Purchased a 2016 Pilot ex-L certified used with 8K. While pressing the brakes, they would go pretty far down before engaging. If I let up on the pedal and press again, they immediately grab like they are supposed. I have taken the vehicle in several times, brakes bled and flushed, still the same. I was informed that Honda says the distance of brake pedal pressing down is 2" is normal. I also had issues with the screen going out, and the driver side vent wouldn't stay up, and the A/C wasn't cooling property. Also the system wont connect to my phone randomly. I now had a problem with the transmission. Makes a rattling noise while driving/coasting at any speed. Have taken it in and was told it was the bumper and hood noise. After paying for that, I still have the noise. The rpms jumps from under 2 to just above two, then down again. When the rpms do this the noise happens and also the econo mode turns off to white, then green again. Now it feels like when this happens the transmission feels as iff it is trying to go into gear, slipping. Now when driving and trying to pass, it seems to slip. It is definitely a safety issue! come on Honda please fix the issues.

Keyless start system problem error. This error message pops up on the screen for weeks at a time and the disappears for awhile only to reappear. So far I haven't had a problem actually starting the vehicle. The problem is the switch assembly, engine start & stop - Honda (35881-TG7-A03). There are hundreds of complaints on the Honda Pilot problem forums, yet Honda does not recall the vehicles to resolve the problem. Instead the dealers charge ~ $150 to diagnose the problem and $300-400 to replace the unit. I watched a video of a handyman replace the unit in 7 minutes and he paid only $70 for the part. This is criminal behavior NY Honda and its dealers in my opinion. I will just fix it myself, but I shouldn't have to. Youtube video of problem and repair.

I and several other 2016 Honda Pilot owners have experienced the code about the auto start/stop function having a problem. I took it to the dealer and they blamed the issue on "critters, " as in rodents/squirrels. I assure you this is not the case! the light appeared while I was driving and it also affected my auto lock feature on the vehicle. This malfunction is a design flaw in the 2016 Pilot. The dealer told me they could troubleshoot where the malfunction is but it would cost me, starting at $150. The mechanic reset the code (for $65) and it has not shown up in the past week since I took it in. I am very unhappy with this issue and Honda should make this a recall. This is an electrical issue and could result in an accident or safety issue.

Faulty start/stop switch-basic internet search reflects that this is a recurring issue with 2016 Honda Pilot. The vehicle shuts off when the brake is depressed and may not restart due to faulty switch. We had to replace switch at a cost of $299.13. There should be a recall as this is a recurring issue with these vehicles.

Check engine light is illuminated along with AWD, keyless start system, emissions system, uphill start, trailer assistance, etc. Have had two engine coils replaced and a software upgrade. The lights go off for a couple of days and then return. Have spent $250 in diagnostics and nothing is fixed. Replaced batteries in both key fobs.

After 4 years and 53,000 miles, we're now getting a keyless start system error while shutting off or turning on the vehicle while stopped. Apparently this is a common problem with this generation Pilot and ridgeline vehicles, according to vehicle owners at piloteers.org, the problem usually is a failing push-to-start button. So far, our vehicle starts, but the walk-away locking system no longer works. Others have reported security system alarms, dashboard malfunction, and a failure to start.

The car engine/battery shuts off at stop lights and red lights when you take your foot off the break pedal. This same issue occurred a year ago. Honda initially told us that there was no issue with the vehicle and until we pressed about finding a known issue reported online they said there was nothing wrong. Eventually a regional service rep was involved who said the issue was known and was with the battery. The battery was replaced and for one year had been okay until two weeks ago when same issue began occurring again. This is a major safety issue with the vehicle turning off. I have two young children I have to drive around and do not feel safe in the vehicle while this is happening. I am now waiting on a repeat service visit on October 8, 2020 to address the issue this year.

My Pilot has a message that reads "keyless start system problem." I have changed the battery in the phone and replaced the push button start assembly. Nothing has removed the message. I have searched Honda Pilot forums and found hundreds who have the same problem. I have found that no dealership has fixed the problem. Most have spent $500 + at dealerships with no results.my message stays on all the time. Honda should find out what is wrong and recall on effected cars to correct the problem.

The keyless start system problem light has come on and the dealership finds no codes to resolve the issue. The auto engine shutoff to conserve gas when the bake is depressed will completely shut off the car and I am not able to start the car again. This has happened many time from driving on the highway and stopping in traffic to being in the city stopping at a red light. It can take up to a minute or more to get the car to start again. The only way to disable this from happening is to manually shut off this feature every time I start the vehicle.
