NHTSA Complaint #11315720 — 2019 HONDA PILOT

THE ISSUE STARTED WITH CRACKING/POPPING IN THE SPEAKERS. WE THEN GET A WARNING SAYING "CHECK TUNER" AND THEN THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM AND THE DISPLAY BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL SHUTDOWN. WE LOSE ALL SAFETY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE SPEEDOMETER. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY DURING DRIVING AND MEANS WE HAVE NO WAY OF TELLING HOW FAST WE ARE GOING. USUALLY THE SYSTEM STARTS BACK UP. HOWEVER, ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM HAS NOT RESTARTED EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS SHUT DOWN. ON THE MOST RECENT OCCASION BOTH THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM AND THE DISPLAY BEHIND THE DASH HAVE NOT RETURNED EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED. I CANNOT GET THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT AWAY AND CURRENTLY HAVE NO WAY TO TELL WHAT SPEED I AM GOING AS THE SPEEDOMETER LOCATED IN THE DASH DISPLAY IS OUT. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED IN ALL DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. IT HAS OCCURRED WITH OUR CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, CITY STREETS, AND PARKED. IT HAS EVEN OCCURRED WHILE BACKING UP. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. NOT ONLY IS IT DISTRACTING DRIVING WITHOUT SPEEDOMETER IS DANGEROUS.
