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.

2020 Honda Pilot touring has complete black out of all electronics and the dash board since purchase regardless if the vehicle is moving or stationary. Popping and cracking constantly throughout and behind dash/windshield regardless if the car is stationary or moving. There is no way to measure engine speed, fuel, oil pressure, or what gear you are in. Total electrical failures are occurring since purchase, and the dealer has no fix for the issues, but does acknowledge all of these safety and electrical failures are factory born, and Honda has failed to find or provide a fix. With all systems failing, the car is not safe to drive. The brake system will brake when you are traveling slow or at high speeds, regardless of the fact that nothing is around the vehicle. This car should be recalled and returned to the factory before more people are killed or injured. The current recalls do not fix any of the electrical safety issues. These cars require a total rewire of faulty harness wiring which is a fiber optic defect from the factory, therefore, software updates do not and will not fix these safety issues. All of these vehicles require a total rewire. Honda should be ashamed of themselves for allowing consumers to continue driving these death traps!.

Was at a light electronica stop and goal control kicked in the car went off when I went to hit the excelerator to go the car did not restart just the electronica stayed on shut the car totally off try to restart it would not start turn the car off again tried to restart it the car started and drove fine.
The engine with shuts off normally when I come to a stop when I have the system engaged. The problems begin when I take my foot off the break expecting the engine to start up again. What happens consistently (though not all the time) is that when I take my foot off the brake, the engine shuts off, shifts itself into nuetral, and I have trouble getting the engine to start up again. This occurred two separate times. I brought the car to the dealership and they can't find anything wrong with it.

9/8/20 at 7:45am a clear sunny morning on my way to work. I was stopped at a red light and when the light turned green I pushed on the accelerator. As soon as I started to pick up speed ~15-20 mph, my Honda Pilot sensed another "invisible" collision hazard and engaged the automatic collision avoidance braking system. The automatic braking system slammed on the brakes and brought the vehicle to an immediate and compete stop while I was turning in the middle of the intersection and the truck behind me almost rear-ended me. This faulty automatic collision avoidance braking system slamming on the brakes for no reason at all is going to severely injure or kill someone! I am afraid to drive home from work.

9/7/2020 around 2:15pm on a beautiful clear, sunny day, my 2019 Honda Pilot incorrectly sensed an "invisible" collision hazard and engaged the automatic collision avoidance braking system. There was not even a vehicle driving in front of me. My 2019 Pilot automatically slammed on the brakes and brought the vehicle to an immediate and compete stop while I was driving 55 mph on a busy highway. The vehicle behind me almost rear-ended me. This faulty automatic collision avoidance braking system, slamming on the brakes for no reason at all, is going to severely injure or kill someone!.
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.
When you apply brakes above 30 mph steering wheel shakes and brakes pulse. Dtc 84-1 and abs system test says that the vsc/abs loses communication above 30 mph with no number code shown.

