Consumer Description

Keyless start system error: Vehicle displayed a warning with this message. I had the vehicle battery changed and the warning code went away. A month later the same warning code returned. In reviewing blogs, others say it is most likely the keyless start button gone bad. Honda fix is reported to be $400. Worried that the vehicle could lose power while moving or not be able to start in an environment that my safety could be jeopardized. Many blog entries from others with this same problem with 2017 Honda Ridgelines.
