Radio/tape Cd Player Problems of Honda Pilot

When using apple carplay (wired or wireless), audio intermittently skips and stutters like a skipping cd or static am radio. This only occurs on carplay, not bluetooth. The skipping can make navigation prompts and hands-free calls unintelligible. Bluetooth audio works fine. Concern: the infotainment/head unit system may be part of the known most bus / fakra connector issue documented in Honda TSB a20-058 (which covers 2019-21 Pilot/passport). Although my VIN shows no recalls, the behavior suggests a communication defect in the infotainment system. Safety relevance: this impacts driver attention and safety, since distorted carplay audio interferes with navigation directions, voice calls, and siri prompts. It forces the driver to look down at the phone more frequently, which increases distraction.

My car was "stall out" at a stop light or stop sign when I was in "auto idle-stop" and pressed on the gas. I first noticed that the auto idle-stop was hesitating when it would start up. I also noticed that the radio would "cut out". After that, the vehicle would just stall out and I would have to push park, put my foot on the brake and then push start. This is very inconvenient when you are at a stop light or getting ready to make a turn and the vehicle just "dies". Took it into the dealership and they said it was a software adjustment. The auto idle-stop worked for a couple of days, then started hesitating and now it intermittently stalls when the gas is pressed.

The infotainment unit is consistently shutting down. This includes the navigation, tv, radio and backup camera. This happens while vehicle is in motion.

The infotainment system is not functioning to include: back up camera, phone hands free, maps, radio, clock, etc. The unit has been inoperable since December 2020.

Display audio/information screen became hot while driving and screen malfunctioned while using apple carplay with iphone plugged in via usb cord. Display screen runs warm while phone is disconnected. Display screen does not turn off after tuning off the engine and the lights dim. The problem occurred concurrently while driving in rain, the gas light alarming, and carplay running audiobooks. The audio/information screen lost fm radio, bluetooth, carplay, back-up camera, and hands-free capabilities.

Honda Pilot 2003 cranked up started driving, after a min or two it shut off and wouldn't crank back up. I've replaced the main relay and a new fuel pump but when you put the key in and try to start it, it doesn't turn over all the way. It wants to but won't. Also more electrical issues along with radio and head lights. Something is terribly wrong and ive put alot of money into trying to find out what it is and have been guaranteed that part will fix it but no luck. New parts help but not with turning over and starting.

"network connection lost" when using infotainment system. Dash/speed cluster goes black and reboots in mid drive. "fm unavailable" displayed when listening to radio. Collision warning "brake" message displays randomly. Sandy/popping noises randomly in speakers. All of these I can not reproduce on the spot, it is random that I can tell at this point.

While driving on the throughway I heard popping noise when I hit a bump, then gets worse and lost my radio sounds and controls on my infotainment. I lost my speedometer and my infotainment system completely off then restarts several times saying lost network connection until it completely turned off. I cannot turn it on by pushing the power button. I went to my dealership and complaint about the popping noise but they could not replicate it until it got worse. My speedometer was blank while driving. I started having this issue after two weeks on picking up the car brand new. I think this is a safety concern that Honda does not want to fix or have a fix!.

Previous complaint NHTSA id 11111894 submitted 7/17/18. For car stalling after entering into auto idle stop. Replaced battery in August 2018 and didn't have any problems until now. Has happened at least 3 times now in sept. And oct 2019. . At first, radio or dvd player would cut out but has progressed to full on stalling after entering auto idle stop. Same problem as before and all other complaints. After car goes into idle stop, it does not restart after take foot off brake. Have to put car in park, press brake, and push start button to get it to restart. Can take several tries and several minutes.

Factory stereo. I had brought my car to lia Honda in enfield to see why the factory radio works for everything but the sirius xm radio. They told me it would need a new antenna after having the car for three days and not knowing what was wrong. Car has 58827 miles on it and is a 2016. They want to charge me 750 dollars to replace my antenna.

