. Battery jumped and I was able to get on but the issue is not my battery, it is the start/stop electrical malfunction that so many others have cited experiencing. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes and I've scheduled an appt. with local service center (again). 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? Yes, Keyless Start System problem which originated in 2023. The warnings fluctuated for a while intially but have been on since my car would not start as reported above. This incident took place a few weeks ago.

The engine fails to restart on its own from a complete stop at a traffic light or road intersection with the Auto Start/Stop function engaged. Vehicle struggles to restart on various occasions. Honda America has an extended warranty to replace the starter.

I was driving the car and suddenly it stopped working in the road luckily I was near my home when it happened it was due to my alternator dying without any warning besides a low battery warning on my car I later took it to the dealer and was told it was due to a oil leak on the alternator luckily I was not on the turnpike or the expressway or I would be dead

We have had consistent, non-stop, unknown and unresolved engine issues from the day we purchased this vehicle. The dealership has not been able to identify or resolve these issues, which include the Rocker Arm, Cam Shaft and Cam Shaft sensors, numerous electrical, fuse and sensor failures and more. The symptoms appear to be the same as those cited with the connecting rod bearing issues but for some reason our vehicle has not fallen under the recalls.

In 2021, while driving on a highway all vehicle warning lights came on. Engine ran at high rpm and low speed. Honda said is was a software update. Charged for update. This seemed to resolve issues. Car is regularly maintained and transmission fluid changed 2/1/2024. In 2024, the vehicle warning lights (in multiple & varying groups) began coming on and off at various intervals. The car stalled while at a red light on at least two occasions. When I was not near home I would stop at AutoZone for computer readings; misfiring of cylinder 2, random multiple misfire detected, system too rich bank 2. Car was at Honda for 2nd software update and lights were off at pickup. Lights started again. The mechanic found the vehicle was sending upwards of 100 codes. Repairs were made (and paid for) at local shop 2 separate times. Car is now at Honda diagnosed with engine failure due to bent rod. Honda will not offer goodwill on vehicle. However, the car has a "soft" recall for fuel injectors which seems to be the likely culprit. KBB in early '24 was $16k. Honda wants $18 k for repair and nearly $1k for diagnostic fee.

This vehicle was recently recalled for the START / STOP in 2023 after complaining about it since 2017. The vehicle was repaired which resulted in starter and all related components associated with the recall. I questioned the repair as if you can't duplicate the failure (turn it on and turn it off) how do you know you have it fixed. They assured me they replaced all the associated components. Guess what the same problem is happening again. Start/Stop system is not working properly again post recall and software update. The US Government should go after Honda on this as it is truly a safety issue when your car dies at a stop and go light and then you have cares approaching you from behind at 55mph.

My vehicles engine will stop running sometimes while the car is at a complete stop and sometimes while it's in motion. Sometimes the vehicle restarts immediately and sometimes it struggles to restart. The problem happens sporadically sometimes going weeks between occurrences. This has caused me to be stalled in busy traffic and has also caused more dangerous situations where the vehicle loses power while in motion. I have taken the vehicle to a dealer and a local repair shop and neither were able to reproduce or confirm the problem. They each performed what they thought could be helpful maintenance procedures but these did not seem to work. Other than the local repair shop and the dealer nobody else has inspected the vehicle.

Car keeps hesitating to accelerate, stalled a few times & is burning through gas extremely quickly. Error code "engine emissions problem" came up, believe this is part of the recall

I have a 2016 Pilot (Touring), and about a month ago, I started experiencing static in the audio. It begins faintly in the background and gradually increases in volume until it completely overtakes the audio, leaving only static. The issue persists regardless of the audio source selected.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, all the warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to veer to the side of the highway where the vehicle stalled and restarted. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined the failure was due to the fuel pump. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer informed the contact there was no recall coverage. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000.

Rolled into a parking lot and the car suddenly stalled right before I could get into the spot - electriconics were still working and what not. Turned the car off and on and pulled in and then proceeded to charge my portable jumper just in case. Came back a few hours later and drove it home - all sorts of sensors were going off but the car was still fine. Once I got home, I swapped the battery with one that I was charging. At this point there was light flickering and more sensors failing. I went to replace with a new battery and it drove fine for a day or two. On the last day, my girlfriend said it started happening again, and she turned around and came back home where it stalled out again. We are terrified to drive this vehicle and purchased a different one out of fear. Please fix this issue, Honda, as it is pretty rampant from the other reports here.

- The idle engine function does not work. I turn it off in general because if it is on, when I stop the car dies and the dashboard and electric functions, malfunction. They turn on and off and I cannot automatically start the car; it takes several times for the car to restart. - Today, I went to a pharmacy and when I tried to restart my car to leave, it would not begin. The dashboard went on and off and it took 1 minute for it to restart properly. - My teenage son is now a driver but I will not let him drive the car because it will stall. We drive to school everyday 45-60 minutes there and back; we are in the car a lot. - When I went to the dealer 1 year ago, they were going to charge me $200 for a diagnostic and then $2000 to fix the problem. I told them if I turn the function off, I have no problem. They suggested I do this. They offered no other solution. - Now, however even when the function if off, the engine is now stalling. - A few years ago, it stalled at a light on an incredibly hot day so I attributed it to the heat.

In 2021, my 2016 Honda Pilot had routinely had restart issues from when going idle at stop. In some situations, it simply would not start again and had to be jumped off. I ended up getting the battery replaced multiple times, but on [XXX] I went to my vehicle to start up and it was dead yet again. I then hooked up a jumper and the vehicle instantly started smoking from under the motor. Within 20 seconds, fire had started under the hood and it caused extreme damage to my home. The car was also destroyed. There seemed to be some sort of electrical system issue. I was able to get my 1 year old daughter safely away and nobody was hurt. However, this caused extreme losses.

Car started displaying "Keyless start system problem". I changed both batteries in the key fobs, but it continued. After about 2 weeks of this, the car would not start. Just clicking and flickering of lights and gauges. Would not jump off or anything, so I had to tow it home. After researching it and checking the brake light switch to make sure it was still operational, and after purchasing and installing a new start/stop button, I decided to get a new battery. I took the old battery in and they said it was good, but I still got another one and installed it. The car started up and has been working for about 4 weeks, but now the same message is popping up again. I am worried that my wife will drive it somewhere and get stranded. I have seen that there are recalls on this on some of the Honda sites, but can't find it anywhere else. This needs to be addressed as it seems like a lot of people are reporting the same issue.

On several occasions in 2024 1 - 2 months apart I have been stopped at a light in my 2016 Honda Pilot I have around 150,000 miles on it. The car will stall out and I can barely make it to the side of the road. All the dashboard lights come on Vehicle Stability Assist Problem, Power Steering System Problem, Emissions System Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Trailer Stability Assist Problem, Hill Start Assist Problem. I had the Catalytic Converters changed about 2 months ago at a cost of $3,000 and this is still happening. Once the battery is disconnected the codes go away and the car drives fine for a while, but not this last time. We had AAA come out and put a new battery, they AAA service drove off, I pulled out 3 feet and the car cut off again and all the lights came back on and the car would not move.

After coming to a stop at a red light, the engine auto stop engaged as normal. About a minute passed, and when I took my foot off the brake and tried to start driving, the engine did not start again. The screen on dashboard the said to switch to park and turn the car off. This car has already received the PGM-FI roughly a month ago, after this happened previously.

2016 Pilot has an annoying issue. When it is turned off, the panel lights flicker. You can hear the relays clicking behind the panel. The headlights come on. Often the car alarm randomly goes off. They want to charge us $800 to replace the Keyless control unit. and nothing was resolved with this issue. It seems they are just throwing darts at possible solutions. They won't guarantee this will fixe the issue. They will not refund us the $800 if this part isn't even a problem ;-( To our knowledge, we don't think we have had the issue occur when the car is unlocked. It doesn't happen every time the car is locked

The keyless control unit module is malfunctioning, causing the car to attempt to turn itself on, and the car alarm to go off constantly. This problem has occurred multiple times and has been inspected by the dealership mechanics. The issue comes with no warning lights, messages, or other indication forms. The dashboard lights up and there is no odometer reading, the MPH is not displaying or any other functions within the dashboard. The mechanic shop received the error "Data on keyless access control unit reach ignition voltage at 25 volts internally". According to the Honda corporate office, there are no recalls regarding this issue. I had the same problem back on [XXX] and Galpin Honda located at 11151 Laurel Canyon, Mission Hills, CA 91340 performed Campaign 20-117-6S100-2016=17 Pilot Ridgeline Start/Stop Switch - Keyless system problem and replaced the engine start/stop switch. I called the Dealership multiple times and was finally able to speak to the Service Manager, Peter Melendez, who was not able to approve for my car to be inspected free of charge. Please note that I have had multiple electrical issues including the sensor system which I had to pay out of pocket.

I have a 2016 Pilot Touring that is giving me a perplexing problem. After having the audio system turned on for a few minutes (regardless of whether the car engine is on or off), I start hearing static noise - faintly at first, then it builds louder and louder until it overcomes whatever I was listening to. It happens whether I am listing to radio, iPod, Bluetooth, or phone. Doesn't matter whether I am listening to music, podcast, or audiobook. The static is in front and rear, left and right. It gets so loud that finally there is no way to hear anything else. My mechanic said could be make a fire because the fan is not working to make radio works good.and you know radio is very important to every cars.

For the third time in less than 4 months, I have taken my car to the dealer because all of the warnings light come on and the car sputters and dies in traffic.

I have an active recall on my honda, the fuel pump. I have had symptoms of this problem over the past year even prior to the recall. Bradenton Honda is refusing to do the recall now, stating my car hasn't stalled and there is no light on. They are waiting until FALL to do the recall but there is a long list. They said they can only do recalls on cars that stall. My car has intermittent losses of power when accelerating. I have issues where all the lights on the dash would just turn on and then it disappeared. Now the alternator is dead and a faulty fuel pump can cause this. I don't want to pay twice for a faulty alternator if Honda won't honor the recall. Honda is stating the recall is not really needed and they feel Honda is making customers nervous. I would like you to contact Bradenton honda and have them honor the recall now.

Honda pilot has multiple warning lights problem. I am an extremely normal and safe driver. However, the warning sign turns on and off again and again. parking collision Warning, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control, Emissions System Problem This happens frequently when turning on the engine or while driving. Even there have been no accidents, no electrical changes, and even the battery was recently replaced. so I went to an auto shop and had it repaired. The car shop also said that there are too many Honda cars with this symptom. However, even after several days, the same symptoms are recurring. Sometimes it's on and sometimes it's off and it's a mess. It's all directly related to safety, so I feel very stressed every time I drive. If a safety warning light comes on while driving, the driver becomes anxious and doubts safety. I google the forum [XXX] ) and found that there were so many drivers experiencing the same symptoms as me, and they were all seriously concerned and threatened about safety. This symptom has continued since this spring. It's stressful every time I turn on the engine. I don't understand why a car that I paid many dollars for has such safety issues. We respectfully request an official problem resolution and recall from Honda. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The vehicle is displaying MIL on these 4 warning lights: lane keeping assist problem, adaptive cruise control problem, collision mitigation system problem, and road departure mitigation system problem. The issue is intermittent and can showing up for days and disappear and then come back. Sometimes restarting the vehicle a few times will make it goes away, sometimes not, which render these advanced SAFETY features useless. There are many users have reported on this issue. Please make this a recall to get it resolved.

Keyless Start System Problem message has recently started appearing on the screen when I start the vehicle. The key fobs do not appear to work to their proper capability either. The locking feature when walking away does not work. Vehicle has continued to drive properly for now but other reports show the vehicle may shut off while driving. Some research shows a recall but local Honda dealership does not see anything regarding this. This needs attention as it appears to be an ongoing issue.

1.Engine connecting rod bearing failed causing engine to seize. 2.Push button start will not work most of time so cannot start car or shut it off at times Safety: Engine locked up while driving down a 2 lane road with no shoulder. Causing an issues with cars traveling in both directions till i could get vehicle towed. Starting/ shutting off issue is on going. Connecting rod bearing failure was confirmed by dealer, but Honda says my Vin is not part of the recall and will do nothing about it. Had to pay for repairs 7K+ out of my own pocket. I got engine replaced and 6 months later start/ stop button issue is happening and they had a recall for this also that they say my Vin is not included. When engine bearing seized happened suddenly. All lights on dash come on and engine stopped. When tried to restart engine would not turn. They start button issue has a message saying electronic start problem.

This is a 9 year old vehicle that should not be stalling and shutting down. I had to be towed twice and have the fuel pumps replaced. Honda feels like they are not responsible. The fuel pump on the 2016 Honda pilot is no good. I should not have to replace the fuel pumps in a 9 year old car. Honda should reimburse myself and several others. Please make this a recall or a warranty extension. I almost crashed and rear ended because the vehicle stop working on the highway. Please help all of us 2016 Honda Pilot owners.

Defective Keyless Access Unit Car will completely lose power Honda dealer confirmed defective keyless access unit Various problems experienced : a) Car is completely disabled b) Main Battery drained c) Flashing External Lights d) Flashing Dashboard cluster lights and indicators e) Anti Theft security Alarm Horn will sound f) Defective Hood Latch g) Windshield Wipers operational compromised

-Defective Keyless Access Unit (dealer kept old unit) -My car completely lost power -Honda dealer confirmed defective keyless access unit -Car not inspected by others, except for AAA who had to replace my battery 2 times due to drainage of power -The problems experienced were that the car start would be hit or miss and then complete drainage of battery happened

Vehicle dash flickers and does a partial starting then stops. The interior lights come on and stay on for hours. The alarm will activate randomly and not stop until you lock then unlock vehicle.

The vehicle does not start upon first press of the ENGINE START/STOP button. Also, MID displays the error message KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR.

The digital speedometer on the gauge cluster will sporadically stop working. Traveling at highway speeds with no idea of the vehicle speed presents a hazard for driver and passengers when approaching turns in the road and not knowing your speed. Valley Honda Naperville, IL checked the vehicle and could find no issue. A video of the issue was shared with Valley Honda. The speedometer flashes on and off without warning and sometimes remains off for extended periods of time. No warning lights or messages and the service center stated that no error codes were stored in the on board computer. Vehicle is available for inspection and a video documented the issue is also available upon request. The date listed below is just one of several dates when the problem occured.

After the most recent recall fix was applied, the keyless start system started acting up. It would start, but died after 1 second I have video of this happening. In this video, it fails twice and starts on the third attempt. 03/01

1) First and most annoying is the start button displays code on the screen "keyless start system problem ". Its done it for about two three now. There is no recall for my VIN. 2) Back wheels brakes make very loud kicking noise when car put in reverse and moves in reverse. It started 4 years ago. I took it to dealership and they said breaks are fine and they don't know why its kicking. In cold weather break sensor displays warning "apply break before putting in park" while breaks are applied. So it can't sense that breaks are applied. 3)blue ray DVD player quit working years ago. 4) Transmission is jerking when switches to third gear. This car has 56000 miles. 5) Roof molding in the front came off while driving. The clips somehow broke and it flew away. This car has been parked in the garage during the day and driven carefully with all needed oil changes and one owner. It should not have this problems. 6) the tires fell apart when car was 4 years old with about 25000 miles on it. The dealership said they don't know why and its was not normal. The top of the tires pilled off in chanks.

The contact owned a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while driving approximately 35-40 MPH and approaching the red traffic light, she depressed the brake pedal to come to a complete stop. The contact noticed smoke coming out of the cowl of the vehicle. The contact then turned on the AC and smoke came through the A/C vents. The contact opened the windows. The contact stated that the smoke became thicker and brownish while pulling into the parking lot of a nearby shopping center. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact parked and turned off the vehicle. The contact then noticed that there was a hole in the middle of the hood, and there was a flame coming through the hole. The contact stated that the hood and the windshield became engulfed in fire within 3 minutes even though it was raining. The fire department extinguished the fire, and police officers arrived at the scene, but the contact did not know whether a fire department report and a police report were filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot, awaiting to be totaled. The local dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000.

Mileage: 51,000

happening more if we left it on, as default, all the time. We have reported it to our dealer, they "cannot replicate" it and claim "that's unusual" despite knowing there is a massive recall for this exact issue. They claim it needs a tune up, and we fear that your 1% of cars effected estimate is off and not including many more cars being effected by this. This Auto Idle option needs an override that could save lives. Please re-open the investigation, press Honda for information they may not be sharing from their dealerships regarding the extent of this (they're probably not documenting each time someone complains about this, since they can't "replicate it.")

Vehicle audio has a kind of its own, on/off/ up/ down all without touching the screen or buttons. Goes all the way to max volume without warning. Definitely a safety risk when you are not expecting noise at all.

Severe risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. At 5:00 am in the morning the alarm on my car went off by itself and there was no way I could turn it off or even start the car. I finally disconnected the battery to stop the car and later reconnected the battery assuming the issue was gone. When I went back to check on the car later, found that the car had started by itself and the garage was full of fumes. I installed a carbon monoxide sensor in all rooms and parked the car outside. The car now randomly tries to start itself(and all warning lights go on and dash indicates an error with all systems) and when it does start(by itself) there is no way to shut it off except for disconnecting the battery. The car is now at the dealership but a quick google search reveals that this is a frequent issue with 2016/2017 Honda Pilots and a part - 38320-TG7-A420 (remote control unit) needs to be replaced and that this part is under serious backorder nationally (indicating a serious problem). Requesting NHTSA to investigate this issue and part.

The entertainment/audio/entire media system malfunctions after 25 minutes of driving, causing extremely loud static that gets louder and louder to the point that you can’t hear yourself think. After several minutes of static the system sound dissapears and cannot be turned on until the vehicle is left off for an underground amount of time.

On December 21, 2023, at approximately 2:25pm, while driving approximately 63 mph on the freeway, my 2016 Honda Pilot suddenly stopped accelerating and I was unable to accelerate the vehicle. During this time, I received several dashboard warning notifications. These notifications stated the following: -Blind Spot Info System Problem. -Stop Driving When Safe. Transmission Problem. See Manual. -Transmission Problem. Apply Parking Brake When Parked. -All Wheel Drive System Problem. -Emission Systems Problem. I pulled over to the shoulder and parked my vehicle. While parked, I was still unable to rev the engine, and the warning indicators continued to flash on my dashboard. I turned off the vehicle. After a few minutes, I turned on the vehicle. At this this time, I was able to rev the engine by pressing on the gas pedal. All of the indicator warnings disappeared with the exception of the Emission Systems Problem. I drove home and parked the vehicle. For the remainder of the day, the vehicle was not used. On the following day, I turned on the vehicle and noted that there were no dashboard warnings. Additionally, I was able to rev the engine by pressing on the gas pedal. For the next 14 days, the vehicle operated normally with no issues. (PS. I attempted to upload the photos of the warning indicators but your NHTSA application is not working properly.)

