• No restart after auto start/stop engages investigation as of 20220603

  The office of defects investigation (odi) has received 221 complaints and several field reports alleging an issue with the auto start/stop feature on 2016-2019my honda pilot vehicles. The complaints allege that the engine fails to restart on its own from a complete stop at a traffic light or road intersection with the auto start/stop function engaged. Some of the complainants allege that a jump was required for the vehicle to restart. The subject vehicles are equipped with a 3.5l engine coupled with a 9-speed automatic transmission. To help improve fuel efficiency, the pilot touring and elite vehicles are equipped with auto start/stop capability. When the system is enabled by the driver and certain operating conditions are met, the auto start/stop system will automatically shut off the engine when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. The engine is automatically restarted when the driver releases the brake pedal after a stop.Odi met with honda on various occasions on this issue. Honda indicated that per the information provided from nhtsa complaints and tread (transportation recall enhancement, accountability and documentation) reports, they have found a correlation with customers allegations for the auto start/stop failure to restart the vehicle when the system is activated. Honda also indicated other honda models (honda odyssey, acura tlx & acura mdx) with the 3.5l engines equipped with the 9-speed automatic transmissions experience the same failure mode.Odi is opening this preliminary evaluation (pe) to determine the scope and severity of the potential problem as well as to fully assess the potential safety related issues.The odi reports cited above is available to review online at nhtsa.Gov under the identification numbers:11460988, 11460883, 11460447, 11459660, 11458735, 11458381, 11457155, 11456934, 11455403 11455401, 11453319, 11453093, 11452332, 11452321, 11451808, 11451347, 11450957, 11450663 11450345, 11449116, 11447644, 11447349, 11446934, 11445511, 11442641, 11442620, 11442535 11442468, 11441844, 11441660, 11441235, 11441204, 11440646, 11439912, 11439645, 11439407 11439010, 11438187, 11438135, 11438002, 11437665, 11437316, 11437030, 11437015, 11436370 11435590, 11435157, 11434390, 11433928, 11433791, 11433774, 11433769, 11432995, 11432947 11432684, 11431787, 11431074, 11430682, 11430372, 11429701, 11429333, 11429157, 11428453 11428450, 11428196, 11428155, 11427940, 11426998, 11426596, 11426261, 11426003, 11425989 11425707, 11425332, 11425299, 11424916, 11424849, 11424823, 11424701, 11424476, 11424313 11423874, 11423376, 11423296, 11423256, 11422948, 11422805, 11422582, 11422535, 11422238 11421517, 11420943, 11420818, 11420073, 11419761, 11418363, 11418287, 11418102, 11418046 11417954, 11417464, 11416669, 11416520, 11416230, 11415596, 11415538, 11415513, 11415511 11415486, 11415484, 11415459, 11415456, 11415177, 11415162, 11414749, 11414726, 11414599 11413697, 11413488, 11413337, 11408277, 11407868, 11407827, 11407811, 11407328, 11406685 11406052, 11406010, 11405300, 11404268, 11404093, 11402786, 11400245, 11399267, 11397177 11396367, 11394835, 11390028, 11389479, 11389300, 11388092, 11387715, 11387418, 11386763 11386291, 11383861, 11378435, 11374730, 11374396, 11373973, 11372622, 11366532, 11366226 11364808, 11364796, 11364625, 11363493, 11362991, 11362177, 11362102, 11362082, 11361413 11361248, 11360107, 11355417, 11355394, 11354935, 11354559, 11354433, 11354112, 11354000 11353603, 11350074, 11349675, 11348637, 11343095, 11342856, 11342592, 11342271, 11339759 11339748, 11339432, 11339322, 11337408, 11337102, 11331934, 11331621, 11329220, 11329145 11329058, 11327864, 11327319, 11326789, 11326397, 11326247, 11325536, 11324266, 11323258 11321898, 11320101, 11319867, 11317205, 11312211, 11311877, 11311010, 11310802, 11307006 11306743, 11299470, 11298616, 11298219, 11292495, 11280570, 11278720, 11278706, 11278088 11278004, 11277093, 11271668, 11271229, 11271053.

Occasionally, the engine does not automatically re-start after the idle engages. This has happened multiple times over the last couple of years. The result is a stalled vehicle, sometimes at busy intersections. This is confusing, annoying, and potentially dangerous --- thankfully so far the drivers behind me have reacted quickly to a stalled vehicle in front of them. The vehicle also seems to hesitate when attempting to start manually. The situation can become quite frantic. I changed the on-off push button which was having some other problems, but the problem with the engine not re-starting after idle persists. I have also changed the battery and regularly check my current battery, but it just happened again yesterday and i almost got hit! What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Engine automatic re-start after idle. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Stalled vehicle in traffic. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No.

Occasionally, when the vehicle is stopped at a stop sign, or stoplight, the idle stop will engage and shut off the engine. When releasing brake pedal, engine will not restart. Vehicle must be placed in park, brake pedal depressed very hard and then attempt to restart. Vehicle will restart after one or more tries. When the vehicle will not re-start, the symptoms are that or a dead battery. Warning lights, engine will not crank. But, then it restarts just fine. The issue does not happen if idle stop feature is disabled. Dealership has not been able to repeat problem, has tested primary electrical components and cannot fix it. Dealership has looked at the problem 3 times. This is becoming a safety issue, and it is easily found in online forums with other owners of the same years, make, model having the same issue. I believe this to be an issue with the control logic in the idle stop loop.

Issue: auto stop / start feature on 2016 honda pilot touring does not re-engage / start the car after being idle from a stop. This is a repeated issue that has been occurring intermittently since i bought the car brand new. I have taken it to the dealer multiple times and they state they can't replicate so can't fix. However, multiple forums have stated others are having similar issues. This originally was happening about once a month. Its now at least once per week. I have blocked traffic and almost been hit multiple times as my car won't start again at stop signs / lights. Usually after 30 seconds to 2 minutes, i can put it in park and wait a bit and it will eventually start. The last two times it would not restart until it was jumped after waiting for roadside service. I have taken it for battery and alternator evaluation and both are fine.

