STARTING AT ABOUT 500 MILES, A CRACKLING NOISE WOULD PROPAGATE THROUGH THE SPEAKERS AND THE INFOTAINMENT AND REARVIEW CAMERA WOULD SHUT OFF. TOOK THE CAR FOR SERVICE AND THE FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW HUNDRED MILES WHEN IT CAME BACK MUCH MORE SEVERE. STEPPING ON THE GAS, OR BUMPS WOULD PRODUCE ERRATIC ISSUES, NOT ONLY FREEZING THE INFOTAINMENT ALONG WITH INTENSE CRACKLING NOISES, BUT ALSO, BRAKING ON ITS OWN. TOOK THE CAR TO BACK FOR SERVICE AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE BRAKING ON ITS OWN ISSUE. NOT UNSURPRISING BECAUSE THE PATTERN OF PROBLEMS IS RANDOM. SERVICE AT LEAST ADMITTED THE INFOTAINMENT ISSUES AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HONDA IS WORKING ON A REPAIR INVOLVING REPLACEMENT OF THE HARNESS. THEY WANTED TO REPLACE THE INFOTAINMENT UNIT BUT THE PART WOULD NOT BE IN STOCK FOR ALMOST 4 WEEKS. THE PROBLEMS HAVE ONLY WORSENED SINCE AND NOW BLACKING OUT OF THE SPEEDOMETER IS THE LATEST SAFETY ISSUE. CALLED HONDA AND ASKED TO HAVE THE CAR REPLACED, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT I AM A LIAR AND THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN SERVICED ONCE YET. THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE PROVIDED THE MOST DISGUSTING CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED DENYING THE ISSUES AND TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NO SAFETY ISSUE AND BASICALLY IMPLYING THAT THE INFOTAINMENT PROBLEM ALMOST DOES NOT EXIST. HE LIED TELLING ME THAT HONDA IS NOT WORKING ON ANY PERMANENT FIX, AS ACCORDING TO HIM THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM. DEALER AND SERVICE EMPLOYEES ALL KNOW THE PROBLEM, BUT HONDA BELIEVES THAT ITS CUSTOMERS ARE IDIOTS WITH ZERO INTELLIGENCE. MADE ME REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF USING A LAWYER AND PARTICIPATING IN CLASS ACTIONS, AS THE ONLY WAY HONDA WILL RESPOND TO THE "ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM" IS THROUGH LEGAL ACTION. I ALSO HOPE NHTSA WILL ACT QUICKLY ON THIS VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM AND FORCE A SOLUTION.

SINCE I HAVE LEASED THE VEHICLE, THE COLLISION MITIGATION BREAKING SYSTEM IS COMING ON WHEN NOT NEEDED, AT TIMES DURING HIGHWAY SPEEDS.. I HAVE BEEN NEARLY REAR-ENDED THREE TIMES, THE LATEST CAUSING THE MAN BEHIND ME TO ALMOST GO OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH (THANKFULLY HE WAS ABLE TO JUST BARELY AVOID THIS) AND IT IS HAPPENING WHEN MY HUSBAND IS DRIVING THE CAR AS WELL. IT IS VERY STARTLING AND WORRISOME. THE CAR ACTUALLY NOSEDIVES AND COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP AT TIMES'OTHER TIMES IT BREAKS SUDDENLY AND THEN RELEASES OR I HAVE TO PUT MY FOOT DOWN ON THE GAS WHILE TRYING TO DISENGAGE THE SYSTEM. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES ALREADY AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX IT AS IT CANNOT BE REPLICATED WHEN THEY HAVE HAD IT (WEEKS CAN GO BY IN BETWEEN WHEN IT HAPPENS) AND I HAVE EXPRESSED I DO NOT WANT THEM CONSTANTLY DRIVING MY VEHICLE TRYING TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE WHEN I WAS TOLD EXPLICITLY THAT IF THIS HAPPENS AND THEY'RE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, MY INSURANCE IS RESPONSIBLE. I HAVE ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA MOTOR AMERICA WHERE A CASE HAS BEEN OPENED AND CLOSED VERY QUICKLY. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT IT IS PRETTY MUCH NOT THEIR PROBLEM, I AM ON MY OWN UNLESS I AM ABLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN IN FRONT OF AN ADVISOR, OR HAVE AN ADVISOR DRIVE MY CAR FREQUENTLY (LIKE USING IT TO GO TO AND FROM WORK, ETC. BEING THEY DO NOT DRIVE IT FAR WHEN TRYING TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE) AND THEY DO NOT HOLD ANY LIABILITY IF THIS ISSUE IS TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHERE MYSELF OR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE WORK ARE INJURED IN ANY CAPACITY. I ALSO HAVE BEEN GETTING WARNING LIGHTS AT TIMES THAT THE SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING AND MY AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAMS HAVE BEGUN TO NOT WORK PROPERLY AS WELL. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE ONLY FIX IS TO 'IF I WERE YOU I WOULD JUST SHUT IT OFF EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR'. I WANT IT TO WORK PROPERLY BEING IT WAS PART OF THE REASON I LEASED THE VEHICLE AS IT'S STANDARD EQUIPMENT,

WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION AND RUNNING OVER SLIGHTLY BUMPY SURFACE I WILL HEAR STATIC IN THE SPEAKERS AFTER HITTING A FEW MORE BUMPS THE AUDIO WILL SHUT OFF. THEN THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN WITH EITHER SAY 'FM RADIO UNAVAILABLE' OR 'NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS LOST' FOLLOWING THIS THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN WILL EITHER REBOOT OR STAY OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS RESTARTED. IN SOME CASES WHEN THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN WENT OFF THE DRIVER SCREEN THAT DISPLAYS SPEED, RPM AND OTHER SAFETY WARNING MESSAGE SHUTS OFF AND REBOOTS WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING AND UNSAFE. I HAVE HAD MY 2019 PASSPORT AT THE DEALER FOUR TIMES WHERE THEY HAVE CHECKED CONNECTIONS, REPLACED WIRING HARNESS AND EVEN REPLACED THE DRIVER SCREEN MODULE. WEEKS AFTER THIS LAST FIX THE SAME ISSUES HAPPENED AGAIN AND NOW BOTH SCREENS ARE BLANK AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR. IT IS HEADING TO THE DEALER FOR YET ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC. NOTE DURING MOST OF THESE ISSUES I WAS USING CAR PLAY BUT HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED IT JUST USING FM RADIO. THE PROBLEMS USUALLY DON'T SURFACE TILL AFTER DRIVING ON A BUMPY ROAD.

EA25004 · No Restart After Auto Start/stop Engages

Opened Mar 26, 2025 · No close date supplied

Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Engine And Engine Cooling:engine; Engine And Engine Cooling:engine:crank/camshaft Position Sensor; Engine And Engine Cooling:engine:engine Control Module (ecu/ecm):software; Engine And Engine Cooling:engine:hard Parts Internal/mechanical

On June 3, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation PE22005 after the agency received VOQs and several field reports concerning the Auto Idle Stop (AIS) feature on 2016-2019MY Honda Pilot vehicles. The complaints allege that the engine fails to restart on its own from a complete stop at a traffic light or road intersection with the AIS function engaged. The subject vehicles are equipped with a 3.5L engine with a 9-speed automatic transmission. On January 6, 2023, Honda released service bulletins 23-008 and 23-009. These service bulletins address the failure to restart issue in the 2016-2019MY Honda Pilot vehicles, as well as the 2015-2020 Acura TLX, 2016-2020 Acura MDX, 2019-2022 Honda Passport, and 2020-2023 Honda Ridgeline vehicles. The repair outlined in the service bulletins is a two-stage countermeasure to remedy the issue. The first stage is a Programmed Fuel Injection (“PGM-FI”) software update. The second stage is only deployed if the software update fails to remedy the issue. The second stage, depending on the model and model year, consists of replacement of the starter assembly, starter relays, and a valve adjustment. Additionally, Honda extended the warranty coverage to 10 years with unlimited mileage for vehicles requiring the second stage component replacement. ODI continues to receive complaints of the AIS failure to restart, with many complainants alleging the campaign countermeasures had been completed.NHTSA has reviewed Honda's Information Request Letter responses involving warranty claims, lawsuits, and consumer complaints in addition to ODI's own data. This Engineering Analysis is being opened to further consider the potential safety defect, including gathering additional data regarding Honda’s service campaign efficacy. ODI is additionally expanding the scope to encompass all vehicles addressed in Honda’s service bulletins 23-008 and 23-009 as well as newer model year vehicles, which are substantially similar to the vehicles covered by the service campaign.
