2016 Honda Pilot complaints

FACTORY STEREO. I HAD BROUGHT MY CAR TO LIA HONDA IN ENFIELD TO SEE WHY THE FACTORY RADIO WORKS FOR EVERYTHING BUT THE SIRIUS XM RADIO. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD NEED A NEW ANTENNA AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR THREE DAYS AND NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS WRONG. CAR HAS 58827 MILES ON IT AND IS A 2016. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME 750 DOLLARS TO REPLACE MY ANTENNA.

AN ERROR WITH THE "KEYLESS START SYSTEM" KEEPS RE-OCCURRING. AN ERROR CODE "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" SHOWS UP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY RE-SET THE COMPUTER (FOR A PRICE), BUT ERROR CODE RETURNED 24 HOURS LATER. DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2016 HONDA PILOTS.

VEHICLE RANDOMLY DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY RESTART AFTER AUTO IDLE STOP ENGAGES WHEN IN STOP-GO TRAFFIC ON FREEWAY OR WHEN STOPPED AT INTERSECTION, RESULTING IN A STALLED VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF FREEWAY OR INTERSECTION. ATTEMPTS TO MANUALLY RESTART THE VEHICLE GENERALLY SUCCESSFUL AFTER FRANTICALLY (OR SLOWLY!) PUSHING THE START-STOP BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES. VIDEO DOCUMENTING ISSUE AVAILABLE AT HTTPS://1DRV.MS/V/S!AQY6PDPSAKNNNN5FXRZ2NGSTMND0CG (ADDITIONAL VIDEOS AVAILABLE). ISSUE ONGOING SINCE ~ OCTOBER 2018. DEALER HAS REPLACED BATTERY & ENGINE START-STOP BUTTON TO NO AVAIL.

VEHICLE IS GIVING KEYLESS START PROBLEM ERROR. VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO START (TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START). KEY FOB BATTERY REPLACED, CAR BATTERY REPLACED. IT IS INTERMITTENT BUT OCCURS WITH BOTH KEY FOBS. IT OCCURS AT VARIOUS TIMES OF DAY, AFTER SITTING FOR VARIOUS AMOUNTS OF TIME. VEHICLE IS ALWAYS STATIONARY AS IT IS PARKED AND OFF BEFORE STARTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. THE DRIVER STATED THAT DIFFERENT UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN OFF AND RESTART THE IGNITION IN ORDER TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA CARLAND (LOCATED AT 11085 ALPHARETTA HWY, ROSWELL, GA 30076, (770) 993-2805) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

WHEN I COME TO A STOP, THE AUTO STOP FEATURE TURNS THE ENGINE OFF, IF I TRY TO GO AT THE SAME MOMENT IT TURNS OFF, THE CAR STALLS. IT IS VERY RARE BUT HAS HAPPENED 2-4 TIMES. THE CAR STARTS AGAIN BUT IT TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AS A "CERTIFIED PRE OWNED BY HONDA" AND FOUR DAYS AFTER THE PURCHASE THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, IN "PARK" WHEN I HIT THE START/STOP ENGINE BUTTON AND THE VEHICLE DIDN'T START. ALARMS STARTED TO GO OFF SO I ASSUMED IT WAS THE KEY WAS STILL INSIDE THE HOUSE. AS I WENT INSIDE TO CHECK, MAYBE A FEW SECONDS, WHEN I WENT BACK OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE WAS GONE. I FOUND IT IN MY FRONT YARD. IT HAD ROLLED OFF WHILE IN PARK WITHOUT ENGINE ON. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED TO HONDA, DAYS LATER I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE START/STOP ENGINE SYSTEM AND THAT IT ALSO NEEDED THE ENTIRE A/C SYSTEM REPLACED. ATTACHED YOU WILL FIND THE PHOTO I TOOK OF THE VEHICLE STILL IN PARK WHEN I FOUND IT IN MY FRONT YARD.

THE BOARD IS SHOWING THIS MESSAGE AFTER I TURN THE ENGINE ON: KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM

THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS. THE LOCK FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK WHEN YOU WALK AWAY FROM THE CAR. IT BEEPS ONCE, BUT DOES NOT LOCK. CONTINUE TO GET THE MESSAGE "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM". THE SCREEN (FOR RADIO AND SUCH) GOES BLACK. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. I CAN OPEN MY CAR DOOR AND IT WILL SAY "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM BEFORE I EVEN START THE CAR.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF,AUTOMATIC LOCKS DONT WORK ANYMORE

