Electronic Stability Control Problems of Honda Pilot - part 2

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Honda Pilot. While driving 55 mph, a burning rubber odor was detected and the brakes did not respond normally when the brake pedal was depressed. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the vehicle stability assist module failed and needed replacement. The mechanic recommended that the vehicle be taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired.

I bought a 2020 new Honda Pilot elite on October 2, 2019 with 245 miles on it. I brought my Pilot elite into the dealership on December 26, 2019 after discovering a popping noise which sounded like a firecracker going off that seemed to be between the windshield and dash while driving. Mileage was at 3,956 at this time. On January 17, 2020, I brought my Honda Pilot into the dealership again. It developed a popping noise again between the windshield and dash sounding like a firecracker going off when I was driving. On February 5, 2020, the Honda Pilot was once again brought back in. It was popping and cracking this time in the audio unit but now also door locks we're making noise when in stationary or while driving. The control panel had also shut off a couple times where you only saw a dark screen and it would reboot. On July 14th, after hearing this loud popping noise for a couple months now while driving, I have taken it back to the dealership. It is worse when you go around any type of curves or on bumpy roads. If the road is completely straight and smooth, I do not have this problem. This whole ordeal is scary because it is a huge distraction for me and I fear for my safety. I have been told by the service advisor again today that Honda is aware and working on this issue. He stated a recall is coming out for it as well as the odyssey and passport but they are making the parts for it before they recall it. He said they can put a band-aid on it in the meantime until the part can be made. Since this is the 2nd time in the last 6 months I have been told this, I'm worried they are covering up the issue and waiting for my warranty to be up. Also, the sensor that tells you when a vehicle or object is close to you is faulty. I will be driving with nothing around me and it tells me to brake and goes into its �safety mode� which has caused me to almost have a wreck.

Loud crackling in speakers while listening to music or talking on car phone. Bluetooth and auxilary connectivity compromised by above complaint. Microphone on car phone randomly stops working causing major safety issues. Traction control goes out in the slightest weather conditions I. E. Light snow/sleet.

Car brakes by itself, shakes the steering wheel and shuts off and loses power ranging in speeds from 20 -60mph. On double lane roads to interstates in the rain and sunny dry days.

Huge/loud pop of radio, car doesn't beep, is still in drive, but is dead when: stopped but not sure that autostart is on� both times this horrible one happened, it was a very brief press on the breaks (11/5: on freeway; 11/6: at stop sign). Screens on dash popped loudly, and suddenly engine was dead. C. Situation: this was not a full autostop issue, so there wasn't any expectation that it was going to restart, rather it was still in drive and the engine was going. Suddenly I am rolling backwards as engine is dead. I am still in drive, so I have to press the break to stop rolling into the car at the stop behind me! then I try to put it in park or press drive again, that doesn't work. I have to completely reboot the car by pressing break and pressing power button, then press drive. This is incredibly scary on the freeway because this was not as slow moving traffic as when the other situations happen (I. E. You are just pausing, not stopping long enough for autostop to do it's thing). D. Repercussions: seems that after the huge �pop� one of the screens under steering wheel is not working properly. There is a blank screen instead of the �home� one which normally shows things like your cruise control following distance/set rate. Also the buttons for collision and lane departure turned off and I had to turn them on manually. E. Frequency: first happened Tuesday this week driving home from work, car had been parked all day, this was about 35 min into my commute. , I called and made yet another appointment to have it looked at. Then it happened the next morning, was chilly, this time happened within four minutes of starting up. F. Priority: I am extremely lucky I didn't have a fender bender either time. This should never happen, you should be able to trust that your engine is going to stay running. This will also get us in an accident.

My vehicle is automatically braking at high speeds for no reason. Ive travelers at over 50 mph on highways and it just suddenly slams on the brakes where I've almost been rear ended a few times. It's been in the dealership and they keep claiming nothing is wrong.

Clicking noising when in reverse or turning and also stalls between 40and 50 mph transmission has hard time shifting also sensitive breaking system always breaking lights comes on or it will suddenly break by itself. All this while car is in motion.

I own a 2017 Honda Pilot. It has 28,000 miles on it. There have been 5 times in the last 3 months that while driving less than 40 mph, the collision mitigation braking system engaged and caused the vehicle to brake without warning. I sent an email with a full description of the issue to van's Honda in green bay, wisconson. I received a phone call back and was told that the system is overly sensitive. There is a camera on the windshield and it sometimes picks up a glare. The rep at van's said the car can not be repaired.

Tl-the contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that the key-less start system problem message was displayed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted and the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 38,109. Ap.

