2016 HONDA PILOT Electrical System Problems

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHT SHOWS UP, LOOKS LIKE THE PUSH TO START MODULE IS DEFECTIVE

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM APPEARS WHEN I START THE CAR. THE CAR STILL STARTS (FOR NOW AT LEAST) BUT I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA PILOTS ESPECIALLY AROUND THE 33,000 TO 38,000 MILES. HONDA DOES NOT SEEM TO KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS.

THE PUSH BUTTON TO START THE BUTTON IS VERY UNRELIABLE. I HAVE YOU PUSH THE BUTTON DOZENS OF TIMES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO TURN ON OR OFF. I ALSO GET A WARNING ON THE DASH THAT SAYS, "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM"

MY CAR DIED ON ME AT A STOP SIGN WITH THE IDLE START/STOP FEATURE WITH 50K MILES ON IT ON 12/3/2019. (ONE WEEK PRIOR, THE 'EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM' POPPED UP.) I CAME TO A STOP AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. THE IDLE START/STOP KICKED IN. WHEN I WENT TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO HIT THE GAS, MY PILOT COMPLETELY DIED ON ME. IT WOULDN'T RESTART. MY DASH LOOKED LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT LIGHTS/WARNINGS POPPING UP EVERY TIME I WOULD TRY TO START IT. MY FRIEND CAME TO JUMP IT & IT WOULD NOT START. AFTER OVER 2.5 HOURS BLOCKING TRAFFIC & 2 POLICE OFFICERS HAVING TO DIRECT TRAFFIC, WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK, I FINALLY GOT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. FIRST DAY THEY SAID THEY HAD NO CLUE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. 2ND DAY THEY CALLED & SAID THE PROBLEM...

SINCE BUYING THIS VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION AND COMPUTER MODULE HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE DUE TO SIMILAR PROBLEM. WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING AROUND A CORNER ON A CITY BLOCK SO TURNING LEFT AT 15 MILES PER HOUR THE TRANSMISSION SUFFERED A FAILURE AND ERROR MESSAGE AND ACCELERATED FORCING HIM OFF THE ROAD. DEALER HAS DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE.

PART 35881-TG7-702 - THE DASHBOARD START BUTTON - IS DEFECTIVE AND NO LONGER WORKING CONSISTENTLY AT 48,000 MILES. I HAVE TO HIT THE START BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE CAR TO START AND ONCE IT STARTS I OFTEN GET AN ERROR MESSAGE ""KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM - IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART, NOT A REPAIR I HAVE TO PAY FOR.

THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS A 'KEYLESS START SYSTEM' ISSUE. MESSAGE IS ON DASHBOARD CONSTANTLY. LOOKING AT COMPLAINT BOARDS FOR 2016 HONDA PILOT, I'M SHOCKED THIS ISN'T A RECALL. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. AND A WORRY THAT CAR WILL SUDDENLY STOP WHILE ON HIGHWAY. ALSO THE CAR HAS A CONSTANT 'REV, REV, REV' PULLING AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING. ALWAYS AN ISSUE WHEN BEHIND SOMEONE AND YOU WORRY IT WILL REV AND JUMP AHEAD AND HIT CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT BUT STILL NOT FIXED. AGAIN LOOKING AT BOARDS, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM IS SHOWING IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I NOTICED LOTS OF HONDA PILOT OWNER ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES. I AM ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE BUT I AM AFRAID IT MAY HAVE TO DO WITH THE ENGINE BEING DISABLED SO I WILL PARK IT UNTIL THERE IS A SOLUTION. THIS HAS TO BE A DEFECT.

AFTER AUTOMATIC IDLE ENGINE STOP/START ENGAGES AND SHUT OFF VEHICLE AT STOP LIGHT, VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT RESTART AUTOMATICALLY. RESULTS IN BEING STOPPED AND STALLED OUT IN TRAFFIC FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER WHICH IT WILL RESTART VIA MANUAL PROCESS.