Keyless start system error in the 2016 causes a risk of being stranded without the ability to start vehicle. There is no option on the car to use a manual key for starting. You can get the door open with a manual key, but not operate the car engine. There is nothing wrong with the engine. It’s a safety issue.

O2 sensor in regards to fuel injector recall. Fuel injector failure with 55,000 miles on injectors. All injectors replaced by dealer under recall. Now with, 57,000 miles, so 2,000 additional miles since original recall, now the o2 sensor fails. Obviously, o2 sensor failed due to original fuel injector failure putting too much fuel into the emissions system, which caused the o2 sensor to fail. The o2 sensor not part of recall and not covered under any extended warranty. But the extended warranty added onto catalytic converter. Entire emissions system has extended warranty except o2 sensors. O2 sensors are just as much a part of the emissions system as fuel injectors and catalytic converters. O2 sensors should be covered under this entire recall.

Auto idle shut off stalls the car. Once the car is stopped...The engine will shut off. When i take my foot off the brake...The engine stalls, goes into park..Several lights come up on the dash. This is very concerning....Especially when it is difficult to start the car back up again.

While waiting for the green light and pressing the brake engine suddenly stopped. Thinking that engine stop and go mode kicking in but despite releasing the brake it won't restart. Tried to restart vehicle but only on the 3rd attemp that engine restarted. This is the second time it happened despite the repair last month at dealership which according to them they change the start switch botton that might caused the problem. I believe the stop and go feature of the car causing this problem. Releasing the brake from full stop should render the engine to restart but for any reason this is malfunctioning.

The auto idle engine malfunctioned and would not allow the car to start again at an intersection. Previously, it has been stalling out and turns the electrical of the car off (radio) when engaging but this time the car would not start at all. After approximately 90 seconds i was able to turn the car back on.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The auto engine idle fails to restart / shuts own the vehicle completely in busy intersections or stop and go traffic. A common symptom that is character i ed as the root cause is a weak battery, even when the battery is less than 2 years old. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Yes, vehicle has stalled several times on the busiest highway in hawaii during rush hour traffic. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The problem was recreated by me during a road east several times with the service manager from the local honda dealer in the vehicle. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? All lights come on instantaneously before the vehicle completely does. The vehicle must be placed in park and takes as long as 30 seconds to restart. Again, in the middle of the highway h1 on oahu.

Remote key start error

The vehicle is starting itself in accessory mode. It is completely off, no one around, no one touching the key fobs, and it will just try to start itself. Because no one is inside of the car pressing the brake, it just defaults to accessory mode. The vehicle is just turning itself on by itself. When the vehicle is locked, this triggers the alarm.

Got a “keyless start system problem” message on the display board. Changed the batteries in the key fobs and the message won’t clear.

At a stop light the vehicle will intermittently, during the idle stop sequence, not restart. I have had it to the dealer for this problem where the outcome was ntf. I had the battery replaced and the vehicle still does this on occasion. In order to restart it must be placed in park, powered down, powered back up and then you can restart. This process on average takes 15 to 20 seconds. In a busy intersection this is very stressful as cars behind you start to honk and yell as you try and keep your cool to go through the restart process.

The auto engine idle feature when enabled will not start back up properly and stall at times. I’ve taken this car to my honda dealer to repair and they do not see an issue.

Emission problem system keeps lighting up, going to service with honda 3x times but engine light keeps popping up, replaced knock sensor failure at first, then still pop up, they figured out now it’s 2 bank failure, need to replace engine harness and knock sensors sub harness, P0328, P0333. It will cause acceleration problem

When i was stopped at a stop light, the auto idle malfunctioned. The car totally shut off and i was unable to get it restarted despite the flashing lights telling me to put it in park and restart it. It wouldn't start. After sitting for awhile in traffic waiting for the tow truck. I opened the door and closed it and then it restarted. I moved it over to a parking lot where it happened once again for the tow truck driver.

The 2016 honda pilot elite has an auto idle stop (ais). Three times in the last six months my pilot has stalled when at a stop and not automatically restarted when the foot was taken off the brake. It then took 5-6 tries to have the car restart. Twice it happened at stop signs with traffic behind me and once in rush hour traffic in dallas when stopped for traffic backup. Mine does not seem to be an isolated problem since i have read numerous accounts of similar problems online. Dealer said did not have a fix for problem.

My vehicle shut down while driving with error messages on screen: emissions transmission, vehicle stability assist, hill start assist, trailer stability, assist, power steering, road departure,collision mitigation, blind spot, transmission, battery light, oil light. Coasted into safe place and had towed. Could not turn car back on other than seeing the above warnings.

Won't start after idle stop, and i have reported to honda dealer elcrrito service center they updated systems last three months back again its same issue and have now had this problem 4 times in the past 4-5 months while we stopped at a light, the idle stop will engage and shut off the engine, but then it won't start without completely turn off for a couple of minutes, this serious safety issue if this will happen the same issue at freeway then we don't know what to do.

"remote start system problem" is displayed and starting and shutoff of vehicle

The contact owns a 2016 honda pilot. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle loss motive power and would not restart. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed however, the mechanic stated that there was nothing that needed to be repaired or replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. A complaint was submitted with the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 46,100.

Auto restart has turned my vehicle off at a stoplight and then not restarted the engine and put the drivetrain into neutral. This has happened multiple times now. Also the car shifts into gears that either slow my car up when i’m trying to accelerate and speeding my vehicle up when braking.

Recurring problem with idle stop feature causing car engine to shut off completely (even when disabled), resulting in an error message and requiring the car to be turned off and on. This is a safety issue while driving, especially if in an intersection while turning. Https://www.Carproblemzoo.Com/honda/pilot/car-stall-problems.Php https://www.Piloteers.Org/threads/elite-shuts-off-at-stop-light.157005/page-13

The vehicle is equipped with an auto shut off and restart feature. There are many instances when the vehicle shuts off at a stoplight or in a parking lot and then does not restart automatically as it should. The vehicle must be powered off and on multiple times before the vehicle will restart. There seems to be a faulty sensor or some thing. The honda dealership has provided no explanation except it's a battery issue which it is not connected as we have replaced the battery. I am concerned that when i am in traffic at a stoplight if i have forgotten to press the button to disengage the auto restart then i'll be stranded while trying to restart the car. It has become more frequent the last 18 months.