Popping, cracking even if radio off. Sometimes light pings like rock hitting windshield sometimes loud long static sound. Radio cuts odd and on. Navigation screen will cut in and out and go blank (black). Speedometer dial will reboot and or go blank and reboot. This is all while driving the car. I have had the rear view camera not come on when first putting it into reverse to back up. It did come on after putting car into park and then back into reverse. We had recall work done yesterday 8/10/20. 20-047 6mb002018-21 and 20-051 6hr002019-20 picked car up today and popping and cracking not fixed. Had service tech ride with me and he heard it and also witnessed the radio/navigation screen go out. The �cluster� did not go out during this time. Unsure if the cluster will go out again but the other issues are not fixed. He put in a ticket that states they are unable to fix problem at this time as Honda does not have a fix. These issues occurred on highways, parking lots, stationary in driveway.
I got this car only 1 week; I heard the noise from steering wheel and the problem when I hit gas and shift the transmission. On July 13, I drop the car to fix for 2 days. Then, only 2 week after I have experienced cannot hit gas and I cannot hit the brakes. The all engine light, break light, tsa light and other 3 lights is coming. I have to tow my car to dealer shop. This car is bad car.
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.
We purchased a new 2020 Honda Pilot touring on July 11,2020. After 2 days we noticed static,c crackle and popping sounds from the radio and this happens with the car in motion or sitting still. Then the dash goes completely black affecting the speedometer and all the gauges, backup camera, etc. Took car back to wolfchase Honda service department and was told that there was nothing they could do because it was out of their hands. But american Honda was aware of the problem, contacted american Honda and was also told that they could not replace the car but we would have to wait until a recall was issued. No regards for our safety at all. As of today, August 7, 2020 with 637 miles on the car Honda still have not repaired the problem. We have purchased 3 vehicles from Honda but after this, its our last. Very unhappy and dissatisfied with Honda at this point.
Follow-up on complaint #11340119. July 26, 2020. As previously noted in complaint, 2020 Honda Pilot information system popping noise: now the electrical service to information system is completely blacking out: no speedometer information, no telephone, no back-up camera. All information systems go black from 10 seconds to several minutes. Just before this happens emergency breaking notification is displayed. No display on freeway for speed, lane assist malfunctions and backing sensors do not work. Car is unsafe to drive and Honda says it cannot fix system. Only have 1900 miles on vehicle. Thousands of lives are at stake. What are you going to do nhsta? wait for folks to die?.
I have been going back and forth with the dealership about the car makeing poping sounds a. D the entire dashboard going out and I can't see anything on there. Screen is out I can not see my speed and it hits the brakes when ever im driving and I almost crashed with my kids in the car with me. I am worried for the safty of my kids.
Different warning problems shows up on dashboard comes on and off sometimes. Took it to a Honda dealership and they say its fuel injectors.
�driving at 35 mph on my way home on a side street and my car jolted and stalled and several (5)warning lights came on. Vehicle stability, brake, trammision warning, and a couple other lights. I turned the vehicle off and restarted the car. I tried to drive it in a parking lot so I was able to get safely out of oncoming traffic . And it would not shift properly and I couldn+t drive it at all as I would try to start and it wojld rev to 4000-5000 rpms and would pop in and out from gear to park. . I had it towed from the parking lot I was in to my machanic . My concern is that I don+t feel safe driving on the highway with shifting issues, stalls and jolts that have happened if I were on the highway when that happened, going at 65 mph, it would have caused unnecessary accidents. It+s extremelyndangerous with my children in the car as well as innocent bystanders still no recall for my vehicle.
The car was parked. I started it up and put it in reverse and it wouldn't move. So I put it back in drive. It wouldn't move. So I put it back in reverse and gave it a little gas. It barely moved. So I put it in park and shut it down and pumped on the brakes a few times. I let it sit for a few seconds and tried it again and it was back to normal. Another time the same thing happened but it seemed like the brakes squeezed really tight. Overtight. . . . Because it made a loud spring like popping noise from the brakes. It's done this now several times and im worried that it will happen while driving. . . . Especially on the freeway. Like I said, its happened multiple times. Parked on the street, in a parking garage, on a steep hill in seattle, on a dirt road in the mountains coming back from fishing, some 22 miles from any main road.

Error message �the vehicle stability assist system has a problem. Use extra caution when braking and cornering. Have your vehicle checked by a deal immediately. � this has happened 7 times in the last 10k miles and the dealer has ignored this issue and called it normal.
When I started the car, put my car into reverse mode as I was moving out (backward) the rear view camera screen will go black and will not display after the error "network communication lost" on the screen. It takes at least a minute to two until it restart, sometimes more than 10 mins or it restart and go black again. Another multiply times, same error happened, and everything went black, the center infosystem and the drivier information screen. (see picture) the gps was lost, so I am not sure if I am still on the right path, I have no idea how fast I am going, or if any of the driving assistance are still active. I. E. Cruise control, lane departure warning/assistance, speed meter tires pressures if any other warnings. All these started happening in around middle of June. Now, this error is happening everyday, every drive, I have went to dealer service center to have them check and fix the error. They said they reset the system and should not see this error anymore, but I am still seeing this error even after they service the car. I went back to have it services at least 3 times already, they told me they did some wiring, reset the console and it shouldn't happen again, but still seeing this problem as of today.
#1 keyless remote entry has not worked for over a year now, dealership wants to charge $300. Automatic lock feature is not working any more. Based on my research it is a known issue that Honda keep guessing on and charging for replacing, with no real fix. #2 when driving, all of the sudden all engine lights start coming on, break, power steering, vehicle stability. . . All of them one by one. At the time my Pilot started "pulling", and rpm gage was jumping up and down. A few days later took it to the mechanic and this time, it only had the engine light on and a code p0304 was detected. Changed all spark plugs and coils, engine light went away for a week. Again, driving on the highway all lights start coming up again and the same "pulling" happens. This is definitely not safe to be driving on. Other Honda Pilot same year drivers are having the same issue.