Components that failed: engine blew up on a Freeway; car experienced oil leaks; air conditioner stopped working; electrical problems- windows and sunroof suddenly open on their own. Facts: In Feb. 2019, I bought a certified preowned 2016 Honda Pilot with 40K miles. I drove it for less than a year before COVID-19 began and I started working from home. Shortly after I bought the car, it started leaking engine oil, which Honda later repaired. In summer 2021, the air conditioner system stopped working. On June 4, 2023, I was driving the vehicle on the 57 Freeway, Northbound, when my engine suddenly blew up and failed in the middle of the Freeway. The sudden engine failure put me and others at risk of serious injury. Since purchasing my car, I had my car regularly serviced by a Honda dealership. After inspecting my car, the Honda dealership said they did not know what caused the engine to blow up. There were no warnings, messages, or other symptoms before the engine failure.

My 2016 Honda Pilot Touring keeps stalling at traffic lights and randomly on the road. We just took it to the dealer last week and received the "we can't replicate the stalling, please bring it back when it happens again." They checked the battery and found it healthy. A couple times, the car has refused to restart until several minutes after the stall and sometimes it has taken several presses of the "Start" button before it finally engages the starter. The car completely shuts down when this occurs. Nothing works.

The OEM stereo will only work for a minute or two. This issue is known across all types of forums across the internet, as well as at dealerships. The reason this is a safety concern, as far as I'm concerned, is that when you are in remote areas of the country on the highway system, you will often see signs informing you to tune into an AM station for road conditions and advisories. If my stereo does not work through no fault of my doing, but due to a poor design by Honda, how am I to tune into the station to receive relative information to road/traveling conditions? These locations often coincide with having no cell service, as they are in rural/remote/mountainous regions. My only recourse is to buy a new stereo, that will eventually fail with the same issue. This issue was recalled for 2018 and newer Honda Pilots, how was 2016 and 2017 left out of this recall? Seems like gross negligence on the part of the NHTSA to me.

The radio and all audio functions (including hand free communication) will stop working and making a constant static noise. The issue make noise the entire time. It is distracting and I cannot communicate using handsfree technology. This vehicle was diagnosed by a master technician at Acura (dealer at which it was purchase) as needing a new audio unit. The issue just began a few weeks ago. I've read multiple forums of owners the same make and model having the same issue.

At 7:45AM EST on 11/30/2023 while stopped in heaving Pittsburgh traffic the auto stop start feature engaged. Once engaged everything in the car shut down. I received a notification on my dashboard that said to put the car in park and press start. It took me 3 times pressing the start button for the car to start. I later took it to get the battery checked and it showed the battery was good. This was a hazardous situation given the traffic conditions during rush hour.

After driving without incident, Pilot would not start 20 minutes after parking. Jumped and replaced battery. After replacing battery, car lost power while moving. Dash lights include hill start assist, traction control, AWD system, etc. Car goes into "limp mode", throwing code P0087 (loss of pressure to the rail). Visited Planet Honda dealer and was told to replace fuel pressure sensor, fuel rail and injectors. Replaced all, car still in limp mode. Back to dealer, told to replace low pressure fuel pump. Replaced, still in limp mode. Phone call to dealer told us to replace high pressure pump. Car comes out of limp mode. Continues to stall unexpectedly while in motion. Will not restart for several hours. Engine will turn over but will not ignite. When it does start it is a rough start, growling and sputtering. Stalls when driving or idling. Before stalling throws all original codes and all dash lights come on. Warranty extension on fuel system does not include P0087 code. After a second and third opinion we were told car is throwing multiple ECM/Wiring/voltage drop loss codes. Will run and drive as normal until it stalls. Will not restart after parking, engine cranks and sputters. CAN NOT SAFELY OR RELIABLY drive, especially with our kids in the car! Newest Honda recall on engine, causing stalling issues, does not cover this VIN. Just dropped off at a different dealer, hoping for solution.

I have been receiving a keyless start issue warnning and my battery has malfunctioned as a result of being unable to start the vehicle in a emergency situation is not safe

On Monday my wife was outside the vehicle with the keys in her pocket. All of a sudden the car alarm went off without anyone touching the vehicle or without her bumping the button on the key fob. Also, on Tuesday morning she walked into the garage and noticed the vehicle’s headlights and taillights were on. The key was not in the vehicle nor did she have it on her. She opened/closed all doors thinking a door was left open. The lights eventually went off. Later that morning she got in the car and it would not start. The battery was jumped and she took it to our mechanic. The battery is fairly knew and after testing it, the mechanic said it had “plenty of juice left” but he did recharge it. While doing other maintenance to the car, he noticed the headlights/taillights coming on sporadically. He could not locate any electrical issue so he suggested I take it to the dealership. This morning (Wednesday) I took it to a Honda dealership and after running some diagnostics, it was determined it was a “keyless entry control unit” issue. The service tech told me he has seen this before in other Hondas and said it is a major safety issue if not repaired. The repair cost me over $1,000, and one I feel Honda should reimburse me for. This was not a normal wear/tear issue (like brakes, transmission, tires, etc.). This is a Honda internal electrical issue that malfunctioned. And as the service tech mentioned, it’s an extremely dangerous issue that causes safety concerns for my family (and other potential Honda owners).

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that the PUSH-to-START button was inoperable intermittently. There was no option to start the vehicle with a key. The key less start error message was displayed. The contact called the local dealer, who stated there was no warranty coverage on the vehicle for the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that there was no warranty extension coverage on the vehicle for the failure. The contact stated that the failure was related to the START/STOP switch assembly located under TSB: 20-117. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Engine Auto Start failure at stop-light. Total vehicle shut-down instead of just the Engine Auto-stop/start. Happens several times annually - first noticed probably in 2021. Then can't restart car until I manually "Turn-off" vehicle. It's crazy - at a stop light and the car then car wants to fail when I release from the brake - when the light turns green. Have cars behind me honking. It's a major vehicle safety issue.

WHILE DRIVING HOME, ABOUT 30 MPH, MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS SHIFTING ODDLY, THE STEERING GETS HARDER TO STEER THE LONGER YOU DRIVE AND IT GOT HARDER TO BREAK LIKE THE BRAKES WERE FREEZING UP.

vehicle died/lost power on interstate traveling near 75mph in heavy traffic. warning lights on dash came on. trying to maneuver through traffic to get to the side of the road was very dangerous. car taken to dealership and had a P0716 CODE stored in the computer. was told that there was a TSB for the issue but it was no longer in effect. they said it needed a TCM update. this is not an TSB issue but is a safety issue that should be addressed with a recall.

Smart Control unit that controls keyless entry, Alarm and ignition will set off the alarm and start this electrical condition that will connect the power and then disconnect the power to the auto. The problem will suddenly go away and then come back again. Its unpredictable and varies in severity. 60% of the time the car wont start when this electrical event is occurring.

The contact was able to restart the vehicle and the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and a software update was performed on the transmission but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the contact was informed that an update on the started software was needed. The update was performed but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but no failure was found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 90,000.

This vehicle has had an excessive amount of problems. The electrical system seems to be failing after much maintenance. Determining if there is an electrical short. The car alarm randomly goes when not triggered. The entertainment panel randomly adjusts volume settings and turns on and off on its own. The sunroof has opened and not closed back due to electrical issue. The gas gauge does not add the available fuel correctly after refueling. Sometimes, the gauge remains at zero or the same number. There is a horrible, annoying squealing sound that is coming from the front lower portion of the vehicle when driving. No one, including the dealership, have been able to identify where this loud squealing sound is coming from. Currently, the AC has failed in 120 degree weather. It has been a horrible experience for our family and we regret purchasing this vehicle!

Speakers static when on audio but hands free are clear through the speaker

Car alarm randomly goes off, then the car alarm goes off, dash board lights up then car won’t start. I bought the car 2/28 and this has been happening not stop since July. Honda said it was the keyless access system and quoted 800 dollar to replace

Problem started after fuel injectors were replaced under Recall. Since December 2022/January 2023 alarm Goes off randomly with headlights coming on, honking draining the battery. Many visits to local dealership nothing worked. In March 2023 they order Starter for replacement in this vehicle. I have to open the hood wide open with hook in place every night to avoid honking. The part arrived June 01st, 2023 with charge of CAD $1007.63. All reserved parts were used up as so many Honda Pilots needed this part.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The auto stop idle feature in my 2016 Honda Pilot Touring failed to operate correctly. This feature automatically turns off the engine while keeping the electrical systems on. I can make the vehicle available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The malfunction of the auto stop idle feature jeopardized my safety and the safety of others. When I stopped at a red light, the engine turned off as expected, but when I pressed the gas pedal to resume driving, all the vehicle's systems shut down. I attempted to start the car by holding the key fob to the Start/Stop button, but it would briefly start and then turn back off. The sudden loss of power and inability to restart the engine left me in a precarious situation. As a result, I was unable to activate the hazard lights, putting me at risk of being involved in a collision or not being visible to other drivers. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? At the time of filing this complaint, the problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. However, I strongly recommend conducting a thorough investigation by a certified technician to replicate the issue and address it appropriately. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The vehicle has been inspected by the police who responded to the incident when it occurred at the red light. However, no inspections have been conducted by the manufacturer, insurance representatives, or other parties at this point. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms indicating a problem prior to this failure. The feature had been working.

The Keyless Access Control Unit (Smart Unit) is defective. After the car is shut off and locked, the dash lights, interior lights, head lights will flicker on and off. The car alarm will also be activated. All this causes the battery to be drained. The work around is to disconnect the battery when parked or not lock the car.

The engine fails to restart on its own from a complete stop at a traffic light or road intersection with the Auto Start/Stop function engaged.

Unintended Acceleration While at a standstill , on a hill, holding a foot on the break pedal , I lifted my foot from the break pedal to drift forward down the hill, (without ever getting near the gas pedal ) The car accelerated at a very high RPM. I pressed down on the break pedal to stop the car, but it was at such a high RPM rate that I was unable to stop the vehicle from hitting another vehicle in front of me, caroming off of it and my vehicle landed atop a hugh shrub suspending it several feet in the air. My vehicle was totaled and the vehicle it hit was severely damaged. There were no serious bodily injuries to any passengers in either vehicle. There are two issues here. The unintented acceleration, and the inability of the breaks to stop the vehicle.

2016 HONDA PILOT ELITE- Consumer is writing to about the exceptional service provided at the motor company after a software update. After the motor company installed TSB 23-0087, PGM-FI Idle Stop Software Update on the consumers vehicle, the vehicle had problems with idle stopping and no auto or cold restart. Consumer lodged a complaint with the motor company. Motor company reached out to the consumer in reference to the issue. Consumer states the motor company went "above & beyond" to fix and assist & fix the issue. Consumer greatly appreciates everything and thinks highly of the motor company "Top Notch" and thank you.

1. My moonroof/sunroof will not close. when trying to close it, it comes close to closing then opens up again. Tried to close multiple times and the same result. Then I tried to hold down the wind deflector as it closes and hope not to pinch my finger. after trying that multiple times, I was able to close my moonroof/sunroof. 2. with a moonroof unable to close, weather could come in and compromise the safety of everyone in the car. Further, holding down the wind deflector while trying to close could injure someone if the timing is not right. 3. Have not taken it to dealer yet. 4. Has not been inspected yet. 5. No warning lamps or messages prior to failure of closing moonroof.

1. When Engine Idle Stop is engaged vehicle cuts off or stalls when you let up off of brakes. - Honda could not tell me why it was doing it. - no warning -car cut off completely in the middle of traffic at a stop light during rush hour. I was able to get it to cut back on after 2 minutes. - I fear for the safety of my family while in this vehicle. 2. Malfunction of stereo system cause a continuous screeching static sound through speakers. GPS and all other voice function stop working at this time.

keyless control module, alarm Goes off randomly with headlights coming on, draining the battery.

When car is locked alarm sporadically goes off on its own also when the headlights are set to auto and the car is turned off the headlights will come on sporadically and drain the battery. Having electrical components come on on their own is obviously a safety concern. The dashboard lights and warning icons will also flicker. There have been numerous complaints of this kind on the Honda Pilot forum Piloteers.Org

When coming to a stop and the engine idle stop is activated the car will sometimes die. The car will then need to be shifted into park after a complete reset of the system in order to start. Very dangerous.

The keyless start systems problem light has been on for about a month and sometimes I have issues starting the vehicle.

When car is off and locked, alarm will go off unexpectedly. There is a repeated clicking noise and the lights on the dash will flicker and it sounds and appears like the car is trying to start itself. Very disconcerting to have an electrical issue, particularly where the car seems to want to start itself. Also can’t lock it overnight as alarm will continuously go off. Problem is all over owner forums for 2016 Pilots. Honda needs to investigate. Dealer tried to fix but doesn’t seem able to identify issue.

The cars emergency horn will go on for no reason and the dashboard lights will flicker on and off. Honda dealer has my car and the part is back ordered now for 2 weeks and they don’t know when it is coming in. I have been reading several issues with this. This needs to be recalled with so many having issues and it being about $800.00 to repair

Auto-Idle Stop Feature malfunctioned at intersection. Engine failed to restart which required towing. None of the systems of the vehicle were able to be reactivated, including hazard lights. This created a major safety hazard, as incident occurred at busy intersection. Honda dealer informed me that this issue was just recalled. I received documentation from Honda that my vehicle was eligible for repairs, but this arrived after the car died and failed to restart. The Honda dealer was able to replace several gaskets, starter relays and assays which Honda claims fixes the issue. There is no way to permanently disable the auto-idle stop feature, it must be manually disabled each time the car is started. I have not, and likely will not, test the functionality of the auto-idle stop feature again given the numerous reports I have read regarding the issue.

I see couple of safety concerns with 2016 Honda Pilot touring. 1) There is no option to disable 'tailgate opening & closing by FOB' in 2016 Honda Pilot touring. Even with an unintentional small press of fob key tailgate button, the tailgate can open & hit anybody (may be the car next in school lane) or anything in the back (may be garage door) 2) There is no option to adjust height of tailgate in 2016 Honda Pilot touring. It can hit top of garage of any house & cause safety issue Honda should take action to recall & rectify those part for human & property safety.

idle-stop feature. When the idle-stop feature activates as the vehicle is stopped at a traffic signal, the vehicle fails to restart when the brake is released and accelerator pedal pressed. I turn on the emergency flashers. The vehicle usually restarts within 3 minutes. I am afraid I will be rear-ended at high speed as I am stopped at a green traffic signal. This also causes others drivers to swerve around my vehicle causing unnecesary danger. This happens weekly.

The instrument panel is flashing all alerts when the car is off. I am able to drive the car. It is unknown which component has malfunctioned. Several Honda owners on Google say to check the fuel injectors. I am hoping you all can assist me with that. My safety was put at risk as the alarm goes off randomly when the car is off. It is bothersome at my workplace. I am afraid to drive the vehicle. One of the alerts that flashes is the Antilock Brake System. I am afraid the brakes will go out during driving. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer. I hope to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. All warning lamps and messages were blinking after the car was turned off. There were no signs of issues prior to turning the car off. Since the first initial flashing of alerts, the alerts now stay on during driving however not all lights are flashing. Could it simply need a software update? I do feel this needs investigating and a recall issued.

My car has suddenly started showing "Keyless Start System Problem" when i start the car. While the car starts okay when i press the ignition, i am scared that the car may not suddenly start as usual and i can get stuck if it does not. - Also when the "Keyless Start System Problem" is shown on the dashboard in orange, it prevents us from seeing any other information on the dashboard (including speed etc) - I thought looking at some videos that it may be a battery issue with my remote. However even after I changed the battery (an original replacement for the battery of the remote start / Driver 2 Key), the issue shown on my dash board does not go away. - After researching it online, it seems it is a pretty common problem with 2016 to 2018 Honda Pilots (esp Honda Pilot 2016 for which there are umpteen number of cases shown on Youtube). However I do not see Honda doing any recall on such an important part of the car. This is a big safety issue not only because of the car start issue but also because the error while being shown on the screen, does not allow me to see any other information on dash board.

The auto-stop idle feature activated at a red light. When the light turned green, the automobile would not restart but became entirely dead with not even being able to turn on the headlights or hazards (this was during the night as well). As a result, my family had to hang out the window to try and flag cars approaching the intersection to keep from being hit. The vehicle was taken to a Honda dealership the next day at which time the incident could not be replicated as either a code was not thrown or the code was not saved. The dealership did state that there was a recall that required a software update which they performed but when researching this only addresses the tolerances for which when the auto-idle stop will be initiated and not to mitigate the "black-out" that can occur. Escalated to Honda and found it curious that various Honda/Acura models have been impacted and that our particular vehicle's warranty for this functionality was extended to ten years past the vehicle's purchase date. When asked if they would replace with a new module, was told no due to the dealership not being able to replicate. FYI - no warning lamps or any other indication was displayed ahead of said event. So now the family is left with a vehicle that could potentially have this occur again.

After 30 - 40 minutes of driving the audio is overcome by extreme static and popping and affects all componets ( radio, DVD, XM, CD, etc) would seem something is getting hot after 30 minutes so a possible fire or melting situation . Honda dealer does not seem to know an answer and this issue is being discussed on Honda Pilot owners blog and it quite widespread

Keyless entry problem error continues to pop up. Car will not always shut off. At times when I’m stopped at traffic light it tells me to put car in park

My car (2016 Honda Pilot Touring) SHUTS DOWN due to the auto shut off feature at least once a month and I am very nervous to hand it over to my daughter in a next year when she is old enough to drive. I have been stalled out at intersections...it is irresponsible of Honda to not issue a recall. People are going to get into accidents if they can't start their car in the middle of intersections! Why is this not being recalled. I understand it will cost Honda a substantial amount of money to correct, but it has to happen. What if you have an older battery that is losing its charge. Does this mean that WE are to blame for getting into an accident because the battery is not brand new and can't handle this auto shut off feature? It's totally unacceptable! I realize we can turn the feature off...but what happens if my daughter (new driver) forgets to push that button EVERY time she gets in the car. I'm sorry...I know some will say it's the driver's fault for forgetting but the potential of that mistake is real and the possibilities could be devastating.

The car consistently stalls out when we stop and the auto idle begins. When we remove foot from break the car doesn’t restart and takes a few minutes of turning it on/off before vehicle resumes functioning. Honda says nothing is wrong but it has been an issue since purchase. It is more likely to occur when ac is running. I have to manually turn off auto idle every time I turn on vehicle to prevent stalling.

2016 Pilot Touring electrical issue, issue with keyless control unit, panel / relays flicker, alarm goes off unexpectedly.