The honda dealership has provided no explanation except it's a battery issue which it is not connected as we have replaced the battery. I am concerned that when i am in traffic at a stoplight if i have forgotten to press the button to disengage the auto restart then i'll be stranded while trying to restart the car. It has become more frequent the last 18 months.

Auto idle stop. Twice my car has shut of when auto idle was engaged. Traveling at speed have to stop to merge or at red light auto idle will engaged. Car shut off when the brake was released followed by a warning display in the speedometer screen to put car in park and and restart. Those are the facts now for the issue. I was traveling on i35 in texas merged onto 190. Had to momentarily stop to merge. I let off brake and the car died. Cars where coming up on me fast. I was able to engage hazard flashers and restart car. Second time i was at red light released brake and car died. Followed same procedure and got car restarted. This has happened twice in last two weeks my car is now in the shop . When researching on line this seems to be a common problem.

My car was "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. This is very inconvenient when you are at a stop light or getting ready to make a turn and the vehicle just "dies". Took it into the dealership and they said it was a software adjustment. The auto idle-stop worked for a couple of days, then started hesitating and now it intermittently stalls when the gas is pressed.

The "auto idle-stop" is automatically engaged on this vehicle. Whenever it is "on" the car will stall and shut down when stopping in traffic or at lights. Have brought to honda, they say it cannot be fixed and its very dangerous.

Got into a frontal collision and the airbags didn't deploy. Srs airbag system problem appeared on the dash.

Auto shut off when stopping at a red light will not restart engine. Had orange red light on dash saying you must put in park and press break to and press start again. Also radio went off for a few seconds also. It also has been hesitant to accelerate after auto shut off starts engine several times just in the last few weeks

I get a keyless start system error that hasn’t been fixed with changing out the battery on the remote. From reading about this, it is a major issue with the honda pilots

The engine auto/stop feature had failed 3 times in rush hour traffic. The feature turns off the engine when stopped in traffic and does not turn back on and disengages the car.

Car engine turned off in drive thru and took 1 minute to restart car. Kept pressing start button and car finally started. This is 2nd or 3rd time happening.

Vehicle does not re-start and appears to have an electrical outage (all lights come on and the radio shuts off) after "idle off" feature is activated (meaning my foot on the brake) at red light or stop sign. I have to put the vehicle in park and takes 2-3 tries to re-start by pushing the start button. So very dangerous when i'm at a busy intersection, and especially with kids in the car and i can not move. This issue happens almost all of the time. I had to turn off this feature for safety reasons or risk being in an accident. Two years ago i had a honda dealership look at it and they said they didn't find an issue. I chose the most recent date of occurrence (yesterday) for this form but it has been happening for 4 years. I currently have 45,000 miles on my vehicle.

2016 honda pilot alarm goes off randomly/sporadically while parked/locked.

Car would not start after going into auto idle stop.Car went into neutral by itself.Had to put in park and it took several attempts before car would start.

Check engine light came on while driving, quickly followed by a flashing oil light. Pull over and turn vehicle off. Check oil and there was plenty. At this point, the car will not turn over. Had it towed to the mechanic. They manually got the car to start but the engine is knocking and there is zero oil pressure. Engine is now needing to be replaced. Vehicle has 105k miles on it. Recently had the water pump and timing belt replaced at 103k miles. Regular oil changes and maintenance have been completed since it was purchased.

Keyless start system problem error message.

The contact owns a 2016 honda pilot. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 mph, the transmission failed to shift up to a higher gear. The contact mentioned that the rpms were shifting faster than the speed. The local dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

When i'm pushing the start button to turn the engine, an error occurred in the dashboard 'keyless start system problem' my mileage is 37991. The dealer didn't find any issue, they run vehicle diagnostic and i change my battery of my key. Is this a safety issue? Or a computer program that needs updating..Please help me. Thanks how to fix.

Keyless start system problem. This error appears on display panel multiple times. I did change new car battery and key fob batteries, but this error still on display. I finally brought it in dealership for repair. Warranty for this got extended for 9 years as per honda.

A notice has started popping up on my honda pilot saying keyless start system problem. But my car still starts. The error message went away for a few days then came back.

While changing lanes (car in motion 65 mph) in the city, warning lights in the instrument claster started to appear. Engine lost power ( could not accelerate) had to change lanes in traffic almost got hit by semi trucks. Managed to drift to side of the road, car went into neutral and could not get into park. Used parking break to keep car from rolling. The instrument cluster finally made up its mind and settled on emissions error. Before that in was showing all sorts of errors. Turned off the car waited a few minutes and was able to drive home. Very scary with kids in car.

Two main problems: 1) vehicle won't start and displays "keyless start system error". Honda issued a recall related to this issue and local dealership replaced engine start/stop switch assembly. Problem and error message returned again 3 days later. On return trip to the dealership, they tried to blame it on a weak (5 month old) battery. (i tested battery at 3 different auto parts stores after trip to dealership; battery tests as good as new). Countless complaints regarding this issue on internet message boards, owners' message boards and honda service bulletin (20-117) has been issued. Changing the start/stop switch doesn't appear to solve the problem in all vehicles. 2) problem with engine not auto re-starting after going into an auto idle stop. Has happened multiple times with my vehicle, including twice while attempting to navigate through an intersection during start and stop traffic. Highly unsafe situation. I'm not aware of any recalls on this issue, but numerous honda technical research & support group 'dealership only' messages have been issued regarding this problem. Testing at the local dealership couldn't locate any problems. I turn off the auto idle stop feature immediately when using the vehicle to keep from getting stuck in traffic again.

Twice in the last week my honda pilot has shut off when auto-idling at a stop light. The car should remain in drive but when i looked down it had shifted to neutral. The first message on the dash briefly flashed 'crash mitigation problem' and then instructed me to put the car in park and push the engine start button. After this incident, i turned off the crash mitigation system. A couple days later (today), the same thing happened. No crash mitigation system flash but instructions to put the car in park and press then engine start button. Both times the engine was on and in drive. Auto idling was enabled. I have only owned this car for two months.

