There were no cars in front of us for at least a mile. All the sudden,…

While driving on the highway, i adjusted the radio volume. It instantly went to the maximum volume, and all controls to adjust the volume became inactive. The radio was so loud i feared my speakers would blow or my ears would be damaged. Unable to turn the radio off, i pulled off the road and shut off the engine. An online search revealed that others have experienced the same problem. There appears to be a software…

When the rear tailgate is opened electronically, the tailgate opens completely and then immediately begins the closing process (beeps and then closes). It can be stopped manually otherwise it will finish the closing process. If you stop it manually, the electronic closing system (button on door, key fob or button by driver seat) is disabled. Dealer has replaced the control unit but that did not fix the problem. We…

As i was driving 65 mph on the freeway one night the engine suddenly started revving up super high and the car began slowing down. It was quite frightening. Because it was dark, it took a minute to identify the problem- that the car slipped into neutral. I slid the stick back to drive and resumed my commute. I didn't intentionally switch gears but accidentally (slightly) bumped the gear shift into neutral. Turns out…

This is a follow up to complaint 10881962 in which one of my fears has come to fruition. I was driving my car in the normal mode (acc and lkas disabled) on a normal two lane paved road when the car in front of me made a slow right turn. I was not following very closely and came to a complete stop on my own to avoid running into the other car. I stopped about 15 feet away from the other car. The other car then…

Navigational System(Global Positioning System) · Unknown Or Other
I had a 2014 pilot. The navigation worked great. Now i own a 2016 pilot and most of the navigation system is locked out while driving. I now have to pull over in the city or interstate to make changes--both dangerous. As a result, i am now using my iphone for navigation which defeats the purpose of the car navigation system and is much more dangerous. The honda dealer indicated your agency has required these…

Unsatisfactory transmission shifting since new (2-2016). Learching, searching for gears, slack in shifting from stop. Honda says its normal. That insults my intelligence. Poor design and failure to admit there is an issue. Less than 17,000 miles on vehicle as of this date (1-23-2018)

The car was completely out of the garage, but not far from it. No one was around the car. My husband was…