PURCHASED A 2016 PILOT EX-L CERTIFIED USED WITH 8K. WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKES, THEY WOULD GO PRETTY FAR DOWN BEFORE ENGAGING. IF I LET UP ON THE PEDAL AND PRESS AGAIN, THEY IMMEDIATELY GRAB LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN SEVERAL TIMES, BRAKES BLED AND FLUSHED, STILL THE SAME. I WAS INFORMED THAT HONDA SAYS THE DISTANCE OF BRAKE PEDAL PRESSING DOWN IS 2" IS NORMAL. I ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE SCREEN GOING OUT, AND THE DRIVER SIDE VENT WOULDN'T STAY UP, AND THE A/C WASN'T COOLING PROPERTY. ALSO THE SYSTEM WONT CONNECT TO MY PHONE RANDOMLY. I NOW HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. MAKES A RATTLING NOISE WHILE DRIVING/COASTING AT ANY SPEED. HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BUMPER AND HOOD NOISE. AFTER PAYING FOR THAT, I STILL HAVE THE NOISE. THE RPMS JUMPS FROM UNDER 2 TO JUST...

STARTED CAR ONE MORNING AND KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR HAS POPPED UP AND HAS STAYED ON. WENT OFF FOR ONE DAY AND THEN CAME ON NEXT DAY.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR. THIS ERROR MESSAGE POPS UP ON THE SCREEN FOR WEEKS AT A TIME AND THE DISAPPEARS FOR AWHILE ONLY TO REAPPEAR. SO FAR I HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM ACTUALLY STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS THE SWITCH ASSEMBLY, ENGINE START & STOP - HONDA (35881-TG7-A03). THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE HONDA PILOT PROBLEM FORUMS, YET HONDA DOES NOT RECALL THE VEHICLES TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD THE DEALERS CHARGE ~ $150 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND $300-400 TO REPLACE THE UNIT. I WATCHED A VIDEO OF A HANDYMAN REPLACE THE UNIT IN 7 MINUTES AND HE PAID ONLY $70 FOR THE PART. THIS IS CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR NY HONDA AND ITS DEALERS IN MY OPINION. I WILL JUST FIX IT MYSELF, BUT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. YOUTUBE VIDEO OF PROBLEM AND REPAIR.

FEYFOB COMMUNICATION ISSUE. PROVIDES WARNING THAT SYSTEMS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. PURCHASED 2016 PILOT NEW FROM LOCAL DEALER. NO OTHER MAJOR ISSUES

THE CAR IS SHOWING "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" SIGN WHEN I JUST TURN ON THE CAR THESE DAYS.

I AM GETTING A KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR, NOBODY KNOWS WHY OR CAN FIX IT WITH THE SEVERAL MEASURES THEY HAVE TRIED.

I AND SEVERAL OTHER 2016 HONDA PILOT OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE CODE ABOUT THE AUTO START/STOP FUNCTION HAVING A PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY BLAMED THE ISSUE ON "CRITTERS," AS IN RODENTS/SQUIRRELS. I ASSURE YOU THIS IS NOT THE CASE! THE LIGHT APPEARED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND IT ALSO AFFECTED MY AUTO LOCK FEATURE ON THE VEHICLE. THIS MALFUNCTION IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE 2016 PILOT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULD TROUBLESHOOT WHERE THE MALFUNCTION IS BUT IT WOULD COST ME, STARTING AT $150. THE MECHANIC RESET THE CODE (FOR $65) AND IT HAS NOT SHOWN UP IN THE PAST WEEK SINCE I TOOK IT IN. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS ISSUE AND HONDA SHOULD MAKE THIS A RECALL. THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR SAFETY ISSUE.

FAULTY START/STOP SWITCH-BASIC INTERNET SEARCH REFLECTS THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH 2016 HONDA PILOTS. THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHEN THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED AND MAY NOT RESTART DUE TO FAULTY SWITCH. WE HAD TO REPLACE SWITCH AT A COST OF $299.13. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES.