The automatic start/stop function works intermittently when I come to a complete stop or turn off the car for a short amount of time. Most of the time, when I make a complete stop, the Honda Pilot won't automatically restart. I have to put the Honda Pilot in park and restart the engine, which still doesn't work. I have to wait a significant amount of time before reattempting the ignition. If I disable the automatic shut-off feature when I turn on the Honda Pilot, the SUV drives like normal. However, there is no permanent vehicle setting to disable the automatic shut-off. Lastly, the SUV usually won't restart even if I make a short duration stop, such as pump gas or running inside a store. At first this was a rare occurrence. Over tha past year, the Honda Pilot has gotten worse. Now, it's an everyday occurrence.

Beginning in the summer of 2020, intermittently when the auto idle was engaged the engine will not restart but will stall out and requires multiple efforts to restart the engine. It does not happen every time auto idle engages. It seems to happen more in the summer months. It has happened while at traffic lights, stop signs and while idling in heavy traffic. The safety of myself and my family is at risk due to having to put the car in park and go through several rounds of attempting to restart the engine. Just before the engine turns off, there is a flash of a warning light for the collision mitigation system. I took it to my local repair shop. They thought it might be the ignition switch and replaced it. That did not help. My local repair shop based upon their knowledge from other pilot owners said it was an ongoing problem and suggested I take it to the local dealership. The local dealership told me there was nothing wrong and acted like I was crazy. The issue has happened when my husband and brand new teen driver have driven the car. Now upon entering the car we turn the auto idle off to ensure our safety.

Keyless remote control unit does not shut off therefore draining the battery, therefore car doesn’t start. I have been through two new batteries within 60 days.

When stopped at a stop sign, the engine cut off but the interior electronics stayed on. We were unable to restart the car engine , and we couldn’t turn the car off either. Every time we pushed the stop/start ignition button, it would try to start the car, but fail. However, it would leave the car on in the “on” or “accessory” type mode with all the dash lamps on. We were stuck there for over five minutes trying to get it to restart or turn off. We were afraid to leave the car to get help because we couldn’t turn the car completely off. In the meantime we were obstructing traffic. We were finally able to get it started and went straight home. The next morning I took the car in to my Honda dealership and they said the battery tested as good and there were no error codes recorded, so there was nothing they could do.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was stalling and losing motive power. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the starter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired under an extended warranty; however, the contact stated that the failure recurred, and that the vehicle was stalling. The contact also stated that while driving through an intersection, the vehicle stalled, and the gear independently shifted into neutral(N) and the vehicle lost motive power. The contact stated that she shifted into park(P) and was then able to restart the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start with the power steering, oil, and battery warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to Steve Hopkins Honda (2499 Auto Mall Pkwy, Fairfield, CA 94533), where it was diagnosed that the starter needed to be replaced again. The vehicle remained at the dealer awaiting the repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

2016 HONDA PILOT AWD TOURING. 78,706 miles. Multiple incidents of car breaking without warning. Today, while driving on interstate at 70 mph the vehicle suddenly/without warning braked causing neck stain and nearly rear-ended by a semi truck. Similar reports on the internet point to the CMBS on this make and model. Also, the monitor screen goes dark intermittently and the vehicle stalls at stop light. The sudden braking is dangerous and I do not feel safe driving this vehicle. I have reported this incident to the Am. Honda Corporation through their website.

The engine fails to restart on its own from a complete stop at a traffic light or road intersection with the Auto Start/Stop function engaged. Vehicle must be placed in park and attempt to restart. Sometimes restart does not happen for several tries. Has happened 10-15 times over the last 3 years, since around 30,000 miles, and dealership has tried investigating and have failed to remedy after 3 separate visits. Date indicated in this report is the latest occurrence.

When coming to a stop the vehicle engine’s automatic stop/start system stops the engine then multiple warning lights are on and the vehicle fails to restart automatically. Driver must work through a series of steps while sitting at an intersection or stoplight resulting in a vulnerable position.

I have had multiple time of my vehicle's auto stop start feature failing to START after being engaged. When you come to a stop, the car turns off. When you lift off the brake to go the engine cranks for a second, but does not start. The screen says "shift car to P". I am often stuck at an intersection and traffic gets upset we are not moving. There is no warning light or lamp. I have had the vehicle repeatedly serviced by the dealer. They said they cannot replicate the issue. The battery has been replaced several times.

The vehicle does not restart when at a stop. the auto idle shut off will not work. This has happened multiple time since we purchased the vehicle. It has been to the dealer multiple times with this problem. When it happens, you must put the vehicle in park and restart the engine. This causes a problem for traffic as sometimes it is very hard to restart.

i driving home from a local costco and slowed to a stop at an intersection not far from my home. The car stalled and would not restart. After several attempts the car completely shut off and I was unable to even turn on any of the accessories. Ultimately I had to have the vehicle towed to a local shop because I was obstructing traffic and was at a dangerous intersection. I late continued to have similar issues after several battery replacements and jump starts. I had my vehicle serviced at a local dealer and they advised that it was the central power module that was bad. I was advised that this also controls the Intermittent Idle control function that is designed to save gas when the car is idle and not running. The car was was not under warranty so I had to pay for the new part and installation. The car is now experiencing similar issues. The car will randomly loose power and most recently will be completely non operational and jump starts are necessary to restart the car. A Keyless start System error has now been appearing randomly. Their is a TSB out for this particular part but have been advised that code has to be present in order the the local dealership to initiate a repair. I am going to attempt to have the vehicle brought to a local dealer for inspection.

Since buying my 2016 Honda Pilot Elite in June of 2021 I have had innumerable instances of my vehicle's auto stop start feature failing to START after being engaged. I believe the first instance was in Sept 2021 (after the lemon law time frame passed for my state). When my vehicle is stopped, I try to hit the gas and the vehicle does not go. At this same time an error happens on the screen that says "shift car to P". The first few times this has happened I tried to shift to P and that did not help. I figured out that it is best (i.e. quickest, I am not sure it is the best for the vehicle) to just turn the car off. Wait a few seconds, and then turn the car back on and put it back into drive and go. Keep in mind that I have cars peeling by me, screaming at me, honking, yelling, etc. all with my 6/7yo daughter in the vehicle. I am often stuck in an intersection going left. Additionally, sometimes but not always, the radio and heat/ac turn off when this happens. This has occurred far more times than I can count but a few examples in bumper to bumper city traffic, when waiting to make a left hand turn in intersections, while taking turns at a stop sign both flat and uphill (which is terrifying), just while being stopped at red lights and having the light turn green, when taking turns to enter a rotary, when trying to go at a yield sign, etc. There is no warning light or lamp. The warning lights/sounds occur while/after its already happened. Sometimes the radio turns off and the heat/ac. I have had the vehicle repeatedly serviced by the dealer I purchased it from. They said they cannot replicate the issue. They have asked me to take video of it which is infuriating and UNSAFE as I am in the vehicle with a child in traffic, sometimes in the middle of an intersection, trying not to get T-boned. We have changed the battery. The dealer has cleaned carbon build up out of something. They continually say it is not an issue and cannot be replicated.

Hi, today my 2016 pilot elite stop working on a red light. Once the brake pedal was released, the engine stop and warning lights appeared on the dash board: Neautral message light and Battery light. My wife and two daughters were scared and helpless. Cars were honking. After around 2 minutes and at least three tries to turn on, it finally did. We are happy to know that Honda is working on this matter, thanks.

Auto Start for Idle fails at start intermittently. If stopped at an intersection, when proceeding to go, engine cuts off and gear shifts to N, requiring a shift to P and Start pressed before then going to D and continuing. This is always at intersections and the delay puts driver in jeopardy.

Keyless Access Unit failure/malfunction per honda service center. While park and turned off, vehicle randomly turns on to accessory mode causing drain on battery and/or alarm to sound when locked/set. No codes or warning or issue prior or since. This issue has noticed and continues.

We own a 2016 Honda Pilot Touring AWD. For many years we have experienced issues with the idle-stop system as the vehicle fails to restart after the engine is switched off. It appears that the battery lacks the power to restart the engine or there may be a deeper issue with the engine restart system itself. We have taken the vehicle to the dealership twice and they cannot detect any issues. We have changed the battery twice, at our own expense, and the issue seems to improve temporarily while the battery is new. This issue is concerning when the engine does not restart at a busy intersection or when turning into incoming lateral traffic. The engine just shuts off and we need to switch to park to restart.

A couple of times, while sitting at a stop light, the auto stop feature has failed to restart the car, resulting in a need to completely turn the car off and restart it in traffic. We have also had it occur when stopped at a stop sign and not having the car restart, as we've attempted to pull out in to traffic. We have not taken it to a dealer or service center, and have elected to turn the feature off to mitigate the system failure. There are zero indications that the car won't restart. Occassionally, when we forget to turn the auto start feature off "when it does work correctly" radio audio drops out while the car restarts. This problem has been ongoing for about three years.

When car stops due to Auto Idle it then stalls and the engine completely cuts off. Then having to restart the car. This has happened to me an immense amount of times, in streets, freeways and it is going to kill someone. I have on. numerous had near misses where people have barely avoided rear ending me. I have reported to dealer, American Honda and nothing has been done. Every time it has gone into dealer for this they just say they can not replicate it. It is a Lemon and a dreadful defect in this car. something has to be done before someone is killed.

2016 Honda Pilot touring Model Issue: Idle-stop Feature While driving the vehicle and comes on the intersection/stop light when you hit brakes the idle-stop feature will turn off your engine but once you release the brakes the engine wont turn on. To able to turn on the engine, you need to turn off the vehicle by pressing ignition button then you need to press it again to turn on engine (is like starting the vehicle again). Here some stances happened while this idle stop didnt work well. Driver at the back, you're using cellphone, start honking and when they by pass you yelling stop using cellphone. Or simple honk you and when you look they're confused as we're you what's going on. Honda or other people saying its related to battery but even with new battery this still happened. If this will not be fix or resolve soon, this cause an accident. either remove this feature or fixed this issue.

My 2016 honda pilot will not restart after it idles at a stoplight. This has happened multiple times and is happening more frequently (twice today). Both times today I was in a line of traffic and was in fear that someone behind me would hit me. The dashboard message said to put the car in park but that did not work. I had to turn the car completely off and restart it. The second time it took me three tries to get the car started. The guy behind me was very angry, gesturing and yelling. Road rage is scary too. I had the car looked at several months ago due the same issue and they could not find anything wrong when they ran diagnostics. I cannot recreate the problem on demand. It is sporadic. And scary.

My 2016 Honda Pilot has been experiencing an issue with the auto start-stop system, in which the vehicle's engine fails to restart after a stop and/or the dashboard indicators flash on and off with multiple error codes displaying. This has happened many times on the highway and on streets, one time where it would not restart on the highway and cars were going around me on both sides which was very dangerous. I reported this to Honda corporate and opened up a case, which was open for many months while the Pauly Honda dealer in Libertyville, IL and the Muller Honda dealer in Gurnee, IL tried to diagnose the problem. They ended up trying several fixes, including replacing the battery, but nothing has fixed the issue. The dealer also contacted the engineers at Honda Corporate, and they indicated that they were not aware of the issue and have not been able to provide any fixes. This is still an issue today, and the only workaround I have is to disable the auto start/stop function manually, every time I start the car. Dates: - I checked and we actually brought our car into Muller Honda of Gurnee in September 2021 where we reported an issue where "C/S (customer) feels like it wants to die coming to a stop. Dash lights turn off like vehicle died. All displays go dark." They felt that it was "Caused by: Technician verified keyless remote system problem light on dash. Tech found code B12C5 stored in system. Corrected by (Y9300) (6S100) Warranty extension. Keyless start system error with DTC B12C5. BulletinS". This did not fully resolve the issue. - Then in October 2021 we brought the car into Pauly Honda of Libertyville where we again reported the same issue where "Customer states in eco mode the center screen now goes blank then cycles and comes back on." This did not fully resolve the issue. - Then in the spring of 2022 we brought it back to Pauly Honda as more severe issues started occurring. I also opened up Case #13103604 with Honda Corporate.

On multiple occasions, but the latest being 10/19/2022, my car will not restart after the auto idle start/stop feature malfunctioned while at a stoplight this afternoon. The battery is not old, and we recently had it checked because it has been doing this a lot lately. It checked out fine when tested. Something is majorly wrong with the electrical parts when this happens. Lights flash, my hazards didn’t even work today, which was very scary and not safe. The only door that would open was my driver side door. This is a huge safety concern and I am now looking for a new car. This has happened at least 20-30 times, but today was the worst. It took awhile to get it jumped off. In the middle of traffic, with my hazard lights not working. Honda really needs to fix this. We took it to the dealership once about this issue and they said nothing was wrong. Please investigate this issue before it causes injury.

Stop/start failure. Engine fails to restart after stopping

The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle had not been diagnosed. The vehicle had not been repaired. The contact had researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V668000 (Electrical System). The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Mileage: 100,000

The infotainment screen and system frequently shut off as you are driving down the road. It has been doing it for years and I’ve brought it in to the dealer for them to update the software and other tricks they said they could do. It did not help and the problem is getting more frequent.

The start/stop turn the car off and when I tried to restart the car nothing happen. The battery is good and I heard a click sound but it won't start back for a few minutes sometimes.

When at a stop, t he start/stop feature is enabled and the engine shuts off as expected. When I lift my foot off the brake, it doesn't always restart, and I am left stranded in an intersection or at a light, and almost in accidents. Very unsafe. I have to turn it off every time I get into the car. When I forget to turn it off, it always fails to restart.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that after stopping at a red light the auto shut off feature activated and turned the engine off to consever fued. After releasing the brake pedal the engine restarted but immediately shut off after the vehicle had rolled into the busy intersection. The vehicle would not immdiatly restart.

The idle stop shuts off my engine as designed but then it fails to restart approximately 10% of the time. When this occurs I have to put my car in park, turn off the car completely, turn it back on and put it in drive. While this most frequently happens at stop lights it has occured on the freeway when I have needed to stop. The frequency in which this is happening seems to be increasing. I have already had the start button on the car replaced twice. The issue continues to happen with increasing frequency.

Start stop failed in middle of intersection. The car died and would not restart without a jump. Battery has been replay and it continues

Driving in traffic. Idle stop system kicked in to turn off the engine. I let my foot off the brake pedal to turn left in the intersection, and the engine failed to restart after stopping. I put the car in park, and the car would not re-start. Ultimately, I had to turn the car fully off and then back on before it would restart. I was blocking traffic for over a minute with the car unable to restart. There had been several prior instances where the car almost didn't re-start, but this is the first time that it would not restart. I have seen prior notices that the NHTSA ODI is currently investigating this issue.

The vehicle is equipped with start stop feature. The issue is it will stop, then crank for a second or two, but sometimes not restart. It’s a safety issue when you try to move with traffic, but the engine is now off. This issue has been reported to the Honda dealer numerous times over a 4 year period. The starter & battery has been replaced, but the issue still exists.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the engine would not immediately restart after the START/STOP feature was activated. The contact indicated that the vehicle occasionally restarted approximately three seconds after releasing the brake pedal. On other occasions, the vehicle would not restart. The vehicle was able to be restarted by pressing the START/STOP button. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure and a service appointment was scheduled. The contact referenced the NHTSA Investigation Number: PE22005 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the investigation. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 47,000.

For years, dating back to 2018, our 2016 Honda Pilot Elite auto on/off switch operations has been failing. Vehicle will not restart the engine after its engaged the auto start off. Engine and all components including electrical are off. Dashboard indications light up and essentially we are stalled, at risk of not being able to drive. It requires to place the car into park and restart the engine. This is serious safety issue that could result in being struct by another vehicle without being able to move. I have been taking the car to several authorized Honda service dealerships to address the issue. They have replaced multiple times the auto on/off switch, battery, adjusted values and updated software with no resolution. One dealership claimed to disable the auto on/off switch but this is NOT feasible. With the latest inspection, another local Honda dealership contacted Honda Corp Tech Line for assistance. Once again they instructed the dealer to perform all the potential fixes above and to ignore a code P2638. After investigating this online, Honda and NHTSA have opened an investigation June 2022 on this issue after 220+ complaints. There is no known fix, yet Honda Corp Tech Line informed local dealer to conduct value adjustments yet again, at a labor cost to us.

The auto start/stop feature activated while I was at a stop and shut the vehicle off. When I removed my foot from the brake the vehicle stalled and would not restart. Had to place the vehicle in park and apply the brake to get it to restart. The restart took multiple pushes of the start button. This was a busy intersection where I immediately became a hazard.

Engine fails to restart after an automatic engine idle stop while completely stopped at a stop sign.

The engine's idle-stop feature shut off my car while stopped at a busy intersection in urban traffic, and took 15 seconds to restart the automobile. The idle-stop feature kicked in when at an intersection. When I took my foot off the brake to accelerate forward, the car instead turned off. The dashboard prompted me to shift the car into park, put my foot on the brake, and press the engine ignition button. I did so, but the car did not restart, even when I repeated the process 2-3 times. Finally, on the fourth time, the car restarted.

I own a 2016 Honda Pilot (Touring) model. Upon start-up the idle-stop feature is defaulted to enabled. When the vehicle comes to a stop the idle-stop feature shuts down the engine but leaves some features such as air conditioning and radio running. Upon disengaging the brake, the vehicle should automatically restart. However, on many occasions both on residential and freeway the vehicle has failed to restart and stalled. After putting the vehicle in park and attempting to restart it, it does not restart right away. Because of the stall, the vehicle appears to be left in an indeterministic state making restart more difficult and time consuming. After several tries of applying the brake and pressing the on/off button to restart the vehicle, the vehicle finally restarts. When the vehicle stalls, many of the dashboard lights come on... maybe all of them do. The major safety issue is that the vehicle becomes non-operative on busy streets or freeways. The driver will be required to turn on his hazard lights while trying to restart the vehicle. This failure places the driver and passengers at risk of being hit because it is non-operational in an environment/situation where other motorists believe you should be moving. I have made an appointment with my dealership to have it inspected. The problem has occurred multiple times on both the street and freeway. It is not always easily reproducible but has been witnessed by passengers in my vehicle. There appears to information from the public regarding this type of failure on social media.

AUTO START / STOP functionality won't re start engine after it has engaged. Engine won't crank over, multiple dash warnings come on. PUSH START bottom doesn't work, have to put vehicle back in PARK and have to attempt several times to start engine.