Over the past few years, i have had issues with my car shutting off when at a stop after the auto off feature engages and does not turn back on. I have to put the car in park and manually restart the engine to continue. This was happening at least a couple times a month. I took it to the honda dealer and no problem was found according to the dealer. I began to get in the habit of disabling the auto off feature every time i started the car and this seemed to avoid this problem i was having. Two days ago, however, when i was driving, it began to shut off every time i was idling at a red light (8 times in one day) even with the auto-off disabled. And when i got on the freeway, driving at about 55mph, the engine shut off and i had to emergently coast over past the fast lane into a narrow inside shoulder. I had my young children and elderly parents in the car and it was a very scary and dangerous experience for us. We were thankful able to restart the car and get off the freeway with the car shutting off two more times in the middle of the street while driving at slow speeds (10-20 mph) before arriving at a gas station parking lot. The display cycled through many error messages ie emission systems problem, power steering system problem, transmission system problem, emissions system problem, hill start assist problem, etc. I am very concerned that we have got continued to have problems with this vehicle shutting off which is very dangerous.

When driving a warning came up that i have an emissions problem with the engine light on. Just had oil changed and just purchased this car 6 months ago.

The auto shut turns the car off at a stop light and then the car will not restart. It usually needs a jump. The problem has been happening for three years in the winter. The battery has been replaced four times. I have traced to the issue to an overload of the electrical system. The alternator is not capable of pouring all of the devices in the car and thus the battery drains. If i run the heated seats and steering wheel, the battery will discharge within 30 minutes even if the car is driven at highway speeds. I have been stalled in the middle of intersections several times. The autostart feature needs to have the option to stay dis-engaged when the car is shut off. It is unsafe to have the car fails to start at stoplights or when trying to pull into traffic. The electrical system is designed improperly. Do the math. The load from the electrical accessories, two heated front seats, two rear heated seats, heated steering wheel, heated mirrors, heated rear windshield will easily overload the power of a standard alternator. The vehicle needs a larger alternator and a larger battery (maybe dual) with isolation so it can start at stoplights.

Molding trim on roof of the vehicle is lifting and not secured. Molding trim around windshield is not secured and a plastic screw deteriorated and fell out. Trim won't stay in clips on the roof or on the windshield. I noticed the trim around the windshield was lifted while driving on a city street. I noticed the roof trim lifted when i arrived home and the screw on the windshield by the vent.

We have an ongoing issue with our auto-idle feature malfunctioning that began at about 20,000 miles. I have written a complaint here before, as have many other 2016 pilot owners, however nothing appears to have been done to date. This is a significant safety feature when the auto-idle is engaged, foot is taken off the brake and the car completely shuts off, often times not starting back up without a jump start. The car completely shuts off, warning lights flash all over the dash and no matter what you try the car will not start back up.This has happened to my wife with our 2 daughters numerous times. Fortunately, there hasn't been an accident, but my greatest fear is one time there will be. Naturally this always seems to happen at busy intersections. We have taken the vehicle into honda dealership where we purchased the vehicle too many times to count. They have replaced the battery, replaced the start/stop switch, cleaned out multiple error codes. Nothing has provided a permanent fix. We just had to have our transmission replaced at 70,000 miles! The problem reared it's head again today. This time my wife had to press the brake, the gas pedal (both with all her might) and press the start/stop button at the same time. Something isn't right. I'm convinced we have a lemon, however the dealer seems to think we don't have a case for that. Honda has to step in and take accountability. There are far too many 2016 pilot owners having this same issue for honda not to realize the valid safety concern we all have. Take a look at piloteers.Org and you will find a ridiculously long list of frustrated 2016 pilot owners all struggling with the same problem. I am urging you to take action to correct this problem. We purchased this vehicle for the safety features, however "safe" isn't something i feel knowing my wife and daughters are in this vehicle multiple times per day.

The paint near the moon roof is peeling and exposing the vehicle body to corrosion. Honda previously issued a service bulletin (19-057) that extends the warranty to 7 years from purchase date for 2013-2016 honda pilot wihth moonroof and painted white diamond pearl. I brought this to the dealership and they said this vehicle is not covered, even though it's clear there is a paint defect that is covered under the service bulletin, for the prescribed vehicle make, model, and year.

Speedometer flickers and is not working most of the time. And goes black most of the time in motion standing still everywhere

When i stop with the idle stop in on the honda pilot , when release the brakes the pilot discharge battery and never turn on. The battery was discharged when is inspected. Never wake up. I need to charge battery and then the battery is function with no problem with the idle stop disable. This past only with the idle stop is in on only. For five consecutive times pass me in traffic area and is a problem because not turn on brakes lights and signals lights. Is a very problem and attempt to security. Hopefully helps. Thanks always past when release the brakes pads after idle stop. Never turn on again.

The auto shut off feature turned the engine off at a red light - and would not turn the car back on once the brake was released. We needed to jump the pilot to get it to turn over again. As this happened at an intersection on a state highway, we were very lucky to not be rear-ended! Very unsafe and the mechanic said there is nothing wrong with battery!!

The push start button does not work, it is giving me an error 'keyless start system problem'. I changed the key fob's battery to a brand new battery and it is not the key fob with issues, it is the button itself. I have to keep pressing the break and the start button to get the car to start working. This has been happening for 3 months and it keeps getting worse, i have to press the start button like a toy.

Problem with the auto stop/start feature- the engine stops but doesn't always start . It tries to start but doesn't. Pressing the start button (ignition) doesn't always work right away. Seams you have to put the transmission in park, and press the start button (sometimes 4-5 times) before the engine starts. This is nerve racking and dangerous when you are in traffic- say at a light, or trying to cross over oncoming traffic. The time is takes sometimes to re-start the engine is about 10-15 seconds. This problem is intermittent. (doesn't always happen). It's not the battery. I had a new battery replacement. I also tried using a trickle charger to "top off" the battery incase it wasn't fully charged. No luck.