THE KEYLESS IGNITION SWITCH (PN: 35881-TG7-A03) FAILED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT START, THE DEALER (KEENAN HONDA, DOYLESTOWN, PA) CHARGED US $127.74 FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART (RETAIL IS $68.20) AND ANOTHER $149.00 FOR LABOR (SHOULD ONLY HAVE TAKEN 10 MIN PER YOUTUBE).

ERROR ' KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM'. IT HAS 57K MILES.

AFTER 4 YEARS AND 53,000 MILES, WE'RE NOW GETTING A KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR WHILE SHUTTING OFF OR TURNING ON THE VEHICLE WHILE STOPPED. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS GENERATION PILOT AND RIDGELINE VEHICLES, ACCORDING TO VEHICLE OWNERS AT PILOTEERS.ORG, THE PROBLEM USUALLY IS A FAILING PUSH-TO-START BUTTON. SO FAR, OUR VEHICLE STARTS, BUT THE WALK-AWAY LOCKING SYSTEM NO LONGER WORKS. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SECURITY SYSTEM ALARMS, DASHBOARD MALFUNCTION, AND A FAILURE TO START.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED ALONG WITH AWD, KEYLESS START SYSTEM, EMISSIONS SYSTEM, UPHILL START, TRAILER ASSISTANCE, ETC. HAVE HAD TWO ENGINE COILS REPLACED AND A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. THE LIGHTS GO OFF FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN RETURN. HAVE SPENT $250 IN DIAGNOSTICS AND NOTHING IS FIXED. REPLACED BATTERIES IN BOTH KEY FOBS. I WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE START/STOP BUTTON FOR $375. DEALERSHIP ALSO RECOMMENDED REPLACING FUEL INJECTORS FOR $1600.NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL FIX ANY OF THE ISSUES.

THE CAR ENGINE/BATTERY SHUTS OFF AT STOP LIGHTS AND RED LIGHTS WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BREAK PEDAL. THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURRED A YEAR AGO. HONDA INITIALLY TOLD US THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE AND UNTIL WE PRESSED ABOUT FINDING A KNOWN ISSUE REPORTED ONLINE THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. EVENTUALLY A REGIONAL SERVICE REP WAS INVOLVED WHO SAID THE ISSUE WAS KNOWN AND WAS WITH THE BATTERY. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND FOR ONE YEAR HAD BEEN OKAY UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN SAME ISSUE BEGAN OCCURRING AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE TURNING OFF. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. I AM NOW WAITING ON A REPEAT SERVICE VISIT ON OCTOBER 8, 2020 TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE THIS YEAR.

MY PILOT HAS A MESSAGE THAT READS "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM." I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY IN THE PHONE AND REPLACED THE PUSH BUTTON START ASSEMBLY. NOTHING HAS REMOVED THE MESSAGE. I HAVE SEARCHED HONDA PILOT FORUMS AND FOUND HUNDREDS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND THAT NO DEALERSHIP HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. MOST HAVE SPENT $500 + AT DEALERSHIPS WITH NO RESULTS.MY MESSAGE STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. HONDA SHOULD FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG AND RECALL ON EFFECTED CARS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

I'VE BEEN HAVING A WARNING LIGHT ISSUE BEING ENGINE START KEY ISSUE. I REPLACED KEY FOB BATTERY AND WARNING LIGHT DISAPPEARED FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS AND THEN IT REAPPEARED. I SEE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES

SUDDENLY STARTED DISPLAYING KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. USED SPARE KEY AND STOPES DOING IT FOR A DAY AND THEN STARTED DOING IT TOO.

THE KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE DEALERSHIP FINDS NO CODES TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE AUTO ENGINE SHUTOFF TO CONSERVE GAS WHEN THE BAKE IS DEPRESSED WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF THE CAR AND I AM NOT ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIME FROM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPING IN TRAFFIC TO BEING IN THE CITY STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT. IT CAN TAKE UP TO A MINUTE OR MORE TO GET THE CAR TO START AGAIN. THE ONLY WAY TO DISABLE THIS FROM HAPPENING IS TO MANUALLY SHUT OFF THIS FEATURE EVERY TIME I START THE VEHICLE.

