The audio system in my car blares When car is cold and after 5 minutes it turned off, and once it turned off a loud static noise that makes my vehicle unsafe to drive. The only way to get the noise to turn off is to pull over and completely turn off the car, and sometimes that does not even work. This is a driving hazard and could also be damaging long-term to my hearing. I have contacted Honda who says they have no recalls associated with this issue, but there are NUMEROUS complaints from customers online.

I WAS DRIVING AT 15 MPH AND MY CAR JOLTED AND STALLED AND SEVERAL (5) WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. VEHICLE STABILITY, BRAKE, POWER STEERING, AND A COUPLE OTHER LIGHTS. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. I TRIED TO DRIVE IT A FEW MILES AND IT WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND I COULDN'T DRIVE IT MORE THAN ABOUT 20 MPH. I HAD IT TOWED FROM HOME TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAD AROUND 40K MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. HONDA SAID IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH A BULLETIN - STATING THAT THE CAM SHAFT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH A SENSOR. THEY TOLD ME THE CAM SHAFT ASSEMBLY WAS UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE SENSOR. WHEN I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT HONDA WAS GIVING EXTENDED WARRANTIES TO NEWER MODELS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND EVEN DOING RECALLS BUT MY VIN DIDN'T QUALIFY. A FEW MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD AND MY CAR STARTED HAVING SHIFTING PROBLEMS AGAIN. SO, I TAKE IT IN AND THEY ARE SAYING THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE SERVICED BUT THE SERVICE ONLY GETS A LITTLE BIT OF THE FLUID OUT SO THEY WANTED TO DO THE SERVICE 3 TIMES AND CHARGED ME FOR DOING THE SAME THING 3 TIMES. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FIND OUT THAT IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO GIVE A LIMITED WARRANTY ON UP 80K MILES. MY CONCERN IS THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SHIFTING ISSUES, STALLS AND JOLTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED WITHIN 4 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. IF I WERE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THAT HAPPENED, GOING AT 60 MPH, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED UNNECESSARY ACCIDENTS. IT'S DANGEROUS BUT, STILL NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AND IT'S LIKE FIGHTING TOOTH AND TOENAIL WITH HONDA TO GET THEM TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW WHEN OR IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I PURCHASED MY HONDA BRAND NEW. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE OFF THE ROADS UNTIL THE ISSUES ARE FIXED. I THINK I HAVE A LEMON!

1. I AM GETTING STATIC ON THE RADIO, THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT SOLVING THIS ISSUE COMPLETELY. I KNOW BY TURNING ON AND OFF THE CAR IT WILL RESOLVE IT FOR AN AMOUNT OF TIME AND IT COMES BACK. THIS OCCURS WHEN DRIVING AND NOT DRIVING. 2. ISSUES WITH TIRE LOW PRESSURE THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT SOLVING THIS ISSUE COMPLETELY. I KNOW BY ADDING AIR IT WILL RESOLVE IT FOR AN AMOUNT OF TIME AND IT COMES BACK. THIS OCCURS WHEN DRIVING AND NOT DRIVING.

I HAVE THE HONDA AWD 2016 TOURING MODEL WITH Z TRANSMISSION. SINCE PURCHASE, THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE BY ITSELF WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE SLOPE BETWEEN 25 -30 MILES PER HOUR, THE BRAKE WILL NOT STOP THE SPEEDING, AND ACTUALLY WILL REDUCE THE SPEED AND IT APPEARS TRANSMISSION WILL FORCE THE SPEED GOES UP AGAINST THE BRAKE. DURING THE DRIVE, AT THIS RANGE, WHEN ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WILL MAKE A SQUEAKY SOUND BY THE TIRE LEVEL, ALMOST FEEL THE TIRE IS TRYING TO CATCH UP WITH THE SPEED OF TRANSMISSION AND WON'T TURN AS FAST AS IT COULD AND HENCE THE SQUEAKY SOUND, THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT 24 K MILES AND VERY CHALLENGING IN DRIVING THIS CAR. NEED THIS TO BE REPLACED AS THE Z TRANSMISSION RECALL IS STARTING BY OTHER MANUFACTURES.. THE WORST IS THE SPEED OF THE CAR AT DRIVE DOWN SLOPE AND COULD KILL ANYONE DUE TO IT ACTUALLY AUTOMATICALLY START SPEEDING EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT IS ON BRAKE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN AT ABOUT 30 MILES AND HOUR TOWARDS A RED LIGHT. I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN WITH THE BRAKES, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP AND SKIDDED RIGHT THROUGH THE RED LIGHT. I ALSO TRIED STEERING THE CAR TO THE RIGHT, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STEER RIGHT AND KEPT SKIDDING THROUGH THE RED LIGHT UNTIL IT SLIGHTLY HIT THE MEDIAN AND STOPPED. LUCKILY, NO ONCOMING CARS WERE COMING OR MY CAR WOULD HAVE WENT RIGHT INTO THEM. THE TIRES CLAIM TO BE "ALL WEATHER TIRES" WHICH ARE BRIDGESTONE DUELER TIRES, 245/60R18. ON OTHER OCCASIONS IN THE RAIN, I HAVE FELT THE CAR SKID WHEN TAPPING ON THE BRAKES WHILE TURNING, BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT OF YESTERDAY WHEN I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. I ALSO READ ON LINE OF ANOTHER PERSON REPORTING SKIDDING WHILE TURNING IN THE RAIN IN A HONDA PILOT. SOMETHING HAPPENS WITH THIS CAR IN THE RAIN THAT CAUSES THE BRAKES TO NOT STOP THE CAR AND INSTEAD SKID AS IF IT IS ON ICE WITHOUT CONTROL OF THE STEERING AT THE SAME TIME. *TR
