2016 Honda Pilot complaints

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.

INDICATOR LIGHT: KEYLESS START PROBLEM I WAS TOLD THE START SWITCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. $300. LESS THAN 50,000 MILES.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET WHEN SEVERAL ALERTS WENT OFF ON MY DASHBOARD: ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, TRAILER STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM, HILL START ASSIST PROBLEM, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM, EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM, POWER STEERING SYSTEM PROBLEM. I COULD FIND NO REASON FOR THESE ALERTS. I TOOK MY CAR INTO A DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO ISSUE AND THE LIGHTS WERE TURNED OFF. 10 DAYS LATER THEY ALL CAME ON AGAIN AS I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL STREET. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WENT TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER, THE LIGHTS HAD TURNED OFF. I TOOK IT IN ANYWAY, AND THEY AGAIN SAID THERE WAS NO ISSUE. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA CORPORATION AND WAS TOLD BY ONE AGENT THAT THIS WASN'T THE FIRST TIME THE ISSUE HAD COME UP IN A NEWER MODEL PILOT. AGAIN 2 DAYS AGO, ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND NOW ALSO THE BRAKE ASSIST ALERT IS ALSO ON. I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. I AM CONCERNED ALL THE FALSE ALARMS MAY BE HIDING AN UNDERLYING ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT. I ALSO FEEL THAT HONDA GLOBAL IS NOT TAKING ME SERIOUSLY AS I AM ACTIVE DUTY STATIONED OVERSEAS AND HAVE TO RELY ON LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIPS THAT DO NOT HAVE MUCH EXPERIENCE WITH THE HONDA PILOT. THE DATES OF THE LIGHTS WERE 17 SEPT, 27 SEPT, AND 6 OCT 2018.

HONDA PILOT 2016 MODEL WITH 30000 MILES HAS STALLED ON HIGHWAY INTERSTATE SUDDENLY WITHIN 2 MIN OF SIGNALLING MESSAGES OF ENGINE TEMPERATURE TOO HOT, TRANSMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM, EMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM ETC...AND WENT INTO NEUTRAL MODE WITH FAILURE OF BRAKES. CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO BRAKES AS IT WENT TO NEUTRAL STATE. ALSO NOTICED A BURNING OR GASOLINE SMELL INSIDE THE CAR . I HAD TO APPLY PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING ON HIGHWAY WHICH COULD HAVE LED TO A MAJOR CRASH. AS I WAS NOT ON THE SPEEDING LANES, THINGS WERE NOT WORSE. I HAD TO CALL 911 AND THEY HELPED ME MOVE MY CAR TO A SHOULDER AND LATER TOWED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME HAPPENING FOR THE SAME ISSUE WHERE EARLIER IT HAPPENED ON A LOCAL ROAD. THE SAME DEALER KEPT THE CAR FOR A WEEK AND RETURNED THE CAR SAYING ITS FIXED.WITHIN 30 MIN OF DRIVING INTO THE HIGHWAY, IT STALLED AGAIN THIS TIME THE SITUATION BEING ON HIGHWAY. THE CAR IS NOW RETURNED TO SAME DEALER WHO FIXED FIRST TIME AND IS UNDER INVESTIGATION.

THE VEHICLE STARTS TO STUTTER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING THE RPM GAUGE FLUCTUATES GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHILE MAINTAINING SPEED. BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO HONDA DEALERSHIP THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS FUEL INJECTOR FAILED AND IT WASN'T THE FIRST TIME OF THEM HEARING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. MANY INSTANCES SEEN ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.

POWER STEERING, EMISSIONS, TRAILER STABILITY, HILL ASSIST WARNING INDICATION DISPLAYED ON DASH. ALL OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME ONE RIGHT AFTER THE OTHER. I COULDN'T DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE OF ALL OF THESE WARNINGS.

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.

COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM (CMBS) COMPUTER OVERLOAD IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH VEHICLE IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY. CMBS COMPUTER SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT RESET WITHOUT TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALER. DEALER REBOOTED COMPUTER FOR $62 AND ADVISED TURNING OFF CMBS BEFORE ENTERING CONSTRUCTION ZONES TO AVOID A REPEAT. TURNING OFF A SAFETY FEATURE WITH A DIFFICULT-TO-FIND SWITCH WHILE DRIVING IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WOULD BE UNSAFE. DRIVING WITHOUT A SAFETY FEATURE WOULD BE IRRESPONSIBLE AND POTENTIALLY UNSAFE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND YET HONDA DOES NOT WARN OWNERS ABOUT IT BUT INSTEAD MAKES MONEY FROM IT.

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, I SLOWED TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURNING MERGE ONTO ANOTHER HIGHWAY. AS I WAS SLOWING, I GOT A TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WARNING IN THE DASH. WHEN I HIT THE ACCELERATOR TO MERGE SAFELY,THE CAR ABRUPTLY BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED AND MY INPUT TO THE GAS PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WHEN IT CAME TO A STOP, I HEARD A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND HAD IT TOWED TO GARY SMITH HONDA. GARY SMITH FOUND AN ISSUE WITH AN OIL PRESSURE SWITCH BUT THE SERVICE TECH CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

***AUTO IDLE STOP MALFUNCTION** WHILE IN MOVING TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA, THE PILOT HAS STALLED AND EVEN POWERED OFF WHILE THE AUTO IDLE STOP FUNCTION WAS ENGAGED. THE CAR POWERED DOWN AND REQUIRED A RE-START WHICH NEEDED MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO ACTUALLY TAKE EFFECT (UP TO 20 SECONDS-MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS). THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO SOLUTION TO OFFER AND HONDA HAS NO RECALL AVAILABLE TO COVER THE ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS WHEN THE AUTO IDLE FEATURE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T "REPRODUCE" THE ISSUE WHILE IN THEIR POSSESSION SO ONLY OFFERED TO KEEP IT LONGER (TO DRIVE IT IN REAL WORLD SCENARIOS) AND ATTEMPT TO REPRODUCE THE MALFUNCTION.

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

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.

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.

WHILE TRAVELING ON I-95 AT ABOUT 75 MPH, EVERY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND CHANGED INTO NEUTRAL. WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER BUT THE CAR IN PARK. WE DID NOT TURN THE CAR OFF BC WE WANTED A/C AS LONG AS POSSIBLE (OCCURRED ON JUNE IN GA, HOT). THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR SO WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THE FOLLOWING DAY AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WHERE ABLE TO GET AN ERROR CODE TO APPEAR. AFTER CONTACTING AMERICAN HONDA, THE TECHNICIAN WAS TOLD THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. HE WAS TOLD TO CLEAR THE CODE AND IF THE CODE REOCCURRED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BUT IF NOT, THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. WELL, THE CODE WOULD NOT DUPLICATE EVEN AFTER THE DEALERSHIP TRIED FOR MULTIPLE DAYS. WE DROVE BACK TO GA FOR OUR 4 HOUR DRIVE HOME AND PRAYED IT WOULD MAKE IT BACK TO HOME. LUCKILY IT DID; HOWEVER, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS IN LOW GEARS AND WE ARE JUST WAITING ON IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. BY THE WAY THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. IT HAPPENED TWICE IN TOWN DURING THE MONTH OF MAY. THEY DID A SERVICE UPDATE AND REPLACED ALL OF THE FUEL INJECTORS (OUT OF POCKET AS IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY). IT IS REALLY TROUBLESOME THAT HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND I PERSONALLY HAD THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES & HAVE A CAR WITH A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THE LAST OCCURRENCE WAS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AS WE HAD OUR FAMILY & DOG AND STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR OVER 2 HOURS IN TRYING TO GET THE CAR TOWED. PL

