2019 Honda touring: driving down the highway the windshield would crackle ( electricity) then we started experiencing transmission delays in shifting and the transmission sounded rough and it was delayed. When the car was put in park the whole dashboard lit up with emissions system problem, stop driving when safe. Transmission problem, blind spot info system problem. After this showed up the car was not able to move at all. It would not move to gear. The problem was not reproduced at the Honda dealer. They recommend replacing the transmission. I had it towed to another shop where they tell me all codes that pertain this the initial issues stated and refer back to dealer to reset the tmc system failure and to reset the electrical system. Honda refuses to do work as they want to replace the entire transmission.

Transmission failure. Began with noticeable reduction in acceleration, then issues getting into reverse. Warning lights then went on - transmission system problem, blind spot info system problem, emission system problem. On 6/19/25 we had the fuel pump motor recall addressed. The transmission failure was on 7/18/25.

While driving got 3 messages. Transmission error, emission error and blind spot error and the vehicle would not go into drive mode. Looking at all the information online there is plenty of reports on issue with the transmission on the 2005-2019 Pilots 9 speed transmission including loss of power when driving which luckily did not happen to me. It is a safety concern that Honda needs to address.

On tues. Feb. 11, 2025, I was at a stop light when the car went into reverse on it's own. Then, when driving, the car went into neutral on it's own. Again, at a stop light, the car went into reverse. I had the car towed to dealership that day. I was sent a msg. That the shifter is defective and that a new one would be ordered. There were two msgs. On the dash when this issue occurred. One stated a transmission problem and the other was a blind spot problem. I am currently waiting for the service dept. To get back to me. I had my two young grandsons in the car with me as well as my husband. It was terrifying.

If there is rain, snow, fog, moisture or salt from the roads builds up or collects on the emblem of my Pilot, I get a warning saying something to the effect of “ some driver assist systems cannot operate clean area shown”. This is quite dangerous when you live in the midwest snowbelt. You can’t always pull over and clean it. The system will repeat the message even after acknowledging the issue, if it clears itself or improves, which is equally alarming.

The sensors stopped working when the infotainment screen went out. It goes out all the time. Honda knows of this issue but does nothing to repair.

Popping sounds through speakers and then infotainment screen goes black. No camera no sensors. Nothing.

The infotainment screen was black and not working at all so no back up camera. Also all the sensors warning you that you are getting to close to hitting something stopped working.

The Honda Pilot radio center includes the back-up camera and also apple-play used for navigation. This system was subject to a recall earlier when the radio would crackle and then the info center would lose power on an intermittent basis. A recall was performed, and a cable was replaced. That seems to have fixed the loud crackle issue, but I still have an intermittent problem with the info center losing power. The dealer told me to contact Honda. Honda told me it is a dealer decision to charge for troubleshooting and diagnostics. Meanwhile this is a safety issue especially when backing up and while driving because I lose my gps map. Honda has not fixed the earlier problem, and the dealer will not do anything without getting paid for their efforts (which seems reasonable).

My whole dashboard is lit up high beams lane keeping assistance break system go’s off , seatbelt warning, my high beams this puts my safety at risk as my passengers. I have had this diagnosed by my mechanic. It came up on the computer that it is the front camera that is making this all happen. I told the Honda dealership they say there’s no recall? they said I would have to get it diagnosed for $260. I’ve already had that done. At the time I took it in for a recall on the fuel pump modulator also the back up camera cables, which they fixed.

My car started stating that 6 systems were having problems. The adaptive cruise control system, automatic high beam system, blind spot information system, road departure mitigation system, collision mitigation system, and lane keep assist system. I took the car to the Honda dealer it was purchased from and was informed that the technician found that the multipurpose camera was not working and needed to be replaced. The component that failed is the multipurpose camera. My safety and the safety of others was put at risk because the following 6 safety systems stopped working. Adaptive cruise control system, automatic high beam system, blind spot information system, road departure mitigation system, collision mitigation system, and lane keep assist system. The problem has been diagnosed by the dealer. I don't know if this component has been inspected. There were no warning lights, messages, or symptoms prior to the failure. The car was just at the dealership the previous month for the annual state inspection and nothing was noted by the dealership. I was driving when suddenly the component failed and I was notified that the 6 safety systems were no longer working.

About a month ago my car started acting like it didn't want to restart at traffic lights when the auto idle kicked in. One time to completely did not restart on a major highway and I had to completely turn the car off then back on again. Then last week I tried to get into my car and multiple components had stopped working: my keyless entry, blind spot sensor, parking sensor, entertainment system, back up camera, lane keeping assist, etc. I tried taking it to a mechanic and they could not figure out what the problem was. I tried replacing the battery and the car is still stuck in this mode. I have it at a dealership now and they are trying to determine what the problem is.

For the third time in less than 4 months, I have taken my car to the dealer because all of the warnings light come on and the car sputters and dies in traffic.

The vehicle is displaying mil on these 4 warning lights: lane keeping assist problem, adaptive cruise control problem, collision mitigation system problem, and road departure mitigation system problem. The issue is intermittent and can showing up for days and disappear and then come back. Sometimes restarting the vehicle a few times will make it goes away, sometimes not, which render these advanced safety features useless. There are many users have reported on this issue. Please make this a recall to get it resolved.

