    While driving, i received an alert that "some driver assist systems cannot operate." lights indicated that the collision mitigation, and lane departure, and lights were affected. I do not want the collision mitigation system to randomly disable (or any system for that matter). The dealer performed a hard reset on my system and we'll see if it's fixed. Still, it posed a hazard to me at the time.

    Upon exiting stop/start events(auto shut off at stop signs/lights/parking lots), engine does not restart. Instead, it shifts into park, lights up all instruments on display panel, and requires a manual restart. Vehicle is dead until restarted, posing a hazard to occupants/oncoming traffic. Has happened multiple times in past weeks. We also have read of many other owners of '16/'17 honda pilot owners having the exact…

    Huge/loud pop of radio, car doesn't beep, is still in drive, but is dead when: stopped but not sure that autostart is on' both times this horrible one happened, it was a very brief press on the breaks (11/5: on freeway; 11/6: at stop sign). Screens on dash popped loudly, and suddenly engine was dead. C.situation: this was not a full autostop issue, so there wasn't any expectation that it was going to restart, rather…

    The blue tooth features are not reliable. The feature that allows me to verbally tell the car to call someone is not consistently responsive. When i make a call from my phone, the car doesn't always pick it up. Incoming calls consistently come in correctly. I called van's honda in green bay wisconsin and was told that this is not an issue with the honda and they recommended that i call the cell phone provider. They…

    Have a 2017 honda pilot touring with 39k miles. Usually the car goes into 'accessory' mode when the auto idle stop kicks in but a couple of months ago something new started- i experienced a total stall for the first time, and it has happened 3 more times since. The car turned completely off, but it did not restart automatically. The dashboard was lit up with problems. I put the car in park and frantically tried to…

As she attempted to pull over to the side of the road, the issue reset itself, and the vehicle resumed power again.

    This is the 4th time now that we have had to bring out pilot in to be serviced for the same thing. When we turn the car on, multiple errors come on out of nowhere. Power steering, the speedometer and many other things stop working. They reset it and it happens again. They have changed the battery and done something with the alternator but neither of these things fixed the actual problem.