THE CAR STALL DIDN'T START AFTER THE IDLE START AND NOW I HAVE KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR COMES ON AND OFF SINCE ABOUT 50,000 MILES. I OFTEN HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES TO START THE VEHICLE EVEN WITH A NEW BATTERY. TRANSMISSION ISSUES OFTEN AS WE ARE DRIVING ALONG THERE IS A BUMPINESS WHETHER ACCELERATING OR JUST DRIVING ALONG. THIS STARTED AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES

KEYLESS START ENTRY SYSTEM ERROR HAS GONE INTERMITTENTLY FOR A YEAR OR SO ON MY 2016 HONDA PILOT. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS IN HONDA ONLINE DISCUSSION BOARDS. DOES NOT APPEAR TO AFFECT PERFORMANCE YET, BUT IS FRIGHTENING TO THINK CAR MAY NOT START OR MAY QUIT RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING. ERROR LIGHT IS ON WHEN CAR IS PARKED OR RUNNING.

VEHICLE STALLS AND SHUTS DOWN WHEN START/STOP SYSTEM IS ENGAGED. WHEN STOPPED IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN, STALLED COMPLETELY, HAVING TO TURN IT OFF AND ON. TURNING IT OFF IS WAS NOT EASY AS THE START BUTTON WAS NOT WORKING. IT LEFT ME IN A VERY PRECARIOUS SITUATION WITH INCOMING TRAFFIC.

ALERT SHOWING KEYLESS REMOTE PROBLEM. CAR HAS TROUBLE STARTING. NO WAY FOR A MANUAL OVERRIDE. YOU MAY BE STUCK WHEREVER YOU ARE.

TL* THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER DAUGHTER'S PUSH START FEATURE FAILED TO OPERATE AS NEEDED WHEN DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IN A SERVICE REPORT, IT WAS STATED THAT THE KEY IMMOBILIZER CODE WOULD APPEAR ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LEJEUNE HONDA CARS (2221 N MARINE BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, NC 28546) WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE TIRE PRESSURE MOTORING SYSTEM (TPMS) CONTROL UNIT, WHICH CAUSED HER FAILURE. SHE DECLINED TO HAVE THE PART REPAIRED AFTER GIVEN AN ESTIMATE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT CERTAIN IF HER DAUGHTER HAD REACHED OUT TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,324.*DT*JB

WHEN I START MY CAR, I GET "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" ERROR ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS ERROR COMES SOMETIMES AND THEN GOES AWAY FOR DAYS AND THEN COMES BACK. SHOWED IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I SEE LOT OF PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ERROR ON HONDA FORUMS. THE CAR FUNCTIONS PROPERLY OTHERWISE BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS AND IF THERE IS ANY MAJOR PROBLEM WITH IT.

REPEATED MESSAGE FOR KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. VECHICLE TURNED OFF AT INTERSECTION WHILE IN DRIVE,, DRIVER REQUIRED TO PUT IN PARK TURN VECHILE OFF THEN ON AGAIN. WHILE DOING RESEARCH THIS HAPPENS TO A LOT OF OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. EVEN THOUGH SEVERAL PEOPLE GOT IT SUPPOSIDLY FIXED, PROBLEM AND ERROR MESSAGE PERSISTED.

I HAVE A 2016 TOURING MODEL. I PURCHASED IT USED FROM GLADSTONE HONDA (NOW SWICKARD) IN 2017. IN 2018 MY BATTERY SUDDENLY DIED DURING ERRANDS. I HAD THE CAR JUMPED AND REPLACED THE BATTERY FROM A LOCAL AUTO SUPPLY STORE. LAST YEAR, WE STARTED HEARING AN OCCASIONAL WEIRD CLICKING DURING IDLE-STOP. NOW, THIS YEAR, WHEN IN IDLE-STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT, OFTEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF, SLIPS INTO PARK MODE, FLASHES ERROR MESSAGES AND WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY START AGAIN WHEN PUSHING THE IGNITION BUTTON. SOMETIMES, I HAVE BEEN ON A HILL AND THE CAR ROLLS BACKWARDS. THERE IS NO WAY TO PERMANENTLY DISABLE THIS FEATURE, SO UNLESS YOU REMEMBER TO DISABLE IT EVERY TIME YOU START THE CAR, THE SAFETY MALFUNCTION REPEATS ITSELF. IT'S TERRIFYING AND DANGEROUS.

