Persistent keyless start system problem and auto lock feature has stopped working.

- Goodyear, AZ, USA

Problem with the auto stop/start feature- the engine stops but doesn't always start. It tries to start but doesn't. pressing the start button (ignition) doesn't always work right away. Seams you have to put the transmission in park, and press the start button (sometimes 4-5 times) before the engine starts. This is nerve racking and dangerous when you are in traffic- say at a light, or trying to cross over oncoming traffic. The time is takes sometimes to re-start the engine is about 10-15 seconds. This problem is intermittent. (doesn't always happen). It's not the battery. I had a new battery replacement. I also tried using a trickle charger to "top off" the battery incase it wasn't fully charged. No luck.

When I push the keyless start/stop button I get an error that reads keyless start system problem. This problem started about a year ago. At first the error only appeared every now and then. Now it appears almost all the time. I have to push the button, sometimes 8 times to get the car to start. Now when I push the button to shut off the car, sometimes it won't shut off the car. Sometimes I have to push the button 2 or 3 times. This is a systemic problem. Many people have this problem. From the blogs I read, Honda charges unreasonable amounts to troubleshoot the problem and often it is not resolved. The vehicle is stationary when this problem resolves. When I get it to start the error message remains while driving it.

At a stop light my auto idle-off is engaged (engine goes off), but when trying to accelerate, the engine does not restart and engine goes into neutral. I needed to turn the car completely off and then restart the car. This is extremely dangerous, as cars are expecting me to move. I almost got rear ended!

Honda Pilot ex-L jerks and engine slows on acceleration, rough shifting between speeds always on incline and sometimes on freeway and around town. Overheats while waiting in traffic, makes loud noise. Many other complaints about this same problem have been found. The Honda service dept. Claims no knowledge of the problem on my vehicle model. It is growing worse and happens on the freeway also. I'm concerned for the safety of my family.

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. I was told by dealership to replace the start/stop button for $375. Dealership also recommended replacing fuel injectors for $1600.no guarantee that this will fix any of the issues.

Engine light stays on and says emissions system problem. Keyless start system problem. Everything works and runs fine but these lights say on my dash.

I have been driving my car like this for over a year now.

Intermittently receive dash error code "'keyless start system problem ' " it comes and goes. Also vehicle struggles to restart when the a engine idle engages at a stop light. This has created safety issues in the winter when I can't go at a green light or others aren't paying attention and my vehicle won't start. There is no way to fully deactivate this feature except to shut it off after turning in car every time. This is a safety issue that seriously need to be addressed.

I have a 2016 touring model. I purchased it used from gladstone Honda (now swickard) in 2017. In 2018 my battery suddenly died during errands. I had the car jumped and replaced the battery from a local auto supply store. Last year, we started hearing an occasional weird clicking during idle-stop. Now, this year, when in idle-stop at a stop sign or stop light, often the car shuts off, slips into park mode, flashes error messages and will not immediately start again when pushing the ignition button. Sometimes, I have been on a hill and the car rolls backwards. There is no way to permanently disable this feature, so unless you remember to disable it every time you start the car, the safety malfunction repeats itself. It's terrifying and dangerous.