We have a 2016 Honda Pilot Touring model equipped with the stop-start feature. This feature has failed to restart the engine while stopped at an intersection 3 times; after the first failure we try to remember to disable the feature however it must be disabled every time the car is started (worse, there is a delay in the confirmation that sometime leads to pushing the button twice and inadvertently re-enabling the auto-stop-start). The first time the stop-start failed was near the end of a long trip (New Jersey to North Carolina); it was dark out and we stopped at highway traffic signal triggering the auto-stop, there was no indication that anything was wrong. When releasing the brake, the car failed to start and went into an "off/stalled" state, leaving us stuck in the dark intersection with no lights (presumably the brake lights still worked). Given the vehicle has both an automatic transmission and ignition controlled by buttons (not a shifter/key switch); it took nearly a minute to find the right combination of button (and brake pedal) presses need to get the car restarted (as this was a highway light, the cycles are long). We took it to get the ignition system tested the next day and everything tested OK. We did not experience the issue again for roughly 7 months. The second and third time occurred in the same drive: our son sustained a compound fracture to his arm and given our proximity (less then 2.5 miles) to the ER we opted to drive ourselves there. The auto-stop-start failure occurred at a busy 4-way intersection; upon getting the vehicle restarted (in an admitedly more panicked state) we unsuccessfully attempted to disable the auto-stop-start. The failure occurred again about a mile away at the stop light before the ER; this time the car would not start back up; ultimately we let the car sit for an extremely long minute (a full cycle of the traffic light) before attempting to successfully start the car again in time for the next green light.

When auto stop/start engages the vehicle occasionally will experience a complete engine and electrical shut down when auto start is supposed to engage; the is often leads to a dead vehicle in traffic at an intersection. Occasionally it will have extreme difficulty with a restart, often only starting after several attempts at push button starting. Fuel injectors and battery have all been replaced recently, fuel injectors under recall/manufacturer issue and battery at replacement lifetime. Is often unpredictable when it will cause issues and when it will operate correctly. Has occurred intermittently for several years with a somewhat unpredictable pattern.

When stopped at a red light with my foot on the brake and the engine in idle, the engine turned off when I put my foot on the gas peddle. The engine idle stop was on. This occurred while stopped in city traffic (6/2022) and again when I was stopped at a red light on a highway (9/3/2022). The car rolled backward. I had to put the car in park and restart the car. I now have manually turned off the engine idle stop.

This issue has occurred twice. First occurrence was when stopped in traffic. Auto stop engaged. When brake was released auto start caused vehicle to stall-out. Vehicle restarted after multiple attempts. Second occurrence was when stopped at traffic light. Auto stop engaged. When brake was released auto start caused vehicle to stall-out. Vehicle restarted after one attempt. For both occurrences, radio was on, air-conditioning was on and outside temperature was +85 degrees. This is a serious safety concern.

My 2016 Touring Honda Pilot has an issue with the idle stop/start feature. I exited the highway and the vehicle shit down as I was decelerating. All of the dash lights flashed and the car would not accelerate. The flashing warning toggled bw engine idle problem and transmission. I was unable to shift gears even into neutral. After shutting the car off, It acted normally for a few weeks. Now, the car is doing it again and I had to have it towed to the dealership bc the lights continued flashing and the I couldn’t shift gears. Dealer says it’s an electronic control issue and costs $900 to repair.

Car has auto engine stop/restart as a fuel saving measure. Several times the car has failed to restart after turning off. This happens in highway stop/go traffic, at traffic lights. This is dangerous, as my foot comes off the brake, cars behind me think i am moving, and then the engine fails as it is restarting. I have to then put my foot back on the brake, put the car in park, and restart the engine before being able to drive again. This happened on 8/25, and 3 other times within the last month. This did also happen perhaps a year or 2 ago, the dealer did examine the car but I don't believe they found any issues to be repaired.

With increasing frequency of occurrence, the car will not start after the auto stop/start mechanism has been invoked. For example, when stopped at a red light, the engine will turn off as the car is not moving. However, once the light turns to green and the brake is depressed, the car will not start and/or will start and then the engine will cut-out. To start the engine, the car needs to be fully turned off, gear put into Park and then restarted. There appears to be something at fault with the automatic stop-start mechanism and/software. My car is a 2016 Honda Pilot Touring with less than 28K miles.

My 2016 Honda Pilot Touring stalls out at a red light while using the auto stop-start. It happens occasionally when I take my foot off the brake and put my foot on the gas. Instead of coming out of idle with 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 and they told me that there was no software update and that they couldn’t do a update anyways because check engine light wasn’t on. Also have a issue with transmission not switching gears smoothly on take off. Jerks on take of. Once again they told me transmission was fine and there was no software update and that they couldn’t do a update anyways because check engine light wasn’t on.

As previously described on the NHTSA website, this model has the 9 speed transmission and it randomly turns the vehicle off at intersections/red lights when the vehicle is stopped. It is different than the engine start/stop system since the full vehicle turns off. It is very random and stressful when it happens since other vehicles are then waiting on our Pilot to get moving again.

When start-stop feature is "on," the car will not start again in certain instances when the engine is shut down after a complete stop. The NHTSA currently has an investigation opened in this matter (opened in June 2022)

The auto engine idle feature malfunctions. When stopped in traffic and at intersections the auto engine idle feature turns off the engine; however fails to restart. I can put the car into park, but the brake remains engaged and the ignition button blinks white. I have attempted many different things to 'reset' the computer. Putting the car in park, waiting, unlocking seatbelt, open/shut door. The last time, i had to walk away from the vehicle with the key fob in traffic. Locking and unlocking the car seemed to reset the computer. This placed me in dangerous traffic. It has happened in a construction zone on interstate, at intersections several times, during rush hour when it was impossible to leave the vehicle due to high speed traffic, and once while towing. Each episode has generally taken about 15 minutes for computer to shut down/reset. There is no message on the dash before , during or after. I now disengage the auto engine idle button when driving due to fear of being stranded in dangerous traffic situations. If I forget to turn it off, it is likely to malfunction. I have contacted the dealership about this problem before. There was no code, so the problem was deemed a mystery and remains unresoved by Honda.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that the auto start /stop feature cut off and the vehicle shifted to neutral. The vehicle shut off and failed to restart. All the instrument cluster warning lights were illuminated. The contact disengaged the auto start/stop feature. The contact called the local dealer but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired as of yet. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 91,400.

Mileage: 91,400

The engine fails to restart on its own from a complete stop at a traffic light or road intersection with the auto/start stop function. This happens intermittently, but has put my family in danger on several occasions. When the light turns green, the car turns off, and has to be put in park and restarted. I have come close to being rear-ended during these situations, as approaching vehicles have to stop suddenly because my car is disabled. I have taken a video of these incidents, but Honda is unable to recreate the issue and has not offered a solution.

2016 Honda Pilot stalls during idol-start stop. Driver is forced to put it into park and restart vehicle. I took the vehicle to Manchester Honda (CT) for service over a year ago, but no issues were found. They updated the software, but it did not help. The issue is getting worse - sometimes it takes multiple attempts to restart the vehicle. This is a serious safety concern as it has happened in the middle of a busy intersection and in the middle of the highway in traffic. It is currently not possible to disable the system and I don't always remember to manually shut it off every time I start the car.

Keyless Start System Problem light came on and I saw that there had been recalls on this.

When the car is locked, the alarm will randomly keep going off and the cluster randomly flickers.

Auto stop/start function shut down all electrical components when vehicle was stopped and the function activated. This occurred on 2 separate occasions.

During several stops now, the auto engine idle kicks in, but vehicle does not restart. The vehicle is at a complete stop with the engine off. This has happened on 2 occasions on freeway off/on ramps, which has been extremely dangerous, with the speed that vehicles are traveling. It has also happened over 4 times at intersections and stop signs. 2 separate dealerships have inspected the vehicle, where 1 was able to reproduce the issue and both times, my battery was replaced, well before the life of the battery. Maybe 1 year into having the new battery the issue presents itself again. I have owned the vehicle for just over 3 years now and I have purchased 2 batteries, that is not acceptable.

Multiple times the idle-stop feature has caused my car to stall out at an intersection. The idle-stop will engage, but when I take my foot off the break (or move the steering wheel), the car does not start again, instead it will try to start but then turns off completely. At that point I have to re-engage the break, put the car in park, turn off the car and then try to turn it back on as normal. When this happens at a green light it's very stressful and dangerous as cars are behind me. This has happened probably 10 times in my ownership period, it is always worse when it's hot outside since so many parts are running (including the AC). I have brought the car in to fix this a bunch of times, they never find anything wrong at the dealer. The last time they replaced the starter button at no charge saying that this piece was known to be faulty. It has happened once or twice since replacing that part.

Ocassionally when stopped at intersections my 2016 Honda Pilot touring edition will go into idle stop mode and not restart. Upon trying to proceed the engine will try to start and stall out. The engine goes dead and I am unable to accelerate out of the intersection. The info dash system indicates the vehicle was in Neutral and that I needed to shift to Park to Proceed. After putting the vehicle in Park the info dash system instructs me to start the engine by pressing the Brake and pushing the Start button. This action is not possible when the vehicle has stalled out as described above and continues to prevent the driver from accelerating out of the intersection. The only solution I found that works is to remove my foot from the brake and power down the vehicle completely. Only when the vehicle is completely powered down is it possible to restart the vehicle by pressing the Brake and Pushing the power button. This event has happened 4 times in the past 3 months on my Pilot. The mileage on my Pilot is ~125,000 miles.

At low idle, car will lock up, unable to drive, cannot put in neutral, will not go. I can't even shut the car off to restart. The dash tells be to push brake and start button, but that still does not work. I continue to push buttons until it finally kicks in. I was in the middle of the road. 1 car almost rear ended me. This also happened while I was traveling and stopped at the end of highway. I needed assistance, but since I couldn't put car in neutral, we could not push. I put hazards on and again, pushed random buttons until kicked back in. This is very dangerous! I will not let my kids take my car for fear that they will get stuck as well. I'm scared to drive it. Honda's response was bad gas or alternator, which it is NOT.

While at a stop the engine stopped as it should but did not restart. It then took multiple tries of pressing the brake and hitting the start button to get it to restart. This meant the car was blocking the flow of traffic creating a safety issue. This has occurred on multiple occasions with no issues found at the dealer.

The auto idle start stop does not restart automatically while in traffic or stopped. Issue has occurred several times, I must turn off vehicle completely to restart vehicle. Huge safety factor when traffic is following again and I am unable to restart vehicle.

When the auto idle stop is not disengaged (the default setting when the car starts is that the auto idle stop is engaged), the car will sometimes not restart when the idle stop occurs. It's unpredictable and scary, especially when it occurs at a light or in stop-and-go traffic. The dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree, and there is a clicking noise. I have to place it into Park, shut off the engine fully (it's not running - I think it's in Accessory mode), step on the brake and restart. Because of this, I make a habit of disengaging the auto idle stop when I start the car. Unfortunately, sometimes I forget to disengage and this engine restart failure happens. I have read that an old/weak battery is suspected. This is not true in my case. This issue has happened several times after I changed the battery on 12/15/2020. Interstate MTX48/H6 battery at $300. It's not just me - it has happened to my wife, and my 17 year old son, when driving this car. At first, I thought my wife did something wrong, then it happened to me. In total, I'd guess it's happened > 6-7 times. We try to be careful to push the button and disengage the auto idle stop. But you have to do it EVERY TIME YOU START THE CAR. If you forget or are distracted, then the problem can occur.

While stopped at a red light, with the auto start enabled, the car would not turn back on and placed the car in “neutral”. The dash info message prompted me to put the car in “park”. I did. It then instructed me to depress the brake and hit the “start” button to turn the car on. It did not after I tried a few times. Finally to get it started I pushed the “start” button with the key fob. It then turned on and allowed me to put it in “drive”.

Today was the second time my car has shut down at a traffic light in the last 2 months. The auto engine stop kicks in and the car shuts down. It took multiple combinations of pressing the start button and turning on/off the car before I could get it to restart. I’ve recently replaced the battery so I don’t think it’s a weak battery.

When idling at a stop light, the auto shut off feature engaged and turned off the engine. When I engaged the gas to start moving again, the engine would not restart. I applied to brake, put the car into park and then tried to manually restart the car using the start button on the dash. The car engine would not start. The auxiliary power to the accessories would not go off when I pushed the stop/start button on the dash, but the engine would not restart either. I attempted to restart the car several times. It did not attempt to turn the engine over, but did literally nothing. I paused and waited for a minute and then attempted to restart the car again with the stop/start button and the car engine finally turned on. The exact same sequence of events has happened and two separate occasions some weeks apart. This incident put my and my passengers’ safety at risk by stranding me at very busy intersections with no way to move the vehicle out of the road. The auto-shutoff feature has engaged while in stop and go traffic on the freeway and if this had happened then, the results could be catastrophic. I now always manually turn off this feature due to fear of this happening again and would disengage it entirely if possible, but was informed by the dealer that was not possible. No one has inspected the vehicle as the problem is not reproducible on demand, but I am willing for any necessary inspections to occur.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that on multiple occasions, the START/STOP feature failed to operate as needed while at a complete stop. The contact stated that the vehicle would shut off upon releasing the brake pedal with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic on several occasions where several electrical components were replaced. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that they had no knowledge of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

Mileage: 75,000

Auto Idle System failure. This has been a problem for several years and continues to be a safety issue. If I don't disable the auto idle feature my car will die when I take my foot off of the brake to accelerate.. The vehicle has to do a complete computer reset before I am able to restart the engine. This has happened many, many times at stop lights when the light turns green and I attempt to accelerate, when waiting to merge onto the frontage road of I-35, when turning onto a main road out of a parking lot when traffic is backed up but someone was attempting to let me into the lane (I was half in and half out of the parking lot). In every situation, there is someone behind me expecting me to go (rightfully so). I could easily be hit if the other drivers weren't paying attention. This is a safety hazard and needs to be recalled and repaired. I've asked my mechanic about it and the Honda dealership. No one knows what to do. I've replaced the battery twice thinking maybe that would help but it didn't.

the engine fails to restart on its own from a complete stop at a traffic light or road intersection with the Auto Start/Stop function engaged. Making it necessary to restart manually.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while attempting to drive from a complete stop, the brake pedal was released however, the Auto STOP/START feature failed to operate as designed. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure recurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the ignition switch was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000.

Mileage: 44,000

Multiple times the vehicle wouldn’t start. The start stop switch is the culprit after 7 months of dealing with it and taking it to dealership finally. Car will cut off at stop light but won’t turn back on. Takes like 4 tries to get it back on. Also at 126k or 128k engine had a knocking sound and needed replaced and it cost $7000 the air conditioning doesn’t work and this is very upsetting this isn’t why I buy Hondas. The start stop event happens everyday and every time I start the car and don’t deactivate the start/stop system

The engine idle-stop feature did not restart. It is available for inspection. The safety of my two small children and myself was at risk as we had to get out of the car at a busy intersection. It has not been reproduced by a dealer or a service center. The vehicle and the parts have not been inspected by authorities. It happens without warning. While at a red light, when I take my foot off the brake it shuts off completely.

My 2016 Honda pilot stalls when my car turns off from the auto idle engine. If I do not manually turn the feature off EVERYTIME I turn my car on my car will stall out when i lift my foot off the brake. It has progressively taken longer to turn the vehicle back on (anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes) I have been to honda 2x for this issue & their "fix" has never resolved the issue. They will not admit they cannot fix it, even when I showed them a video of exactly what happens when I try to get my vehicle back on.

The stop/start feature fails to restart engine and I have to shut off the car completely to restart again.

I bought this car used in May 2022. My wife is the primary driver and this incident happened to her three times and myself once. When stopping at a red light, the engine turns off to save fuel with the auto start stop feature. We normally turn this off, but sometimes when we forget, the auto start fails to start the engine leaving us stuck in traffic trying to start the car at a green light. It takes multiple attempts to restart the car. This wouldn't be an issue if we could turn off the auto stop start permanently. We don't like the feature anyway, sometimes it causes the car to lurch forward when removing your foot from the break while the engine is starting.

The Pilot has an auto start/stop function that turns off the engine when the car is stopped/idling. When the driver releases the break pedal, the engine is supposed to turn back on. The engine would very frequently fail to turn back on after idling. This happened many times at traffic lights and while stopped in traffic. It's much worse than stalling out with a manual transmission vehicle, because the engine does not turn back on quickly. The whole system (including battery power to the car) needs to be turned off and turned on again. This is a safety issue because the engine has failed to start while in traffic on the interstate, where cars are quickly accelerating, and the failure for the car to accelerate with traffic could lead to a collision. It also poses the risk of leaving the driver stuck in a dangerous location without the ability to move the car. I took the car to the dealership and they told me my battery was dying, and they charged me to replace the battery. So far, I haven't experienced anymore engine stalling with the new battery. The car has not been inspected by anyone other than the local Honda dealership. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the failure. The failure first started in 2020, but only happened a few times. Since then, the problem increased in frequency, until I finally took it to the dealership and had the battery replaced.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that after stopping the vehicle and then attempting to accelerate, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle restarted however, there was a delay in the proper functionality of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed; however, the mechanic found no failure with the vehicle. The contact stated that an unknown part of the instrument panel was replaced however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not contacted or notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

Mileage: 20,000

While at a stop light, with the engine "Auto Start/Stop" switch engaged, I released my foot from the brake, and the car died. I was totally confused as to what occurred. After a minute or two I was able to restart the car. I was very concerned about being re-ended as when the light changed to green is when the car died. I had no advance warning of a problem, and it just died unexpectedly as I released my foot from the break. No lights on the dash either. I notified my dealer, who had never heard of this happening, and said when I can, please bring it in. In as much as the incident occurred in May 2022, and hadn't happened since, I did not take my car into the dealer. I can take my car in at any time to be examined.

The vehicle’s Auto Stop/Start feature routinely fails to restart the engine when releasing the brake, turning the steering wheel, or selecting Park. In order to start the vehicle, it must be placed into Park, turned off, and then turned back on by holding the Start button. This has worked on most occasions (approx 90% of occasions thus far); other times a jump start was required. Attempts to resolve from Honda have required several purchases of a new battery and denial of there being a larger issue. There is no indication or warning that the feature has failed until attempting to resume driving (or the vehicle attempts to restart itself based on the vehicle’s self-monitored parameters). The failure to start leaves the vehicle stuck in traffic risking collision and/or personal injury as a result.

The engine in my vehicle fails to restart after coming to a complete stop. My car stalls out and can take several attempts to try to restart the car. This has been very dangerous. It can occur whether I'm stuck in traffic on a major highways or even just at a stop sign. It always occurs when the start/stop function is engaged. I have taken the car to the dealer multiple times to deal with this issue and even tried to get the start stop function removed. Unfortunately, they have never been able to fix the problem.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that the AutoStart function failed to engage temporarily when attempting to drive from a complete stop.