1st problem. . . Video display worked only intermittently. 1st visit, wolfchase Honda updated software, problem continued. 2nd visit they replaced video unit. 2nd problem. . . Speakers started making crackling noise. Went on their site to make appt and received a notice that ot a recall notice about electrical issue (or a fleet campaign not sure which). They updated software on that 3rd visit. Speaker problem worsened after that visit and speedometer display and video (stereo system, navigation etc) would blank out while driving. System would generally reset but only after 30 seconds of non visibility to my speed, cruise control status etc. . Took it back for 4th visit. They stated they found an issue with tailgate sensor. Picked it up on Friday oct 4th and it started making the crackling noise in the speakers again yesterday, oct 5th. Last time, it eventually got worse until speedometer stopped working. Plan to make another appt (my 5th) this week. Craclking noise occurs when stopped, when driving, when vehicle is turned off (after being on). Video and speedometer display stop working when driving.

The owns a 2011 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle started shaking abnormally and almost stalled. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and waited for several minutes before the vehicle regained stability functionality and the vehicle stopped shaking. The vsa (vehicle stability assist) warning light illuminated. The failure had occurred five times. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed that the engine block was causing oil leaking from piston rings unto the spark plugs. The spark plug was replaced and the contact was advised to drive at speeds of 40 mph or slower. The repair was provided as a temporary fix. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

Twice the exhaust light and all panel lights has come up. The fist time the car was a few months old and the car was not even on, it happen when car was started. They fix the first time the second time they charge us even the car is not 50000 miles old.

Keyless start system problem, warning comes and goes, car wont start at times.

Once my Honda Pilot hit miles of 34,000, dashboard is shows warning "keyless start system problem". Shortly after I am having problem with start button which won't start one press, I have to press many times to start the car. . . I have changed my key fob battery, and still have same problems. Dealership won't cover this issue once the car drove over 30,000 miles. I did research on this issue specifically Honda Pilot 2016 model. There are a lot people who have same issues. I am afraid that my car won't start one day. Never had issue with other Honda models. . . Also this model 2016 Honda Pilot has issue with music dashboard, example: the radio display will black out during when I am driving, so had to turn off my car and turn on to get my radio display back or all of sudden I can not change the music volume etc. . . God knows what is the next problem?!.

The Honda Pilot's dashboard and lcd touch screen would restart randomly, for no reasons. The electrical systems would reset (or restart) several times a day without logical reasons. The american Honda automotive was not helpful when I informed them of the issue. This happens everyday, several times a day.

Within one week of purchase, I returned to dealer - gps unit sends me directions and distances far longer than any other gps - dealer spent an entire ray uoloading/downloading/updating - still sends me much longer distance and time directions. I am on road for my work. This has me not be able to use the gps that is the reason I "bought" a higher trim level - useless! longer distance adds to my fuel bill, adds detrimental impact to carbon footprint and environment, impacts my schedule for work and travel - immensely. **cruise control** - dangerous and puts me at risk for even speeding tickets. Car cruises up to ten miles "faster" than the settings I have it on sporadically. Also - at times, as the car cuises on its' own, higher than the set speed to control car at. . . The speed set - also "elevates" with the car speed elevating out of control! this car is risking my life and well being. Contraty to nhtsb article on how cars are safer. . . . No - they are putting lives at risk and drivers at mercy of higher expense and loss of time in schedules for dealers to investigate and still have car with issues. - Honda-link has been useless whe-n I have been stranded with warnings blaring on screen of my new as of 8-5-19 car! this is my 3rd Honda Pilot - most unsafe car I have ever owned and far from the peace of mind, my other Honda's have given me. I have videos I can share when someone reaches back out to me. I need help - dealers and myself are caught in Honda issues that Honda won't acknowedge or make right for me as a consumer. This is a brand new car I have already lost time, money, business while being caught in the middle of this commundrum unfairly. There is a class action suit out against Honda - why are any of us consumers having to endure so much stress and loss and life risk, because Honda is becoming like too much of corporate America?.

Drivers side mirror shakes while driving. Center control stopped working completely. Loud sound will come over on the radio and then all systems stop working. Back up camera does not work, radio does not work. Vehicle is turned off but the center control screen is frozen on and will not turn off. When on the bluetooth, recipient caller cannot hear person initiating the call.

Randomly the center counsel display will go blank as well as the driver's side display which contains the speedometer. Also failing at the same time is the dvd player. We also experience a �popping� noise through the speakers, even with audio system turned off. This usually is what happens first, then error messages (for example: �radio unavailable�, �no audio connection for fm�, �network communication lost�, �check tuner�), then screen goes blank. When this happens while the driver is driving, they are unable to activate or deactivate specific safety controls including lane keep assist, cruise control, automatic braking etc. The automatic braking warning is also lost when the display goes out, as well as the speedometer. When this happens , both display screens turn off and go black, which are huge safety concerns. From the center display, we lose the back up camera, radio, navigation, dvd player and ability to make hands free phone calls among other things. This can occur daily, every time the car is driven, or sporatic and not happen for a few days at a time. Car was purchased brand new in April 2019. Problem began in the beginning of August 2019, exact date unknown. Problems occur while the car is in motion or stationary, city streets, highway and at any speed and any time.

