At 38000 miles the push button start began acting erratically. When the car is parked and turned off it takes 5 or 6 pushes of the break with succeeding depressions of the push start for the engine to fire up. Once it does turn over, an error comes up for keyless ignition

I have a 2016 touring pilot with just over 38,000 miles. Since about 25,000 miles i have felt that there was an odd hesitation with the auto-off feature that i'd not noticed during the initial period of ownership. The issue escalated to the point which it would actually stall out at an intersection and the vehicle would not turn back on for a few minutes. The dealership replaced the battery and said that they could…

I have a "keyless start system problem" message on and off for about 4 or 5 months, started when i had 37000 or 38000 miles. Dealer will replace with only a 1 year warranty. Seems like this is a problem with many pilots at the same mileage. The error message appears when the suv is started. It stays on at all times. Then it will turn off after a week or so. Reappears after another week or so.

My 2016 honda pilot is showing the message on the dash which says that there is a problem with the keyless start system. It comes and goes from time to time, and i've changed the fob batteries with no fix. I had the vehicle back to the dealer and they said that the push button checked out ok, and suggested changing out the tpms/keyless access control unit as a possible fix. At $600.00 cost and maybe no fix, i'm not…

I receive a keyless start system problem error message that comes on when the car is started. I have changed the batteries in my remotes and sometimes the message goes away for a day or two. I have put a brand new battery in the car and the message went away for a day and then returned. The message comes and goes randomly.

My car intermittently gives me a warning about a "keyless start system problem," which began a couple of months ago. While i cannot detect any impact on the actual start or running of the vehicle, i'm concerned that the engine could cut out while driving which is obviously potentially unsafe or that the car won't start at some point and will leave me stranded. Because the indicator goes on and off, it's difficult to…

The first incident was on oct 7, 2018. We were at a stop light with the engine idle option enabled. When the light turned green and the brake was released, the vehicle should have started back up, but instead, it stalled. After the 2nd time it occurred, we started to disable the engine idle feature as soon as we start the car. We have forgotten a few times and the vehicle stalling has happened at least 3 additional…

I have been getting a keyless system start error upon starting my car since 32,000 miles. It has been intermittent and the local honda dealership has been unable to correct this issue. This issue has become less intermittent as time has gone on; meaning that the problem/error message is nearly constant. I have changed the battery in both keyless remotes, but this has not corrected the issue. The dealership has tried…