[2016 HONDA PILOT EXL AWD WITH SENSING, 28 K MILES AND 2.4 YEARS SINCE PURCHASE] ON FRIDAY AUG/24/2018 WHILE DRIVING HOME (AROUND 40MPH) THE VSA LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR BARELY 4-5 SECONDS AND THEN TURNED OFF. DID NOT NOTICE ANY MAJOR ISSUES THEN. ON SUNDAY 26/AUG/2018 WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 30-35 MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ALMOST LIKE THE BRAKES HAD BEEN APPLIED (DID NOT NOTICE THE ORANGE BRAKE SIGN OR THE COLLISION WARNING BEEP SOUND). I WAS ON THE RIGHT LANE WITH NO ONE BEHIND OR AHEAD OF ME AND NO OBSTACLES IN FRONT. TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHT AND THEN NOTICED THAT THE VSA LIGHT WAS ON. CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AND JUST KEPT REVVING WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN IN DRIVE, NO CHANGE. PUSHED THE VSA BUTTON TO TURN OFF VSA AND BOTH THE VSA LIGHT AND THE VSA OFF LIGHT STAYED ON BUT THE CAR WOULD STILL NOT MOVE. SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT AFTER WHICH THE LIGHTS WENT OFF, AND THE CAR STARTED MOVING (ALTHOUGH SLOWLY). DROVE HOME WITH VSA TURNED OFF AND AT A SPEED OF AROUND 20-30 MPH. THE ABRUPT BRAKING/STOPPING WAS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AND WOULD HAVE CAUSED A COLLISION EVEN IN REGULAR TRAFFIC ON ANY OTHER DAY. NOTE: THE KEY FOB WAS LOW ON BATTERY AND THE ONLY OTHER WARNING I HAD ON THE CONSOLE WAS ONE INFORMING ABOUT THE KEY FOB BATTERY BEING LOW.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE JERKS FORWARD WHEN IT CHANGES SPEED OR GEAR.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, IF I GO OVER CERTAIN TYPES OF ROUGH ROAD, I.E. RAILROAD TRACKS, THE ENGINE WILL STOP AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. IT IS A MOMENTARY, LESS THAN 1 SEC, SHUT DOWN. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. I AM DRIVING 5 MPH OR SLOWER AS I AM GOING OVER A ROUGH BUMP.

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.

I WAS TRAVELING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF AROUND 75MPH. I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN SO PULLED MY FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR AND SLOWED BY ABOUT 10MPH. WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN I HAD NO POWER AND THE CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE FOR THE NEXT 10-15 SECONDS. I HAD NO POWER AND HAD A CAR COMING IN CLOSE BEHIND ME AND A BIG RIG TO MY RIGHT. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE CAR FINALLY KICKED INTO GEAR AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE. AFTER TAKING IT TO HONDA TO BE CHECKED THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT "DUPLICATE" THIS NOR FIND ANYTHING IN THE LOG BUT HONDA HAS PLACED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION. AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ISN'T GOING TO SAVE OUR LIVES IF THIS SITUATION OCCURS AGAIN. HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

9 SPEED TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 2X. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, HAD TO PULL OVER TO SHOULDER WITH NO POWER. VERY DANGEROUS. HONDA IS REPLACING TRANSMISSION WITH 48K MILES ON CAR. THEY ARE NOT EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION.

THE TRUCK ACCELERATED DOWNHILL WITH A JERKING PUSH. IT JERKS A LOT WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. IT ALSO HESITATES TO GO AFTER MAKING A STOP. THIS IS A SAFER HAZARD. WHEN TH VEHICLE IS MOVING A SLOW SPEED, IT IS SLUGGISH, JERKY. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM, BUT THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR IT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE W

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.

DRIVE SEAT NO LONGER ADJUSTS. MAKES CLICKING NOISE WHEN TRYING TO PUSH THE BUTTON FOR ADJUSTMENT. SHORT PERSON CAN NO LONGER DRIVE BECAUSE CAN'T SEE OVER STEERING WHEEL.

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.