Keyless start system problem error. Intermittent for months. Not present when taken to dealership twice. Scheduled service again next week was told by dealership it would cost $134 per hour to diagnose issue. Walk away auto lock no longer functions trunk hatch intermittently does not power open or closed. I have read hundreds of similar complaints with this make and model so i am very disappointed in honda for not issuing a recall.

Honda 2016 touring shut off when stopping at traffic light or intersection, it does not auto restart from idling-stop mode. It took couple of tries to press the break and push the start button for the car to start. I also noticed the radio turned off and the car put itself to park. It started couple months back, and getting more frequent.

The automatic start system turns the car off and on when stopped at a red light or stop sign for example. The feature sometimes without any warning fails to restart the car automatically. The driver must put the car in park, push down on the brake, restart the car and then shift into park taking a considerable amount of time. This is dangerous for so many reasons and it must manually be turned off because it defaults to on. With no warning your car could be turned off and not automatically start when it's supposed to. This has happened to me multiple times stopped at red light, stop signs and in stop and go traffic. I would like to either have a warning in place or be able to permanently disable this dangerous feature.

The car stalls out at times when stopped. The gear switches to neutral. When i change it to park then i get a message that i need to start engine but the engine is running. I am not able to stop it either by pressing break and the stop/start button. I tried it multiple times and finally it stopped and then i was able to restart it and drive again. This happened to my daughter while she was on an on ramp to a highway so this behavior us not only inconvenient but very dangerous. We brought the car to the dealership but they said that since no error code shows up they cannot do anything. They changed the transmission fluids and the day after i picked up the car the same thing happened.

I was stopped at a red light and my engine turned off from the idle/stop feature. However, when i released the brakes this time, the car did not turn on as it normally does. Instead, the whole vehicle turned off and it took me several tries to turn the vehicle back on. This has happened to my wife on several occasions. I replaced the car battery and it happened again a month after. My pilot would not turn on again after releasing the brakes.

I have taken my 2016 honda pilot 3 times to the dealership and they cant figured out why the keyless start system problem light is coming on. They replaced the started and also the battery because something in the electrical is bad.

Keyless start system problem

Keyless start system problem

Check engine light on and when diagnosed by the repair shop the code P0456 which is very small evap leak. This should have been taken care of with the recall on this car. The repair shop printed all of the recalls and told me most likely it would need the fuel tank replaced which is cover under a recall. They told me to go to the dealership and see of the recall work has been completed. The dealership advised that the recall was done in the past.

Engine light displays and warning message reads keyless start system error. I've replaced the batteries on both key fobs and it did not resolve the issue. No other issues at this time. Warning lights has displayed for about the last 1,000 miles. The alert did disappear for about 50 miles and returned.

My 2016 honda pilot is giving me problems on filling up my gas tank. My car has 46000 mile and i don't think any parts are damaged cause it only 5 yes old. I tried looking for answers in the web but no one had a clue yet there was lots of people familiar with this problem. Is there anyway you guys can help me with this. It happens every time i try to fill my gas tank it stops filling as if it's full but it's not. It takes me a long time to fill it up.

Three times the car has stalled and shut down after stopping at a red light on a busy city street while the auto idle feature was on. When the light turns green and your foot comes off the brake the car shuts off and puts itself in park. The car will not start and each time we tried to start it all the different warning messages cycle through on the dash such as hill start assist, trailer stability assist, road departure mitigation etc. The first time the car finally started. The second time it would not start and a tow truck had to be called. Since the car would not go into neutral the car had to be dragged onto the flatbed tow truck. The third time the battery was jumped and the car finally started. The battery has been test each time and it is fine. This has caused a very dangerous situation for my family by being stuck in busy intersections. Our local honda dealer said they don't know why it is happening and will need to run tests. I have read hundreds of complaints online so i know it is a known issue. Honda need to recall and fix the problem.

When my car fuel went down to empty the light came on and i pulled over to get gas. When i pushed the automatic release button my fuel door would not open. I searched up possible causes and found a video of a man demonstrating where you can find a manual lever to pole to release the fuel door. I found the lever and pulled it at the door would not open. Thankfully i was not too far away from home and drove home on my empty tank. If i had been somewhere far away this could have been disastrous. I took it to the honda dealer who had to pull apart half of my car to get to the place to fix it. I had also read online that this has happened to other honda pilot owners. It seems dangerous.

In december 8 2020 started alarm started going off randomly took it in to rusty wallace honda dallas tx ,they kept 3 days said couldn't find cause but it did go off 2 times. They said did reset and sent it home.On march24 this year got error for keyless entry ,honda said on recall changed start button,on marci 29 car alarm started going off again ,so brought it back to honda now they say it's keyless access/tim's control unit and program unit and keys & memorize tim's sensors 832.Dollars.Need to mention car only has 45k.The vehicle was parked each time

When the car is started, dashboard displays message "keyless start system problem." this is being reported frequently on the internet and appears to be a common problem for this vehicle. When it occurs, the automatic walk away door lock feature also quits working. Supposed fix is to replace the start/stop switch which i did. This resolved the dashboard error message but not the automatic lock issue. This same result is being reported frequently on the internet and the problem is being reported for honda pilots beginning with the 2016 model and continuing up to the 2021 model.

When i try to start the vehicle by pressing the start/stop button while sitting in the vehicle with my foot on the brake, the key fob in my hand, and the vehicle in park, the vehicle will not start. Also, after several attempts, if the vehicle does start, i get a message 'keyless start system problem' and it often times takes several attempts to turn the vehicle off.

