2016 HONDA PILOT Electrical System Problems

REMOTE SYSTEM START ERROR MESSAGE RECEIVED AND THEN THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. I WAS STRANDED AT A GAS STATION AND HAD TO BE TOWED. ORIGINALLY DIAGNOSED AS BATTERY AFTER I RECEIVED A JUMP. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND HAD NO ISSUES FOR ABOUT 4 WEEKS. NOW THE ERROR IS BACK. SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR 2016 PILOTS BASED ON MY RESEARCH. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUE FOR HONDA TO FIX!

THE FOLLOWING ERROR CODE APPEARED SEVERAL DAYS AGO; KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. HONDA INFORMED ME THAT THE PUSH BUTTON STARTER REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. I INSTALLED THE NEW UNIT AS INSTRUCTED, AND THE ERROR MESSAGE WENT AWAY. TODAY (TWO DAYS LATER) THE ERROR MESSAGE RE-APPEARED. I HAVE SINCE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS REPORTED ONLINE BY HONDA VEHICLE OWNERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE CAR DISPLAYS KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM STARTED OVER A YEAR AGO AND I WAS CHARGED $140 TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS BUT NOTHING CAME BACK AS AN ANSWER. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS! I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE OF IT'S SAFETY FEATURES, AND NOW I DO NOT FEEL SAFE EVERY DAY BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS WONDERING IF THE CAR WILL START. I HAVE THREE KIDS AND MANY RESPONSIBILITIES. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BOUGHT A HONDA CIVIC, HONDA CR-V, HONDA ELEMENT AND A 2007 HONDA PILOT BUT HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A NAGGING PROBLEM LIKE THIS ONE BEFORE. PLEASE ADVISE! *TR

VEHICLE DISPLAYS KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR. *TR

WHEN THE ENGINE IDLE STOP IS ENGAGED THE CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY NOT RESTART. IT TAKES MULTIPLE TRIES TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. MOST OF THE TIME IT HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC WHICH IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

ISSUE: CAR IS UNABLE TO START WHEN ON A CITY STREET AND AUTO-START IS ENABLED (STALLING). THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER SHE OFTEN HAS THE KIDS IN THE CAR WHICH CREATES A LARGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST PRESENTED ITSELF, THERE WAS ONE TIME WHERE THE CAR UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. UNFORTUNATELY THAT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE REPLICATED AS WELL NOR HAVE WE EXPERIENCED IT AGAIN. POTENTIAL SOLUTION 1: BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED WHICH TEMPORARILY STOPPED THE ISSUE, HOWEVER WITHIN MONTHS THE ISSUE IS BACK. POTENTIAL SOLUTION 2: IT'S WORTH NOTING THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED RECENTLY, HOWEVER IT WAS NOT DUE TO THIS THE STALLING ISSUE, THERE WAS AN ACTUAL ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE STALLING STOPPED FOR A WHILE AS WELL, THEN CAME BACK...

THE CAR THREW MULTIPLE ERRORS INCLUDING EMISSION SYSTEM, POWER STEERING, VEHICLE STABILITY, TRAILER STABILITY, HILL ASSIST, AND ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION. RESULT WAS KEY SAFETY FEATURES, INCLUDING AUTONOMOUS BRAKING, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION, POWER STEERING, AND LANE KEEPING WERE RENDERED INOPERABLE. THE ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED WHILE IN MOTION AT 50 MPH. THE ERRORS CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER IGNITION WAS ENGAGED. *TR

PUSH TO START BUTTON KEEPS FAILING. AUTOMATIC LOCK DOES NOT ENGAGE. WHEN PUSH TO START FAILS, STABILITY CONTROL FAILS WITH IT. VEHICLE MENTIONS NO STABILITY CONTROL. *TR

THE IDLE START/STOP FEATURE CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL WHEN STOPPED. WHEN THE AT A FULL STOP AND THE IDLE/STOP KICKS IN THE CAR DOES NOT COME BACK ON AND SHUTS OFF WITH ALL OF THE LIGHTS IN THE CONSOLE LIGHTING UP AND MUST BE COMPLETELY SHUT-OFF AND RESTARTED, "STALL OUT" AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN WHEN I WAS IN "AUTO IDLE-STOP" AND PRESSED ON THE GAS. I FIRST NOTICED THAT THE AUTO IDLE-STOP WAS HESITATING WHEN IT WOULD START UP. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE RADIO WOULD "CUT OUT". AFTER THAT, THE VEHICLE WOULD JUST STALL OUT AND I WOULD HAVE TO PUSH PARK, PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THEN PUSH START. TOOK TO THE DEALER DURING MY LAST SERVICE ON JANUARY 20, 2020 AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE. THE ISSUE HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AND IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. THE CAR HAS STALLED AT...

