2020 HONDA PILOT Complaints

PURCHASED 2020 HONDA PILOT 12/29/2019 OFF THE DEALER DISPLAY FLOOR. PILOT HAS LESS THAN 1000 MILES. WHILE IN MOTION ON THE CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY, A CRACKING SOUND WILL OCCUR FROM THE DASH BOARD AND THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE AUDIO INFORMATION SCREEN WILL BLACK OUT UNABLE TO GAGE ANYTHING. STILL IN MOTION THE SCREENS WILL UPLOAD, BUT THE SCREENS WILL BLACKOUT AGAIN. THIS WILL HAPPEN FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AT A TIME. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER AND WIFE IS HESITANT TO DRIVE THE BRAND NEW PILOT. THE QUESTION BELOW IS REQUESTING A DATE OF OCCURRENCE, BUT THIS IS HAPPENING DAILY WHEN WE DRIVE THE PILOT. NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS MY INFOENTERTAINMENT CENTER FROZE, COMPLETELY SHUT OFF MY DASH. IT WOULD SAY NETWORK CONNECTION FAILURE. I LOST ALL DASH OPERATIONS. NO RADIO, PHONE, SPEEDOMETER, FUEL RANGE, REVERSE CAMERA, ETC. AFTER THE 5TH TIME THE FIRST DAY, ON THE WAY TO HONDA IT WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. WINDSHIELD TELLS THE CAR TO BRAKE WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF IT. THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS WAS REPLACED. THEN, AFTER BEING IN HONDA FOR 7 DAYS, THE NAVIGATION FROZE AND THE DASH FROZE AGAIN. IT SPENT ANOTHER 4 DAYS WITH HONDA. THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS. THE INTERIOR LIGHT IS DIM AND PULSATES, THE WINDSHIELD DOES IT'S OWN THING, HIGH BEAMS TURN ON AT INCOMING TRAFFIC. IT BRAKES WITH NO ONE AROUND. THE DASH FREEZES AND GOES TO A COMPLETE BLACK SCREEN. IT'S A BRAND NEW PILOT BECAUSE MINE WAS TOTALED WHEN SOMEONE DROVE INTO MY 2018 PILOT. I'M NOT HAPPY I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY SINCE THE VEHICLE BRAKES RANDOMLY. MY 2018 DID NOT HAVE ANY OF THESE ISSUES AND MY HUSBAND'S 2017 PILOT DOES NOT HAVE THESE ISSUES.

I BEEN HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE 2020 HONDA PILOT BLACK EDITION THE BRAKE ALERT ON THE DASH COMES ON OUT OF NO WHERE WITHOUT ANYONE OR ANYTHING AROUND ME. THE INFOTAINMENT, DASH AND SPEAKERS WITH SHOTTING OFF N MAKING POPPING NOISES. THIS SUV I USE IT WITH MY FAMILY AND THAT CAN CAUSE A REALLY NASTY ACCIDENT BC ALL THAT HAPPENS ALL OF SUDDEN AND IS REALLY SCARY. I HAD MY SUV ALREADY TWICE IN THE DEALER N NOW IS GOING TO BE 3RD TIME. SOMETHING HAVE TO BE DONE. THIS A 50K+ SUV AND DRIVING WITH A VEHICLE THAT HAVE DOES TYPES OF ISSUES IS A BIG RISK ESPECIALLY WITH OUR KIDS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY , HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET . 75 NO OTHER CARS AROUND WHEN IS SLAMMED THE BREAKS AND THE SCREEN FLASHED A BIG RED BRAKES BOX . SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF ME . AT RANDOM TIMES THE RED BRAKES BOX WITH POP UP

WHILE DRIVING MY SPEAKERS BEGAN TO CRACK : YOU CAN'T LISTEN TO THE RADIO . AFTER A FEW MOMMENTS THE SCREEN TURNS BLACK ' NETWORK CONNECTION LOST ' GOES BLANK OR AUDIO TURNED OFF . THEM GOES COMPLETELY BLANK . THEM THE SPEEDOMETER WILL ALSO GO BLANK. THIS HAPPEN WHILE USING APPLE CAR PLAY , GPS. AS WELL AS XMRADIO . I WAS ON CITY ROADS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THEN HIGHWAY WERE IT HAPPENED FREQUENTLY.

ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM BLANKS OUT AND DIGITAL INFO ON DASH BLANK OUT ( NO SPEED INFO) HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION SURFACE STREET OR HIGHWAY

WITH JUST UNDER 5000 MILES ON MY 2020 PILOT, THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM FROZE AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. I LOST ACCESS TO THE REAR CAMERA, GPS, CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT, RADIO, HANDS-FREE PHONE AND OTHER FEATURES. I WAS ALSO AFRAID THAT THE SCREEN STAYING ON ALL NIGHT WOULD DRAIN MY BATTERY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I DON'T THINK THAT A CAR THIS NEW SHOULD BE HAVING THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN LATE-MODEL HONDAS. IT WILL REMAIN TO BE SEEN HOW LONG THE FIX WORKS. I USE THIS CAR FOR ROAD TRIPS WITH MY FAMILY AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE WE ARE TRAVELING. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE TAKING THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP, AND LEAVING IT THERE ALL DAY. THIS POSES BOTH SAFETY CONCERNS AND IS ALSO EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT. A BRAND NEW CAR SHOULDN'T HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THESE ISSUES BY ISSUING A RECALL. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL HONDA OWNER FOR AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN DRIVING AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM LIKE THIS.

WE WE'RE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AS WELL AS THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER WENT BLACK/COMPLETELY OUT. WE COULD NOT TELL OUR SPEED NOR ANY OTHER VEHICLE DATA AS THE INSTRUMENT PANE WAS DEAD. WHILE THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER GOING OUT IS BAD, HAVING NO INSTRUMENT PANEL IS VERY DANGEROUS AND A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN.

THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM (BRAKES) WILL SLAM ON THE BRAKES WITH NO HAZARD IN THE AREA. THE SYSTEM FREQUENTLY FLASHES A MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY TO BRAKE IN RED AND BLACK. AT LEAST ONCE THE SYSTEM HAS ACTUALLY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE SALESMAN SAID THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THAT I SHOULD SHUT THE SYSTEM OFF. HONDA APPARENTLY DOES NOT CONTEMPLATE A FIX TO THE SYSTEM.

DISPLAY AUDIO/INFORMATION SCREEN BECAME HOT WHILE DRIVING AND SCREEN MALFUNCTIONED WHILE USING APPLE CARPLAY WITH IPHONE PLUGGED IN VIA USB CORD. DISPLAY SCREEN RUNS WARM WHILE PHONE IS DISCONNECTED. DISPLAY SCREEN DOES NOT TURN OFF AFTER TUNING OFF THE ENGINE AND THE LIGHTS DIM. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED CONCURRENTLY WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN, THE GAS LIGHT ALARMING, AND CARPLAY RUNNING AUDIOBOOKS. THE AUDIO/INFORMATION SCREEN LOST FM RADIO, BLUETOOTH, CARPLAY, BACK-UP CAMERA, AND HANDS-FREE CAPABILITIES.
