problem #3

Pilot ES 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 39,000 miles

Not sure if the vehicle will start when you press the push to start button; Worried that the engine might stop while driving in the highway and cause serious accident to others and my family; no solution from the dealership to the problem. There is no more fun in driving this car until the problem is solved!

Pilot Elite

  • Automatic transmission
  • 18,000 miles

2016 Honda Pilot Elite does not turn back on when the idle stop and go turns off the car. If I get go of the brake the car should turn back on but it hasn't on 3 occasions. This is a serious safety issue. I've take it to the dealership and they can't reproduce it so they can't do anything. I called Honda and reported the issue and they said take it back to the dealership and Honda can't do anything unless someone can reproduce it.

Same popping and flashing on the console of the car when I try to turn the car back on.

Did anyone get this issue resolved? I think I will need to contact a lawyer about this.

Pilot Touring 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 14,200 miles

Getting out of work at 7 pm. -15 degrees outside. Pushed brake, pushed start button, NOTHING! No cranking or anything. Tried remote start from key fob, NOTHING! Car strands me at work with temperature outside that could kill you. Tried opening/closing doors, locking and unlocking vehicle, still won't start.

Dealer thought it was battery. B.S. all lights and accessories worked fine. Battery tested 2 days later, no problem with battery. When I came back to get stranded car 2 days later, ready to call tow truck, I first tried to start it. Guess what? Fired right up with no issues. Dealer has NO CLUE what happened. Filed report with American Honda. They claim they never heard of such an issue. B.S. On website called Piloteers.org, many occurrences of Pilots not starting. Stay away from Honda Pilots. I'm trading it in for a Toyota