While we were driving on the highway. Going 55 mph when the lights of the radio and then the lights on the console began to flicker then they stayed dim my vertical would lose power and then would get power lime the gear was slipping then catching. It would make the car lunge foward then stop then lunge toward again . Then the a/c started turning off and on.

Lane keep assist will trigger multiple times on two lane roads. It will activate with the "brake" message in the cluster. The system is totally unusable and unsafe. It has been into the dealership multiple times with a no problem found answer. During a one and a half or two hour drive the system will trigger fifteen times or more. Average speed is about 50 to 55 miles per hour. It happens on straight or curved roadways. Clear weather and in the sun or shade.

My vehicle has about 50k miles and all of a sudden I receive a dashboard message that says "keyless start system problem" when I turn on the vehicle. The message stays displayed while the vehicle is on, and will only go off when the vehicle is turned off.

Vsa system constantly going on is a safety concern.

Since the transmission was replaced at 12,181 miles in June 2019 on a 2018 Honda Pilot elite, other issues have popped up. The forward collision system has gone off twice on a 2 lane state highway. In both cases, I was on a 2 lane highway going about 50 miles an hour with no cars in front of me for at least a mile or two, no vehicles coming the other way, on a straight part of the road, nothing in the road and nothing on the side of the road. The dealer said that it didn't happen to them when driving the car, so there's nothing to fix & Honda corporation said the dealer couldn't find anything to fix. One night when driving on the interstate it it stopped raining but was very muggy and there was moisture on the windshield the automatic wipers did not come on and the defrost did not work - this was over the course of several hours of driving trying different temperatures on defrost and nothing helped. Even with the wipers on manually, visibility was poor. Also, one day after the car had been sitting all day I drove it 20 miles and the car did not cool down - I had to run the air conditioner on full blast the whole time. The car is not cooling like it should! of course, when they tried it out it had actually already been driven 20 miles to the dealership with the air in early morning and then the Honda service department tested it out, there was cool air and said it's blowing just fine now.

While driving my 2019 Honda Pilot at 25mph or 60mph, without warning in the speedometer area emergency messages began flashing: power steering, transmission, lane mitigation, brakes, cruise control, engine, etc. With a message that says stop the vehicle and call the dealer. Their instruction is to hold the stop/start button down,until the car stops and then start the vehicle,if you can, and head for the dealership. The problem is the message continues while you continue driving. The transmission does not shift properly, and the steering feels less responsive. By the way you cannot use the rear hatch to get in or out of the vehicle. I will be taking it in to the dealership for the second time in two weeks for the same problem. No effective repair. I live in north dakota and my dealership is 130 miles one way. My wife is now afraid to drive the car. Can you help me. I bought the car new.

Keyless start system problem light comes off and on.

I was driving at 15 mph and my car jolted and stalled and several (5) warning lights came on. Vehicle stability, brake, power steering, and a couple other lights. I turned the vehicle off and restarted the car. I tried to drive it a few miles and it would not shift properly and I couldn't drive it more than about 20 mph. I had it towed from home to the closest Honda dealership. The vehicle had around 40k miles on it at the time. Honda said it's a known issue with a bulletin - stating that the cam shaft assembly needed to be replaced along with a sensor. They told me the cam shaft assembly was under the power train warranty but I had to pay for the sensor. When I did a little research, I found that Honda was giving extended warranties to newer models having the same issue and even doing recalls but my VIN didn't qualify. A few months down the road and my car started having shifting problems again. So, I take it in and they are saying the transmission needs to be serviced but the service only gets a little bit of the fluid out so they wanted to do the service 3 times and charged me for doing the same thing 3 times. After some research, I find out that it's a known issue that they are willing to give a limited warranty on up 80k miles. My concern is that I don't feel safe driving on the highway with shifting issues, stalls and jolts that have happened within 4 months of each other. If I were on the highway when that happened, going at 60 mph, it would have caused unnecessary accidents. It's dangerous but, still no recall for my vehicle and it's like fighting tooth and toenail with Honda to get them to do what is right. I don't know when or if it will happen again. I purchased my Honda brand new. This vehicle needs to be off the roads until the issues are fixed. I think I have a lemon!.

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Honda Pilot. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle independently braked without the brake pedal being depressed. Also, the stability control warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred on another occasion. The vehicle was taken to legends Honda kansas city (located at 10050 parallel pkwy, kansas city, KS 66109, (913) 871-9483) where it was diagnosed that the vsa module (code 841) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 09644189. The approximate failure mileage was 24,000.

