While stopped at a freeway off ramp. the car automatically shut off the engine per the start/stop feature. when the light turned green the car did not restart and instead completely shut off and put itself into park. i had trouble restarting while traffic built up behind me. this is not the first time this has happened. it is a very dangerous and disconcerting problem.
Keyless start system problem being displayed. still able to start vehicle, unknown how much longer or what if any features can and will be disabled. several other owners are complaining about the same exact issue. seems to be related to defective start/stop switch.
On january 13th, i left my home to pick up my son, julian, 3 years old, at preschool. his preschool is approximately 3 miles from our home. i picked him up, and drove the same distance back to our house, arriving home around 4:45pm. i had no unusual warning notifications or any unusual experience driving to and from the preschool. i parked the car in our driveway. julian and i exited the vehicle, and walked to our front door. as we approached the front door i smelled smoke, and looked back at the car. i noticed a small flicker in the passenger side lower headlight. upon closer look, i realized this was in fact a flame. julian and i left our bags on the porch, stepped off of our front porch, and moved away from the house and car, and called 911. as we waited for the fire department, we watched this small flame grow to full flames, engulfing the engine, front hood, and front of the car. the police and fire department arrived, and put out the fire. the car was towed out of our driveway. a police report was filed with the montclair police ...
Keyless start error message persists upon starting the vehicle despite keyless remote (for the moment) still working. message stays on while vehicle is being driven. multiple drivers of same model of pilot report same problem starting between 35-40k miles.
Keyless starter system problem light comes and goes. mileage 50k - have changed key fob battery, issue still randomly displays - seems to be more often now. find that if i try to not rush the turn off process it will sometimes help - ie put car in park - wait a few seconds, then shut off vehicle - doesn't always prevent message - quite unnerving wondering when i wont be able to start the vehicle - this has been going on for last 10k miles
Intermittent 'keyless start system problem'. it's very concerning and whenever i bring my car to the shop they seem to have never heard of this issues before. car works, but it is scary to wonder if my car will suddenly turn off or not turn on. please have this investigated.
The keyless start and entry light will not turn off. additionally many complaints about it and honda ignoring the problem. even more severe problems have been reported to you. this will lead to the car just stalling in the middle of the road. i have 2 children. please have honda address this asap.
The car's idle stop is not working properly. the radio consistently drops out and headlights flicker when releasing the brake to start the car after idle stop was engaged. multiple times the car has now failed to start and appears to stall out, and makes me shutoff the whole car and restart it. this is a safety issue as some people do not realize and might rear end me. i have taken it to my local dealer, been told they cannot replicate it initially, to them validating the issue and wanting me to bring it back. i don't have confidence in them fixing the issue at this point as they do not have familiarity with it, yet i see many complaints about it online. i feel this problem is more widespread than honda is communicating and the car has a fault in the auto idle stop design that they are not resolving.
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.
At startup, the dashboard warning light indicating "keyless start system problem" appeared and was only removed, perhaps temporarily by following a routine set forth at a community website. was informed that a repair at the dealer would cost $300+.
Keyless start system problem is on in the dash won't start or turn off sometimes
Will not start using the keyless fob. all trouble lights turn on when trying to start. foot on brake as needed to start. still won't start. the auto lock feature won't work. new batteries in the key fob don't help. had the car towed to the dealership and when it was lowered from the tow truck it started right up.
Right before it's turned on and while driving. i get an error message saying "keyless start system problem". then vehicle will sometimes not turn on randomly. have not taken the vehicle in for repair because i did much research and many people have taken their 2016 pilot to the dealer and after spending money, the dealer could not fix it.
Twice now my 2016 honda pilot elite with auto idling stop feature has stalled at intersection lights. while stopped at the red light the engine goes off and normally when i lift my foot off the brake it restarts and accelerates when i push the gas pedal. however, in these instances when i lifted my foot off the brake and went to accelerate, the engine completely stalled. a couple of warning lights came on, unfortunately i didn't read which ones because i was at busy intersections. the car would not start even after putting it into park. it took about 2 minutes before the engine would start. other drivers were trying to get around me, honking. the 2nd time, i was going to make a left turn and just had to wait until i could start it, watching in my rear view mirror hoping i wouldn't get rear-ended. i drive 75+ miles to work on a very busy and slow moving california freeway with lots of stop and go traffic. i am very concerned about our safety if this were to happen on a busy freeway where drivers don't realize i ...
When the vehicle is in an auto-idle stop (say at a traffic light) the car does not restart and stalls once the accelerator is pressed. this has happened sporadically and is very dangerous. the dealership said i can bring it in for a diagnosis but that they don't expect to find anything. this has happened numerous times and without warning. the most recent time was 10/23/19