THE KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAR STILL STARTED BUT IT APPEARS TO BE A MALFUNCTION IN THE WARNING LIGHT SYSTEM ITSELF.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AWD SYSTEM LIGHT BOTH SPORADICALLY ON AND SLUGGISH ACCELAERATION - DISC IWTH MECHANIC, AFTER INSPECTION AND RESEARCH - FUEL INJECTOR ASSEMBLY NEEDING REPLACMENT LESS THAN 3 YEARS OWNERSHIP, ACCORDING OT MECHANIC, HONDA DELAERSHIPS KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND ARE SELLING A LOT OF FUEL INJECTOR SYSTEM AND AN ADDITIONAL REQUIRED PART

MY VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 50K MILES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I RECEIVE A DASHBOARD MESSAGE THAT SAYS "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" WHEN I TURN ON THE VEHICLE. THE MESSAGE STAYS DISPLAYED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ON, AND WILL ONLY GO OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF.

MY 2016 HONDA PILOT HAS STARTED DISPLAYING "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" ON DASHBOARD AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STILL OPERATES NORMALLY WITH EXCEPTION OF NOTICE ON THE DASHBOARD. I'VE RESEARCHED AND NUMEROUS OTHER 2016 HONDA PILOTS ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION.

THE TRANSMISSION IS JERKY AND CLUNKY IN LOWER GEARS. OFTEN WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST AND SECOND GEARS THE PILOT JERKS AND MISFIRES. HAPPENS SPORADICALLY, BUT CONSISTENTLY. STARTED AROUND 25 -30K MILES AND GETTING WORSE.

2016 HONDA PILOT BEGAN DISPLAYING "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" ON DASH BOARD AFTER STARTING CAR. VEHICLE STILL OPERATES NORMALLY MINUS THE WARNING LIGHT AND MESSAGE ON DASH. NUMEROUS OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND YEAR.

BACK UP CAMERA NOT WORKING.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. THE ERROR MESSAGE COMES AND GOES OVER THE LAST WEEK. WHAT'S CONCERNING IS THE REPORTS OF THE ENTIRE CAR TURNING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING OR IDLING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN 2016 HONDA PILOTS YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT.

IT ENGINE IS IDLE ALL THE TIME WHEN THE AC IS ON

AUTO START BUTTON FAILURE. JUST HAPPENED TO ME AT 36,000 MILES. DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS QUITE COMMON. THERE ALSO SEEMS TO BE NO PERMANENT FIX. WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE PURCHASING ANOTHER HONDA.

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.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHT COMES OFF AND ON.

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.

VEHICLE STATES KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM THOUGH NOTHING IS WRONG? 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.

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?!

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.

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.

GETTING AN ERROR - KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM THIS ERROR APPEARS AS SOON AS CAR IS STARTED AND DOESN'T GO AWAY

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.

CAR WON'T START. KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM

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.

KEY FOB SYSTEM ERROR

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, LARG

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.

THE BACK LIFTGATE IS HOLDING WATER INSIDE OF THE LIFTGATE. NOT SURE IF IT CAME FROM RAIN OR WASHING THE VEHICLE. WE OPENED THE LIFTGATE & WATER CAME POURING OUT.

IN ADDITION TO "KEYLESS ENTRY ERROR" MESSAGE THAT KEEPS POPPING UP ON MY DISPLAY THESE PAST FEW MONTHS, TODAY, MY CAR WON'T START AND IS DISPLAYING THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGES : "VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM", "HILL START ASSIST PROBLEM", "TRAILER STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM", "ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM". 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.

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.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM

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.

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.

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 ACC

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.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM WARNING CONTINUES TO COME UP IN MY 2016 PILOT FROM TALKING WITH MULTIPLE HONDA PILOT OWNERS IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE SWITCH (ENGINE START/STOP) BEING INSTALLED ARE FAULTY.

WARNING LIGHT SAYS "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM". I SEE IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM BASED ON WWW.PILOTEERS.COM GROUP

I HAVE A "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" MESSAGE ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 4 OR 5 MONTHS, STARTED WHEN I HAD 37000 OR 38000 MILES. DEALER WILL REPLACE WITH ONLY A 1 YEAR WARRANTY. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY PILOTS AT THE SAME MILEAGE. THE ERROR MESSAGE APPEARS WHEN THE SUV IS STARTED. IT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES. THEN IT WILL TURN OFF AFTER A WEEK OR SO. REAPPEARS AFTER ANOTHER WEEK OR SO.

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.

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.

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.

MY 2016 HONDA PILOT HAVE BEEN POPPING UP A 'KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM' MESSAGE . IT HAPPENED ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. IT'S SOMETIMES WILL GO AWAY AND COME BACK THE NEXT DAY. IT'S ON AND OFF. WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS THE 'WALK AWAY AUTO LOCK ' ALSO DIDN'T WORK TOO. I HOPE HONDA TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BY RECALLING THE MODEL.