IDLE STOP ENGAGES WHILE STOPPED. WHEN TIME TO MOVE THE CAR SHUTS ITSELF OFF AND DOESN'T RESTART. HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND HIT THE START BUTTON SOMETIMES TWICE BEFORE IT WILL RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST 4-5 MONTHS.

2016 HONDA PILOT EX-L. FOR MONTHS, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHOWING A KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR MESSAGE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERIES IN BOTH FOBS AND I HAVE CHECKED ALL OF THE FUSES, AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH HONDA PILOTS.

I HAVE HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON ALMOST CONSTANTLY FOR THE LAST YEAR STATING 'IGNITION SYSTEM PROBLEM.' I HAVE TAKEN IT THE THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM ON 4 OCCASIONS. THEY 'FIXED IT' AND SAID IT WAS JUST A FAULTY SENSOR. THE LIGHT HAS NOW COME BACK ON AND I HAVE TO RETURN THE CAR YET AGAIN.

THE AUTO ENGINE IDLE STOP IS MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS. WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT THE IDLE STOP WILL COME ON AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN. NORMALLY RELEASING THE BRAKE WILL START THE ENGINE BACK UP. HOWEVER, ON SATURDAY EVENING THE CAR DIED AND TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES TO START BACK UP. I HAD THE BATTERY INSPECTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS NOT A BATTERY ISSUE AND THEY SAID THE BATTERY TESTED FINE AND WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SYSTEM. HONDA HAS INDICATED THIS A KNOWN PROBLEM THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR.

II STARTED HAVING A "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" ERROR SHOWING UP ON THE DASH. AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE WALK AWAY LOCK SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING AS WELL AS THE LOCKING BUTTON ON THE TAILGATE. THE ERROR MESSAGE WOULD COME AND GO BUT NOW IT IS ON CONSISTENTLY. I HAVE TO PUSH THE START BUTTON 3-4 TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO START AND NOW I AM HAVING TROUBLE TURNING THE CAR OFF. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR, BUT THE ERROR MESSAGE STAYS ON ALL THE TIME NOW. I AM WORRIED I AM GOING TO BE SOMEWHERE AND NOT BE ABLE TO START THE CAR OR TURN THE CAR OFF.

WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, MY AUTO IDLE SETTING KICKED ON AS USUAL. WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO RELEASE THE BREAK AND STEP ON THE GAS, MY CAR STALLED. I WAS UNABLE TO OR MY VEHICLE. I COULD NOT PUT CAR IN PARK, NEUTRAL, ETC. ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, AND I WAS INSTRUCTED TO STEP ON THE BREAK AND PLACE MY CAR IN PARK. I ATTEMPTED TO DO THIS BUT MY CAR REFUSED TO SHIFT. I ALSO ATTEMPTED TO PRESS THE IGNITION BUTTON TO CUT THE CAR ON AND IT DID NOT WORK. MY CAR REMAINED STALLED FOR APPROXIMATELY 60 SECONDS. I WAS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH AN AMBULANCE COMING TOWARDS ME AND I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE MY CAR. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. MY CAR IS FAIRLY NEW WITH ONLY 53K MILES. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP...

#1 KEYLESS REMOTE ENTRY HAS NOT WORKED FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $300. AUTOMATIC LOCK FEATURE IS NOT WORKING ANY MORE. BASED ON MY RESEARCH IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT HONDA KEEP GUESSING ON AND CHARGING FOR REPLACING, WITH NO REAL FIX. #2 WHEN DRIVING, ALL OF THE SUDDEN ALL ENGINE LIGHTS START COMING ON, BREAK, POWER STEERING, VEHICLE STABILITY...ALL OF THEM ONE BY ONE. AT THE TIME MY PILOT STARTED "PULLING", AND RPM GAGE WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN. A FEW DAYS LATER TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THIS TIME, IT ONLY HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT ON AND A CODE P0304 WAS DETECTED. CHANGED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND COILS, ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY FOR A WEEK. AGAIN, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ALL LIGHTS START COMING UP AGAIN AND THE SAME "PULLING" HAPPENS. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING ON. OTHER HONDA...