WE OWN A 2016 HONDA PILOT ELITE WITH AUTO START/STOP FEATURE. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000 MILES AND BEGAN EXHIBITING ISSUES WITH THE AUTO START/STOP FEATURE. WHEN STOPPED AT ANY LOCATION, THE AUTO STOP ENGAGES AND TURNS OFF THE ENGINE AND SHOULD RESTART WHEN YOU LIFT YOUR FOOT OF THE BRAKE; BUT IT IS NOW TURNING ALL THE POWER TO THE VEHICLE OFF (RADIO OFF, A/C OFF, DASH LIGHTS OFF). IN SOME CASES THE DASH WILL FLICKER WITH AND DASH LIGHTS WILL ELIMINATE FOR A SECOND. AS A RESULT YOU CANNOT MOVE THE VEHICLE AND ARE STUCK IN A DANGEROUS PLACE (CAN'T PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, NO POWER). THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS; AT STOP LIGHTS WHERE CARS BEHIND YOU GET FRUSTRATED AND HONK THEIR HORNS (TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES TO START BACK UP IF YOU ARE LUCKY) AND MOST CONCERNING IS IF YOU ARE IN THE...

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR.

2016 PILOT ALONG WITH OTHER MAKES AND MODELS ARE SHOWING KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR BETWEEN 30,000 AND 65,000 MILES. VEHICLES HAVE TROUBLE STARTING IGNITION DUE TO FAULTY PUSH BUTTON IGNITION SWITCHES AND MODULES. THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE OCCUPANTS TO BE LOCKED IN THE VEHICLE AND POTENTIALLY UNABLE TO TURN VEHICLE OFF INSIDE COVERED GARAGES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR WHICH HONDA I HAS BEEN AWARE OF FOR SOME TIME. ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. THIS ISSUE HAS ALSO OCCURRED WHILE INSIDE MY HOME GARAGE.

I HAD TO PRESS MY START BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE VEHICLE TO START. THE VEHICLE WOULD DISPLAY A MESSAGE 'KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM'. UPON REPLACING THE START/STOP BUTTON, IT APPEARS TO HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE. I FOUND MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHERS ONLINE WITH THE 2016 PILOT.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM RANDOMLY SOMETIMES DOESN'T LOCK THE DOORS WITH THE REMOTE, OR WON'T HONK AND LIGHTS WON'T FLASHWHEN LOCKING THE DOORS.

CAR STALLS AND DOES NOT RESTART. CAR HAS AUTO IDLE STOP FEATURE. WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR COMPLETELY DIES AND CANNOT BE RESTARTED. NO EMERGENCY LIGHT, NO LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD, CANNOT LOCK CAR, CANNOT PUT INTO NEUTRAL, MUST BE TOWED. CAR FIRST STARTED STOPPING AT STOP LIGHTS IN CITY STREETS IN 2017. WOULD TAKE A FEW ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. BROUGHT TO DEALER TO STATE MY CONCERN THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN IN THE FREEWAY AND THEY CHECKED AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. ON 3/19/20, DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY, I HAD TO STOP FOR TRAFFIC. CAR DIED COMPLETELY. I COULDN'T EVEN TURN ON THE EMERGENCY LIGHT. I HAD TO OPEN MY DOOR A LITTLE BIT, STICK MY ARM OUT AND WAVE FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. SEMI TRUCKS WERE QUICKLY CHANGING LANES TO AVOID REAR-ENDING ME. IT WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING INCIDENT THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME....