�keyless start system problem� appear after 40,xxx mileage. The Honda dealer is just guessing right now they replace my battery but after a day the same error reappear. There is definitely a manufacture defect as there so many issues regarding this if you google it. My car wont start then got towed to the dealer and it might die again now that it reappear.
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.
My car will accelerate without me pressing the gas. And my airbag light is on I'm concerned it will explode like the ones on other Honda Pilots.

I had just bought this vehicle, and only had it 3 days when it begin to idle high and it seemed as if the car was in neutral while I was driving but it wasn�t. Then the d light began to blink and then the check engine light came on. I stopped at a car repair place turned the car off, and when the person got in and turned the car back on it was like nothing happened for a few minutes then it started acting up again, but as soon as the car is turned off and then on again it acts normal for a few. I wasn't doing nothing but driving at the time at a speed under 60mph. When I was on the highway going over 60mph it didn't do it at all.

Warning light keeps indicating there is a problem with my keyless remote. I've changed the battery, but that didn't help. Sometimes the light doesn't come on. It's about 50% of the time. It happens when I first start the car as well as when I'm in motion.
On the way to work while driving, navigation screen and speedometer screen went blank/black and stayed off for 3 days until I could get it into the dealership. I had to continue to drive back and forth to work 4 miles each way. Backup camera didn't work nor did usb cable. Car had approximately 4,500 miles on it at the time. This happened Tuesday March 3, 2020.
Poppling noise from speakers. Electrical malfunctions in digital displays. Replaced wiring harness. 700 miles later same problem, information cuts out. . . Could lead to crashes or malfunctions. Thousands of complaints on line. Happens stopped, driving, or parked. Thousands and thousands of complaints. What are you going do do nhsta.
The vehicle has frequently had an issue with the infotainment system glitching which leads to the lkas (lane keep assist), aac (adaptive cruise control), and lane departure system to fail while the vehicle is in motion. When turning the car off after these issues occur, the infotainment system will stay on, draining the battery. The vehicle has been taken to a Honda dealership. The dealership stated that an update would fix this issue. Once we informed them and they confirmed that the system was already updated, they told is there was nothing we could do. The only way we can stop the infotainment system from staying on is by removing the fuse for the infotainment system. We have contacted Honda and they have refused to do anything about this.
2019 Honda Pilot elite center console, dash, infotainment, navigation system randomly stops working and goes blank under all conditions driving, at light, parked on highway and city streets. Display says connecting and no signal even for fm radio. This is dangerous distraction and leaves us unable to administer navigation, safety items or any other on board information. Parking sensors, auto braking and lane departure does not work.
Multiple warning lights on the dash, check engine light is on including road departure mitigation warning, trailer stability assist warning, hill start assist warning, vehicle stability assist warning, emissions system control warning, all wheel drive system warning, power steering warning and acc warning where all came up at the same time with a sudden jerk and car cannot go beyond 20 mi/hr while I was driving in the highway that almost got me into an accident with an individual on the rear almost bumped me. Now I'm afraid to drive it. I actually got the attention of my dealer (norris Honda) when the jerking started at the mileage of 34,100 miles and happened several times but with no warning light coming on. They did a test drive and it so happened that it didn't happen when they tested it and no check engine light on. They told me that they have had several incidence of the same problem with other customers with Honda Pilot 2016 and 2017 and is a common issue and ended up having to change the fuel injectors and have solved their problem. The problem though is, my car is only 3yrs old and having all these problems now and they charge $1800. 00 to change the injectors, which I think is way too much for a fairly new car with dealer being aware of the first jerking problems before the warranty ended. I have been having all Honda cars since I started having a car because of its reliability and performance and now this happened. It has been a very common problem but no recall has been made. I hope that there will be no accidents with one losing life before a recall is made. I hope you can help me out with this, thank you.
My 2019 Honda randomly brakes while I'm driving almost causing someone to rear end me, and other times almost causing me to be in accidents. In addition, at 19k miles my transmission went out (started catching, making a grinding noise) while I was driving on the interstate and caused the vehicle to decelerate. I pulled off the road turned the vehicle off, once restarted it decelerated and the transmission light, emissions light and blind spot light came on the dash board.
The dashboard has a popping/cracking noise all the time like electric short when listening to music or radio it sounds like a scatch cd all the time or if the stereo its off still does it I have take it to the dealer four times they said they know about the problem but are waiting on Honda for the next step but there are a lot of cars affected with the same problem I hope they do a recalled to fix this.