All of my warning lights turned on back in oct 2020.. We did some driving the day before,. But nothing crazy... Every light went off .. So took it to dealership and they said it was fuel injectors.. So they replaced it all .. And said it should fix the problem... Then i drove it to southern ca during thanksgiving and then all of sudden coming down from (grapevine) the car stalled, i press the gas and nothing .. I was able to coast it to side of the road..Attached is a pic of what was coming up.. Then i put car in park and and the rpm started to go up 4-5 rpm without me pressing gas, so i would turn off car.. 10 min later i started the car and was able to drive it off the freeway.. But couldnt drive more than 50 mph.. So the transmission would change.. So after getting towed and took few days.. Took to honda dealership in ventura ca.. Worst service ever.. Pretty much didnt want to look at vehichle.. So then took to another dealership more helpful.. All the error light was gone.. They told me only error was some oil pressure down.. And suggested that oil filter wasnt n authentic oil filter and thats what could have caused problem.. Yes idont typically send to dealership but i do go to a authentic oil change company... So pretty much this error has caused twice in 3 months.. Vehicle only at 61k when the 2nd one happen.. And not real solution.. I had my 2 kids and my wife when this all happen.. Not safe at all.. Please find a solution.. My local dealership offered to take my vehcile and drive it home with a technician to see if anything come up.. But now im seeing a lot of people having the same problem.. Either transmission.. Oil change.. Reason i took honda is due to the safety and relaiability.. But now im havign doubts.. Please help!!.. Luckily all under extended warrenty.. But for how long?

Keyless start system problem error. The start button is flawed.

Keyless start system problem error. The start button is flawed.

Total transmission failure. Stationary until towed to the nearest dealer.

When turned off, car makes clicking noises while dash indicator lights and cabin lights flicker intermittently. Often i get a keyless start system problem error message. Other times just lights and clicking noises. Also, horn sounds intermittently throughout the day while car is locked and fob is untouched. Horn begins and stops randomly. This occurs when vehicle is turned off, in both parking lots and garage. Took to dealership. They did not know what it was. It has continued for several months.

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"

Error message 'keyless start system problem' keeps appearing after no change in driving, weather, or other factors. It comes on at start up or when parked. Multiple times. After holding the brake down for about a minute the message disappears but has since reappeared four times in the last month since first occurred. After researching on the internet it seems that there are hundreds of pilots with the same issue.

We have a 2016 honda pilot touring. Since early 2018 we have been having issues with the idle stop system. The problem is when we are driving and we come to stop in traffic at a light, the idle stop system engages and shuts the engine down, like it is suppose to do. Once the light turns green for traffic to move, i release the brake and the idle stop system tries to engage and turn the engine on again, but fails and shuts the whole vehicle down, inoperable. The lights flash and i cannot turn the car on again for at least 1 to 2 minutes. Vehicles are honking and traffic is blaring across us, but i cannot turn the vehicle back on. After 2 minutes, i can restart the vehicle by pushing the button and brake and then the vehicle moves. This is a safety issue, since you never know when it wil lol happen, but it has always happened while in heavy trafffic or a busy intersection. In 2019, i took vehicle in for service, they said it was a bad battery. I replaced the battery in march 2019. The same identical problem still continued to occur multiple times. November 10 took the same dealer, howdy honda, austin,tx. They again told me the battery was reading bad, but i had the battery tested at another shop and at the place of purchase, and the battery was more then fine and tested great in and out of the vehicle. The dealer of course said they could not recreate the issue and did not see anything when they tested the system. They just pawned it off on the battery, even though the battery is less than 2 years old and testing just fine. There is no way to permanently disable the system and if i forget to push the idle stop disengage button every time i start the vehicle, i could end up on the road in the middle of traffic and some driver decides not to pay attention and run into me and my disabled vehicle. This is unacceptable and such a hazard and honda does not seem to care.

While driving along the highway, sunroof exploded. Small pieces of glass pieces went flying everywhere.

A known tsb# 18-025 (fuel injector problem) was outside our warranty and honda would not replace it. Due to the fuel injector issue the vehicle burns excessive amounts of gasoline per tank. I have recorded approximately 160 miles per tank of fuel. In addition to throwing emissions related check engine codes.

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 was just a software update for the idle start/stop. They said it's a known issue & there is no recall & they are fixing them only as the issue presents itself. Forward to 2/21/2020. 'emissions system problem' pops up again. I drop my pilot off at the dealership again on 2/24/2020. This time they say all my fuel injectors need to be replaced. The next day they call me again to say when they got in there, my seals were bad & they needed to replace those too. After 3 days, i got my pilot back. Ever since i have had it back, my idle start/stop has acted like it wasn't going to come back on every time i drive it & i try to remember to turn it off when i get in my car. I go from the brake to the gas & it dings & then 'collision mitigation system problem' pops up & then goes away. 10/31/2020 died on me stopped at a red light again with the idle start/stop feature on. I had to call 911 & have it towed to the dealership again.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda pilot. The contact stated that on several occasions while at an intersection or stopped, the vehicle failed to switch to auto-start mode and the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated to accelerate for several seconds. While the vehicle was in reverse, the taillights failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to honda of downtown los angeles (780 w martin luther king jr blvd, los angeles, ca 90037, (213) 266-7366) where it was diagnosed that the pcm needed to be reprogrammed and the battery was draining power. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The contact mentioned nhtsa campaign number: 15v668000 (electrical system) as a possible solution to the failure however, the vin was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 35,383.

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.

When pressing the gas pedal, the vehicle has a hesitationin to it. My foot remains on the gas pedal and still has the hesitation or jerking motion, which can be felt in the front passenger seat. We had the oil changed the week before we left to go out of state. It has continued on since then.

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.

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.

I am the second owner of this vehicle. I purchased it certified used from goudy honda 626.576.1114 on 11/13/2019. The battery was replaced at time of vehicle's purchase. I have driven the car less than 2000 miles since i purchased it. I have experienced the stalling issue multiple times each being progressively more acute than the previous. I first reported this to long beach honda at my service apt on 10/15/2020. At that time the issue was a hesitation when the auto idle would engage at a red light, it would start after a second or two of delay. To cope, we have gotten into the habit of using the auto-off button below the gear selector. However, the last two time i have filled up fuel and got in to drive off i have forgotten to 'push the button.' today i forgot to push the button and almost got hit by another car, when my car stalled and refused to start back up. I noticed in the emergency flashers were activated and the car gear selector went to neutral. The danger was i was on a down hill slop and rolled into traffic as i missed my window to pull out had my car started up properly. The dash displayed the push brake and push start message. That did nothing. I had to put the car in park using the park button and then open my drivers side door. After i closed the door the car behaved normal and started without issue. I consider myself lucky, that the driver heading at my door was aware enough to mitigate a much worse turn of events. I will again report this to long beach honda when they open on monday. Searching the web i found a number of other model owners have experienced similar. I would like to see a resolution provided by the manufacture of this vehicle. I will be installing a dash cam to try and capture this when it happens again. Once that is complete, i will have a complete documentation of the case to forward to counsel. Lemon law.

