The car is around 58k. The keyless start system problem message is displayed. I replaced and all batteries of the fob and reset every thing to the factory setting, but problem still persists and the walk away auto lock is also no longer functioning after the keyless start system problem message was displayed.

Keyless remote system issue, apparently this is a very common issue with these vehicles after 36,000 miles. I'm unsure if the error will cause the car to just shut off while driving in traffic or make it just not start when i try to start it. This appears to be an issue that should have been addressed via a recall if the issue is this common. There is no option with this vehicle to actually use a key to start it, it…

A second error message and the engine light came on, stating "emmisions system problem" my mechanic followed the honda troubleshoot recommendation instruction sheet, and removed the diagnostic code, but two days later the errors reappeared. Upon taking the car to…

Intermittent 'keyless start system problem'. It's very concerning and whenever i bring my car to the shop they seem to have never heard of this issues before. Car works, but it is scary to wonder if my car will suddenly turn off or not turn on. Please have this investigated.

Keyless start system problem error message in the instrument cluster. "walk away lock feature" stopped working. When i get out of the car, the car beeps once, but the locks never "lock". I have tried both fobs and the same thing. All i get is one beep, no matter what i do. Car will start and run.

Right before it's turned on and while driving. I get an error message saying "keyless start system problem". Then vehicle will sometimes not turn on randomly. Have not taken the vehicle in for repair because i did much research and many people have taken their 2016 pilot to the dealer and after spending money, the dealer could not fix it.

This vehicle is equipped with an auto engine idle feature that idles the engine when you come to a stop. Sometimes the engine idle coincides with the moment that you would accelerate to continue going forward, and the engine stalls completely. This requires the vehicle to shut down and restart. It has happened to me on several occasions after i have started to accelerate with people behind me. Fortunately the…

I have a 2016 honda pilot with 41k miles on it and out of the blue a light came on saying there's a "keyless remote system problem" checking online and it seems to be a issue with the majority of this model and around the same mileage. Some owners can't start their car and the honda dealer has no answer. They charge you about 200 to try and diagnose.

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…

An error with the "keyless start system" keeps re-occurring. An error code "keyless start system problem" shows up. Took it to the dealer and they re-set the computer (for a price), but error code returned 24 hours later. Did a google search and this seems to be a common issue with 2016 honda pilots.

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.

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.

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…

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…