ERROR MESSAGE "KEYLESS REMOTE SYSTEM PROBLEM". THE AUTOMATIC LOCK FEATURE IS NO LONGER WORKING. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, DEALERSHIPS SERVICE TECHNICIANS ARE GUESSING HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM CHARGING AS THEY EXPERIMENT ON GUESSING THE FIX. ONE CUSTOMER WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP CONTACT HONDA, WHICH RESULTED ON A NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. THIS NEEDS TO BE ON A RECALL FOR 2016 HONDA PILOT.

VEHICLE SHUTDOWN AFTER START WHEN MOVING FROM PARK TO REVERSE. KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM APPEARED. EMISSIONS SYSTEM WARNING REAPPEARED AFTER HAVING IT CLEARED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP 2 DAYS EARLIER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A DUAL TWO LANE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH. AT A CROSS ROAD A TRAFFIC LIGHT WAS RED, AND I STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE AUTOMATIC IDLE STOP SHUT OFF THE ENGINE FOR 1/2 TO 1 MINUTE, BEFORE THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN. WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK, THE CAR SHOULD HAVE STARTED, BUT IT DIDN'T.. MANY OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE CARS AROUND ME MOVED FORWARD AND SEVERAL HONKED, BECAUSE I WASN'T MOVING. OTHER CARS WERE APPROACH ME FROM BEHIND AT SPEED. I TRIED TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTART IT. NOTHING HAPPENED BECAUSE THE SHIFT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I EXITED THE CAR AND PUSHED IT TO THE RIGHT TURN LANE JUST AHEAD AND PUSHED THE BRAKE TO STOP ONCE I WAS OUT OF THE DRIVING LANE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK WITH MY FOOT...

2016 HONDA PILOT RANDOMLY GET A KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR MESSAGE WHEN ABOUT TO START VEHICLE AND WHILE DRIVING. DEALER WANTS $110 JUST TO DO AN ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSIS. MANY COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. COULD LEAVE DRIVER STRANDED IF VEHICLE DOES NOT START OR SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. SOME STATE COULD RESULT IN DRIVER/OCCUPANT NOT BEING ABLE TO EXIT VEHICLE IF FAILURE OCCURS. VERY UNSAFE SITUATION! *TR

THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM! WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND THE AUTO ENGINE IDLE IS ON, WHEN I LIFT THE BRAKE TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR SHUTS OFF THE ENGINE COMPLETELY, PUTS ITSELF IN NEUTRAL OR PARK, AND REQUIRES ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART (PRESS BRAKE AND IGNITION BUTTON). SO WHEN I'M AT A RED LIGHT THAT TURNS GREEN, WHEN I ATTEMPT TO GO BY LIFTING THE BRAKE AND PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR MY ENGINE QUITS, JUST AS THE FOLKS BEHIND ME ARE READY TO MOVE FORWARD WHILE THE ENGINE OF MY CAR IS STILL OFF. *TR

I AM GETTING A KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR. I HAD A PROBLEM WHERE THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE ON THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL. *TR

AT STOP LIGHT, ENGINE DIES AND CANNOT RESTART. VERY DANGEROUS, THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY AND TODAY. THE CAR WAS SERVICED FOR SAME ISSUE ON JAN 4, 2020. WAS TOLD NEEDED SOFTWARE UPDATE. EVENTUALLY IT STARTS BUT I AM STUCK AT INTERSECTION FOR A FEW MINUTES UNTIL IT WILL RESTART. *TR

I AM GETTING A KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR. THIS COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO NOT START OR STOP. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING ON THESE YEAR/MAKE/MODEL AND THERE IS SOMETHING FAULTY IN THESE SWITCHES.
