This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
This is a fairly new 2016 Honda Pilot which has actually been pretty terrible based on the low mileage and all of the issues i have had with this car. the rear A/C actually blows hot air and when the rear A/C is on then the passenger and drivers A/C blows hot air as well. a very, very annoying issue. Honda should have had a recall due to this problem but has never even mentioned it when it has been serviced. wont buy any more honda at all.

When the front AC is on, the back AC blows hot air and when you put the back AC on, the front is not as hot it actually turns lukewarm. I have trouble with the heat in the winter also. I work 45 minutes away from home and when the heat gets up to temperature it's good but then right when I am getting to work, the heat blows lukewarm when it comes to an idle (at a stop sign etc....)

When I turn on both A/C (front and back) no problem. (all air outlet (front/back) come out cold air)
When I only turn on the front A/C, rear air outlet comes out hot air.
It should be coming out as previous setting temperature. (Why is heating valve open at Low temp set)
Update from Jun 13, 2017: Today I went to the service center, they say A/C system has updated.
So, uploaded my pilot, it's reduced to about half of the amount, but still hot air came out.

To replicate issue:
- Have both front and rear areas set to instrument panel vents (this is critical to replicate the issue) - Turn off rear instrument panel vent - Front instrument panel vents will get colder - Rear panel vents will start to blow hot air - Turn on rear instrument panel vent - Front instrument panel vents will still be cool but not cold as when the rear vents were off
It's a design flaw and Honda needs to extend warranty on this. Luckily it was covered under extended warranty but the bill was $1500. The fix was to replace the heater core. The issue is back once again.
