NHTSA Complaint #11408535 — 2020 HONDA PILOT

MY 2020 PILOT HAS SEVERAL ISSUES. 1. THE DASHBOARD AND INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM BLACKOUT. IN SEPT 2020, HONDA REPLACED THE MOST MODULE AND SAID THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, MY INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM AGAIN WENT BLANK (3/6/2021), I HAD NO BACK UP CAMERA OR INFORMATION. THIS FIX OBVIOUSLY DID NOT WORK. I TOOK VIDEO ON MY PHONE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HONDA, THEY WOULD NOT LOOK AT MY VIDEO AND SAID THAT THEY NEEDED TO RECREATE IT (3/26/21). THEY DID NOTHING. I ALSO GOT THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE SEVERAL DAYS LATER (3/12/21), "UNFORTUNATELY, COM.HONDA.TELEPHONYSERVICE HAS STOPPED." I ALSO SHOWED THIS TO THE HONDA SERVICE CENTER, THEY SAID INTERESTING, WE HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT. THEY DID NOT WANT MY PICTURE, AND COULD NOT RECREATE, SO THEY DID NOTHING. THE CRACKLING/POPPING NOISE IS ALSO BACK AFTER IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED, WITH THE HONDA REPAIR. THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THIS EITHER, SO THEY DID NOTHING. 2. I HAVE ISSUES WITH THE FORWARD COLLISION BRAKING, AUTO SENSING. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND WHEN DRIVING ON TWO LANE ROADS, HEAD ON TO THE OTHER TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE CONSTANTLY BRAKES. WHEN DRIVING OVER TWO LANE BRIDGES, WHICH I DO OFTEN, IT BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES A TRIP TRYING TO GET OVER THE BRIDGE. THIS IS NOT SAFE. ONE TIME I WAS ON 66 IN VA (1/27/21), AT NIGHT, AN 18 WHEELER WAS COMING OFF AN EXIT RAMP, I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE. THE VEHICLE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND DROPPED MY SPEED APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MPH FOR NO REASON. THE 18 WHEELER WAS STILL ON THE EXIT RAMP. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. THE BRAKE SENSING IT TOO SENSITIVE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR THIS, THEY COULD NOT RECREATE AND TOLD ME TO TURN IT OFF. THAT IS NOT AN ANSWER. IF A VEHICLE HAS SAFETY OPTIONS, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE THEM AND NOT BE TOLD TO TURN THEM OFF! THE 2020 PILOT HAS A LOT OF ISSUES THAT ARE NOT BEING FIXED. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD.