VEHICLE GETS KEYLESS START IGNITION PROBLEM

OUR PILOT HAS A "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" WARNING LIGHT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE COST OF REPAIR IS APX 300.00. HONDA SHOULD HAVE A RECALL

KEYLESS START PROBLEM ERROR. FLASHING AND HAS PROBLEMS STARTING.

THE REMOTE START FEATURE DOES NOT WORK. LIGHTS DO NOT FLASH WHEN YOU LOCK THE VEHICLE NOR DOES THE HORN MAKE A NOISE WHEN YOU USE THE KEY FOB TO LOCK THE DOOR. HAVE TAKE. IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REPLACED A MODULE IN THE DOOR SAYING IT WAS NOT GETTING GOOD SIGNAL. THAT PART DID NOT WORK

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEYLESS KEY WHEN KEY IS DETECTED IN THE VEHICLE.

I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. THE IDLE START/STOP KICKED IN. WHEN I WENT TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE TO THE GAS TO GO ACROSS THE BUSY INTERSECTION, MY PILOT COMPLETELY DIED. THIS LEFT ME STRANDED AT A STOP SIGN AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION FOR OVER 2 HOURS WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS 'JUST A SOFTWARE UPDATE'. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THEY ARE ONLY FIXING IT WHEN IT AFFECTS A VEHICLE. NO RECALL??!!!! I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO UPLOAD MY VIDEO THAT I TOOK WHEN THIS ALL HAPPENED SO YOU COULD SEE WHAT MY DASH LOOKED LIKE WHEN I KEPT TRYING TO START MY CAR BACK UP. THE WEEK PRIOR TO THIS, THE PHOTO SHOWS WHAT NOTICE POPPED UP ON MY DASH.

KEYLESS START IDIOT LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON.

WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE AUTO START/STOP WILL FAIL RANDOMLY. THIS THEN LEAVES THE DRIVER STUCK FOR UP TO 1 MINUTE IN TRAFFIC WITH THE CAR UNRESPONSIVE TO THE START BUTTON. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO HONDA SERVICE STATIONS IN BOTH GEORGIA AND OHIO. AFTER REPLACEMENTS OF BATTERIES, AS PER HONDA RECOMMENDATIONS, THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM. A DRIVER COULD EASILY BE REAR-ENDED AND ULTIMATELY HARMED WHEN LEFT STRANDED ON A BUSY STREET WITH NO ABILITY TO START THE CAR BACK IN A TIMELY FASHION. WHEN PROGRESSING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR, THIS MODEL VIOLENTLY JERKS. THIS HAPPENS DESPITE TIMELY SERVICE EXCLUSIVELY ONE AT HONDA SERVICE STATIONS. EACH TIME IT IS REPORTED, MY WIFE IS TOLD THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE. ULTIMATELY IT APPEARS TO BE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE TO WHICH HONDA WILL NOT ADMIT FAULT.

2 WEEK AGO, I AM GETTING AN "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR" WHEN EVER I WANT TO START THE CAR. LATER ON THE MESSAGE HAS STOPPED BUT NOW THE CAR WONT LOCK UPON EXITING LIKE IS USED TO DO BEFORE THIS ERROR MESSAGE. I CHECKED THE CONFIGURATION SETTING AND AUTO LOCK UPON EXITING IS ENABLED.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM IS ON IN THE DASH WON'T START OR TURN OFF SOMETIMES

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM COMES ON WHEN STARTING THE CAR AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING. NO REASON FOR THE ERROR AND SEEMS TO BE A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM WITH HONDA PILOT OWNERS. NO CONSISTENCY TO THE MESSAGE AND WHEN IT COMES ON. FIRST TIME NOTICING ISSUE WAS IN AUGUST, THEN AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER, DECEMBER, JANUARY AND FEBRUARY. IT CAN HAPPEN 1 DAY AND NOT COME BACK ON TILL 3-4 DAYS LATER. SEEMS TO BE MORE FREQUENT WHEN THERE IS OUTSIDE PRECIPITATION SO MAYBE TRIPPING SOME SENSOR. NOT A BATTERY ISSUE AS NEW BATTERY HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN NOVEMBER AND STILL GETTING THE MESSAGE AND FOB BATTERIES HAVE ALSO BEEN REPLACED.

