Consumer Description

ONCE MY HONDA PILOT HIT MILES OF 34,000, DASHBOARD IS SHOWS WARNING "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM". SHORTLY AFTER I AM HAVING PROBLEM WITH START BUTTON WHICH WON'T START ONE PRESS, I HAVE TO PRESS MANY TIMES TO START THE CAR... I HAVE CHANGED MY KEY FOB BATTERY, AND STILL HAVE SAME PROBLEMS. DEALERSHIP WON'T COVER THIS ISSUE ONCE THE CAR DROVE OVER 30,000 MILES. I DID RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE SPECIFICALLY HONDA PILOT 2016 MODEL. THERE ARE A LOT PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAME ISSUES. I AM AFRAID THAT MY CAR WON'T START ONE DAY. NEVER HAD ISSUE WITH OTHER HONDA MODELS... ALSO THIS MODEL 2016 HONDA PILOT HAS ISSUE WITH MUSIC DASHBOARD, EXAMPLE: THE RADIO DISPLAY WILL BLACK OUT DURING WHEN I AM DRIVING, SO HAD TO TURN OFF MY CAR AND TURN ON TO GET MY RADIO DISPLAY BACK OR ALL OF SUDDEN I CAN NOT CHANGE THE MUSIC VOLUME ETC... GOD KNOWS WHAT IS THE NEXT PROBLEM?!