MY 2016 HONDA PILOT WITH 32K ON THE ODOMETER HAS MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. IT JERKS / SLIPS ON ACCELERATION AND DOWNSHIFTS WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP. I AM BRINGING IT IN FOR SERVICE BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ FROM OTHER OWNERS THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH HONDA.

DURING EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER, ALL SYSTEM FAILURE INDICATIONS SCROLL ON THE DISPLAY. HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND WILL RESET ITSELF OVER TIME. I RENDERS THE SYSTEMS USELESS AS WELL. ALARMS INCLUDE HILL START ASSIST, TRAILER STABILITY ASSIST, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION ASSIST, EMISSIONS, AWD AND EPS. MANY OF THESE SYSTEMS ARE SAFETY FEATURES AND NO LONGER RESPOND UNTIL BATTERY CABLE IS REMOVED OR RESET AFTER TIME.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH AND HEARD A BIG POP (SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT). THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE PERFECT AND THE ROAD ITSELF IS VERY SMOOTH. SO MY WIFE PULLED OVER AND SAW THAT HER SUN ROOF HAD EXPLODED. SO I ASKED IF ANYTHING HIT THE SUNROOF AND SHE SAID NO. SO I LOOKED AT THE SUN ROOF WHEN SHE GOT HOME AND IT WAS SHATTERED FROM CORNER TO CORNER. NO WAY A ROCK OR FLYING DEBRIS COULD CAUSE THAT. LUCKILY THE SUNROOF COVER WAS CLOSED, SO SHE DID NOT GET HIT WITH SHARDS OF GLASS. I TOOK THE CAR INTO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY AGREED THAT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO CAUSE THAT KIND OF DAMAGE TO THE SUN ROOF WITH A ROCK. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE "WARRANTY" AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE NEW WINDOW WHICH WAS CLOSE TO $700.

SOMETIMES THE RPM DROPS AND THE VEHICLE HAS A HARD SHIFT JERKING THE CAR FORWARD. IT HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE EVERY OTHER WEEK BUT DOESN'T LAST LONG. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN IT HAPPENS I CAN'T TAKE THE CAR IN BECAUSE I'M AT WORK AND WHEN I DO TAKE IT IN IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN I DRIVE. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I DRIVE AT. I WAS ABLE TO RECORD IT WHEN IT HAPPENED AND BROUGHT IT IN TO THE MECHANIC BUT THEY SAID IF THEY CAN'T RECREATE IT THEN IT'S NOT AN ISSUE. I'M AFRAID OF THIS BECOMING A BIGGER ISSUE CAUSING ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. HONDA WAS NO HELP. TOLD ME IF I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE THEN THE INSURANCE WILL TAKE CARE OF IT. HAVING KIDS, I DON'T WANT TO "WAIT" FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY DECIDE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS.

CAR INTERMITTENTLY FILLS WITH GASOLINE FUMES WHEN BEING FUELED. HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE NEW; LOCAL DEALER VERIFIED FUMES RECENTLY, BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR REPAIR IT.

BLOWER MOTOR CONNECTOR MELTED TO WIRING HARNESS. UNKNOWN AS TO WHAT CAUSED THIS ISSUES, ROUGHLY 31K MILES.

THE TIRES MADE BY GOODYEAR AND SOLD UNDER THE BRAND CONTINENTAL APPEAR TO BE FAILING. MY VEHICLE 2016 HONDA PILOT TOURING WISH I HAVE HAD FOR APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS APPEARS TO BE FACTORY INSTALLED TIRE THAT ARE A POTENTIAL ROAD HAZARD THAT MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES AND OR DEATH.I DRIVE IN CALIFORNIA WITH POSTED SPEED LIMITS OF 70 MILES PER HOUR. A BLOW OUT AT THIS RATE OF SPEED MAY AND HAVE CAUSED DEATHS IN THE PAST. WHICH HAVE INCLUDED BUT NOT LIMITED TO FORD MOTOR CO. VEHICLE EXPLORER VEHICLE RECALL. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE MY DAUGHTER IN A CASKET JUST BECAUSE A COMPANY REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT. MY TIRES ARE MISSING CHUNKS AND IT MAKE IT HARD TO DRIVE SAFELY.

