Anti-theft Devices Problems of Honda Pilot

My 2019 Honda Pilot ex-l was stolen from our driveway in jersey city, NJ on or about July 16, 2026. The vehicle was locked. Both factory key fobs remained in my possession and were inside my residence at the time. No window was broken and no glass was found at the scene, indicating the vehicle was opened and started electronically rather than by forced entry or mechanical bypass. We have a video recording of the incident captured by our house security camera. The vehicle has not been recovered. A police report was filed with the jersey city police department [26-140624]. This vehicle is equipped with Honda Smart entry and push-button start. Security researchers have publicly documented a rolling-code vulnerability in Honda remote keyless entry systems (cve-2022-27254, known as "rolling-pwn") reported to affect Honda vehicles from model years 2012 through 2022, which includes this vehicle. Honda has publicly acknowledged that remote keyless commands can be mimicked, but has stated it has no plan to update older vehicles. No recall, software update, or owner remedy has been offered for this vehicle. Police departments in northern new jersey, including newark, have issued public warnings in 2026 that thieves are using electronic devices to capture or relay key fob signals to steal late-model Honda vehicles. The pattern described in those warnings matches the circumstances of this theft. I am reporting this as a potential safety and security defect in the vehicle's electronic immobilizer and keyless entry system. A vehicle that can be opened and driven away without the key present defeats the purpose of the anti-theft immobilizer and creates risk beyond property loss, including the operation of the vehicle by an unauthorized and unidentified driver on public roads. I request that NHTSA investigate whether a defect investigation is warranted for Honda keyless entry and immobilizer systems in these model years.

Electrical system makes a glitching noise as if it wants to start something. Lights go on, then about 5 minutes later the alarm goes off. My alarm has been going off now for the last 18 months and cant seem to find the issue. All over the Honda Pilot boards they say it is the "oem anti-theft locking Smart control module Honda Pilot 2016-18 / 38320-tg7-a420 part that needs replacing. It is a faulty part and costly and a know problem. Please look into this as it is expensive to replace.