2010 Honda Pilot, I have had it since brand new. This is the 4th or 5th winter I have no brakes when the temps are below freezing. The pedal is basically frozen in place. I have to continually press on it until it loosens as I press down on the pedal. I have had it to allstar Honda, told them park it outside like I have to, hop in & drive on a day in the teen temps. They told me they can't recreate the problem which means they didnt drive it or they are lying as they don't know how to fix it. They would not change my spark plugs with recall because no error code showed although I had sluggish acceleration especially on the freeway. I had a mechanic change my plugs (at my expense) & no longer had trouble with acceleration. But Honda wouldnt do it because no error code, the recall was basically an extended warranty. They claim they cant find trouble in my electrical for the radio as my radio freezes up intermittently for anywhere from hours to weeks. I am unable to change radio stations, turn on or off, or make any changes other than volume. As of Saturday, I began experiencing no brakes while driving. I warmed my car, pressed the brake pedal repeatedly until my brakes worked,drove roughly two miles stopping at traffic lights twice & then when I tried to step on the brake, the pedal wouldnt budge, I had no brakes. My prior complaint to Honda was referring me to the same dealer then not returning of my calls. My brakes are worsening. I cant afford a new car or I would have gotten rid of this 3-4 winters ago to avoid this major safety issue. This is a risk to me, my children and my father who I drive all over. There are several sites on the web where people chat about the same problem in the mw and even in canada. They have bled the system and have no cure. I want working brakes 100% of the time.

1. I am getting static on the radio, the dealership is not solving this issue completely. I know by turning on and off the car it will resolve it for an amount of time and it comes back. This occurs when driving and not driving. 2. Issues with tire low pressure the dealership is not solving this issue completely. I know by adding air it will resolve it for an amount of time and it comes back. This occurs when driving and not driving.

While driving on the highway, I adjusted the radio volume. It instantly went to the maximum volume, and all controls to adjust the volume became inactive. The radio was so loud I feared my speakers would blow or my ears would be damaged. Unable to turn the radio off, I pulled off the road and shut off the engine. An online search revealed that others have experienced the same problem. There appears to be a software glitch that causes the problem to occur when the volume is adjusted while the turn signal is active.

I have a 2015 Honda Pilot with navigation. The navigation system and radio have continuously rebooted on their own since Tuesday. Honda cororate refers me to the dealerships. The dealerships refuse to work on the car as they say it is a widespread issue and they hope it just resolves itself in a few days. The fix I was told to do didn't work. I am caught in the middle as are many others and no one knows what the problem is. The service manager refuses to look at the vehicle as he says it is a widespread issue so it has to be satellite problems and can't be a vehicle problem. I am scared to drive it. The reboot occurs whether driving or stationary. It turns out all lights and displays in the middle of the dash (radio, air indicators, time, navigation).

Interior door handle has metallic tape coating. Tape is peeling off. 2 of my children were cut by the metal. Kids cannot open interior passenger door without being injured. They are now scared, and may be reluctant to open door in an emergency.

While driving my 2006 Honda Pilot I heard a loud thud in the back seat area of my vehicle. When I looked back I noticed that my left rear window was missing. It appears the window regulator snapped allowing the glass to fall inside the door area. I was on the way to pickup my 2. 5 year old son and had to pull over and purchase plastic and tape to make repairs in order to get vehicle home. I cannot drive the vehicle and park it as a criminal can now easily access my vehicle by simply reaching inside. Thankfully, this did not occur while I was inside a store or other urban area or my car would have been easily accessible to anyone who may have wanted to steal items from inside my vehicle. It appears this is a known issue with Honda Pilots and other Honda vehicles from the late 1990's to late 2000's. I contacted Honda to report the issue but was offered no immediate relief as there is no recall on these defective window regulators despite the widespread issues. This vehicle was purchased brand new by me in 2006 and this is the rear left window which has probably been rolled down less than 30 times in the past 8 years.

