FACTORY STEREO. I HAD BROUGHT MY CAR TO LIA HONDA IN ENFIELD TO SEE WHY THE FACTORY RADIO WORKS FOR EVERYTHING BUT THE SIRIUS XM RADIO. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD NEED A NEW ANTENNA AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR THREE DAYS AND NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS WRONG. CAR HAS 58827 MILES ON IT AND IS A 2016. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME 750 DOLLARS TO REPLACE MY ANTENNA.

AN ERROR WITH THE "KEYLESS START SYSTEM" KEEPS RE-OCCURRING. AN ERROR CODE "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" SHOWS UP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY RE-SET THE COMPUTER (FOR A PRICE), BUT ERROR CODE RETURNED 24 HOURS LATER. DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2016 HONDA PILOTS.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AS A "CERTIFIED PRE OWNED BY HONDA" AND FOUR DAYS AFTER THE PURCHASE THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, IN "PARK" WHEN I HIT THE START/STOP ENGINE BUTTON AND THE VEHICLE DIDN'T START. ALARMS STARTED TO GO OFF SO I ASSUMED IT WAS THE KEY WAS STILL INSIDE THE HOUSE. AS I WENT INSIDE TO CHECK, MAYBE A FEW SECONDS, WHEN I WENT BACK OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE WAS GONE. I FOUND IT IN MY FRONT YARD. IT HAD ROLLED OFF WHILE IN PARK WITHOUT ENGINE ON. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED TO HONDA, DAYS LATER I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE START/STOP ENGINE SYSTEM AND THAT IT ALSO NEEDED THE ENTIRE A/C SYSTEM REPLACED. ATTACHED YOU WILL FIND THE PHOTO I TOOK OF THE VEHICLE STILL IN PARK WHEN I FOUND IT IN MY FRONT YARD.

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. THE ERROR MESSAGE COMES AND GOES OVER THE LAST WEEK. WHAT'S CONCERNING IS THE REPORTS OF THE ENTIRE CAR TURNING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING OR IDLING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN 2016 HONDA PILOTS YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT.