WHILE STOPPED AT A FREEWAY OFF RAMP. THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE PER THE START/STOP FEATURE. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR DID NOT RESTART AND INSTEAD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND PUT ITSELF INTO PARK. I HAD TROUBLE RESTARTING WHILE TRAFFIC BUILT UP BEHIND ME. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND DISCONCERTING PROBLEM.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR MESSAGE: HAVING TROUBLE STARTING AND TURNING OFF VEHICLE. HAVE TO PRESS START BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES OR HOLD LONGER. SOMETIMES, I HAVE TO DEPRESS BREAK AND THEN TRYING AGAIN...START BUTTON LIGHT IS NOT ALWAYS ON. IT'S TAKING LONGER AND LONGER TO START AND TURN OFF VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN GETTING THIS MESSAGE FOR ABOUT 7 MONTHS. I HAVE

WHEN GETTING INTO VEICLE WHILE IT IS STATIONARY TO BEGIN TRIP. KEEP GETTING A KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ERROR MESSAGE PERIODICALLY FOR THE PAST 7 MONTHS STARTING IN APPROX JUNE 2019. AT TIMES THE ENGINE WON'T START. AFTER PARKING OR LEAVING VEHICLE IN A STATIONARY POSITION. ALSO, THE WALK AWAY AUTO LOCK FEATURE HASN'T WORKED SINCE JULY 2019 (6 MONTHS). HAVE RESET SYSTEM SEVERAL TIMES BUT ISSUE STILL RETURNS AND THE WALK AWAY FEATURE HAS NEVER RESET OR WORKED AGAIN

THE CAR STARTED SHOWING "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND THE CAR IS NOW ONLY 10,800 MILES! IT TAKES LUCKS TO TURN ON THE CAR AND SOME MORE LUCKS TO TURN THE CAR'S ENGINE OFF. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A CAR AT THIS YOUNG MILAGE! WHEN DO A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH, THERE ARE PLENTIFUL OF SAME ISSUES POSTED ONLINE. WHEN IS HONDA GOING TO THE RESPONSIBLE TO RECALL THIS ISSUE?

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM BEING DISPLAYED. STILL ABLE TO START VEHICLE, UNKNOWN HOW MUCH LONGER OR WHAT IF ANY FEATURES CAN AND WILL BE DISABLED. SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO DEFECTIVE START/STOP SWITCH.

WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES BUT THE MOST PRESSING IS THAT THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY STOP RESPONDING UNDER ACCELERATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ONCE VERY NEARLY CAUSED A VERY BAD ACCIDENT WITH A BIG RIG WHILST WE WERE ENTERING A FREEWAY. THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY NOT RESPOND TO THROTTLE THE GAUGES SEEM TO RESET AND THEN THE CAR WILL GO. SIMILAR TO HOW THE AUTO STOP IDLE FUNCTION WORKS EXCEPT WE WERE NOT STOPPED WE WERE UNDER ACCELERATION. WE HAVE ALSO HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AFTER THE IDLE STOP HAS ACTIVATED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT FORCING US TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTART IT. WE HAVE TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE AND ASSURE US THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE... BEYOND THE PROBLEMS LISTED ABOVE THE CAR FREQUENTLY...

ON JANUARY 13TH, I LEFT MY HOME TO PICK UP MY SON, JULIAN, 3 YEARS OLD, AT PRESCHOOL. HIS PRESCHOOL IS APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES FROM OUR HOME. I PICKED HIM UP, AND DROVE THE SAME DISTANCE BACK TO OUR HOUSE, ARRIVING HOME AROUND 4:45PM. I HAD NO UNUSUAL WARNING NOTIFICATIONS OR ANY UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE DRIVING TO AND FROM THE PRESCHOOL. I PARKED THE CAR IN OUR DRIVEWAY. JULIAN AND I EXITED THE VEHICLE, AND WALKED TO OUR FRONT DOOR. AS WE APPROACHED THE FRONT DOOR I SMELLED SMOKE, AND LOOKED BACK AT THE CAR. I NOTICED A SMALL FLICKER IN THE PASSENGER SIDE LOWER HEADLIGHT. UPON CLOSER LOOK, I REALIZED THIS WAS IN FACT A FLAME. JULIAN AND I LEFT OUR BAGS ON THE PORCH, STEPPED OFF OF OUR FRONT PORCH, AND MOVED AWAY FROM THE HOUSE AND CAR, AND CALLED 911. AS WE WAITED FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, WE...

