MY CAR KEEPS DISPLAYING 'KEY START SYSTEM PROBLEM' IT COMES ON AND OFF. SOMETIMES FOR A WEEK OR JUST A FEW DAYS. I HAVE NOW TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHY IT COMES ON THEN TURNS OFF. THIS LAST TIME LASTED A WEEK AND IT FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS STRUGGLING TO MOVE WHEN I ACCELERATED. THIS IS CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA PILOTS. I CHECKED ONLINE AND OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, THEY TRIED REPLACING THE PUSH TO START BUTTON, KEY BATTERIES AND THE HARNESS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I START MY CAR ONLY, I HAVE NOT MADE ANY ALTERATIONS TO MY VEHICLE. I JUST GOT MY CAR IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR.

WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN MY EMPLOYER'S PARKING LOT, THE REAR/BACK WINDOW SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES. AFTER RESEARCHING, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING EXTREMELY WARM TEMPERATURES LATELY SO I AM NOT SURE IF THAT IS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. EITHER WAY IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO COME OUT TO YOUR VEHICLE AND NOT HAVE A REAR WINDOW.

THE OTHER WEEK THE WINDOWS, INCLUDING SUNROOF, ALL ROLLED DOWN BY THEMSELVES SOMETIME EARLY MORNING AND RAIN GOT IN- INORDER FOR ME TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN I HAVE TO SLEEP WALK TO MY KEY FOB AND HIT UNLOCK TWICE AND HOLD THE UNLOCK BUTTON UNTIL ALL WINDOWS ARE FULLY DOWN. IT WAS A STINKY FLOOD MESS.

WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE CAR PUT ITSELF INTO PARK WITHOUT MY (THE DRIVER) KNOWLEDGE. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE HOWEVER THE CAR WAS IN PARK. 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.
Electrical system, Engine, Jul 12, 2019
CAR SHUTS DOWN AND STALLS WHEN IDLE STOP ENGAGES VERY FREQUENTLY OVER THE PAST YEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION OR HIGHWAY. HAVE TAKEN IN TO HONDA DEALERS MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND SAY THE BATTERY TESTS OK YET RECOMMEND CHANGING THE BATTERY?!

Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 11, 2019
MY CAR IS AT 37,000 MILES (OF COURSE JUST OVER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY) AND NOW HAS FUEL INJECTOR FAILURE. CAR IS HESITATING AND SPUTTERING DURING ACCELERATION ON ANY ROAD. THE FAILURE IN OUR FUEL INJECTORS HAS CAUSED TRANSMISSION FLUID TO BECOME DIRTY AND IS MAKING THE CAR DRIVE STUTTER AND HESITATE DURING ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD WE NEED TO REPLACE FUEL INJECTORS AND REPLACE TRANSITION FLUID. VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD.

WHILE IDOL AT RED LIGHT, THE AUTOMATIC IDOL KICKED IN FOR POWER SAVE YET JERKED AND ALL RED LIGHT INDICATORS TURNED ON, INCLUDING PARKING BREAKS, AND CAR SEIZED UP. 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.

UPON ACCELERATION TO PASS, THE RPMS DROP, THERE SEEMS TO BE NO POWER. LIFTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND REAPPLYING, THE POWER RETURNS. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES,THREE BEING INTERSTATE AND ONE LOCAL FOUR LANE ROAD.
Electrical system, Engine, Jul 8, 2019
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.

MY SUNROOF GLASS SHATTERED TODAY WHILE WAITING TO EXIT A PARKING LOT. THE SUNSHADE WAS CLOSED SO NO GLASS SHARDS FELL INTO THE CAR. WE WERE MOVING AT OR UNDER 5MPH ON LEVEL GROUND. THE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE HIGH 80S WITH CLEAR SKIES AND BRIGHT SUN HERE IN ROCKLAND COUNTY NY, TODAY JULY 7TH 2019. THE GLASS WAS NOT STRUCK BY A STONE OR DEBRIS, THIS WAS MOST LIKELY A DEFECT IN THE GLASS.

