Honda Pilot

"Simply getting keyless remote error on dash. Car starts fine. Entry is a bit funky."

"Keyless entry was not working from time to time. Was a recall on an electrical part."

"It's just a warning light that comes up. I haven't taken it in because the cost to fix it is over $1000 and the car is still working."

"Sensor error"

"Key fob would stop working inherently. Would not start car"

"Battery is maybe 2 years old and the start stop begins failing. Battery is double cost of standard battery, but once it dips slightly the start stop fails while in use causing the car to not re-engage, e.g. you're in an intersection and the car won't restart, just a bunch of errors."

"Battery died. Very expensive to replace."

"Transmission lost programming code twice this year. Re-programmed PCM the a second occurrence 6 months later related to speed sensor. Dealer found no issue, reset the code and problem hasnt reoccurred. Second occurrence ; transmission and engine stuttered on interstate with multiple warning lights. pulled over shut of motor and restarted and it ran fine but went to dealer who couldnt find the issue. No problems since."

"Intermittent rapid flickering of dash warning lights, rapid clicking of relays, and triggering of security alarm. Root cause was dendritic growth causing short circuit in power control unit. A portion of the PCU circuit board was not properly sealed during production, which allows dendritic growth to form and eventually leads to a short circuit. The DIY fix entailed removing the PCU, cleaning off the dendritic growth and applying sealant to stop any further short circuiting of the PCU components. This manufacturing defect is common with Honda Pilot and Ridgeline models of this vintage. The alternative is to replace the PCU altogether. That would be a waste of money. The problem persisted for several weeks. Having the alarm go off in the middle of the night isn't popular with the neighbors. The diagnosis repair was found on YouTube. I repaired the PCU in Aug 2023. The situation was resolved with reoccurrences."

"Honda sent an SB that they would replace the starter motor. The real issue is the button. Once that was replaced, the auto shutdown feature was turned off I no longer need to press the button to disable this feature. I had the button replaced at a Honda dealership. I feel they shouldve covered that since it causes the starter motor to fail"

"Keyless start issue was an identified problem with 2016-2017 Pilots and were the subject of a service bulletin. I was getting warning lights and the dealer replaced the remote start switch under a Honda extended 9 year warranty on the problem. No cost to me."

"700 dollars to replace the remote starter in the dashboard withing 6 months of purchase."

"The fuel rail and injectores failed causing warning lights for engine and transmission to intermittently come on. Also, all the warning lights would come on and stay on. The dealer replaced the fuel rails and injectors. I cleaned and sprayed the fuse box ground plate, twice, and the lights all went off. Glass Doctor replaced the broken windshield, and the LKAS lights stayed on and adaptive cruise was disabled. The Glass Doctor had to change the windshield to OEM Honda windshield before the warning lights went out and calibration was sucessful. LKAS working OK now."

"Bluetooth"

"Satellite radio no longer receives signal despite active account. FM radio drops signal intermittently."

"The radio works about 15 minutes, when cool, but then stops working. There is no longer any sound. Likewise the navigation system also stops speaking directions. Similarly the in car phone doesnt work either after radio stops working. The dealer says the entire unit must be replaced for a cost of $1500, which I have not yet done."

"Same problem with the radio, no sound after 15 minutes of use of car regardless of the radio being used."

"The system does not understand any voice commands. It interrupts me mid sentence to ask me if I said something that was totally arbitrary yo my command."

"The voice control system starts on its own randomly and doesn't stop. It constantly says, "Pardon? No command was heard." It doesn't happen every time you drive the car, but easily over 75% of the time, and you can't get it to stop. Haven't yet found a solution."

"A factory recall on the injector system at the same time the injectors were acting up"

"The issue was first detected with an emissions system problem display that occurred intermittently over time for 3 years. I read that Honda had issued an extended warranty for fuel injectors up to 150,000 miles so I took it into the dealership at 148,000 miles. They said I needed a catalytic converter and fuel injectors and had a leaky oil pump. The repairs took 4 days and cost $4300 even with the fuel injectors covered by the warranty. The system error light has not recurred since the repair."

"Problem took a while to identify because symptoms were intermittant."

"The anti knock sensor throws a code. I add some high test and fuel treatment and it goes out."

"Emissions System warning light intermittently comes on the dashboard. The vehicle is going in for service and the exact problem will be diagnosed at that time."