I recently saw an article that NHTSA is investigating Honda vehicles 2016-2019 regarding the idle stop/restart of the car and want to corroborate that this issue does exist. My husband and I bought a 2016 Honda Pilot Elite in late July of 2019. We believe we are the second owners of the vehicle. All was fine except for occasionally, the idle stop/restart feature would not work: the car would cut off at a red light, but when taking my foot off the brake and expecting a restart, you would see and hear all of the electrical turn off--radio, a/c, etc. and sometimes the car would not restart. I would have to wait 30 seconds or so, then restart the car as normal. The most harrowing experience with this happened on a six-lane highway where I was the last in line at a red light. The light turned green, all cars accelerated and left, but the idle stop did not restart, the car cut off completely, and it would not restart at all. I had to wait for a minute or two to re-try several times. This was a 55mph highway, I was in the middle lane completely stalled out with no other cars around me, and my children were in the car with me. I was afraid someone would come barreling along at the speed limit and hit us. We took the car in to our local Honda dealership on 11/21/19 and still have the paperwork, which reads "BMS no supplying proper voltage for auto stop function to operate properly", "Install new battery management sensor", "Battery test bad" and "replaced battery". We all figured it was the car's battery. A year later, we asked and they still couldn't disconnect that feature for us. I have made it a habit to hit the button to disable the idle stop whenever I drive the car. Just last week, my husband drove with the rest of us in the car, he did not disable the idle stop at a red light, and the car briefly cut off all electrical (but quickly turned back on) when he lifted his foot from the break. We still have the car. Please do inspect it. There are no warning signs.

Vehicle died when auto start/stop was activated at a stop sign. The vehicle had to be jumped to restart. My wife and 8 month old baby were in the vehicle alone in heavy traffic and nearly caused an accident.

On multiple occasions the car will stale and not restart when the auto engine off engages. It is left me stranding in the middle of traffic several times. The vehicle has been taken to Honda for service on many occasions and told there is nothing wrong.

For the last 6 months (or maybe a bit more) my 2016 Honda Pilot Touring does not successfully re-start after it's auto-idle-stop feature kicks in at stoplight or in stop/go highway traffic. This maybe happens 20% of the time, but more likely on a hot day or when AC/radio all running high or uphill start. When this happen car stalls and needs to be completely restarted which takes 30 secs and a requires a "reboot" by pressing the start button 2-3 times. To add to the annoyance you cannot permanently disable the auto-idle-stop feature. Instead every time the car restarts it is on by default and the user has to manually turn it over ever time. This is happening with the original 2016 battery from new dealer purchase. The dealership claims it's an old/weak battery issue, but the car has no problem starting on a fresh cold start. This is a safety issue if the car stalls and the driver needs to quickly restart to escape danger, collision, etc.

Was driving the car in a parking lot (thankfully) when the dashboard lights started randomly flickering and clicking like crazy. Then the battery completely drained. The car wouldn't start at all. When I tried to restart the engine the lights would go crazy, flashing every single emergency warning light on the dashboard and clicking sounds for a few seconds then dead again. Had to get a tow truck and finally was able to jump it and drive to the dealer. I've seen so many reports of this same issue occurring with this same model. The dealer told me that its due to a faulty keyless control module that only the dealer can replace for $800 plus labor. The bill is over a $1000 with tax included. The part is on national back order so they said my car will be in the shop for probably 3 months at least. And I spoke to multiple mechanics who said that they can't fix it because the dealer won't sell them the part. I've been without my car for a month already and dealer says no word on the part and it's not covered which sounds crazy because I'm reading of others having this same issue.

alarm going off intermittently, dash board glitching when car is off and parked.

Dash Lights flash, alarm sounds and Battery drains randomly.

This error keeps popping up. Honda won’t fix it. Keyless start system problem error. This is an known error with the specific 2016 Honda Pilot model. I see 100s of people online with the same error. But Honda won’t fix it for free.

Random triggered alarming caused during flickering and clicking of dashboard lights leading to battery drainage. Many reports of this same instance occurring with this particular model. It appears to be a faulty keyless control module that now many Americans have had no choice but to pay $800 to replace in the absence of what obviously should be a recall at this point.

The Pilot defaults to the automatic engine shutoff when the brake is pressed. Several times, my car would shut off at the stop, but not restart when I took my foot off the pedal. When I'd go to restart the car, pressing the Start Engine button would just turn on accessories - it would never engage the gas/ignition. I'd have to give it a few minutes. I took it to my dealership who replaced the push button ignition. I had googled the issue and saw others had the same issue and warning message about the brake mitigation system, I saw that it was likely related to the brake booster/vacuum hose. I brought it back to the dealer the following month as the shut off had happened again and explained again about finding the brake booster as the issue. They replaced the part and the stall out hasn't happened again. It was never a consistent issue. I don't know what caused it to shut off, as it happened in cold or warm weather. Having to press the brake really hard is not a natural step in driving, so I'm thinking there's something wonky with the system. Even when I remote start my car, I have to press the brake pedal extremely firmly to have it remain started when I go to drive. Otherwise, the car will just switch to the accessory mode. This is a risk because the car defaults to the auto engine shut off when in traffic. If a car is unable to restart when the brake pedal is released, accidents can happen

Keyless start/stop button does not work. Honda dealership says it is not active recall but switched was replaced at 88000 miles.

Car went into auto idle at stop light and then didn’t start back up. After about 5 minutes and multiple attempts and restarting it finally started. Very dangerous situation

Car went into auto idle at stop light and then didn’t start back up. After about 5 minutes and multiple attempts and restarting it finally started. Very dangerous situation

Last Fall I was driving, exiting freeway, I slowed down before I got to traffic light, then my vehicle stalled. I looked down and push the drive button (i had the auto idle-stop on), then pressed on gas, but car would not move. I pushed the start button twice and nothing happened. After a few minutes I pushed the start button gain and the vehicle started. I was in the middle lane and thankfully no one was behind me when this happened. Similar issue happened to my husband last week after car was picked up from Honda dealer for Transmission fluid exchange ( I in passenger seat). We were exiting the freeway going into another freeway, we slowed down because there was bumper to bumper traffic when the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was on auto idle-stop on. My husband pushed the park button, then the drive button but noting happened. Then pushed the start button twice and the car started again, he pressed on the gas and the car moved.

Vehicle stalls and shuts off at a stop when engine idle stop is enabled. All lights on dashboard are illuminated and vehicle automatically sets to N gear. Upon attempting to restart engine, It takes several attempts to put vehicle back into P gear and start engine by pressing the push start button as well has having foot on the brake pedal. After doing so, the vehicle will start up right away and can be driven off normally with no warning lights illuminated on dash. This issue has happened numerous times. When engine idle stop is disabled, it does not happen. Battery has been replaced as well as push start button switch per service bulletin 20-117. Software update for TCM/PGM has also been performed as per set DTC P2638 (torque management feedback signal A range/performance) U1211 lost communication with shifter, U0404 invalid data received from shifter. Dealership has not been able to duplicate the problem.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, the vehicle would stall upon the depression of the accelerator pedal with either the Collision Mitigation Failure or Shift to Park and Restart Vehicle messages were displayed on the instrument panel. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer several times for the same failure; however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact stated that upon disabling the auto idle-stop feature, the failure did not occur; however, the feature had to be manually disabled each time upon the start of the vehicle. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer and was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000. The VIN was not available.

Mileage: 30,000

Driving the vehicle started to quickly lose power for about 15 seconds and it stalled while at speed on an interstate. Luckily I was in the right lane and was able to pull out of traffic onto the shoulder. The car had all the lights flash on the dashboard. The check engine, the hill assist, the oil, power steering, etc...i mean all the lights. I turned the car off through its power button and waiting about a meeting and attempted to restart the vehicle. It would not restart. I repeated this action. After two more failed attempts i went and opened the hood to check to see if there was a visible problems or potential a lose sensor connection. The engine looked ok. The main sensors were connected. I again tried to restart the car. The car started and drove about half a mile before losing power again. I repeated all of the above. Again. After about 45 mins the vehicle started even though nothing had actually changed. I didn't do anything. I took the car with the check engine light still on to autozone where they plugged the computer in to tell me my fuel pump wasn't working. Code P0087 registered. The next day the computer cleared itself and has been running. My mechanic said Honda had released a TSB pertaining to the fuel pump with new lines. Unfortunately there is a nation wide shortage of those parts so my car cannot be fixed. I feel unsafe. I dont know if the car will work or not. Its terrifying

No accident. Keyless warning light on. nothing wrong with vehicle. you tube full of same complaints. some cars are covered and some not. have replaced batteries etc etc

The vehicle is equipped with idle stop if I don’t disengage it when the vehicle is started. At a stop when the vehicle shuts down if completely shuts down and then you have to shift into park. To restart the vehicle. My radio/ gps unit also goes black and shuts off while I am driving and reboots.

AUTO IDLE SYSTEM FAILS. AUTO IDEL TURNS OFF ENGINE AT STOPS AND FAILS TO RESTART ENGINE WHEN FOOT IS REMOVED FROM BRAKE. MUST RESTART CAR. ERRORS ON DASH WHICH MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH ISSUE: CHARGING SYSTEM ERROR AUTO ENGINE IDLE STOP SYSTEM PROBLEM KEY FOB ERROR

I received a letter in the mail from Honda North America in early 2022 stating that my vehicle/vin was covered under an extended warranty on emissions systems problems. HONDA TSB 20-100. I took my car in to the local dealer, dealer performed a software update, 2 days after software update, all warning lights turn on in dash and do not go away. Check engine light, Power steering problem , hill start assist, vehicle stability control, trailer assist, traction control. Took vehicle back to the dealership. The service advisor takes the car back and when I return a few hours later he states that his technician informed him the injectors must also be replaced when the software update is done. Then I am informed that due to previous salvage history (from 2017) the vehicle emissions warranty extension will not be covered by Honda and I will be required to pay roughly $1,500 for this repair. The TSB states that all 2016 Honda pilots are covered. The faulty injectors were an issue from the factory on every single last 2016 pilot that was produced. The dealership caused these lights to come on and now wants me to pay to fix the additional issues they caused.

Warning light message for keyless start system. Doors won’t lock. Car won’t start at times. I’m afraid I will get stranded.

Unpredictably when my auto idle is engaged my vehicle will stall, resulting in me being unable to move my vehicle without forcing a prompted restart.This occurs at very random times to include when I am stopped at a stop light, waiting in a drive-thru line, in traffic, or any additional times when the auto idle engages. This is very dangerous because it results in my vehicle being an unexpected stalled obstacle for all participants on the road. The vehicle has been inspected and the engine start/stop button has been replaced twice. Unknown if there were any warning laps messages or other symptoms.

It shows keyless start system problem. Car has 61500 miles.

Our 2016 Honda Pilot recently had dash panel flickering, relays clicking and alarm going off after car was locked up. Reading more about this issue, it seems that a lot of people with the same year 2016 Honda Pilot were having the same issue. Reference this website link -- https://www.piloteers.org/threads/2016-pilot-electrical-issue-possible-keyless-control-unit-panel-relays-flicker-alarm-goes-off-unexpectedly.169315/page-2. Unfortunately, the manufacturing has failed to communicate this to the public, and we had to let our autobody Honda dealership about this widespread issue. A resolution that was explained by some on this website was replacing the keyless control unit, which by the way is on a nationwide backorder. Which is peculiar? This is apparently an issue with this specific model year, and Honda not addressing the issue is a problem. The customer shouldn't bear the responsibility of paying for this electrical or component issue with their vehicle. It seems like this could be a potential safety issue too, if for some reason this affects the computer system of the vehicle. It definitely is not safe, as the alarm is triggered for no reason when the doors are locked! That is an insurance issue, if you can't lock your vehicle because of threat of it being stolen.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Keyless start system problem on the screen when starting the car

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

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.

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.

Remote key start error

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM

Mileage: 49,000

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.

THIS RESOLVED THE DASHBOARD ERROR MESSAGE BUT NOT THE AUTOMATIC LOCK ISSUE.

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).

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

#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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

NOW THE AUTO DOOR LOCKS WORK SPORADICALLY WHEN WALKING AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY EACH TIME SINCE IT'S JUST BEING STARTED.

TWICE NOW MY 2016 HONDA PILOT ELITE WITH AUTO IDLING STOP FEATURE HAS STALLED AT INTERSECTION LIGHTS. WHILE STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT THE ENGINE GOES OFF AND NORMALLY WHEN I LIFT MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE IT RESTARTS AND ACCELERATES WHEN I PUSH THE GAS PEDAL. HOWEVER, IN THESE INSTANCES WHEN I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND WENT TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED. A COUPLE OF WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, UNFORTUNATELY I DIDN'T READ WHICH ONES BECAUSE I WAS AT BUSY INTERSECTIONS. THE CAR WOULD NOT START EVEN AFTER PUTTING IT INTO PARK. IT TOOK ABOUT 2 MINUTES BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD START. OTHER DRIVERS WERE TRYING TO GET AROUND ME, HONKING. THE 2ND TIME, I WAS GOING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND JUST HAD TO WAIT UNTIL I COULD START IT, WATCHING IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR HOPING I WOULDN'T GET REAR-ENDED. I DRIVE 75+ MILES TO WORK ON A VERY BUSY AND SLOW MOVING CALIFORNIA FREEWAY WITH LOTS OF STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN ON A BUSY FREEWAY WHERE DRIVERS DON'T REALIZE I AM DEAD IN THE WATER. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY ADVISED ME TO GET IT INTO A DEALER RIGHT AWAY. I GOT AN APPOINTMENT FOR THIS AM AT 0700 BUT AS OF NOW (11:30AM) HAVEN'T HEARD A WORD. THEY ARE CHARGING ME $125 JUST TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS DESPITE THE FACT I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE SERVICE PERSON HAD A DEFINITE "COULD CARE LESS ATTITUDE". AFTER READING ON THIS WEBSITE AND OTHERS, THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT AND HONDA DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE AN ANSWER. THIS IS THE 2ND MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. THE LAST ISSUE INVOLVED MY CAR BASICALLY SHUTTING DOWN ON THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH, GOING INTO A LOWER GEAR, EVERY POSSIBLE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH LIT UP. HAD TO DRIVE ONE MILE ON THE SHOULDER TO GET IT OFF THE FREEWAY. THIS HAPPENED TWICE TO ME AND A "COMPUTER PATCH WAS DONE". IT SEEMS FIXED BUT NOW I AM NOT SURE AT ALL WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS CAR.

I OWN A 2016 PILOT AWD TOURING WITH LESS THAN 26K MILES. I AM GETTING THE REMOTE KEYLESS START PROBLEM AS WELL AS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK ONCE OUTSIDE THE CAR. I HAVE REPLACED THE KEY FOB'S BATTERIES AND HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE OWNERS OF 2016 PILOTS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE KEYLESS START PROBLEM WITH NO DEFINITIVE ANSWER AS TO WHY THIS IS OCCURRING. SUPPOSED FIXES RANGE FROM REPLACING START BUTTON, REPLACING SENSORS, UNIT RECEIVERS, PRESSING BRAKES, RESETTING SYSTEM ETC... HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY AND FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON BECAUSE THE AVERAGE CONSUMER DOES NOT HAVE THE TIME AND MONEY TO INVEST IN A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE THE ISSUES IT IS HAVING AFTER ONLY 25K MILES AS WELL AS ONLY BEING 3 YEARS OLD.

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STOP-START SYSTEM OF MY 2016 HONDA PILOT. WE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN 2015 FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WERE INITIALLY VERY HAPPY WITH IT'S PERFORMANCE. IT IS EQUIPPED WITH A STOP-START SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO IDLE WHEN YOU FULLY STEP ON THE BRAKES WHEN ARE AT A STOP BUT IT WOULD IMMEDIATELY TURN BACK ON ONCE YOU RELEASE THE BRAKES.WE HARDLY DRIVE THIS CAR SINCE WE ONLY USE IT MAINLY ON WEEKENDS FOR LEISURE TRAVELS WITH THE FAMILY. IT CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 33000 MILES. BATTERY IS FINE. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH IT UNTIL MAYBE IN THE LAST YEAR I'VE NOTICED IT WOULD TAKE TAKE LONGER TO START AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKES TO NOW IT ACTUALLY COMPLETELY STALLS WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP IN TRAFFIC, STOP SIGN, STOP-LIGHT OR WHEN YOUR TURNING IN FRONT OF INCOMING TRAFFIC!! THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE OFTEN THAT I NOW TRY TO ALWAYS REMEMBER TO DISABLE THE STOP-START SYSTEM MANUALLY WHEN I INITIALLY START THE CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE THE CAR WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY DURING TRAFFIC, STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS AND STARTING THE CAR BACK UP REQUIRES SEVERAL TRIES. WHEN IT HAPPENS , THE CAR MAKES A POPPING SOUND LIKE IT WANTS TO START, THEN ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS TURNS ON AND THEN THE RADIO TURNS OFF AND THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNS OFF!!.TRYING TO START THE CAR BACK UP IS NOT IMMEDIATE AND REQUIRES SEVERAL TRIES WHILE PEOPLE BEHIND US ARE HONKING THEIR HORNS LIKE CRAZY TO MAKE YOU MOVE. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE INVESTIGATED SINCE I NOTICED MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

CAR HAS ENGINE IDLE WHEN VEHICLE COMES TO HALT, BUT WHAT IT KEEPS DOING IS THE ENGINE COMPLETLY SHUTS DOWN AND GOS INTO PARK AND THEN THE ENGINE TURNS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON FREEWAYS.AND REGULAR STREETS. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. IN JUNE HONDA KEPT MY CAR FOR 5 DAYS AND UPDATED SOFTWARE SO THEY CAN SEE PROBLEM AS THEY CAN NOT RELPICATE.

MY PILOT ONLY HAS 45,000 AND ABOUT 38,000 WHEN I FIRST STARTED HAVING THE PROBLEMS.

THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, BUT I WILL SIMPLY DETAIL THE LATEST INCIDENT WHICH HAPPENED YESTERDAY. CAR WAS IN BUSY STOP-N-GO TRAFFIC. AUTO-IDLE START/STOP WAS ENABLED, AS IT IS EVERY TIME YOU START THE CAR. AFTER CAR WAS STOPPED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, RELEASED THE BRAKE. RADIO CUT OUT, MADE A POPPING NOISE (AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO START BACK UP), BUT PILOT JUST STALLED. DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH ALL LIGHTS. HAD TO SWITCH THE GEAR TO <P>. THEN PRESS THE BRAKE AND PRESS THE START/STOP IGNITION BUTTON. HAD TO DO THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE CAR WOULD ACTUALLY START. WAS ON A VERY BUSY 5-LANE HIGHWAY,IN THE FAR LEFT LANE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO HAVE OUR PILOT DIE IN TRAFFIC LIKE THIS. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR, ESPECIALLY WITH OUR KIDS IN IT!!

