2019 Honda Pilot Complaint Log

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL (INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER) WILL SHUT OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES, AND THE REBOOT. THIS RESULT IN THE INABILITY TO TELL EXACTLY HOW FAST THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THIS WILL OCCUR UNDER MULTIPLE CONDITIONS WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE, AND IS NOT DEPENDENT ON THE TYPE OF ROAD BEING DRIVEN ON. ADDITIONALLY, THE CENTER CONSOLE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN, WHICH ALSO SERVES AS THE SCREEN FOR THE BACK UP CAMERA WILL SHUT OFF, FOR VARYING AMOUNTS OF TIME, RENDERING THE ABILITY TO SEE/USE THE BACK UP CAMERA USELESS. I HAVE ENCOUNTERED, ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, BOTH SYSTEMS SHUTTING OFF AT THE SAME TIME, WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, LEAVING ME WITH THE UNABLE TO SAFELY GAUGE HOW I AM OPERATING THE VEHICLE.

"TAKATA RECALL' CRACKING NOISE THROUGHOUT VEHICLE STARTED A MONTH INTO OWNING THE CAR. SLOWLY THE SYSTEM STARTED TO FAIL PHONE WOULD WORK RADIO WOULDN'T WORK SCREENS WOULD GO OFF AND ON AND FINALLY THE SCREEN WENT BLACK AND NEVER RECOVERED. THEY PUT NEW DRIVER INTERFACE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL AND IT STILL DIDN'T WORK SO HONDA CHANGED THE WIRING HARNESSES INFLOWTAINMENT SYSTEM. IT NOW BACK IN THE SERVICE BC STILL NOT WORKING. VEHICLE IN MOTION. DOESN'T MATTER IF IT MOVING GOING FAST OR SLOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA PILOT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT APPROACHED IT AND FOUND THAT THE WINDOWS AND SUN ROOF WERE DOWN WITHOUT BEING ACTIVATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT, IN THE PAST, THE HATCH DID NOT GO ALL THE WAY UP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILLY CRAFT HONDA (434-385-6045, LOCATED AT 3914 OLD FOREST RD, LYNCHBURG, VA 24501), BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,500.

FOR THE FIRST TEN MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING A BRAND NEW 2019 HONDA PILOT TOURING I WAS TREATED AS ONE OF HONDA'S GUINEA PIGS. I WAS PUTTING MY FAMILY'S LIVES AT INCREASED RISK, LOSING TIME AT WORK AND GOING THROUGH IMMENSE STRESS WHILE HONDA ATTEMPTED TO SOLVE A MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. THROUGH MY EXTENSIVE PROACTIVE EFFORTS AND NUMEROUS TIMES LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE DEALER A SOLUTION WAS EVENTUALLY FOUND. AFTER THE FINAL REPAIR WAS COMPLETED IT BECAME APPARENT THE EXTENT OF THE IMPACT THE FAULTY WIRING HAD ON THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY AND FUNCTION. AFTER THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE WAS CORRECTED THE OVERALL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE WAS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT THAN THE DAY THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. NO MORE NEAR ACCIDENT CAUSING FALSE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING OCCURRENCES. NO MORE CRUISE CONTROL AND LANE ASSIST MALFUNCTIONS, RANDOM LOSS OF THE SPEEDOMETER AND BACKUP CAMERA OR OTHER FREQUENTLY EXPERIENCED SAFETY ISSUES. NO MORE UNUSABLE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. IT WAS EXTREMELY APPARENT THE IMPACTS OF THE FAULTY WIRING WERE WIDE SPREAD IN THE VEHICLE AS SOLD. THE FIRST TEN MONTHS THAT MY WIFE, TWO CHILDREN AND I USED THE VEHICLE AS OUR MAIN SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION, WHILE HONDA ATTEMPTED TO SOLVE THE ISSUE, IT WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED AND ADVERTISED OR UP TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION STANDARDS.

