NHTSA Complaint #11033976 — 2016 HONDA PILOT

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.