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.

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.

I am the second owner of this vehicle. I purchased it certified used from goudy honda 626.576.1114 on 11/13/2019. The battery was replaced at time of vehicle's purchase. I have driven the car less than 2000 miles since i purchased it. I have experienced the stalling issue multiple times each being progressively more acute than the previous. I first reported this to long beach honda at my service apt on 10/15/2020. At that time the issue was a hesitation when the auto idle would engage at a red light, it would start after a second or two of delay. To cope, we have gotten into the habit of using the auto-off button below the gear selector. However, the last two time i have filled up fuel and got in to drive off i have forgotten to 'push the button.' today i forgot to push the button and almost got hit by another car, when my car stalled and refused to start back up. I noticed in the emergency flashers were activated and the car gear selector went to neutral. The danger was i was on a down hill slop and rolled into traffic as i missed my window to pull out had my car started up properly. The dash displayed the push brake and push start message. That did nothing. I had to put the car in park using the park button and then open my drivers side door. After i closed the door the car behaved normal and started without issue. I consider myself lucky, that the driver heading at my door was aware enough to mitigate a much worse turn of events. I will again report this to long beach honda when they open on monday. Searching the web i found a number of other model owners have experienced similar. I would like to see a resolution provided by the manufacture of this vehicle. I will be installing a dash cam to try and capture this when it happens again. Once that is complete, i will have a complete documentation of the case to forward to counsel. Lemon law.

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.

I've had several issues with my 2016 honda pilot in the past few months. I currently have 110k miles on my vehicle but my problems began at around 80k. My check engine light and several other lights illuminate constantly. At first they would light up and go away. Brought it to service. They said there were no recalls and they change my spark plugs and told me to drive my car on at least a half tank of gas. Problem continued and then my car started running rough and idling rougher. I brought it in again and was told i needed to replace my fuel injectors. That was taken care and i still have a check engine light illuminates along with emissions system problem warming and my car still runs rough and has trouble accelerating. Song with all of these issues i've also had to replace my ignition and key fob and my auto start is not working. I have over a100k on the car which i understand can cause wear and tear but all of these problems far exceed the definition of normal wear and tear. I'd like to know if there is a recall on anything and what can be done to remedy these situations. My car is at service yet again trying to find out what is causing it to run so rough. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Keyless start system problem message comes on as soon as i start the car

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.

At a stop light my auto idle-off is engaged (engine goes off), but when trying to accelerate, the engine does not restart and engine goes into neutral. I needed to turn the car completely off and then restart the car. This is extremely dangerous, as cars are expecting me to move. I almost got rear ended!

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.

Keyless start system error. Car have been showing this error intermittently. Replaced batteries and still shows error. When i pressed the button to start or turn off my car, it doesn't recognize it and it takes a few presses before it'll start/turn off my car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda pilot. The contact stated while driving 10 mph, the vehicle started to jerk forward. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated he continued to drive to his destination. The contact called local dealer norm reeves honda superstore cerritos located at 18500 studebaker rd, cerritos, ca 90703, (562) 345-9100 and made the dealer aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of failure. The failure mileage was approximately 73,000.

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.

While driving on the highway, in strong winds, or passing larger vehicles or semis, the hood flexes as if it is going to unlatch and fly off the car. This is not a minor flex, the hood can bounce 2-3 inches. It is extremely unnerving and after time, the latch on the hood will fatigue and eventually break. It is becoming loose. There are currently no recalls by honda. This is a serious oversight. The dealerships have tried to fix it, but never with success. Please look into this. Thank you.

Error ' keyless start system problem'. It has 57k miles.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

During driving the vehicle, emissions system failure warning came on the display on sept 1. Vehicle was driving ok, called dealer could get appointment for 9/11/2020. During driving my kid to practice, the sign came on again, and the vehicle started to sputter violently. Was forced to pull over in the middle of an active traffic and had the car towed to dealer for diagnostic.

My car will die after being stopped (ex. At a red light, stop sign) and will not restart right away. Sometimes it doesn't die completely. When it does you are unable to put the car into park or engage the emergency lights. This has happened where we were stopped at a red-light and the car died and would not restart. A car behind us was approaching the light and saw that it was green, quickly came up behind us honking their horn and lucky was able to move to the other lane to avoid hitting us. This seams to happen when we forget to turn off the auto idle stop. This is something you have to push everyone you start the car. I took the car to the dealer they put in a new transmission and changed the timing belt. Previously i had the cars fuel injectors replaced. After all this work the car is still dying and it is happening more frequently. The dealership says they have heard of this problem but don't know of a fix yet.

The car is only a few years old and the ac stopped working went to the dealership to get it fixed they said the warranty doesn't cover it so i went to a mechanic to get it fixed he said he's gotten multiple civics and pilots 2016 and newer with the same problem faulty ac system

Emission system problem light came on at 36,942 miles. I am being told that the fuel injectors will need to be replaced at a cost of $1,500. This problem has occurred at 942 miles out of warranty. Emission system problem light came on while driving at highway speed.

The fuel injectors failed just before 70,000 miles on my 2016 pilot and had to be replaced at a cost of $1000. After some research, i have discovered this is a ridiculously common occurrence on the 2016 pilot; so common that i cannot believe honda hasn't done anything about it. The fuel injectors should not be failing...Period. I'm disappointed with honda and done with honda after this car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda pilot. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, the emission system warning light was illuminated. The contact drove to his destination. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was informed that the oxygen sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to an independent mechanic and was informed the fuel injector and catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to autosport honda (1201 us-22, bridgewater township, nj 08807; (908) 722-5566) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the fuel injectors needed to be replaced. The contact also stated the abs sensor, 4 wheel drive, trailer stabilizer warning light were illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.