RECURRENT PROBLEM. STARTED WHEN VEHICLE WAS 2 MONTHS OLD. TAKEN CAR TO DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. NO SOLUTION. WHEN IN MOTION (HIGHWAYS, CITY ROADS) SPEAKERS MAKE A SPARKLING SOUND FOLLOWED BY THE ENTERTAINMENT SCREEN ( NAVIGATION, HANDHELD PHONE, REAR VISION...) AND THE ODOMETER SCREEN (SPEED DISPLAY, ALL THE SIGNALS) BECAME DEAD. IT COULD LAST FEW SECONDS AND REBOOT BACK OR UP TO 30 MINUTES. IN A 15 MILE JOURNEY , COULD HAPPEN AROUND 15 TIMES. SO THE DANGEROUS SITUATION IS THAT I AM DRIVING WITH NO IDEA HOW MUCH SPEED I AM GOING, I AM NOT ABLE TO USE MY HANDHELD PHONE (ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AS A BUSY DOCTOR TRYING TO ANSWER EMERGENCY CALLS), NO NAVIGATION SYSTEM AVAILABLE, THE REAR VISION CAMERA BECOMES USELESS WITH A BLANK SCREEN... I LEARNT FROM THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND NO SOLUTION HAVE BEEN FOUND. PROBLEM HAPPENS IN MOTION AND ALSO OR WHEN CAR IS PARKED. MY CAR IS 4 MONTHS OLD AND HAS SPENT SEVERAL DAYS AT THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND AT THE LAST VISIT I WAS GIVEN A REPORT IN WHICH STATES THAT HONDA IS STUDYING A NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE. I DON'T WANT RISK MY FAMILY OR OTHERS LIFE'S SO WAITING IS NOT AN OPTION. THIS IS NOT JUST ONE INCIDENT , IT KEEPS RECURRING WE BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW FROM THE HONDA DEALER IN NOVEMBER 2018. I HAVE VIDEOS TO PROVIDE PROOF (CAN NOT ATTACH THEM)

I PURCHASED A NEW 2019 HONDA PILOT EX-L IN DECEMBER, 2018. I WAS RECENTLY EXITING AN OFF RAMP FROM AN INTERSTATE AND WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE HESITATED SIGNIFICANTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I THEN CONTINUED A FEW MILES WHICH I HAD REMAINING TO MY HOUSE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE VERY POORLY AND THE ENGINE WOULD SHAKE UNDER ACCELERATION. THE MANUAL STATES THAT A FLASHING LIGHT IS AN ENGINE MISFIRE. I STARTED THE VEHICLE ON MONDAY MORNING TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND IT DROVE NORMALLY DOWN TO THE DEALER. AFTER CHECKING THE ENGINE COMPUTER THEY COULD FIND NO FAULT CODES FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING THE DAY BEFORE. THEY GAVE ME BACK THE VEHICLE AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AT THIS TIME. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS THAT A FEW OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. HAVING A VEHICLE THAT LOSES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF POWER CAN BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I HIGHLY SUGGEST THAT HONDA LOOK INTO THIS MATTER CAREFULLY. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH 2,200 MILES OR ANY VEHICLE FOR THAT MATTER.

WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NEEDED SUDDENLY THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL IS TO EXCESSIVE. THE BRAKES ARE SLOW TO RESPOND AS IF THEY ARE NOT WORKING AND THEN THEY GRAB SUDDENLY WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS VERY UNNERVING AS YOU THINK YOU ARE LOOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR. NORMALLY I HAVE TO TAP THE BRAKE PEDAL LET OFF AND GET BACK ON THE BRAKE PEDAL QUICKLY FOR THE BRAKES TO RESPOND NORMALLY OR HAVE A GOOD BRAKE PEDAL FEEL. I AM GETTING TIRED OF DOING THIS EVERY TIME TO STOP THE VEHICLE. HONDA CANNOT BE SERIOUS THAT THIS IS NORMAL. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2019. AROUND MARCH 2019 THE SPEAKERS BEGAN TO MAKE CRACKLING AND POPPING NOISES AT RANDOM TIMES - BUT COULD RELIABLY BE REPRODUCED WHEN LOCKING THE DOORS. SOON THEREAFTER, THE MAIN DISPLAY WOULD INFREQUENTLY POP AND GO BLACK, THEN COME BACK ON. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO OUR DEALER IN JUNE 2019, OBTAINED A LOANER, AND AFTER THE FIRST DAY, THE DEALER CALLED AND SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE AND WANTED TO KEEP IT LONGER. ON THE THIRD DAY, I PICKED THE CAR UP AND RETURNED THE LOANER AS WE HAD TO TRAVEL. THE DEALER SAID THEY STILL COULD NOT REPLICATE AND THAT THE ANY NOISE HAPPENING WHEN THE DOORS LOCKED WAS NORMAL. SINCE JUNE 2016, THE CRACKLING AND POPPING CONTINUES, THE BLACK OUT CONTINUES AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THE NOISE HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON ALL KINDS OF STREETS AND SPEEDS. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE PHONE IS CONNECTED VIA BLUETOOTH AND WHEN IT IS NOT. IT ALSO SEEMS TO BE MORE VIOLENT WHEN AT LARGER INTERSECTIONS (I.E. LOUD POPS AND BLACK SCREEN HAS BEEN NOTED WHEN AT LARGE TRAFFIC LIGHT INTERSECTIONS AND ON FREEWAYS WITH OVERHEAD SIGNS THAT MAY CONTAIN A RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMITTER). THE BLACK SCREEN HAPPENS WHEN USING THE NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM AND DIRECTIONS ARE LOST, IT ALSO IS VERY DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER AS IT CAN BE QUITE LOUD AND SUDDEN.

THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE. SEEMS TO BE WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL FOR OVER 1.25 HRS. WHEN YOU PRESS THE CANCEL BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO CANCEL THE SET CRUISE CONTROL, THE CARS "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT STARTS FLASHING. THE ENGINE WILL CONTINUE RUNNING BUT THERE IS LITTLE TO NO POWER WHEN STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR. DRIVER MUST PULL OVER, TURN OFF CAR AND THEN RESTART. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AT HIGH SPEEDS OR CROSSING OVER ONCOMING TRAFFIC! I BROUGHT THE HONDA PILOT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT BOTH HE AND THE DISTRICT REP. HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM LAST MONTH WITH THEIR 2019 HONDA PILOT. NEITHER OF THEM HAD ANY ADVICE FOR ME. BUT THEY WERE NOTABLY QUITE WORRIED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES OF THIS AND IMMEDIATELY ASKED TO HOOK A COMPUTER UP TO MY CAR TO TRY TO FIND AN ERROR CODE. THEY FOUND NONE! AGAIN, INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS!!! APPARENTLY THE HONDA ENGINEERS AREN'T AWARE OF WHY THIS IS HAPPENING! I WAS TOLD TO "JUST KEEP DRIVING IT" WE CAN'T HAVE THE ONLY THREE 2019 HONDA PILOTS THAT ARE DOING THIS...... I FEAR SOMEONE WILL GET INJURED.

AT ABOUT 300 MILES ENTIRE DISPLAY DOES NOT WORK ON COLD START AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY. SCREEN FLASHES BLUE AND THEN ACTIVATES, HOWEVER DOES NOT REMAIN ON. NO REAR VIEW CAMERA, NAVIGATION, OR OTHER APPS AVAILABLE TO THE DRIVER. SCREEN FLASHES WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND DISTRACTION. REAR VIEW CAMERA NON-OPERATION IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE UNABLE TO VIEW CHILDREN AS THEY CROSS BEHIND THE VEHICLE.

THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR WON'T STAY AT THE PROPER ADJUSTMENT. YOU SET IT AND IT DROPS IN A FEW MINUTES SO YOU CAN'T SEE THE CARS BEHIND YOU. WHEN YOU DRIVE YOU HAVE TO KEEP ADJUSTING THE MIRROR. IT'S A SMALL PROBLEM BUT COULD BE A BIG PROBLEM IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT.

THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AND BACK-UP CAMERA DOESN'T WORK. THE ENTIRE SYSTEM CONCERNING THE SAFETY FEATURES DOESN'T WORK WHEN THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS. WE HAVE TAKEN OUR CAR TO HAVE THE ISSUE REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT NOTHING THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE HAS PROVIDED A PERMANENT FIX. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY WHETHER THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOVEMENT. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR IN JANUARY 2019.

Rear view camera safety issue! 2019 Honda Pilot EX If a pedestrian is standing still, sitting even had a person walking behind car while backing up the car the camera will not warn you at all. I can't believe Honda has not done anything to fix this problem! I had at the dealership and they told me that you have to have a more expensive model or have an add on for $1000-1500. I don't think they care about anything but more money! Please look into this life threatening issue. Thanks

Between gears 4 to 5 and 5 to 4 the transmission can jerk suddenly, and cause a "clapping" noise from the transmission. As a consumer, I would not expect this to be customary for a new car (it has happened since we bought the car new in Dec 2018). The dealership could not identify an issue with no MIL or thrown code. It is concerning for the life of the transmission given the aggressive shift between these gears.

THE VEHICLE WAS ADVERTISED WITH 'LED' LOW BEAM LIGHTS. IT HAS HALOGEN.