First a lot of different lights were coming on saying different stuff was wrong. So had it fixed. They replaced the spring harness in the steering column. Then not long after the battery died replaced it and now the battery died again then all of a sudden the keyless remote start problem light turned on and the mitigation system doesn't always work it just work then sometimes doesn't work, their is no light that come on to tell me it not working I just know be I'm driving and might raft I drift over a white line and nothing happens and sometimes it work let's me know I'm going over the white line also if I'm coming up on another car to fast it doesn't let me no by beeping and sometimes it does and the center touch screen doesn't work at all and the ac/heat doesn't work either. My Pilot only has 45,000 and about 38,000 when I first started having the problems.

I purchased brand new elite 2019 Pilot in April of 2019. Immediately after purchase I had horrible static coming through all speakers, at times vehicle would not start, randomly the vehicle would sense a collision even when I was only one on road, windshield wipers come on randomly and other electrical issues would occur, brake light flashes randomly. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle at all. . I have taken it in three times now and every time I am told that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. I have been asked to take videos of it when it occurs. This is insane as my cell phone is disabled while I am driving. So, basically they are asking me to get phone, enable it and take a video all while I am driving with the vehicle doing all sorts of unsafe things. I have come close to being in a number of accidents due to the random collision braking occuring. I refuse to drive the vehicle on the freeway as I do not feel safe at all driving it. This has occured on the freeway, highways and city streets. I always drive in a lane where I can pull to the side if something occurs. I did not pay over 50,000 for a vehicle to not feel safe driving. I am tired of Honda telling me that they cannot find anything wrong with the vehicle. Basically implying that I am crazy and this does not occur unless I can get a video of it when it is happening. All services have been done at the morgan hill, CA 95037 Honda dealership. I have all paperwork on it but it is currently at dealership now again and the paperwork documentation is being attached and they have records in their files as well. I do not know what my next step is in getting help since the dealership just shared there is nothing they can do for me since they don't have a video and or witness these issues firsthand. Car serviced on 7/25/19, 4/13/20 and 9/18/20 at Honda dealership in morgan hill, CA.

When the brakes are applied the front end starts to vibrate as the car is moving on streets, roads, highways and interstate highways. Not during a turn, yet. Just moving forward. There has been no accident as of yet but, I am fearful that the vibration will not allow the car to stop in time to save my life as well as who ever I hit. This is a dangerous situation. The Pilot was taken to the local Honda dealership this morning. They called with a bill for 1,052. 00 for compliance bushings. This car is six years old with 61,026 miles, way too young to be costing me that much money for a �front / rear stabilizer�, that should be a problem at maybe 200,000 miles. Will I ever buy another Honda? let's see!!!!! hmmmm. I'm thinking about it.

Keyless start system problem.

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that the stability assist indicator illuminated and, shortly after, the vehicle started to jerk. Mcconnell Honda (2840 eastern blvd, montgomery, al 36116) was contacted and stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 134,174.

My vehicle just drove 20k miles, I am getting a popup "keyless start system problem" very frequently when ever I start my car. Mine is 2016 Honda Pilot touring awd. I went to dealer, first day he reset some code and the warning message went off. But immediately on next day it came again. I went to dealer again and they did 2 hours of investigation and told , they will replace the battery and they ordered a part. Yesterday my part was ready and they said they have replaced the part and replaced the fob batteries. The warning was went off on that day but, it came again today. I am totally frustrated with this behavior. When I search on the forums most of the Pilot customers had the same issue and they have reported in this forum. I am not sure how you will take it up but I am bit concerned on the vehicle safety how it behavior. I am getting this message when ever I start the vechile. Tried with both key fobs and with new batteries but no luck. My dealer is Honda of concord, bruton smith blvd, concord. Nc.

I am getting a "keyless start problem" error on my dash but my car is working fine. I have already replaced fob batteries and reset system by disconnecting battery. From my research online, this has been a big issue for Honda Pilots.

This happened to me twice. Seems to be when using cruise control for over 1. 25 hrs. When you press the cancel button on the steering wheel to cancel the set cruise control, the cars "check engine" light starts flashing. The engine will continue running but there is little to no power when stepping on the accelerator. Driver must pull over, turn off car and then restart. This is incredibly dangerous at high speeds or crossing over oncoming traffic! I brought the Honda Pilot back to the dealership. The service manager told me that both he and the district rep. Had the same thing happen to them last month with their 2019 Honda Pilot. Neither of them had any advice for me. But they were notably quite worried about the possibilities of this and immediately asked to hook a computer up to my car to try to find an error code. They found none! again, incredibly dangerous!!! apparently the Honda engineers aren't aware of why this is happening! I was told to "just keep driving it" we can't have the only three 2019 Honda Pilots that are doing this. . . . . . I fear someone will get injured.