RECEIVED "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" ON THE DASH AT 61K MILES. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO RUN ALL KINDS OF DIAGNOSTICS TO LOCATE ISSUE. TECH SAID THAT THEY HAD TO KEEP CHECKING HARNESSES AND OTHER CONTROLS BECAUSE OF ORIGINAL CODE. IT SEEMS TO BE TIED BACK TO THE CONTROL SWITCH WHICH MANY OTHER PILOTS OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE HAD. TALKED TO HONDA SUPPORT AND WAS TOLD TO JUST FOLLOW DEALERSHIP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO REPAIR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THEME AND WHY HAS A RECALL NOT BEEN ISSUED?

I HAVE A 2016 HONDA PILOT TOURING. 6 MONTHS AGO, THE AUTO IDLE STOP FEATURE BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE CAR WILL NOT RESTART AFTER THE AUTO IDLE STOP ENGAGES. I HAVE TO QUICKLY FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN WHILE TRAFFIC IS DODGING ME ON THE FREEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN TIMES. THE ONLY REASON IT HAS NOT HAPPENED MORE IS BECAUSE I TURN THE 'FEATURE' OFF AS OFTEN AS I REMEMBER. I WOULD LIKE A RECALL TO PERMANENTLY DISABLE AUTO IDLE STOP. THE FEATURE IS DANGEROUS. WILL SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE HONDA AND THE NHTSA DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? THERE ARE MANY REPORTED CASES OF THIS HAPPENING AND HONDA IS UNABLE TO FIX IT. SEE THIS THREAD FOR MANY MORE CASES: HTTPS://WWW.PILOTEERS.ORG/THREADS/ELITE-SHUTS-OFF-AT-STOP-LIGHT.157005/ PLEASE FORCE HONDA TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT AUTO IDLE STOP!!!!

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM MESSAGE ON DASH. WASN'T ABLE TO START VEHICLE FOR 5 MINUTES. ONCE STARTED WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP ENGINE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH 2016 HONDA PILOT. THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS ISSUE UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE CAR WILL NOT START.

KEYLESS START ERROR MESSAGE PERSISTS UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE DESPITE KEYLESS REMOTE (FOR THE MOMENT) STILL WORKING. MESSAGE STAYS ON WHILE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. MULTIPLE DRIVERS OF SAME MODEL OF PILOT REPORT SAME PROBLEM STARTING BETWEEN 35-40K MILES.

THE CAR'S IDLE STOP IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE RADIO CONSISTENTLY DROPS OUT AND HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE TO START THE CAR AFTER IDLE STOP WAS ENGAGED. MULTIPLE TIMES THE CAR HAS NOW FAILED TO START AND APPEARS TO STALL OUT, AND MAKES ME SHUTOFF THE WHOLE CAR AND RESTART IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS SOME PEOPLE DO NOT REALIZE AND MIGHT REAR END ME. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER, BEEN TOLD THEY CANNOT REPLICATE IT INITIALLY, TO THEM VALIDATING THE ISSUE AND WANTING ME TO BRING IT BACK. I DON'T HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THEM FIXING THE ISSUE AT THIS POINT AS THEY DO NOT HAVE FAMILIARITY WITH IT, YET I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT ONLINE. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM IS MORE WIDESPREAD THAN HONDA IS COMMUNICATING AND THE CAR HAS A FAULT IN THE AUTO IDLE STOP DESIGN THAT THEY ARE...

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM COMES ON AND OFF THE DASH BOARD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED, STALLED, AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HONDA OF AVENTURA (2150 NE 163RD ST, NORTH MIAMI BEACH, FL 33162) NUMEROUS TIMES. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE FAILURES WERE NORMAL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HOLMAN HONDA (12 E SUNRISE BLVD, FORT LAUDERDALE, FL 33304) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT DIRECTLY NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE. EACH DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND REMAINED IN THE POSSESSION OF HONDA OF AVENTURA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHT IS ON.