OUR HONDA PILOT SHUTS DOWN WHILE BEING OPERATED, TYPICALLY WHILE ATTEMPTING TO RESUME DRIVING AFTER HAVING BEEN STOPPED AT INTERSECTIONS, MAKING TURNS, RED LIGHTS, ETC. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BECOME UNRESPONSIVE, INCLUDING STARTER, SHIFT CONTROLLER, HAZARD LIGHTS, ETC. TYPICALLY TAKES TO 5 MINUTES TO RESTART, LEAVING US STRANDED IN TRAFFIC; AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS HAS OCCURRED (5 TIMES SO FAR) WITH THE "AUTO ENGINE IDLE STOP" ENGAGED AND IS SUSPECT. 1ST ATTEMPT BY DEALER TO DIAGNOSE & REPAIR INVOLVED REPLACING THE BATTERY DESPITE TESTING "GOOD". SHUTDOWNS CONTINUED; THE LAST OCCURRED IN A 5-LANE HIGHWAY WITH MY WIFE AND 3-YEAR OLD CHILD ON BOARD. 2ND ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE & REPAIR, TOOK 4 WEEKS AND A SUGGESTED REPAIR OF REPLACING THE BATTERY (PREVIOUS BATTERY LESS THAN A YEAR OLD) AND A NEW STARTER @ $1,600; EVEN THOUGH THE TECHNICIAN STATED BOTH WERE "GOOD". CONVERSATIONS WITH THE DEALERSHIP/TECHNICIANS ACKNOWLEDGE THE SUSPECTED PROBLEM ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER BASED BUT THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER DOES NOT RECORD THESE EVENTS. THE DEALERSHIP/TECHNICIANS STATE THEY REPORTED AND RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE VIA THEIR IN-HOUSE TECH SITE BUT WE WERE TOLD THIS ISSUE IS UNKNOWN AND ISOLATED TO OUR CAR. OUR SOLUTION BEING A MUTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGE, UNNECESSARY REPAIR. I DEBATED THEIR $1,600 "SOLUTION" AND QUESTIONED WARRANTY COVERAGE AND WAS INFORMED IF NOT DONE, WOULD BE RECORDED AS "CUSTOMER REFUSES REPAIR". WHEN I ASKED IF THE $1,600 WOULD BE REFUNDED WHEN THE ISSUE RESUMED (SINCE WELL AGREED THE SUGGESTED REPAIR WAS NOT THE SOLUTION), I WAS INFORMED "NO". WE HAVE NOT DONE THE REPAIR. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM AS WE WERE TOLD AND IS EVEN RECORDED HERE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE NUMEROUS TIMES, VERBATIM TO OUR EXPERIENCE.

I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT FOR THE PUSH TO START BUTTON. I WOULD LIKE FOR HONDA TO OWN THIS PROBLEM AND COVER THE REPAIR FOR THIS ERROR. WHEN I TRY TO START MY CAR IT TAKES ABOUT A MINUTE FOR ME TO GET IT STARTED BECAUSE IT WON'T START AND THE SAME THING FOR WHEN I NEED TO SHUT IT OFF.

AFTER DOING THE RESEARCH FROM INTERNET, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS CAR AFTER 30K OR AFTER 3 YEARS. WHAT I WOULD LIKE IS TO HAVE THE HONDA DEALER TO FIX THIS ISSUE WITHOUT COST (RECALL) BECAUSE THE WARRANTY OF THIS CAR IS ALREADY EXPIRED.

THE HONDA PILOT HAS A FEATURE CALLED AUTO ENGINE IDLE STOP. TO MEET EMISSION STANDARDS, THIS FEATURE PUTS THE ENGINE INTO A STOP/OFF MODE WHEN YOU BRAKE FOR MORE THAN 3 SECONDS. HOWEVER, THIS FEATURE SOMETIMES CAUSES THE CAR BATTERY TO FAIL AND THE CAR TO STALL. THIS COULD HAPPEN WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR ON A HIGHWAY STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. IF THE BATTERY HASN'T HAD ENOUGH TIME TO RECHARGE, THE CAR MIGHT STALL AND NEED TO BE COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN, WAIT A WHILE AND MAYBE WILL RESTART. WE BOUGHT OUR CAR IN LATE 2015. THE ISSUE PRESENTED ITSELF BY 2016/2017, MOSTLY AS BRIEF BLIPS AND THE CAR WOULD RESTART. IN SUMMER 2018, AFTER REPEATED VISITS TO HONDA AND NUMEROUS TIMES OF THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, WE CHOSE TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. OUR HONDA SERVICE CENTERS KEPT TELLING US THAT THE BATTERY TESTS SHOWED IT WAS FINE AND THAT THE FEATURE ISN'T SUPPOSE TO ENGAGE IF THE BATTERY DOESN'T HAVE "ENOUGH JUICE" TO RESTART. BUT CLEARLY, THAT DOESN'T WORK, BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD INDEED COMPLETELY STALL AND NEED TO TRY TO RESTART. I ONCE HAD TO WAIT FIVE MINUTES STUCK AT A LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A 3 LANE ROAD, AND MY CAR FINALLY RESTARTED. BUT ONCE WE PAID TO REPLACE THE BATTERY (THAT SUPPOSEDLY WAS FINE), THE CAR DIDN'T BLIP OR STALL. BUT ONE YEAR LATER, IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL JUST BLIP, WHERE ALL THE LIGHTS, RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONING WILL BRIEFLY CUT OUT AND THEN COME BACK ON AS THE FEATURE RE-ENGAGES THE ENGINE. BUT SOMETIMES, IT JUST WON'T RESTART. THERE IS A BUTTON YOU CAN HIT TO DISABLE THE AUTO ENGINE IDLE STOP FEATURE. BUT YOU MUST REMEMBER TO HIT EVERY TIME YOU START THE CAR. IF YOU FORGET, ALL IT TAKES IS STOPPING AT ONE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE CAR COULD STALL. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ONLINE REPORTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THIS FEATURE.

WHEN ENGINE AUTO IDLE IS ENGAGED, INSTEAD OF RE-ENGAGING WHEN FOOT REMOVED FROM BRAKE, THE CAR STALLS IN ONE OF THREE WAYS. GRADE 1, THE FAN AND RADIO SHUT OFF BUT THE ENGINE ENGAGES ONCE GAS IS APPLIED. GRADE 2, THE FAN, RADIO AND ENGINE SHUT OFF BUT RESTART ONCE GAS IS APPLIED. VARIOUS WARNING LIGHTS THEN APPEAR ON THE DASH. GRADE 3, EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF AND THE CAR WILL NOT RESTART UNTIL YOU SHIFT INTO PARK AND PRESS THE START BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT HAPPENS AT INTERSECTIONS WHEN CARS EXPECT YOU TO BE MOVING AND YOU'RE STALLED OUT. I HAVE VIDEO OF THESE INCIDENTS AND HAVE PROVIDED THEM TO THE HONDA DEALER.

I ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND IT WOULD NOT DO SO. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON IN ORDER TO PLACE THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION.

NO POWER, NO ABILITY PUT CAR IN PARK OR DRIVE. ON/OFF SWITCH NO REACTION TO TURN CAR ON OR OFF. NO BRAKE FUNCTION. I SAT IN AN UNRESPONSIVE VEHICLE AT VERY BUSY INTERCETION. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS STOPPED AND ONLY LAID ON THEIR HORN FOR 2 RED LIGHT CYCLES RATHER THAN HITTING ME. I ACTIVATED MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS YET OTHER DRIVER DID NOT RESPOND. I REPETITIVELY KEPT PUSHING POWER BUTTON IN EFFORT FOR CAR TO RESPOND AND RESTART, EVENTUALLY DID AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OFF. HAVE APPT WITH DEALERSHIP IN AM.

KEY FOB SYSTEM ERROR

Mileage: 110,000

WHEN MY CAR STOPS WHILE APPLYING THE BREAK PADDLE COMPLETELY, THE CAR MAY START 'IDLE STOP' WHICH TURNS OFF THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE MAY RESTART EITHER BY RELEASING THE BREAK PADDLE OR WHEN AC OR BATTERY NEEDS THE ENGINE TO TURN BACK ON. WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES WHERE THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY RESET THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTTING DOWN ALL THE LIGHTS, DISPLAYS, RADIO AND ENGINE, AND IT MAY OR MAY NOT RESTART THE ENGINE. SOMETIMES, IT REQUIRES MULTIPLE PRESSES OF THE ENGINE START BUTTON WHICH MAY TAKE MULTIPLE SECONDS AT A STOP. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD WHERE CARS BEHIND MAY REAR END US WHILE WE TRY TO RESTART. TODAY, IT HAPPENED TO MY WIFE IN MOTION AFTER THE ENGINE RESTARTED AND SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I WONDER IF THIS COULD EVEN HAPPEN ON A RAILWAY... WE REPORTED IT TWICE AND TRIED FIXING IT AT A HONDA SHOP (1ST TEXAS HONDA @ AUSTIN, TX), THEY MADE MULTIPLE CLAIMS INCLUDING BAD BATTERY THAT REQUIRED REPLACING IT (ISSUE STILL REOCCURRED), BLAMING IT ON A POWER CABLE THAT GOES TO AN OPTIONAL TRAILER HITCH CONNECTION THAT IS NOT IN USE, BUT HAVE NOT TRIED TRIED REPLACING THE FAULTY IDLE START/ENGINE MODULE. SEARCHING THRU THE INTERNET, THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/PILOT/2016/ENGINE/AUTO_IDLE_STOP_DOES_NOT_WORK.SHTML THERE IS NO RECALL OR A ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS REPORTED BY HONDA TRYING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE FOR THE OWNERS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, TRYING TO TAKE A VIDEO/PHOTO WHEN IT HAPPENS IS NOT SIMPLE, LARGELY, BECAUSE WE DON'T HOLD OUR PHONES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AND SECONDLY, IT'S RANDOM EVENT WHEN IT HAPPENS... THE ISSUE REPEATS MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK, BUT NOT ON EVERY STOP. WORSE AT HOT TEMPERATURES.

NO HESITATION UPON STARTING EITHER OR ANY WEIRD SOUNDS, NOR ANY OTHER WARNING LIGHTS ON DISPLAY. VEHICLE PURCHASED AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WITH ABOUT 20000K ON IT IN 2018.

REAPPEARS AFTER ANOTHER WEEK OR SO.

Mileage: 37,000

THE ERROR IS KEYLESS START PROBLEM THIS MESSAGE STAYS ON UNTIL CAR SHUTS OFF.

WHEN STARTING PUSH BUTTON IGNITION, KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ALERT APPEARS ON DASHBOARD SCREEN. SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START CAR. HONDA DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM AND WAS NOT ABLE TO FIX. PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES, BUT NOT EVERY TIME I TRY TO START CAR.

Mileage: 760,000

THE ENGINE IDLE STOP FEATURE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT A STOP THE ENGINE TURNS OFF LIKE INTENDED. SOMETIMES THE RADIO TURNS OFF AND RESTARTS IMMEDIATELY. RANDOMLY WHEN YOU TAKE YOU FOOT OFF THE GAS THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND ALL FUNCTIONS TURN OFF. IN ORDER TO TURN THE VEHICLE YOU NEED TO PRESS THE IGNITION BUTTON AND SET THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE MOST RECENT TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON THE FREEWAY AT A CREST. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE.

Mileage: 37,700

THE KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR HAS COME ON RECENTLY AND GOES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY IN THE KEY FOBS AND THE ERROR STILL COMES UP. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I HAVE LEARNED THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IN A LOT OF CASES THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN DURING OPERATION DUE TO THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT COULD LEAD TO GREAT BODILY INJURY AND /OR DEATH. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND AND REMEDIED. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THROUGH NHTSA ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM.

Mileage: 25,000

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND HONDA HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE. IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AND ON CITY STREETS. THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND MY CAR HAS AN ENGINE IDLE SO THAT WHEN TRAFFIC COMES TO A HALT THE ENGINE CUTS OUT TO CONSERVE GAS. ON MANY A OCCASION IT WILL NOT JUST AUTOMATICALLY START BUT WILL INSTEAD KICK THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY AS IT WILL THEN NOT START AS IF THE BATTERY IS DEAD BUT THE BATTERY IF FINE AND HAS BEEN REPLACED AS HONDA THOUGHT THAT WOULD RESOLVE IT. THEY ALSO REPLACED ALL THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THIS ALSO HAS NOT STOPPED THE PROBLEM. I FEEL I AM GOING TO BE KILLED IN THIS CAR. I HAVE CASE # 08783155 WITH HONDA AND AFTER HAVING JUST SPOKE TO THEM THEY ADVISED ME TO FILM PROBLEM!! YES THEY EXPECT ME TO GET MY PHONE OUT AND FILM WHILE MY VEHICLE HAS COME TO A HALT IN MOVING TRAFFIC!

MY VEHICLE RECEIVED THE "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" ON THE DASH AND HAS NOT GONE AWAY AFTER TWO DEALERSHIP VISITS AND $500 LATER. AFTER PERFORMING SOME RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH MOST HONDA PILOT OWNERS. THE PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME YOU ARE TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE.

KEYLESS START PROBLEM - COULD NOT START THE ENGINE.

CAR WAS ENGAGED IN "IDLE-STOP" AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. FOLLOWING DRIVER'S LIFTING OF FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS LIT UP, AND CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO BE TURNED BACK ON FOR 1-2 MINUTES. CAR WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET, AND A LARGE VEHICLE NEARLY REAR-ENDED THE DEAD CAR. DRIVER WAS THEREAFTER ABLE TO FOLLOW ON-SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESTARTING VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN SEVERAL INITIAL ATTEMPTS. (IN OTHER WORDS, CAR WAS NOT STARTING DESPITE DRIVER'S COMPLYING WITH INSTRUCTIONS. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, CAR HAD IN SOME INSTANCES VERY MOMENTARILY "CUT OUT" FOLLOWING AN "IDLE-START." DRIVER NOTICED A "POPPING" AT THIS TIME. BUT THE PROBLEM, WHICH THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER CLAIM TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AND ARE "UNABLE TO REPLICATE" DURING SERVICE, IS CLEARLY BECOMING WORSE AND MORE DANGEROUS OVER TIME. THE BEST THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT APPEARS TO BE ABLE TO DO IN DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM IS TO SUGGEST BATTERY RECHARGE OR REPLACEMENT, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN AN ISSUE FOR OUR CAR AND IS APPARENTLY A COMMON SUGGESTION FROM DEALERSHIPS. THIS IS AN APPARENTLY BIGGER ISSUE THAN HONDA HAS BEEN WILLING TO ADMIT.

I DO NOT WISH TO PAY FOR THE DEALER TO FIX SOMETHING THAT MAY NOT BE FIXABLE. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS?

WHEN I STARTED IT 5 MINUTES LATER, THE CAR STARTED AND RAN FINE, BUT THE SYSTEM ERROR LIGHT CONTINUES. WE RECENTLY HAD THE PILOT AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE AN EMISSION ERROR LIGHT CAME ON AND SUDDENLY THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OR ACCELERATE PROPERLY. ALL THREE SENSORS WERE REPLACED (ONLY THE DAMAGED ONE WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY) AND THE CAR WAS AGAIN RUNNING FINE, BUT NOW THIS NEW ERROR LIGHT.

MY 2016 HONDA PILOT IS SHOWING THE MESSAGE ON THE DASH WHICH SAYS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE KEYLESS START SYSTEM. IT COMES AND GOES FROM TIME TO TIME, AND I'VE CHANGED THE FOB BATTERIES WITH NO FIX. I HAD THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE PUSH BUTTON CHECKED OUT OK, AND SUGGESTED CHANGING OUT THE TPMS/KEYLESS ACCESS CONTROL UNIT AS A POSSIBLE FIX. AT $600.00 COST AND MAYBE NO FIX, I'M NOT HAPPY. MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM, AND ITS TIME IN MY OPINION FOR HONDA TO HAVE A RECALL TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE ONLY OCCURS UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND STAYS ON UNTIL SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE.

Mileage: 61,000

OUR 2016 HONDA PILOT HAS THE AUTO STOP/START FEATURE ( USED FOR SAVING GAS WHEN YOU ARE AT A COMPLETE STOP). THERE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE THAT IS DANGEROUS- AS YOU ARE DRIVING AND STOP AT A RED LIGHT, THE CAR WITH ENGAGE IN THE STOP/START , BUT WILL THEN JUST TURN OFF THE CAR. IT THEN ASKS FOR YOU TO PUT YOUR CAR IN PARK. WHEN YOU DO THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNS OFF, BUT THEN WONT ALLOW YOU TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON. TAKES AROUND 30 SECONDS FOR THE CAR TO TURN BACK ON, BUT YOU ARE JUST SITTING THERE WITH CARS HONKING AND ALMOST REAR ENDING YOUR VEHICLE. THIS IS HAPPEN ALMOST EVERY TIME THE GAS GOES INTO THE STOP/START MODE. IT HAPPENED SO MUCH THAT WE HAVE NOW TURNED IF OFF, WHICH DOES HELP. FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS A BATTERY ISSUE , WHICH WE CHANGED AND NOTHING IMPROVED. I REALIZE THAT THIS STOP/START FEATURE IS RELATIVELY NEW CAR FEATURE, BUT IF THERE IS GOING TO BE THESE ISSUES- IT IS NOT SAFE, THERE NEEDS TO BE AN IMPROVEMENT TO THAT PART TO PREVENT THIS. NOT SURE IF THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND IF PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THAT THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT HONDA'S STOP/START FEATURE

THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE: TRAILER STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM, HILL START ASSIST PROBLEM, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM, POWER STEERING PROBLEM AND EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2016 TOURING PILOT WITH JUST OVER 38,000 MILES. SINCE ABOUT 25,000 MILES I HAVE FELT THAT THERE WAS AN ODD HESITATION WITH THE AUTO-OFF FEATURE THAT I'D NOT NOTICED DURING THE INITIAL PERIOD OF OWNERSHIP. THE ISSUE ESCALATED TO THE POINT WHICH IT WOULD ACTUALLY STALL OUT AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON FOR A FEW MINUTES. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BATTERY AND SAID THAT THEY COULD SEE THE ERROR AND THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE CAUSED BY THE BATTERY. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE ISSUE STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND STALLED FOR MY WIFE AGAIN WITH OUR KIDS IN THE CAR AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE CAR WENT BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE NOW HAD IT FOR CLOSE TO 6 WEEKS WITH LITTLE TO NO UPDATE AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON. THIS IS A HORRIBLY UNSAFE ISSUE AND I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS REFERENCED IN THIS BLOG: HTTPS://WWW.PILOTEERS.ORG/FORUMS/114-2016-THIRD-GENERATION-PILOT/157005-ELITE-SHUTS-OFF-STOP-LIGHT-5.HTML THE FACT THAT HONDA CAN NOT COME UP WITH A FIX FOR THE ISSUE IS A VERY SCARY THOUGHT.