At various speeds there is a very annoying shuddering and vibrating and growling at 45 mph to 68 mph. Just when your ready to have a smooth ride on the highway it begins to shudder in eco. . . On a straightaway while free wheeling and while I am on cruise control . . . If you accelerate or decelerate, it will cease for a second and begin again. . I have even stayed at 68 mph to see how long it would last on a straight away while it was shuddering. . . . And it continued . . . Until I decelerated. . I also get these small bucks and surges , . Or a feeling of pulling me along but feeling like I am going to fall out of my seat at the same time. . In eco. Until the shuddering stops and then it feels smooth again, for a minute. . . . And then the shuddering begins again. . . . My tires are balanced and I have had an engine mount neutralizing. . . The Honda Pilot has vcm. . . It is very uncomfortable to your ears the vibrating. . . On top of your peace of mind on your way home from a day at work. . . . Looking forward to relaxing listening to the radio to ease yourself before you get home to your family life. . . Wow. . . Not relaxing at all !!! something is definitely wrong with my vehicle. . . .

Every since I purchased this new car - the a/c is so so loud!!! you can hear it click on and it almost sounds like its going to blow up!!! I took my new car for its 1st oil chg on 7/14/2012 and asked them to check it out. They did and said that noise is normal. Its so loud - I shut it off at times - because its competing with the radio with volume!! this is not normal.

I have a 2003 Honda Pilot with dvd player and wireless headphones. My wife and I were driving on the highway with our two young kids who were watching a dvd with the headphones. The kids stated that the headphones stopped working and started making a white noise sound. A few minutes later we saw smoke come out of the dashboard, through the tape deck and other openings. We were scared to death and had limited visibility. Fortunately, I was able to pull over without wrecking. We all got out of the car and let the smoke clear. Afterwards, we took it to the charleston, SC dealership. Even though they found burnt parts in the dvd player, they refused to help. They wanted over $1000 to put in a new dvd player. We took the paperwork and left, while the dvd headphones still do not work to this day. I even filed a complaint with the bbb, without success.

This problem presented itself shortly after purchasing the vehicle and has been an intermittent annoyance since then. Sometimes after starting the vehicle and turning the radio on there will be no sound from the speakers. Sometimes after driving a while, perhaps 20 minutes or so, the radio will emit a loud electrical popping noise and sound will come from the speakers again. Also if the vehicle is shut off let sit and then turned back on the radio will start working again.

The radio is constantly losing reception when vehicle hits a bump. Sometime it will reconnect when another bump or hole is hit. The radio was replaced, but there seems to be something in the antenna that is defective.

The dvd system is making a rattling noise. The roof makes occasional loud rattling noise, especially when driving on a little bumpy road. It sounds like two metallic surfaces are banging into each other. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership multiple times for repair but the problem is still there.

Same situation as released in odi case number 10172900. I had a tremendous amount of smoke coming from the dash. The smell of burning plastic or circuit board was strong. After the incident, my rear dvd headphone outputs, both wired and wireless, no longer function. Took the Pilot to a dealer and they could not confirm the failure of the headphone outputs even though I requested that they put in a dvd to test the system. They did not have one available. The dealer would only pull the radio unit and recommend that I replace that unit. When I asked if they had tested the unit, the response was that they could not test the unit. The unit would have to be sent somewhere for test and possible replacement. They could not guarantee that this would fix the problem. To view the area behind to dvd player, I was advised that it would take a technician 8 plus hours to remove the necessary dash elements in order to get into the cavity containing the dvd player. There was a definite resistance to explore the suggestions I had as to why there may have been smoke. All I know is the there was enough smoke to require me to pull off the road and my daughter and I to "bail" out of the car.

Static and failure of radio to play. It happens intermittently so the dealer has yet to "hear" the problem. I believe there is an electrical problem.