I WAS DRIVING AT 75MPH ON A HEAVILY CONGESTED AREA OF THE INTERSTATE. VEHICLE WAS RUNNING NORMAL, THEN THE EMISSIONS LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY 'TRANSMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM' AND I LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE, DESPITE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT UP OR DOWN AND I NARROWLY MISSED BEING IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT AS I FOUGHT TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. ONCE IN PARK, THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND THEN REVVED AT A RAPID RATE. I WAS AFRAID IT WOULD DAMAGE THE MOTOR SO I SHUT IT OFF. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, APPARENTLY THERE IS A WELL KNOWN TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE.

WHEN STARTING THE CAR IT SHOWS THE MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN "POWER STEERING SYSTEM (EPS) PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM STARTED WITHIN 6 MONTHS I BOUGHT THIS CAR, BUT I DID NOT TAKE IT AS SERIOUS, BUT NOW IT ALWAYS SHOWS THIS MESSAGE. AT FIRST THIS PROBLEM WAS ONLY ON EXTREME COLD WEATHER, BUT NOW IT SHOWS AT LEAST ONCE IN A WEEK.

WHEN STARTING THE CAR IT SHOWS THE MESSAGE "POWER STEERING SYSTEM (EPS) PROBLEM". FIRST I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF I BOUGHT THIS CAR AND AT THAT TIME I DID NOT TAKE IT AS SERIOUS, BUT NOW AT LEAST ONCE IN A WEEKS IT SHOWS THIS MESSAGE.

VEHICLE GOES INTO "LIMP MODE" WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. YOU CANNOT SHIFT OR ACCELERATE. INDICATOR FLASHES EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM, TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, AWD PROBLEM ALONG WITH MULTIPLE LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS HONDA ADVISES CODES WERE CLEARED AND CONTACT THEM AGAIN IF PROBLEMS REOCCURS. THIS IS THE SECOND 2016 PILOT ELITE WE HAVE OWNED WITH THIS PROBLEM!

OIL LEAKING UNDERNEATH CAR. THIS SHOWS UP AS A PUDDLE IN MY GARAGE - IT'S A SLOW LEAK. I THINK IT'S PROBABLY THE SAME ISSUE AS WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE OTHER 2016 HONDA PILOTS AND THE SEAL ON THE OIL CONTAINER, BUT MY SPECIFIC CAR HASN'T BEEN FLAGGED.

PASSENGER'S SEAT AIRBAG CONNECTOR WILL NOT CONNECT TO THE ORIGINAL AIRBAG.

STEERING WHEEL IS NOT STRAIGHT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I TOOK THE SUV SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAID THAT IS A DEFECT ON THE CHASSIS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT . THEY SAID THAT HONDA'S ENGINEER ARE WORKING ON THIS ISSUE. NOW IS MORE THAN A YEAR AND MY SUV HAS SAME PROBLEM STILL.

EMMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEMS. DEALER SAY ITS A " P0430" -POWERTRAIN CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHOLD

2016 HONDA HAD RECALL FOR FUEL TANK LEAKAGE. MY VIN OUT OF THAT RANGE BUT I NOTICE RECENTLY MY HONDA PILOT 2016 HAVE LEAKAGE TOO. WHEN FUELING I SAW UNDERNEATH CAR THERE'S FUEL DROPPING. HONDA SAID MY CAR NOT IN THE RANGE. SO I WANT TO CLAIM REPORT THERE IS MORE CAR OUT THERE EXPOSED SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD SITUATION.

MY CAR CONSTANTLY HESITATES AND MAKES A NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING. MY HONDA DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER A YEAR.

SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON THE INTERSTATE. WAS NOT HIT BY ANY MOVING OBJECT.