MY CAR INTERMITTENTLY GIVES ME A WARNING ABOUT A "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM," WHICH BEGAN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. WHILE I CANNOT DETECT ANY IMPACT ON THE ACTUAL START OR RUNNING OF THE VEHICLE, I'M CONCERNED THAT THE ENGINE COULD CUT OUT WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY POTENTIALLY UNSAFE OR THAT THE CAR WON'T START AT SOME POINT AND WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED. BECAUSE THE INDICATOR GOES ON AND OFF, IT'S DIFFICULT TO HAVE IT FIXED AND MY ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THE DEALERS FREQUENTLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT'S EXPENSIVE TO FIX. MANY HONDA OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM ONLINE.

HOWEVER, I MUST ADMIT I HOLD MY BREATH EVERY TIME I START THE CAR AND ALSO AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL HAVE SOME DISASTROUS EFFECT AT A VERY INOPPORTUNE AND DANGEROUS TIME. THIS MESSAGE COMES AND GOES - SOMETIME LASTING A COUPLE OF START/STOP/RESTART CYCLES, SOMETIMES HOURS OR DAYS AT A TIME. ONLY APPEARS OR DISAPPEARS WITH THE STARTING OF THE CAR - NEVER (YET) AFTER THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS PROBLEM WITH 3 DEALERS AND NONE IS FAMILIAR WITH IT. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING (ON HONDA PILOT USER GROUP FORUMS) DEALERS HAVE JUST BEEN REPLACING PARTS THAT SOUND LIKE THEY COULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PROBLEM.

WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE, ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH OUR 2016 HONDA PILOT ELITE SINCE EARLY ON IN OUR OWNERSHIP. WHEN I TRY TO GO AFTER COMING TO A STOP, THE CAR TRIES TO STALL AND HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WHEN IT STALLS, IT HAS SWITCHED ITSELF TO NEUTRAL AND FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, IT WILL NOT LET ME DO ANYTHING TO TRY TO GET THE CAR GOING AGAIN SUCH AS CHANGE GEARS, START THE CAR, ETC. AS I TRY TO GET IT GOING, IT WILL TELL ME THAT I NEED TO START THE ENGINE TO CHANGE THE GEAR BACK TO DRIVE BUT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING WHEN I PRESS THE START BUTTON. FURTHER, THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM: THE BACK UP CAMERA GOES BLACK, THE ENTIRE SYSTEM REBOOTS WHILE DRIVING, THE AUDIO SCREEN FREEZES AND AUDIO CEASES WHILE DRIVING, THE ENTIRE SCREEN GOES BLACK EXCEPT THE TIME LINE ON TOP WHILE DRIVING, AND THE NAVIGATION SCREEN BLACKS OUT WHILE DRIVING. DESPITE PROVIDING VIDEO AND PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF THE ISSUES, HONDA KEPT SAYING THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE IT AND THUS COULDN'T TEST IT, BUT WHEN I WAS ABLE TO BRING IT TO THEM WITH THE SCREEN FROZEN, THEY SAID THERE WERE NO TESTS THEY COULD RUN. THEY FINALLY TRIED REPLACING THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM, BUT THE ISSUES RETURNED. THESE ISSUES ARE ON TOP OF THE FACT THAT THEY REPLACED THE DVD PLAYER BECAUSE IT WAS LOOPING. WE FEEL WE HAVE RECEIVED A LEMON AND THAT THESE ISSUES CAUSE A HAZARD DURING WHAT SHOULD BE NORMAL OPERATION OF OUR VEHICLE.

ALSO, THE MOST RECENT ISSUES I'VE HAD WAS THE DRIVER SEAT DOES NOT WARM UP WHEN SEAT WARMER IS TURNED ON AND WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH VEHICLE BEGINS TO JERK AS IF IT IS STRUGGLING TO DRIVE. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BECOME MUCH MORE FREQUENT AND HAVE BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN.

NEED TO HAVE THE KEYLESS ACCESS REPLACED FOR $500+ PART IS CURRENTLY ON BACK ORDER WITH NO ETA. ACCORDING TO BLOGS OTHER PILOT OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE COULD THIS BE WHY THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER WITH NO ETA?? OVERALL NOT HAPPY WITH THE VEHICLE. HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES.

I HAVE BEEN GETTING A KEYLESS SYSTEM START ERROR UPON STARTING MY CAR SINCE 32,000 MILES. IT HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT AND THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS BECOME LESS INTERMITTENT AS TIME HAS GONE ON; MEANING THAT THE PROBLEM/ERROR MESSAGE IS NEARLY CONSTANT. I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY IN BOTH KEYLESS REMOTES, BUT THIS HAS NOT CORRECTED THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED TO RESET THE ERROR CODE AND UPDATE THE COMPUTER. NEITHER OF THESE HAVE CORRECTED THE ISSUE. THE MESSAGE DID GO AWAY FOR A DAY OR TWO, BUT HAS RETURNED. THIS ISSUE HAS ALSO CAUSED THE CAR TO NO LONGER USE THE AWAY LOCK SYSTEM AND MY KEYLESS REMOTE DOES NOT WORK AT TIMES AND/OR THE AUTO LOCK SWITCH IN THE CARS. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. THE ERROR MESSAGE WILL BING AS A REMINDER WHILE THE CAR IS ON. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE MESSAGE SUDDENLY APPEAR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY HAVE NOTIFIED HONDA OF THIS ISSUE, BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RESPONSE FROM HONDA. THIS ISSUE WAS REPORTED OVER A MONTH AGO. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS ISSUE MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO NOT COME ON OR POSSIBLE SHUT THE CAR OFF WHILE IN MOTION. I AM ALREADY APPREHENSIVE WITH THE LOCKS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AT TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

OUR 3 YEAR OLD CAR AT ABOUT 28,000 MILES STARTED DISPLAYING THE WARNING MESSAGE "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" NEARLY ALMOST EVERY TIME IT IS STARTED. (NOTE, THIS PROBLEM DEVELOPED THE MONTH AFTER IT'S WARRANTY EXPIRED...) WHEN THE MESSAGE FIRST DISPLAYED WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH THE STARTING SYSTEM, ONLY THAT OUR ELECTRONICS SYSTEM NEEDED AN UPDATE. WITH THE UPDATE, THE MESSAGE DISAPPEARED FOR A FEW WEEKS, BUT HAS NOW RETURNED AND IS APPEARING NEARLY EVERY TIME WE START THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER MINE OR MY WIFE'S KEY IS USED, AND CHANGING THE BATTERY IN THE KEYS HAS NOT CHANGED ANYTHING EITHER. WE HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACTUAL ISSUE WITH STARTING THE CAR, IT'S JUST THAT WE NOW HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS CONSTANT WARNING LIGHT.

THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS ON OCT 7, 2018. WE WERE AT A STOP LIGHT WITH THE ENGINE IDLE OPTION ENABLED. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE BRAKE WAS RELEASED, THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE STARTED BACK UP, BUT INSTEAD, IT STALLED. AFTER THE 2ND TIME IT OCCURRED, WE STARTED TO DISABLE THE ENGINE IDLE FEATURE AS SOON AS WE START THE CAR. WE HAVE FORGOTTEN A FEW TIMES AND THE VEHICLE STALLING HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 ADDITIONAL TIMES. ALL BEING AT RED LIGHTS WITH THE BRAKE DEPRESSED. WHEN THE FOOT IS REMOVED FROM THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE JERKS SLIGHTLY AND THEN STALLS. ONCE ON NOV. 1, 2018 AND AGAIN MOST RECENTLY ON JAN. 6, 2018. LUCKILY, NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED YET.

I TRIED TO PUT IT IN PARK AND IT WOULD NOT GO, I TRIED TO TURN OFF CAR AND IT WOULDN'T TURN OFF. THE MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD SAID TO PUSH BRAKE AND TURN ON CAR (SAME MESSAGE AS WHEN I REMOTE START CAR) AFTER 2 SOLID MINUTES, THE CAR FINALLY DROVE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE IMPACTED BY THE ECON MODE WHICH SHUTS OFF ENGINE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS FULLY ENGAGED. YOU ARE ABLE TO TURN THIS MODE OFF ON THE GEAR SHIFT BUT HAVE TO DO IT EVERY TIME YOU START THE CAR.

WHEN STARTING CAR, KEYLESS START PROBLEM COMES UP ON DASH. CAR STARTS FINE, EVERYTHING WORKS. BUT WARNING REMAINS UNTIL CAR IS SHUT OFF. TAKEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, REPLACED BATTERIES AT THE DEALER. THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS. EVEN MADE SURE MY PURSE OR PHONE WERE NOT THE ISSUE. AT A LOSS. PROBLEM STARTED IN NOVEMBER. ALMOST 38,000 MILES ON IT. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS THE MAGIC NUMBER ACCORDING TO OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ. THE REMOTE START DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. TRIED IT AT A CLOSE PROXIMITY AND IT WORKED BUT THE WARNING CAME UP AS KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. IT NEVER DID THAT BEFORE. AGAIN, EVERYTHING SEEMS TO WORK FINE, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG NONE THE LESS.

Mileage: 38,000

KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR APPEARS RANDOMLY AND THE WALK AWAY LOCK FEATURE NO LONGER WORKS. IT HAPPENS IN ALL TYPES OF WEATHER WITH BOTH KEY FOBS. BATTERIES WERE ALSO CHANGED IN THE KEY FOB. SEEMS LIKE A COMMON ISSUE WITH NO CLEAR ANSWER WHY

Mileage: 39,000

I HAD TWO BIG ISSUES (SOME SMALL ISSUES AS WELL) FOR MY 2016 HONDA PILOT. FIRST IS THE PAINT ISSUE, THE PAINT ON THE DOOR WAS OFF AND THE DOORS WERE RUSTED PRETTY BAD. I SPENT A LOT TO TIME GO BACK AND FORTH WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BOTH OF US WERE TIRED OF THIS ISSUE. ANOTHER ISSUE JUST HAPPENED TO ME TODAY, "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" SHOWED UP TODAY, THE WALK AWAY AUTO-LOCK FEATURE DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE, AFTER COUPLE OF DRIVES, THE ERROR MESSAGE GOES AWAY, BUT THE WALK AWAY FEATURE STILL DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND I BELIEVE A LOT OF OWNERS HAVE THIS ISSUE. MY CAR JUST WENT OUT OF WARRANTY AT ABOUT 38K MILES, AND I SAW ONLINE A LOT OF OWNERS SAW THIS MESSAGE AROUND THIS MILEAGE. I HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME HONDA OWNER, BUT THIS NEW PILOT MAKES ME VERY UPSET ALL THE TIME. A LOT OF ISSUE. A LOT...

Mileage: 38,000

MY VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING WOULD NOT START AFTER GETTING HOME AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE PANEL STATES AND IGNITION SYSTEM ERROR. ALL OF THE LIGHTS AND OTHER FUNCTIONS WORK WELL BUT IT WILL NOT START WHILE PHYSICALLY IN THE VEHICLE OR WITH THE REMOTE. IT MAKES A CONTINUOUS CLICKING SOUND ALL OF THE LIGHTS FLASH ON THE VEHICLE BUT NOTHING MORE.

KEYLESS STARTER SYSTEM ERROR MESSAGE AND IT NO LONGER AUTO LOCKS.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM AND AUTOMATIC LOCK DOESN'T WORK WHEN LEAVI THE CAR.

VEHICLE TURNS OFF COMPLETELY WHEN AUTO OFF FEATURE ENGAGES WHILE IN A STOPPED CONDITION. ON TWO OCCASIONS, VEHICLE REFUSED TO RESTART FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. THE FIRST TIME, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER 2-3 MINUTES, THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, CAR WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL 10-15 MIN AFTER THE OCCURRENCE. DURING BOTH OCCURRENCES, I WAS IN A STOP CONDITION WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE, VEHICLE IN DRIVE. DEALER SAYS BATTERY TESTS FINE AND CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE, BUT I KNOW THERE ARE OTHERS EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. ONLY OUT OF SHEAR LUCK, IT HAPPENED TO ME WHILE AT A RESIDENTIAL GATE KEY PAD PUNCHING IN THE CODE, AND THEN TODAY WHILE IN THE DRIVE THRU OF A FAST FOOD PLACE. IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON A BUSY STREET, AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, WHILE SITTING IN STANDSTILL TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE, ETC, IT COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

AUTO STOP MALFUNCTION FIRST YEAR OF OWNING THE PILOT ELITE, THE AUTO STOP FUNCTION WORKED AND WOULD RESTART AFTER COMING TO A STOP. BY THE SECOND YEAR, AFTER COMING TO A STOP IN CITY TRAFFIC AND ENGINE IS SUPPOSED TO COME BACK ON, IT STALLS AND SHUTS OFF AND NEEDS TO BE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND THEN RESTART ENGINE. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR FOR SERVICES SINCE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND REPORTING THE ISSUE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE OR REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NOW INTO YEAR 3 OF OWNERSHIP THE AUTO STOP FUNCTION HAS GOTTEN WORSE BECAUSE NOW WHEN IT SHUTS OFF AFTER AUTO STOPPING, IT TAKES A COUPLE OF MINUTES BEFORE YOU ARE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN. ONLY WAY AROUND THIS ISSUE IS TO DISABLE THE AUTO STOP FUNCTION AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DRIVE WHICH DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING SUCH A FUNCTION AND WE AREN'T ABLE TO PERMANENTLY DISABLE THE FUNCTION. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM EACH AND EVERY TIME I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND THEY HAVE RUN DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE "AUTO IDLE DISABLER" FEATURE ENGAGED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AT A STOP LIGHT. THREE WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THE "AUTO IDLE DISABLER" FEATURE ENGAGED AGAIN WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE GEAR INTO PARK, DISABLED THE POWER, AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, ALL OF THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS PROPERLY AND THE RPMS RAPIDLY INCREASED TO 5,000. ALSO, THE REVERSE GEAR SHIFTER BECAME INOPERATIVE AND THE GEARS WOULD NOT SHIFT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH. BIG STAR HONDA (11200 GULF FREEWAY, HOUSTON, TEXAS 77034) COULD NOT DIAGNOSE AND DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,000. *DT *JS

Mileage: 49,000

MY VEHICLE IS DISPLAYING THE KEYLESS IGNITION ERROR AND IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT ITS A KNOWN ISSUE AMONG MANY MANY OTHER 2016 HONDA PILOT OWNERS. I FEEL THIS IS A SCAM TO GET US TO DROP MONEY AT THE DEALERSHIP. MY CAR WAS RUNNING, OPENING UP FINE UNTIL ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT MESSAGE POPPED UP. WHAT A COINCIDENCE THIS IS HAPPENING AT TTHE SAME TIME AS EVERYONE ELSE.

Mileage: 39,450

AUTO START-STOP FAILS TO RE-START ENGINE AFTER SHUTTING OFF AT A STOP/STATIONARY. FIX HAS BEEN HAVING TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK, SHUT OFF ENGINE & RESTART ENGINE. MULTIPLE DASH MALFUNCTION LIGHTS ALSO ILLUMINATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS NOT ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHILE IN TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED INDEPENDENTLY AFTER TEN MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA CARS OF KATY (21001 KATY FWY, KATY, TX 77450) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 08934725. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

Mileage: 29,000

MY 2016 HONDA PILOT DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE "EMISSIONS" CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON THREE DIFFERENT TIMES, ALL WITH LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE HONDA DEALER CLAIMS THAT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM EACH TIME; BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE. THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON IN DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS.

Mileage: 34,542

AROUND 38,000 MILES ON THE 2016 HONDA PILOT, IT STARTED TO SHOW AN ERROR ON THE SCREEN IN THE DASH SAYING "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" THAT CAUSE THE CAR NOT TO WORK ON THE AUTOLOCK FEATURE WHEN YOU WALK AWAY OR THE AUTOMATIC TIMER LOCK WHICH IS SET AT 30 SECONDS. AFTER 30 SECONDS, THE CAR DOESN'T LOCK AT ALL. LEAVING THE VEHICLE BEING UNLOCKED AND POSSIBLY BEING STOLEN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER IS ASKING $307 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE START BUTTON. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY HONDA SINCE IT IS AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT CAUSED BY THE OWNER. MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ON FORUMS.

Mileage: 38,000

ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT, MY ENGINE SHUT DOWN, AS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO WITH THE 'AUTO IDLE STOP' FUNCTION. IT IS SUPPOSED TO START BACK UP WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, BUT THIS TIME THE CAR STALLED. IT STALLED MANY TIMES AFTER THIS AND IT WAS ALWAYS UNEXPECTED AND SCARY. I TOOK IT INTO MY DEALER ON JUNE 6, 2018 AND THEY SAID THEY COULD SEE THAT THEY COULD SEE IN THE COMPUTER THAT IT STALLED A FEW TIMES, BUT COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM WHILE TEST DRIVING IT. THEY DID A RESET ON THE ELECTRONICS. THAT DID NOTHING. I STALLED A WHILE AFTER I LEFT THE SHOP. I STALLED MANY MORE TIMES AFTER THAT. IT DOES HAVE AN OVERRIDE TO THIS 'AUTO IDLE STOP' SYSTEM, BUT YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS REMEMBER TO PUSH THE BUTTON AND IF I FORGOT AND THE CAR WAS IN 'AUTO IDLE STOP' MODE AND I PUSHED THE BUTTON, MANY TIMES THE CAR WOULD STALL. I NOW ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM STARTING THE CAR. WHEN I PUSH THE START BUTTON, MANY TIMES THE ENGINE WON'T START. I HAVE TO PUSH IT 3-4 TIMES TO GET IT TO START. THIS MAKES MY STALLING EVEN MORE DANGEROUS, AS IF IT WAS NOT DANGEROUS ENOUGH, BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE ME MUCH LONGER TO START THE CAR FROM A STALL. I CAN IMAGINE BEING IN SITUATIONS WHERE I WOULD HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT A SITUATION QUICKLY AND IF I STALL I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO. IF I AM ON A FREEWAY AND STALL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, OR STALLING ON TRAIN TRACKS IF I AM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND I HAPPEN TO BE THE CAR LEFT ON THE TRACKS AND CAN'T START. OR IF A CAR OR OBJECT IS HEADING TOWARDS ME AND WILL CRASH INTO ME AND I CAN AVOID IT BE SPEEDING AWAY. IF I STALL I CAN'T. HERE IS A THREAD FROM A HONDA PILOT FORUM WITH MANY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HTTPS://WWW.PILOTEERS.ORG/FORUMS/114-2016-THIRD-GENERATION-PILOT/157005-ELITE-SHUTS-OFF-STOP-LIGHT.HTML NOT ONE OF THEM HAS HAD IT FIXED BY THERE REPAIR SHOP. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE 2ND TIME SINCE AUGUST 8, 2018.

