All of my warning lights turned on back in Oct 2020.. we did some driving the day before, . but nothing crazy... every light went off.. so took it to dealership and they said it was fuel injectors.. so they replaced it all.. and said it should fix the problem... then I drove it to southern ca during thanksgiving and then all of sudden coming down from (grapevine) the car stalled, I press the gas and nothing.. I was able to coast it to side of the road..attached is a pic of what was coming up.. then I put car in park and and the RPM started to go up 4-5 RPM without me pressing gas, so I would turn off car.. 10 min later I started the car and was able to drive it off the freeway.. but couldnt drive more than 50 mph.. so the transmission would change.. so after getting towed and took few days.. took to Honda dealership in ventura ca.. worst service ever.. pretty much didnt want to look at vehichle.. so then took to another dealership more helpful.. all the error light was gone.. they told me only error was some oil pressure down.. and suggested that oil filter wasnt N authentic oil filter and thats what could have caused problem.. yes idont typically send to dealership but I do go to a authentic oil change company... so pretty much this error has caused twice in 3 months.. vehicle only at 61K when the 2nd one happen.. and not real solution.. I had my 2 kids and my wife when this all happen.. not safe at all.. please find a solution.. my local dealership offered to take my vehcile and drive it home with a technician to see if anything come up.. but now im seeing a lot of people having the same problem.. either transmission.. oil change.. reason I took Honda is due to the safety and relaiability.. but now im havign doubts.. please help!!.. luckily all under extended warrenty.. but for how long?

I am getting an error message on the dash that reads 'keyless start system problem'. stays on until I turn the car off and when I start the car the next time the message does not appear but when I start the car the next time it appears again.

Keyless start system problem warning message and associated warning light appears on dashboard display. Occurs when starting vehicle and while driving vehicle

- Reading, MA, USA

Error message 'keyless start system problem' keeps appearing after no change in driving, weather, or other factors. It comes on at start up or when parked. Multiple times. After holding the brake down for about a minute the message disappears but has since reappeared four times in the last month since first occurred. After researching on the internet it seems that there are hundreds of Pilot with the same issue.

Keyless start system problem: This has been a recurring issue. The Honda dealer keeps saying it's the battery, replaces the battery, fixes the issue for a day. The next day, the keyless start system problem comes back on the dash board. Must not be a key fob battery issue.

- Norfolk, VA, USA

When I try to start the vehicle by pressing the start/stop button while sitting in the vehicle with my foot on the brake, the key fob in my hand, and the vehicle in park, the vehicle will not start. Also, after several attempts, if the vehicle does start, I get a message 'keyless start system problem' and it often times takes several attempts to turn the vehicle off.

- Crowley, LA, USA

Vehicle start after several attempts of pausing the start stop button. After starting vehicle displays 'keyless start system problem'. discussed with several other 2016 Honda Pilot owners who shared same issues. This owner believes this is a major electrical issue which should be solved by a recall.

- Roselle Park, NJ, USA

Keyless start system problem notification using either fob, even after battery change. Dealer unable to detect or remedy issue. Possibly impacts walk-away autolock.

- Centreville, VA, USA

Keyless start system problem error. The start button is flawed.

- Jersey City, NJ, USA

The push button to start the button is very unreliable. I have you push the button dozens of times to get the vehicle to turn on or off. I also get a warning on the dash that says, "keyless start system problem".

We have a 2016 Honda Pilot touring. Since early 2018 we have been having issues with the idle stop system. The problem is when we are driving and we come to stop in traffic at a light, the idle stop system engages and shuts the engine down, like it is suppose to do. Once the light turns green for traffic to move, I release the brake and the idle stop system tries to engage and turn the engine on again, but fails and shuts the whole vehicle down, inoperable. The lights flash and I cannot turn the car on again for at least 1 to 2 minutes. Vehicles are honking and traffic is blaring across us, but I cannot turn the vehicle back on. After 2 minutes, I can restart the vehicle by pushing the button and brake and then the vehicle moves. This is a safety issue, since you never know when it wil lol happen, but it has always happened while in heavy trafffic or a busy intersection. In 2019, I took vehicle in for service, they said it was a bad battery. I replaced the battery in March 2019. The same identical problem still continued to occur multiple times. November 10 took the same dealer, howdy Honda, austin, tx. They again told me the battery was reading bad, but I had the battery tested at another shop and at the place of purchase, and the battery was more then fine and tested great in and out of the vehicle. The dealer of course said they could not recreate the issue and did not see anything when they tested the system. They just pawned it off on the battery, even though the battery is less than 2 years old and testing just fine. There is no way to permanently disable the system and if I forget to push the idle stop disengage button every time I start the vehicle, I could end up on the road in the middle of traffic and some driver decides not to pay attention and run into me and my disabled vehicle. This is unacceptable and such a hazard and Honda does not seem to care.

