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.

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 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.

I AM EXPERIENCING WATER LEAKING BY THE PASSENGER SEAT. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND I WAS EXPLAINED THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE WHOLE FRONT PART INCLUDING THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THERE IS A SEALANT ON RUBBER BAND THAT IT UNDERNEATH THE WINDSHIELD THAT HAS TO BE REPLACED SINCE THE BAND IS REALLY TIN AND NEED TO BE REPLACE SINCE THE QUALITY OF IT IS NOT SO GOOD AS THE ONE THAT WAS USED IN THE 2014-2015 PILOTS. SO I LIVE IN A STATE WHERE IS ALWAYS RAINING AND SO THE WATER IS GETTING IN TO MY CAR, AND I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CHANGE THE TOWELS AS THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR GETS SO WET IF I DO NOT USE ANYTHING TO ABSORB THE WATER. THIS FIX WILL TAKE AT LEAST 5 DAYS TO BE REPAIR AND WILL COST ME OVER $2000 TO HAVE IT REPAIR, WHEN THIS IS AN ISSUED CAUSE FOR THE BAD RUBBER QUALITY THAT HONDA USED. *TR

PASSENGER AND BACK LEFT PASSENGER WINDOWS EITHER CAME OFF TRACK OR TRACK BECAME "GUMMED UP". BOTH ISSUED OCCURRED WHILE IN MOTION AND WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. WINDOW MADE THIS GRINDING NOISE WHEN LOWERING AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. NO INCIDENT WAS REPORTED OTHER THEN TAKING THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO GET AN ESTIMATE. THE GRINDING NOISE SOUNDS LIKE GLASS ON METAL WHEN WINDOW IS RAISED OR LOWERED. REQUIRED FIX FROM DEALERSHIP WAS A NEW TRACK INSTALLED AND WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACEMENT. REPAIRS WERE QUOTED AT $750 PER WINDOW. ONE WINDOW GOES BAD AND CHALK IT UP AS A FLUKE. SAME ISSUE ON BOTH WINDOWS...MANUFACTURER DEFECT!
Vehicle speed control, Electronic stability control (ESC), Dec 10, 2017
VEHICLE RANDOMLY CUTS POWER TO ENGINE. WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, STABILITY CONTROL SYMBOL FLASHES WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED AND POWER IS CUT FROM THE ENGINE CAUSING VEHICLE TO SLOW. RELEASING ACCELERATOR ALLOWS VEHICLE TO COAST AND STABILITY CONTROL SYMBOL ON DASH GOES AWAY. AS SOON AS ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED AGAIN, STABILITY CONTROL SYMBOL FLASHES AND POWER IS ONCE AGAIN CUT FROM ENGINE. VERY SCARY ON FREEWAY. PULLING OVER AND PUTTING INTO PARK AND DRIVE DOES NOT CORRECT ISSUE. VEHICLE MUST BE TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON TO RESET. IMAGINE HOW SCARY THIS WILL BE DOING 70 ON THE FREEWAY AND POWER BEING CUT FROM THE ENGINE SURROUNDED BY TRAFFIC AND UNABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESET THE SYSTEM.