Mileage: 17,500

THE CAR CONTINUALLY STALLS AT RED LIGHTS AND OTHER FULL STOPS AFTER THE "AUTO-SHUTOFF" ENGAGES. THE CAR FAILS TO RESTART AND RESULTS IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS IN THE CITY. THE CAR CAN NOT BE MOVED EASILY BECAUSE IT BECOMES COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE, EVEN DISABLING THE FLASHERS. IT HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY.

Mileage: 30,000

WHILE DRIVING ALL WARNING LIGHTS ACTIVATED CYCLING THROUGH EACH OF THEM. THE VEHICLE LOST ALMOST ALL POWER CAUSING A VERY UNSAFE AND POTENTIALLY FATAL CONDITION. SEVERAL TRANSMISSION AND OTHER CODES WERE NOTED FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT. HONDA TECH LINE ADMITTED THAT THIS CONDITION WAS KNOWN TO THEM VERY WELL BUT REFUSES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM UNLESS IT OCCURS REPEATEDLY. ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE NTSB.

Mileage: 39,000

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN CUTTING OFF, ALL POWER INCLUDING ALL COMPUTER SCREENS/DASHBOARD/STEERING, WHICH LAST 2-5 SECONDS, THEN CUTS BACK ON. THE RPM WILL REV UP TO THE 4-6 THOUSAND RANGE AND AT TIMES THE VEHICLE WILL NO GO OVER 45MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT 35 MPH TO 70MPH. WHILE IN PARK, ABSOLUTELY NO GEAR ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE WILL LURCH FORWARD AND BACKWARD AS THOUGH IT WAS IN GEAR. MY FOOT WILL NOT EVEN BE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WILL MOVE. LAST WEEK THE CAR WAS TURNED ON, PUT IN DRIVE, I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR, THE RPM'S WENT TO 4000 AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE. I LOOKED DOWN TO MAKE SURE IT WAS IN DRIVE, WHICH IS WAS, AS I LOOKED UP THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD 2-3 FEET. THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM, LANE ASSIST LIGHT COME ON RANDOMLY. IT WILL TELL ME "STEERING REQUIRED" EVEN WHEN I AM DRIVING AND DO NOT HAVE THE LANE ASSIST ON. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED MULTIPLE PARTS, INCLUDING "COMPUTER UPDATES", THE RADAR SENSING SYSTEM, BUT THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND HAVE TOLD ME THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE TAKE THE VEHICLE IN AT LEAST 6-7 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. THE CAR IS UNSAFE, STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER TOLD ME "YOU ARE STUCK WITH IT". THIS CAR IS A HAZARD TO MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. I HAVE TRIED TO DEAL WITH HONDA CORPORATE AND THEY WILL NOT RESPOND. I BELIEVE, FROM MY RESEARCH, THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL THAT HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE.

Mileage: 70,000

THE CAR STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN AUTO IDLE STOP IS ENGAGED AND CAR IS STATIONARY. INSTEAD OF THE ENGINE STARTING UP AGAIN AFTER TAKE FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR STALLS COMPLETELY AND HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSH THE START BUTTON TO GET IT ON AGAIN. SOMETIMES HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE CAR RESTARTS. DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING OR REPLICATE PROBLEM. FIRST REPORTED TO DEALER OCT. 2017, DID SOFTWARE UPDATE, BUT HAPPENED AGAIN JUNE AND JULY.

Mileage: 45,500

THE MESSAGE "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" SHOWED UP IN THE INFORMATION SCREEN ABOUT A FEW WEEKS AGO, IT WOULD COME UP INTERMITTENTLY, WHENEVER I START THE ENGINE, AND THE MESSAGE STAYS ON THE ENTIRE TIME THE ENGINE IS RUNNNING. WHEN THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF, THERE WILL BE A DING, AND THE MESSAGE WILL STAY ON FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE GOING AWAY. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY HAD NOT ENCOUNTERED A MESSAGE LIKE THAT BEFORE, AND COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. I ALREADY HAVE OVER 42,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE, SO THE FACTORY WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT. TODAY I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, SINCE THAT MESSAGE IS STILL SHOWING UP, AND I FINALLY HAVE THE TIME TO LEAVE IT FOR A FEW HOURS. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID NOW THERE IS A CODE FOR THAT ISSUE, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR WHATEVER REPAIRS NEEDED TO FIX THE ISSUE. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURING RECALL ISSUE, PERHAPS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, OR WITH THE KEYLESS START SYSTEM, AND THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. I'M AFRAID OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THE ISSUE GETS WORSE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I GO ON VACATION, AND THE ENGINE WILL NOT START BECAUSE OF AN ERROR WITH THE KEYLESS START SYSTEM AFFECTING THE PUSH BUTTON START. AGAIN, THE MESSAGE DOES NOT COME UP EVERYTIME I DRIVE. BUT TODAY, ON 6/28/2018, I HAVE STARTED THE ENGINE A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES WHILE RUNNING ERRANDS AROUND TOWN, WITHIN 90 MINUTES, AND THIS MESSAGE HAS SHOWN UP EVERY TIME I STARTED THE ENGINE.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD ALL OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON ON MY DASH, INCLUDING THE LKAS, COLLISSION MITIGATION, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, ROAD DEPARTURE, AND VARIOUS NOTIFICATIONS FOR MY BLUETOOTH, RADIO, AND NAVIGATION COME ON. ALSO, MY BACK UP CAMERA WILL HAVE A BLACK SCREEN AND THEN MY MAPS WILL BE GRAY WITH NO INFORMATION. MY CAR WILL SUDDENLY BRAKE WHEN THERE IS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME AND SURGE FORWARD AS I'M TRYING TO COME TO A STOP, LIKE MY BRAKES AREN'T WORKING. I ALSO CAN'T MAKE ANY PHONE CALLS USING THE SYSTEM, AS IT WONT RECOGNIZE ANY VOICE TAGS AND INSTEAD GIVES ME EVERY CONTACT IN MY PHONE BOOK THAT MAY HAVE A HOME NUMBER. RECENTLY THE ABS IS ACTIVATING AS I TURN MY WHEELS TO THE RIGHT WHILE BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACES. THESE MAY HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE STATIONARY. IT JUST ISN'T SAFE. I'VE HAD PEOPLE SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID MY CAR AS IT SUDDENLY STOPS FOR NO REASON AND HAVE FEARED THAT I MAY REAR END SOMEONE DUE TO IT LURCHING FORWARD, SO NOW I STOP REALLY FAR BACK FROM OTHER VEHICLES. I'M ALSO EXPERIENCING A POPPING NOISE COMING FROM MY SPEAKER SYSTEM THAT SEEMS TO OCCUR WHENEVER MY AC COMPRESSOR SWITCHES ON AND OFF, LEADING ME TO WONDER IF I'M EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SO MANY TIMES AND THEY SAY THAT THEY CAN'T "DUPLICATE" THIS. SO I SHOW THEM THE PHOTOS AND THE VIDEOS. I'M NOT ALONE WITH MANY OF THESE PROBLEMS. I SEE OTHERS COMPLAINING AS WELL. HONDA NEEDS TO REPAIR OUR VEHICLES OR BUY THEM BACK. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED HONDA'S BUT AFTER MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE, THEY MAY HAVE LOST ME AS A CUSTOMER. MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS TOO IMPORTANT TO LEAVE IN THE HANDS OF A CORPORATION THAT CARES MORE ABOUT THEIR BOTTOM LINE, THAN THEIR CUSTOMERS.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, BEGINNING JUST MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, I HAVE HAD ALL OF THE INDICATOR LIGHT TURN ON ON MY DASH, INCLUDING THE LKAS, COLLISION MITIGATION, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, ROAD DEPARTURE AND VARIOUS NOTIFICATIONS FOR MY BLUETOOTH, RADIO AND NAVIGATION COME ON. ALSO, MY BACKUP CAMERA WILL HAVE A BLACK SCREEN AND THEN MY MAPS WILL BE GRAY WITH NO INFORMATION. MY CAR WILL SUDDENLY BRAKE WHEN THERE IS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME AND SURGE FORWARD AS I'M TO COMING TO A STOP AND THE RPM'S WILL RAISE, IT'S LIKE I'M SLIDING OVER ICE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I ALSO CAN'T MAKE PHONE CALLS USING THE SYSTEM, AS IT WON'T RECOGNIZE ANY OF MY VOICE TAGS. AND INSTEAD WILL GIVE ME EVERY CONTACT IN MY PHONE BOOK WITH A HOME NUMBER WHEN I ASK FOR IT TO CALL HOME. RECENTLY THE ABS IS ACTIVATING AS I TURN MY WHEELS TO THE RIGHT WHILE BACKING OUR OF PARKING SPACES, EITHER ON A DRIVEWAY OR FLAT SURFACE. THESE MAY HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY AND JUST TURNING THE CAR ON. IT JUST ISN'T SAFE. I'VE HAD PEOPLE SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING ME AS MY CAR DECIDES TO SUDDENLY STOP FOR NO REASON AND HAVE FEAR THAT I MAY REAR END SOMEONE DUE TO IT LURCHING FORWARD WHILE STOPPING, SO NOW I STOP EVEN FURTHER AWAY FROM VEHICLES AND OBJECTS - JUST IN CASE. I'M ALSO EXPERIENCING A POPPING NOISE COMING FROM MY SPEAKER SYSTEM THAT SEEMS TO OCCUR WHENEVER MY AC COMPRESSOR SWITCHES ON OR OFF OR IF I'M USING MY DOOR LOCKS, LEADING ME TO WONDER IF I'M ACTUALLY HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY OF COURSE SAY THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUES. SO I SHOW THEM ALL OF MY PHOTOS AND VIDEOS. I'M NOT ALONE WITH MANY OF THESE PROBLEMS. I SEE OTHERS COMPLAINING OF SIMILAR ISSUES AS WELL. HONDA NEEDS TO REPAIR OUR VEHICLES OR BUY THEM BACK. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED HONDAS BUT AFTER MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE, THEY MAY HAVE LOST MY BUSINESS.

2016 HONDA PILOT 12,442 MILES. THE VEHICLE DID NOT START AFTER PARKED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAD POWER BUT NO START. DEALER CLAIMED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A 2 YEAR OLD BATTERY. CLUSTER LIGHTS FLASHING AND VARIOUS SYSTEM PROBLEM CODES DISPLAYED. DEALER UPDATED SOFTWARE WITH A SERVICE BULLETIN. I AM WONDERING IF THE SOFTWARE ISSUE DAMAGED OR DRAINED MY BATTERY. ALSO A/C COMPRESSOR LOUD GRINDING NOISE FOUND AT COLD START WHEN A/C TURNED ON AFTER VEHICLE PARKED FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RECORDED BUT DEALER CAN NOT DUPLICATE. CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED ALSO FOR A NOISE FOUND UNDER STEERING WHEEL WHILE SLIGHTLY TURNING. IT MIGHT BE AN ISSUE WITH THE WIRING IN THE STEERING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THIS CAN CREATE A PROBLEM WITH THE CONTROLS FOUND ON THE STEERING WHEEL INCLUDING THE AIRBAG AND HORN. IT TOOK 6 HOURS FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE AFTER BEING STRANDED IN REMOTE AREA LATE AT NIGHT DUE TO A FAILURE IN THEIR SYSTEM WHICH THEY ARE WORKING ON IMPROVING. THEY JUST DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USED TO. TOO MUCH TECHNOLOGY FOR THE MANUFACTURERS TO KEEP UP WITH IT.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND TOWN RUNNING ERRANDS. AS I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT, MY DISPLAY PANEL SHOWED EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CALLED DEALER AND THEY SAID IT'S NOT A BIG CONCERN UNLESS ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING AND TO BRING IT IN AFTER THE WEEKEND (WAS A FRIDAY AFTERNOON). DROVE IT 30 MINUTES HOME AT 55-65 MPH AND NOTICED NO PROBLEMS. DROVE IT THAT DISTANCE AND SPEED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AS WELL WITH NO PROBLEMS. PICKED IT UP A FEW DAYS LATER.

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, OUR 2016 HONDA PILOT ELITE HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE WE WERE DRIVING - TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ONCE IN BUSY TRAFFIC. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, POWER STEERING, ETC. ALL STOP WORKING AND THE CAR DISPLAYS EVERY ERROR YOU CAN IMAGINE. I HAVE POSTED A VIDEO HERE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=BTEBMYWY-IS THIS IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO GET THE CAR WORKING AGAIN - LUCKILY, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED, WE CALLED HONDA EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WE HAD A TOW ON THE WAY WHEN WE TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW AND THAT CLEARED THE ERRORS. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE USED THE SAME TRICK TO GET THE CAR RUNNING AGAIN BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK - VERY SCARY! I HAVE FOUND OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE SO IT'S CLEAR THAT THERE'S SOME KIND OF COMPUTER OR ELECTRIC PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL - IT'S JUST NOT OBVIOUS WHAT TRIGGERS IT. WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO TRADE IN OUR CAR FOR A DIFFERENT MODEL BECAUSE HONDA HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE ANY HELP IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES - I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THEIR SERVICE ON THIS.

WHILE IN MOTION, THE CAR ESSENTIALLY SHUT DOWN WITH THE DISPLAY SCREEN SHOWING A SERIES OF WARNINGS INDICATING NUMEROUS SYSTEM FAILURES. THERE WAS NO ENGINE POWER BUT LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. THE DEALER INDICATED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM, JUST A COMPUTER GLITCH, AND THE ONLY REPAIR NECESSARY WAS TO RESET THE COMPUTER/SOFTWARE. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED LAST WEEK, ONLY THIS TIME WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. WE COMPLETELY LOST ALL ENGINE POWER BUT LUCKILY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE AND PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER. IF I HAD BEEN IN THE FAST OR MIDDLE LANE WITH LITTLE OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE OVER, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS COLLISION. SIMILAR TO THE FIRST INCIDENT, WE WERE UNABLE TO START THE CAR WITH THE WARNING LIGHTS SHOWING VARIOUS SYSTEM FAILURES. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SAME DEALER WHO INITIALLY INDICATED THEY WOULD JUST REBOOT THE SOFTWARE AGAIN. SO WE PRESSED UPON THEM TO DO A MORE THOROUGH DIAGNOSIS SINCE THIS IS THE SECOND TIME ITS HAPPENED. THEY AGREED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE AND SEEK TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT NO DIAGNOSIS HAS BEEN MADE. WE WOULD HAVE NEVER EXPECTED THIS FROM A NEAR BRAND NEW (PURCHASED IN DECEMBER 2015 AND CURRENTLY HAS ONLY 9,200 MILES) PILOT ELITE LOADED WITH SAFETY AND TECHNOLOGY FEATURES. AGAIN WE EXPERIENCED TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS WHERE THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION WITH THE MOST RECENT OCCURRING ON THE FREEWAY. AND BOTH TIMES OUR THREE YOUNG CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK AND I CERTAINLY HOPE HONDA DOES ITS DUE DILIGENCE IN DIAGNOSING AND ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE.

HONDA PILOT 2016 TOURING. VEHICLE BATTERY DRAINS OVERNIGHT OR IN A FEW HOURS FOR NO REASON. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WOULD HAVE TO BE TRANSPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP OR HAVE BATTERY RECHARGED FOR A LONG TIME. AFTER RECHARGE, SAFETY EQUIPMENT SUCH AS SENSORS, EMERGENCY STOP, ETC. STOP WORKING. CONTACTED HONDA AND TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES. ONE TIME THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AND OTHER TIMES DID SOMETHING ELSE BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. WE BELIEVE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE ENCOUNTERED BY MANY HONDA PILOT 2016 OWNERS WHICH IS REPORTED ONLINE. THEY ALL COMPLAIN OF TAKING THEIR VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

IF THERE IS ANYWAY TO GET THE OLD NAVIGATION SYSTEM INSTALLED IN THE 2016 MODEL PLEASE SIGN ME UP! BOTTOM-LINE, HONDA NEEDS TO COME OUT WITH A FIX AS-SOON-AS-POSSIBLE.

THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT EVEN CHECKED ALL 6 PILOTS ON THE LOT AND THEY ALL HAD THE SAME ISSUES. I ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH AMERICAN HONDA AND WAS TOLD THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND I NEED TO WAIT FOR A FIX. MY CASE MANAGERISSUED ME A $400 HONDA LOYALTY CARD WHICH CAN BE USED FOR PARTS OR SERVICE AT ANY HONDA DEALER (SHE SAID THE CARD FOR FOR MY TROUBLES).

ON NOVEMBER 10, 2015, AT APPROXIMATELY 5:30PM, MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING ON NORTH I-75 IN SOUTHWEST OHIO. BESIDES OURSELVES, WE HAD OUR TWO YOUNG GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR. THE CAR'S COMPUTER STARTED DISPLAYING A CHANGING SERIES OF WARNINGS GENERALLY INDICATING VARIOUS SYSTEM FAILURES. THE CAR BASICALLY STARTED TO SHUT DOWN. SINCE WE WERE IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE, MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE SHOULDER. IF WE HAD BEEN TRAVELING IN THE MIDDLE OR LEFT LANE OF TRAFFIC, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN LITTLE IF ANY CHANCE OF MOVING OVER TO THE CURB. THE CAR, WITH TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT, WOULD HAVE SHUT DOWN LEAVING US IN THE PATH OF VERY FAST MOVING CARS AND TRUCKS. THE ONLY OUTCOME WAS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY HIGH-SPEED REAR END COLLISION. WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO OUR HONDA DEALER APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES AWAY. ON NOVEMBER 27, THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING, THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 2:30PM. THIS TIME WE WERE 400 MILES FROM HOME TRAVELING EAST ON HIGHWAY 11-E, BETWEEN GREENEVILLE AND JOHNSON CITY, TENNESSEE. I CAUGHT THE FAILURE EARLY ENOUGH BEFORE THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND WAS ABLE TO COAST THE CAR TO A PARKING LOT OF AN OUT-OF-BUSINESS STORE. THIS TIME INSTEAD OF TWO YOUNG CHILDREN, WE HAD TWO ELDERLY GREAT GRANDPARENTS. THE DEALER THAT HANDLED THE FIRST INCIDENT DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A SOFTWARE ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE SECOND DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS A FUEL PUMP RELAY NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED. THIS RELAY REQUIRES A SPECIAL TOOL TO INSTALL IT. SEE ATTACHED LETTER WITH ATTACHMENTS FOR ALL DETAILS INCLUDING SERVICE INVOICES.