When stopped at a busy intersection on a city street, the automatic stop-idle function did not restart and my car stalled when the light turned green. Multiple warning lights flashed at attempts to restart vehicle. I was unable to restart the car for approximately 10 minutes, causing a significant safety issue, as i had 3 children in the car on the way to school. We could have easily been rear ended as we were blocking traffic. The car was towed to a dealer for a repair. At this point, i question the repair, as my car has come close to stalling again 3 times since this occurrence.

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.

My timing belt failed at under 80k mile and at less than 4 years old. I was driving and could have been seriously injured as my car died in the middle of the road. The belt then destroyed my entire engine.

I was driving the car and suddenly ever single warning light went on, i heard a loud noise and the vehicle stopped running and would not start back up. I was told i had a timing belt failure and that my engine threw pistons and was destroyed. This vehicle had 78k and had every oil change required.

The transmission has subtle but concerning jerking between 10-30mph, especially while accelerating. This can be getting on the freeway, driving straight down the street or going up hills. I noticed it is worse when going up a sloped surface. Upon having a transmission specialist dismantle and analyze, i was informed the torque converter and other elements of the trans were failing and falling apart. At unusually low mileage, the transmission was heating up very high because of the issue, darkening the fluid and carrying elements of the failing converter etc into other parts of the transmission. This requires a full trans rebuild which costs range from 4-7k depending on where you take it. This is an issue that a basic mechanic may miss, but owners will notice for this year/model over the long term. Potential dangers reported are very concerning, so we chose to have the trans fully rebuilt for the safety of our family. Based off my research, hundreds of other complaints exist online for this year/model describing the same exact experience. Honda should be recalling their transmission for the 2016 honda pilot.

Check engine light (cel) appears, randomly when parked or in motion, indicating a problem with emissions system. Cel began to appear at approximately 77,000 miles. Car now has over 85,000 miles. I purchased the vehicle used, when it had 68,000 miles. I have never driven outside of the u.S.. Cel appears at various speeds between 0 and 60 mph. When in motion and cel is displayed, engine hesitation occurs causing me to increase vehicle speed and engine rpm to ensure i have sufficient power to: complete a turn, pass another vehicle, or make it up a hill. I am never sure i will have enough power. Additionally, the mileage economy display changes from shades of green to solid white. Cel remains visible on dashboard until it randomly disappears. Cel will remain lit ranging from 30 minutes to several days and disappear at various speeds. When it disappears, engine hesitation stops and economy display returns to shades of green depending on whether accelerating or decelerating. I first believed it to be a problem with the fuel tank cap. However, the cap is a hinged flap that returns to the closed position after i have finished refueling. I predominantly use e87 octane with ethanol. But e89 fuel makes no difference because the cel and hesitation randomly still occur. I have not taken to a repair shop because i have not had the opportunity to when the cel is displayed. The repair shop stated they can only diagnose when the cel is displayed.

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.

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.

The car stall didn't start after the idle start and now i have keyless start system problem

Vehicle start after several attempts of pausing the start stop button. After starting vehicle displays 'keyless start system problem'. Discussed with several other 2016 honda pilot owners who shared same issues. This owner believes this is a major electrical issue which should be solved by a recall.

On august 9, 2020, i was driving, at 75, with the cruise control on, i needed extra speed to pass a vehicle on the right side, i pressed the gas pedal with the cruise control still engaged and the vehicle went into a power down mode with the dashboard flashing codes and then went blank. The engine downshifted and the engine speed increased to 7,000 rpm. The car completely shut down, at 75 mph, and restarted with the dashboard lighting up again. After panicking, tried to give the car gas and it would not go. Now at 65 mph, i pulled over to the right lane and coasted down to 40 mph and the car started having power again. We pulled over and shut off the car. I restarted the car and an "emissions system problem" was displayed on the dashboard. The car has 56,217 miles on it. I have a video of this problem. The dashboard warning system displayed the following codes, "emissions system problem"; "all wheel drive system problem"; "transmission system problem" and the "d" drive symbol was flashing on & off. An earlier incident, may 6, 2020, happened to my wife while driving the car in local traffic. Driving at 50 mph, the engine speed increased and the car would not move forward. She also tried to give more gas and the car would not move. She stopped on the side of the highway and shut off the car. She restarted the car and pulled off the highway. She called the honda dealership and immediately took the car into the service center. They took the car and drove it around the building and said they checked the computer for codes, but none where present. At this time the car only had 55,000 to 56,000 miles. They told her next time this happens to take a video so they can see what happens to the car. Take a video while driving a car that is shutting down is their suggestion....

Suddenly started displaying keyless start system problem. Used spare key and stopes doing it for a day and then started doing it too.

Intermittently receive dash error code "'keyless start system problem ' " it comes and goes. Also vehicle struggles to restart when the a engine idle engages at a stop light. This has created safety issues in the winter when i can't go at a green light or others aren't paying attention and my vehicle won't start. There is no way to fully deactivate this feature except to shut it off after turning in car every time. This is a safety issue that seriously need to be addressed.

Engine auto idle feature has repeatedly malfunctioned. Vehicle will sometimes not restart from the idle position. We have repeatedly taken it back to the dealership and they are unable to diagnose or fix the issue since it occurs intermittently. These types of issues are well documented on the piloteers web forum.

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.

When stopped at a stop light or stop sign the transmission changes from drive to neutral to park and sometimes dies. Car won't restart when following directions on display screen or any other way except sitting and trying to start it over and over after turning on flashers and waving traffic around us.

Multiple warning lights on dash when car was turned on. Engine is running rough and occasional misfiring, especially around 30-40 mph. Mechanic tells me fuel injectors are clogged, and possible damage to catalytic converter. 72k miles on car so past it's warranty. Service bulletin 18-025 issued but i do not believe it should be owner's responsibility to pay for the damage being caused by faulty fuel injectors with intense psi which is causing metal particles to contaminate fuel. This should warrant a recall as it is a safety issue if not repaired and honda should have the burden of paying, not the consumer.

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.
