1 Navigational (global Positioning System) Gps problem of the 2020 Honda Pilot

Failure Date: 01/21/2025

The sun roof shattered without provocation while driving in the interstate. Glass showered in the cabin to the driver, front passenger and floor in the back seat. Temp outside was between 55-57f. Inside cabin heat in system was at 69f. Seat warmer were on. It was raining at the time of incident between 2:30-3:15pm. I (driver) was very shaken by incident but did not lost control of steering. Initially could not correlate explosion like sound to location. Thought it was in rear of car but upon feeling rain and recognition of glass in the cabin realized it was the sunroof. Vehicle was at around 60-65mph in 70mph. This is memorable as gps send notification of speed checks on zone prior to incident. Car in front was very far ( more than 10 car lengths) in two lane road. Car in rear was also at about 2 car lengths. Not reported to insurance as deductible is higher than cost of repair. Did not reported to police as no other vehicle involved and no loss of vehicle control. Definitely a safety risk. Both passengers were wearing glasses, and long sleeves due to weather and glass was all over driver and passeger. Explosion sound was terrifying and unsettling. No warning lights or sounds noted prior to the incident. Car had been driven the day before. Car is always stored in garage. This was first drive of day for car.

Infotainment panel goes dark for 5-10 minutes while the car is in motion. Attempts to reboots multiple times unsuccessfully and then finally recovers. Network connection lost message appears on the infotainment panel. Intermittent crackling noise in the sound system speakers. Creates a safety issue when vehicle is in motion on a highway and the gps display on the infotainment screen disappears right before taking a high-speed exit.

3 Navigational (global Positioning System) Gps problem of the 2020 Honda Pilot

Failure Date: 08/10/2020

I have constantly had to bring my car in again for the same problem since I bought it brand new in may 2020. On September 22, the audio/entertainment system completely shut down—it stopped playing music from the device connected to it and would not connect to a new device. The console then went completely black, and the audio system began to crackle incessantly, even when I turned it off. When I turned off the ignition and restarted the car, there was an error message on the display: “no audio connection” this had already happened multiple times since I had brought the car in for this problem a year prior. In some cases, I lost all displays, meaning I had no gps, speedometer, fuel indicator, or other safety indicators. Each time I called and/or I brought the car to the dealership, I was told that sometimes the system just crashes and that I should “reset it by restarting the car, just like an iphone. ” however, this has never actually worked. In every instance, I had to restart the car 2-5 times and hope that the system would correct itself. Usually it did not, and I would just have to wait for hours or even days before the entertainment system would spontaneously begin functioning again. When it happened in September, I brought the car in and demanded that something be done. After a day, a service advisor called me and said the previous repair from a year ago was done incorrectly, which led to recurring problems with the wiring harness. You can imagine how furious I was since I had to bring the car back several times during the first ordeal in 2020. Fast forward another 24 days (October 16), and the same problem occurs. When I lividly informed the service department that I was having problems again, I was informed that this is a common issue with 2019 and 2020 models (citing a lawsuit that was filed against Honda). The dealer was fully aware that these cars have this problem that pose a severe threat to passenger safety, yet it continues to sell them.

4 Navigational (global Positioning System) Gps problem of the 2019 Honda Pilot

Failure Date: 08/12/2019

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?.

5 Navigational (global Positioning System) Gps problem of the 2016 Honda Pilot

Failure Date: 09/01/2016

The bluetooth doesn't work as a true hans free. When making a call you have to place the phone to your ear wait for the other person to pick up then transfer the call otherwise you can't use bluetooth. Most names I say when trying to call someone by voice command ends up in 911. Also gps can't be played over the bluetooth unless you are listening to music from your phone via bluetooth. I was assured by Honda it was an apple product problem, but samsung works the same way. Thank you for the help Honda.
