At ~30K miles, the keyless start system periodically fails - issuing a warning (audible & visual) when starting/turning off the car. The visual warning persist while driving. This system also results in a failure of the walk-away lock feature. The issue isn't apparently tied to the car's battery or the key fob. There is no pattern to when this issue will occur.

'keyless remote start problem' keeps appearing on my dashboard. Is inconsistent and does not have any pattern to turning on. It will turn off on its own as well. Longest amount of time it has lasted is 24- 48 hours without turning off. I have changed the batteries in the key fob

I keep getting 'keyless start system problem' error when I push start my engine. The car still drives but I am worried it will not detect the key and stop driving one of these days without warning or engine won't start without any warning. I have changed battery for my key, it does this to both of my car keys, and it doesn't happen all the time but more than half of the time I start the engine. Upon investigating online forums, others have this problem and have tried to fix it by going to dealership to replace internal units, changing car battery, resetting the internal unit, changing the push start button, etc., but the problem comes back. So I am hesitant to spend money on something that won't be fixed. I made appointment to fix it dealership and that whole day the error message did not pop up, but the very next day it came back. I hope this isn't some electrical issue...

Factory stereo. I had brought my car to lia Honda in enfield to see why the factory radio works for everything but the sirius xm radio. They told me it would need a new antenna after having the car for three days and not knowing what was wrong. Car has 58827 miles on it and is a 2016. They want to charge me 750 dollars to replace my antenna.

I bought this vehicle as a "certified pre owned by Honda" and four days after the purchase the car was parked in my driveway, in "park" when I hit the start/stop engine button and the vehicle didn't start. Alarms started to go off so I assumed it was the key was still inside the house. As I went inside to check, maybe a few seconds, when I went back outside the vehicle was gone. I found it in my front yard. It had rolled off while in park without engine on. After getting it towed to Honda, days later I was informed that there was a problem with the start/stop engine system and that it also needed the entire A/C system replaced. Attached you will find the photo I took of the vehicle still in park when I found it in my front yard.

Auto start button failure. Just happened to me at 36,000 miles. Did some research and it seems quite common. There also seems to be no permanent fix. Will think twice before purchasing another Honda.

My car keeps displaying 'key start system problem' it comes on and off. Sometimes for a week or just a few days. I have now taken to the dealership twice and they can not figure out why it comes on then turns off. This last time lasted a week and it felt like my car was struggling to move when I accelerated. This is consistent problem with the Honda Pilot. I checked online and other customers are experiencing the same problem, they tried replacing the push to start button, key batteries and the harness. This happens when I start my car only, I have not made any alterations to my vehicle. I just got my car in April of this year.

While my vehicle was sitting in my employer's parking lot, the rear/back window shattered into a million pieces. After researching, it appears that this is an issue. We have been having extremely warm temperatures lately so I am not sure if that is a contributing factor. Either way it is very frustrating to come out to your vehicle and not have a rear window.

My sunroof glass shattered today while waiting to exit a parking lot. The sunshade was closed so no glass shards fell into the car. We were moving at or under 5mph on level ground. The temperature was in the high 80S with clear skies and bright sun here in rockland county NY, today July 7th 2019. The glass was not struck by a stone or debris, this was most likely a defect in the glass.

The keyless start system error has come on recently and goes on and off intermittently. I have changed the battery in the key fobs and the error still comes up. After researching the problem I have learned that several other people have had this problem and in a lot of cases the vehicle will shut down during operation due to the problem. This is a major manufacturer defect that could lead to great bodily injury and /or death. This problem needs to be investigated and and remedied. There have been several complaints through NHTSA about this same problem.