Keyless start system problem light shows up, looks like the push to start module is defective

- Gilbert, AZ, USA

Keyless start system problem appeared with no associated issues such as starting the vehicle. Error message was intermittent for 2-3 months. Ultimately it became a constant error. Mechanic performed diagnosis and reported that this error should be coupled with vehicle starting issues. The alarm was reset and came back within 48 hours. The vehicle had approximately 58K miles when the problem began. Honda Pilot forums indicate that this is a common problem with the 2016 Pilot. Owners have exhausted the root cause analysis (electronic switch replacement, ignition module replacement with dealerships). However, the problem does not always go away. My error appeared while starting the vehicle (stationary position).

The push button to start the button is very unreliable. I have you push the button dozens of times to get the vehicle to turn on or off. I also get a warning on the dash that says, "keyless start system problem"

- American Fork, UT, USA

Keyless start system problem appears when I start the car. The car still starts (for now at least) but I have discovered that this is a problem with Honda Pilot especially around the 33,000 to 38,000 miles. Honda does not seem to know what to do about this.

My car died on me at a stop sign with the idle start/stop feature with 50K miles on it on 12/3/2019. (one week prior, the 'emissions system problem' popped up.) I came to a stop at a very busy intersection. The idle start/stop kicked in. When I went to take my foot off the brake to hit the gas, my Pilot completely died on me. It wouldn't restart. My dash looked like a christmas tree with all the different lights/warnings popping up every time I would try to start it. My friend came to jump it & it would not start. After over 2.5 hours blocking traffic & 2 police officers having to direct traffic, while waiting for a tow truck, I finally got my car to the dealership. First day they said they had no clue what was wrong with it. 2nd day they called & said the problem was just a software update for the idle start/stop. They said it's a known issue & there is no recall & they are fixing them only as the issue presents itself. Forward to 2/21/2020. 'emissions system problem' pops up again. I drop my Pilot off at the dealership again on 2/24/2020. This time they say all my fuel injectors need to be replaced. The next day they call me again to say when they got in there, my seals were bad & they needed to replace those too. After 3 days, I got my Pilot back. Ever since I have had it back, my idle start/stop has acted like it wasn't going to come back on every time I drive it & I try to remember to turn it off when I get in my car. I go from the brake to the gas & it dings & then 'collision mitigation system problem' pops up & then goes away. 10/31/2020 died on me stopped at a red light again with the idle start/stop feature on. I had to call 911 & have it towed to the dealership again.

Since buying this vehicle the transmission and computer module have already been replaced once due to similar problem. While my son was driving around a corner on a city block so turning left at 15 miles per hour the transmission suffered a failure and error message and accelerated forcing him off the road. Dealer has denied any assistance.

- Santa Rosa, CA, USA

Part 35881-TG7-702 - the dashboard start button - is defective and no longer working consistently at 48,000 miles. I have to hit the start button multiple times for the car to start and once it starts I often get an error message ""keyless start system problem" when driving. I have researched this and it seems to be a very common problem - it should be a recall on this part, not a repair I have to pay for.

- Franklin Square, NY, USA

The biggest issue is a 'keyless start system' issue. Message is on dashboard constantly. Looking at complaint boards for 2016 Honda Pilot, I'm shocked this isn't a recall. Seems to be a common problem. And a worry that car will suddenly stop while on highway. Also the car has a constant 'rev, rev, rev' pulling at times while driving. Always an issue when behind someone and you worry it will rev and jump ahead and hit car in front of you. Took it into dealership and they supposedly fixed it but still not fixed. Again looking at boards, this seems to be an issue.

- Rogers, AR, USA

Keyless start system problem is showing in the instrument panel. I noticed lots of Honda Pilot owner are reporting the same issues. I am able to start the car and drive but I am afraid it may have to do with the engine being disabled so I will park it until there is a solution. This has to be a defect.