On 3/18/24 I started my car on a routine after school pickup trip but my notification system started blinking with different sensor problems. I took pictures of the display and tried to drive my car and saw at the time it did not affect drivability. I made an appointment with my dealer and brought it in 3/25/24. I started researching if there might be a pattern with other Honda Pilots and did find some discussion boards about 2020/2021 Honda Pilot that had a similar event—sensor problems displaying for no evident triggering event. I brought my car in for the appointment and the advisor said they would run a diagnostic as well as address 2 active recalls on my Pilot and take care of the maintenance. The diagnostic test showed that I have a faulty front multi purpose camera that must be replaced. Ny car has about $70k miles so it is outside the warranty period so I am having to pay for this repair myself. Note: the active recall that was repaired at this same visit was an issue with wiring in the rear camera. I asked the advisor if it was possible that the camera issues were related even though they were different cameras and he said at the moment there were no recalls for the multipurpose camera so he could not say. I am submitting this claim to document a possible safety concern that should be covered under a recall. Other incidents noted: when advisor asked if I had experienced any issues starting car, I did mention that last summer appx. Aug 2023 at a stop light my car went in idle mode (auto start/stop function) but when I took my foot off brake to go on green light the car did not restart. I had to get my key and push it into the ignition button to restart it. This has happened 2 since I’ve had the car. With all the recalls and these auto stop/start issues, I have experienced lower confidence & satisfaction in my Honda Pilot, but I am worried that safety may be an issue as well.

The front multipurpose camera that controls all safety features has failed. This is a major safety hazard because almost every safety feature is non functioning. These include automatic emergency brake, blind spot warning, forward collision warning, lane departure warning and all included in the adas.

Failure brake system, failure anti-lock brake system, failure hill start assist, failure adaptive failure cruise control, failure lane keep assist, failure collision mitigation, failure breaking system, failure road departure mitigation system, failure low speed braking, failure auto high beam, failure parking sensor and no awd only fwd. I have picture of dashboard with each failure listing when changes. We live in NY we had big snowstorm and car failed on road. Dealer refuse to send loaners and also back order to end of March. Car is defective.

Something with the brakes and the car performing it’s safety measures when unnecessary it hesitate.

While driving, the transmission would not gear up to any higher gears and could only drive 40mph with 3000+ rpms. The mil lights showed "check engine," "emissions system problem," "transmission system problem," and "blind spot info system problem," all at once. When pressing the "p" button for park, it did not always want to engage in park. The engine would sometime stutter on acceleration. The "p" and "d" for park and driver on the mil would constantly blink. This action placed the driver and occupants at risk of injury because of the stutter and slow speeds on the highway. Also, when the "park" button did not engage, the car was at risk of rolling into person or property. Currently, service has been scheduled for the dealership to diagnose the issue. There were no warning signs prior to all of these warning lights showing up all at once.

I received a transmission system problem warning and a blind spot info system warning. Also the spot on the dash that tells you if you are in park, neutral, drive or reverse has all of the letters on top of each other and they were flashing.

I am reporting a safety defect in my 2020 Honda Pilot ex-l ~86,300 miles. The rearview camera and electrical/infotainment system intermittently fail, showing static, disconnecting bluetooth, and sometimes leaving the camera blank. This creates a serious safety risk when reversing, driving in tight spaces, or transporting my children. These issues began within the first year of ownership (2020–2021) and continued after recall 23-047, during which cables were replaced and the system later rewired in August 2023. Despite these repairs, the defects persist. The dealership pohanka Honda fredericksburg confirmed the faults multiple times but now refuses to repair, quoting over $3,000. The vehicle has also experienced three dead batteries since 2020, leaving me stranded multiple times, including once during out-of-state travel. There were no warning lights for the battery failures, but infotainment and camera issues were noticeable immediately. The vehicle has been out of service for approximately three cumulative months, impairing reliability and my ability to perform daily work and family responsibilities. These defects have significantly impaired the use, value, and safety of the vehicle, especially given my responsibilities as a single mother, caregiver to a blind parent, and emergency department practitioner. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer and reviewed by Honda corporate. I am seeking a proper remedy for a federally mandated safety feature (rear camera, fmvss 111). The vehicle and affected components are available for inspection upon request. This complaint documents ongoing safety risks, repeated battery failures, and unresolved recall-related defects that began under warranty. Honda’s failure to properly repair these defects continues to create unsafe driving conditions and a serious risk of injury to myself, my passengers, and the public.

Pilot was parked and when I went to get in it to leave, I noticed the rear window looked weird. Walked around back and the back glass had just exploded. Glass was bulging with a large missing piece. It was cracked all the way thru and on the passenger side was a big piece missing where a rear defroster module would be located. The glass was still creaking when I realized this happened. It was not caused by something hitting it as there was not glass in the inside. I think it was caused by the rear defrost which was not on at the time. Glad it did not happen when I was driving. Just happened, but if I know Honda, they will not stand behind their vehicles. "not our fault".