"KEYLESS STARTER SYSTEM PROBLEM" LIGHT COMES AND GOES. MILEAGE 50K - HAVE CHANGED KEY FOB BATTERY, ISSUE STILL RANDOMLY DISPLAYS - SEEMS TO BE MORE OFTEN NOW. FIND THAT IF I TRY TO NOT RUSH THE TURN OFF PROCESS IT WILL SOMETIMES HELP - IE PUT CAR IN PARK - WAIT A FEW SECONDS, THEN SHUT OFF VEHICLE - DOESN'T ALWAYS PREVENT MESSAGE - QUITE UNNERVING WONDERING WHEN I WONT BE ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE - THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR LAST 10K MILES

FOR A COUPLE DAYS WHEN I WOULD WALK AWAY FROM THE CAR THE AUTO LOCK WASN'T WORKING. IT WOULD BEEP ONCE BUT WOULDN'T LOCK. NOW THE KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WHEN I START THE CAR. IT HAPPENS MOST OF THE TIME I DRIVE IT IN THE LAST FEW DAYS. THERE HAS BEEN ABOUT 3 TIMES IT DOESN'T COME ON. NOW THE AUTO DOOR LOCKS WORK SPORADICALLY WHEN WALKING AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY EACH TIME SINCE IT'S JUST BEING STARTED.

INTERMITTENT 'KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM'. IT'S VERY CONCERNING AND WHENEVER I BRING MY CAR TO THE SHOP THEY SEEM TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUES BEFORE. CAR WORKS, BUT IT IS SCARY TO WONDER IF MY CAR WILL SUDDENLY TURN OFF OR NOT TURN ON. PLEASE HAVE THIS INVESTIGATED.

THE KEYLESS START AND ENTRY LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF. ADDITIONALLY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT AND HONDA IGNORING THE PROBLEM. EVEN MORE SEVERE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO YOU. THIS WILL LEAD TO THE CAR JUST STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN. PLEASE HAVE HONDA ADDRESS THIS ASAP.

RIGHT BEFORE IT'S TURNED ON AND WHILE DRIVING. I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE SAYING "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM". THEN VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES NOT TURN ON RANDOMLY. HAVE NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR BECAUSE I DID MUCH RESEARCH AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THEIR 2016 PILOT TO THE DEALER AND AFTER SPENDING MONEY, THE DEALER COULD NOT FIX IT.

AT STARTUP, THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT INDICATING "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" APPEARED AND WAS ONLY REMOVED, PERHAPS TEMPORARILY BY FOLLOWING A ROUTINE SET FORTH AT A COMMUNITY WEBSITE. WAS INFORMED THAT A REPAIR AT THE DEALER WOULD COST $300+.

CAR BRAKES BY ITSELF, SHAKES THE STEERING WHEEL AND SHUTS OFF AND LOSES POWER RANGING IN SPEEDS FROM 20 -60MPH. ON DOUBLE LANE ROADS TO INTERSTATES IN THE RAIN AND SUNNY DRY DAYS.

MY HONDA PILOT WILL STALL OUT WHEN COMING OUT OF THE AUTO START/STOP FEATURE AT AN INTERSECTION. THIS PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING IN JULY 2019 AFTER HAVING THE TRANSMISSION DOUBLE REPLACED. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOW HAPPENED FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR MY WIFE AND KIDS WHO ARE LEFT STRANDED AT AN INTERSECTION. MY WIFE HAS TO ATTEMPT TO RECYCLE THE POWER TO THE PILOT BY HOLDING DOWN THE POWER BUTTON TO THE PILOT. MY WIFE HAS CAPTURED MULTIPLE VIDEOS OF THE DASH WITH ALL THE ERROR MESSAGES POPPING UP AFTER IT HAS DIED.

WILL NOT START USING THE KEYLESS FOB. ALL TROUBLE LIGHTS TURN ON WHEN TRYING TO START. FOOT ON BRAKE AS NEEDED TO START. STILL WON'T START. THE AUTO LOCK FEATURE WON'T WORK. NEW BATTERIES IN THE KEY FOB DON'T HELP. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WHEN IT WAS LOWERED FROM THE TOW TRUCK IT STARTED RIGHT UP.
