I keep receiving a code that states "keyless start system problem". Honda dealership states they reset computer but problem continues to show every time i start vehicle. Apparently they either can't fix it or they don't know how to fix it. Had problem for approximately 2 months.

When trying to start vehicle you receive 'keyless start system problem'. Taken to the dealer twice and not able to diagnose the issue. Vehicle has 49000 miles today and have had this intermittent issue since 42000 miles. Fob batteries have both been replaced and supposedly reprogrammed. Still unable to resolve. Let me know if and how you were able to resolve the issue.

***auto idle stop malfunction** while in moving traffic on a highway in northern virginia, the pilot has stalled and even powered off while the auto idle stop function was engaged. The car powered down and required a re-start which needed multiple attempts to actually take effect (up to 20 seconds-multiple attempts). The dealership has no solution to offer and honda has no recall available to cover the issue. This…

My wife was driving down the freeway at 70 mph and heard a big pop (sounded like a gun shot). The weather conditions were perfect and the road itself is very smooth. So my wife pulled over and saw that her sun roof had exploded. So i asked if anything hit the sunroof and she said no. So i looked at the sun roof when she got home and it was shattered from corner to corner. No way a rock or flying debris could cause…

The message "keyless start system problem" showed up in the information screen about a few weeks ago, it would come up intermittently, whenever i start the engine, and the message stays on the entire time the engine is runnning. When the engine is shut off, there will be a ding, and the message will stay on for a few minutes before going away. I took it to the local dealership, they had not encountered a message…

About 4 months ago i was at a stoplight, my engine shut down, as it was supposed to with the 'auto idle stop' function. It is supposed to start back up when you take your foot off the brake, but this time the car stalled. It stalled many times after this and it was always unexpected and scary. I took it into my dealer on june 6, 2018 and they said they could see that they could see in the computer that it stalled a…

Unfortunately, when it happens i can't take the car in because i'm at work and when i do take it in it doesn't happen. This happens randomly when i drive. Doesn't matter what speed i drive at. I was able to record it when it happened and brought it in to the mechanic but…

First: the eight inch touch screen, like in many new cars is, as installed, a continuous, distracted driving hazard. For any driver to use it at all while in motion means one must glace away from the road! In this car, the combination of having to use this with no alternate controls like a volume control means trouble. Additionally, no provision seems to be available for the bright screen to automatically dim the…