MILEAGE IS ABOUT 54,000. I HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP IN BOTH 2017 AND 2018 FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, TOO. THIS IS THE WORST HONDA I HAVE EVER OWNED.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM
Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 30, 2019
THE FUEL INJECTORS FAILED AT 41,000 MILES AND THE CAR WAS 2 AND HALF YEARS OLD. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO OUTWARD CONDITIONS OF A PROBLEM. HONDA SERVICE TECHNICIAN COULDN'T CLEAR ENGINE LIGHT. HE CLAIMED IT WAS THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THEY REPLACED AT 1200 HUNDRED DOLLARS. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HEARD OTHER HONDA OWNERS WITH THE 2016 PILOT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. HONDA HAS BEEN TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE TO MY CONCERNS. THIS WAS WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.

AT ABOUT 47250 MILES ON MY 2016 HONDA PILOT LX AWD, KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM DISPLAYS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. STARTED ON 6/29/2019. ALL I DID WAS PUSH THE ENGINE START STOP BUTTON 2 TIMES BEFORE PRESSING THE BRAKE AND ACTUALLY STARTING UP THE VEHICLE. THEN THEN MESSAGE APPEARS. 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. KEY FOB BATTERY IS GOOD IN BOTH KEYS.

SEVERAL TIMES WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC OR AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE ENGINE STOP FEATURE HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY. THE ENGINE TURNS OFF COMPLETELY AND DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY RESTART. THE SUV HAS TO BE PLACED IN PARK AND RESTARTED MANUALLY. I PLAN ON BRINGING IT IN NEXT WEEK TO HAVE THEM LOOK INTO IT.

I WAS DRIVING AT 15 MPH AND MY CAR JOLTED AND STALLED AND SEVERAL (5) WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. VEHICLE STABILITY, BRAKE, POWER STEERING, AND A COUPLE OTHER LIGHTS. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. I TRIED TO DRIVE IT A FEW MILES AND IT WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND I COULDN'T DRIVE IT MORE THAN ABOUT 20 MPH. I HAD IT TOWED FROM HOME TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAD AROUND 40K MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. HONDA SAID IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH A BULLETIN - STATING THAT THE CAM SHAFT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH A SENSOR. THEY TOLD ME THE CAM SHAFT ASSEMBLY WAS UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE SENSOR. WHEN I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT HONDA WAS GIVING EXTENDED WARRANTIES TO NEWER MODELS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND EVEN DOING RECALLS BUT MY VIN DIDN'T QUALIFY. A FEW MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD AND MY CAR STARTED HAVING SHIFTING PROBLEMS AGAIN. SO, I TAKE IT IN AND THEY ARE SAYING THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE SERVICED BUT THE SERVICE ONLY GETS A LITTLE BIT OF THE FLUID OUT SO THEY WANTED TO DO THE SERVICE 3 TIMES AND CHARGED ME FOR DOING THE SAME THING 3 TIMES. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FIND OUT THAT IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO GIVE A LIMITED WARRANTY ON UP 80K MILES. MY CONCERN IS THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SHIFTING ISSUES, STALLS AND JOLTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED WITHIN 4 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. IF I WERE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THAT HAPPENED, GOING AT 60 MPH, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED UNNECESSARY ACCIDENTS. IT'S DANGEROUS BUT, STILL NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AND IT'S LIKE FIGHTING TOOTH AND TOENAIL WITH HONDA TO GET THEM TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW WHEN OR IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I PURCHASED MY HONDA BRAND NEW. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE OFF THE ROADS UNTIL THE ISSUES ARE FIXED. I THINK I HAVE A LEMON!
Electrical system, Jun 28, 2019
I HAVE A "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" MESSAGE ON SINCE THE CAR IS MORE THAN 37,000 MILES. TRIED CHANGING BATTERY BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO AFFECT THE DRIVING. AT 61,000 MILES THE DEALER RESET THE CODE BUT AFTER ONE DAY, THE MESSAGE CAME BACK. THIS ISSUE DISABLED THE AUTOLOCK FEATURE AS YOU WALK AWAY. NOT SURE WHAT ELSE IS BEING DISABLED BY THIS.
