NHTSA Complaint #11351221 — 2020 HONDA PILOT

CRACKLING AND POPPING AROUND THE DASH AREA OCCURS WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WILL BLIP OR COMPLETELY GO OUT. WHILE DRIVING THE WHOLE DISPLAY PANEL HAS BLACKED OUT. I HAD TO PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 15 MIN BEFORE THE DISPLAYS CAME BACK ON. ALSO WHILE IN MOTION, THE BACK UP CAMERA WILL BLACK OUT. PROBABLY THE WORST ISSUE IS THAT RANDOMLY, ON THE FREEWAY OR IN TOWN, THE CRASH SENSOR DETECTS SOMETHING THAT ISN'T THERE AND THE "BRAKE" WARNING FLASHES AT ME. THE CAR HAS EVEN BRAKED FOR ME, WHICH THANKFULLY HAPPENED IN TOWN WHILE NOT AT A HIGH SPEED. THESE ELECTRICAL ISSUES STARTED WITH LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE FIRST TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, THEY SAID IT WAS CRIMPED WIRING BY THE FACTORY. THE "REPAIR" LASTED LESS THAN 2 WEEKS. THREE MONTHS LATER, TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, 3 TIMES IN THE SHOP, AND THE PROBLEM STILL HAS NOT/CAN NOT BE FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOW TELLING ME THEY HAVE A TSB FOR THE POPPING/CRACKLING BUT THE PARTS ARE BACK ORDERED. WE'LL SEE. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA ON THIS.