STARTED SEEING THIS PROBLEM FROM DAY 1. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. YOU HAVE TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES REALLY HARD TO GET ANY KIND OF DECENT STOPPING. SEEMS LIKE THE BRAKE CYLINDER HAS NO PRESSURE OR LEAKING. BRAKES ARE TOO SOFT AND THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO GET ANY DECENT BRAKING. EVEN AT THE STOP LIGHTS, YOU HAVE TO KEEP A VERY HIGH PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MAKE SURE THE CAR DOESN'T START MOVING AND SLAM INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY APPLY A HIGH PRESSURE, I'VE DEVELOPED SCIATICA NERVE PAIN IN MY RIGHT LEG. I'VE SHOWN THIS TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP BUT THE USUAL ANSWER IS THIS IS HOW IT IS. I HAVE A HONDA CIVIC BUT THE BRAKES ARE PROPERLY TIGHTENED ON IT AND I'VE DRIVEN 10 HOURS WITHOUT ANY FATIGUE TO MY SCIATICA, BUT ON THIS CAR, 30 MINUTES DRIVING STARTS AGGRAVATING MY SCIATICA NERVE. HONDA .... PLEASE FIX THIS BEFORE IT GET OUT OF HAND. IT WILL NOT GET ANY BETTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE BRAKE SENSOR ACTIVATED AND SOUNDED A WARNING BEEPING. ERRONEOUSLY, WHICH SIGNALED THE CONTACT TO BRAKE. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE SENOR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT NOTIFIFED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. *BF DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. THE SALES REP TOLD ME THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THIS ISSUE TOO AND THAT THERE WILL PROBABLY BE AN UPDATE TO THE CAR'S SOFTWARE AT SOME PAINT IN THE FUTURE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING, BOTH HIGHWAY AND AROUND TOWN, LOUD CRACKLING WOULD OCCUR THROUGH THE SPEAKERS. THEN BOTH THE NAVIGATION SCREEN AND/OR THE SPEEDOMETER SCREEN WOULD GO COMPLETELY BLACK. THE MESSAGE "NETWORK CONNECTION LOST" WOULD SOMETIMES APPEAR. ALL BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY AND SPEAKER USAGE WAS LOST. THIS OCCURS ALMOST EVERY DAY WHILE COMMUTING. CAR HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO HONDA SERVICE TWICE FOR REPAIRS.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TOTALLY INADEQUATE. LOW BEAMS ILLUMINATE ROAD ONLY DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF VEHICLE AND NOT ENOUGH FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING AN UNSAFE CONDITION OF “OVER DRIVING” THE HEADLIGHTS.

BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY SLOW TO REACT AND VERY MUSHEY WHEN THEY DO. HOLDING THE BRKE PEDEL HARD TAKES THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. WHEN SERVICE REP WAS ASKED TO ADJUST, THEY STATED, ALL PILOTS ARE LIKE THIS. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WATING TO HPEN.

OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT MOTION OF THE POWER TAILGATE CAN BE STOPPED BY PRESSING ANY TAILGATE BUTTON. "IF YOU PRESS THE BUTTON AGAIN WHILE THE POWER TAILGATE IS MOVING, IT WILL STOP." (PAGES FROM MANUAL ATTACHED AS PDF.) DEALER ALSO TOLD ME THIS. THIS IS A LIE. THE TAILGATE DOES NOT STOP UNTIL IT REACHES THE FULL UPWARD POSITION, OR UNTIL ITS UPWARD MOTION HITS AN OBSTACLE (E.G. GARAGE DOOR) AND REVERSES DIRECTION. HONDA LIED. AFTER COMPLAINING TO DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE WAS REMOVED FROM THE 2019 PILOT; YET IT IS IN THE MANUAL MULTILE TIMES ON MULTIPLE PAGES. CONSEQUENTLY, THE VEHICLE IS USELESS TO ME; I CANNOT USE THE POWER TAILGATE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I WANT HONDA TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE FROM ME OR ISSUE A FIRMWARE UPDATE THAT RESTORES THIS SAFETY FEATURE.

The car is equipped with a stop-start system that is supposed to shut off the engine when you stop (eg at a red light) and restart almost instantly when you lift the foot off the brake. The restart feature fails somewhat regularly, maybe about 5% of the time. It has happened for many years, and with increasing frequency as the car is getting older. Sometimes the restart has trouble, the car misfires a moment, but then the engine restarts, sometimes a bunch of unrelated warnings sound when this happens, the car reporting that the collision avoidance systems are now offline or similar. Sometimes the engine completely stalls and does not come back online at all; when this happens, getting it restarted generally means putting it in park, turning the car completely off, then starting it again, a process that takes 10-15 seconds. When this happens at an isolated stop sign it is annoying; it has also happened on a highway exit ramp with traffic going around our disabled vehicle. Various Honda dealers have inspected and maintained the vehicle, and none have detected anything wrong to explain this behavior. The problem is intermittent and thus hard to reproduce on demand.

we have consistently experienced engine rough-idle issues.
