I have never been in an accident other than being rear ended and it was not major. My air bag light would not go out. My seat belt alarms would no longer work and my locks would not work automatically. My air bag module(SRS unit) needed replaced. It effected my airbags, seat belts and my power locks. The dealership did not know that the locks could even be effected but as soon as is was replaced the locks worked as they did prior to the malfunction. I have had a couple mechanics tell me that the module should not ever go bad unless I have been in an accident.

Since december of 2016 the center console (heating/cooling settings, stereo, volume controls) have flashed, faded, or shut off completely while operating the vehicle. This is a driving distraction and hazard to the operator(s) of this vehicle. Since the purchase in november of 2014, I drive 10,000 miles over a 10 week period several times a year. When the issue occurred I immediately contacted the dealer, who responded the vehicle was out of warranty (3 years/36,000 miles) and would be a costly out of pocket repair to me. I had already replaced the wiper motors within two years out of pocket. I sought out second opinions from other honda dealers and service providers who also gave a similar quote. I researched other online chats of similar complaints by other honda owners. To this day I'm still having further issues with the center console system (air conditioning controls fluctuate, the stereo/bluetooth volume fluctuates from loud to soft, and I must manually adjust the temperature settings blindly. I love my 2015 pilot but feel that this matter should be resolved by the dealership. Can you help me resolve this blinding defect in an otherwise wonderful vehicle?

After driving for an hour, turned car off for twenty minutes. When starting the car with the same key the immobilizing system went off. For two and one half hours car would not start. A tow truck had to be called. Then six hours later after towing putting the same key into ignition the car started. This is a family car my wife uses extensively transporting our family. I am extremely fearful of this defect reoccurring when I am not with her.

While stopped at a red light, smoke started coming out from under the hood. I immediately pulled into a parking lot and turned the engine off. A bystander yelled at me to get out of the car. She saw fire coming out from underneath the engine. Smoke continued to pour out and then the whole front of the car was engulfed in flames.

My center console (nav/AC/radio) turns off every 30 seconds in my 2015 pilot with 8k miles. It starts with a loud "pop" sounds through the speakers, followed by the entire center console going black, and reseting. It happens regardless of the radio and/or air conditioning being on/off. Honda has told dealerships to disconnect the battery for 30-45 minutes, to let the system reset, but it does not work. This is effecting every 1012-2016 honda pilot & honda odyssey in the greater cincinnati area. Honda has done absolutely nothing to resolve the issue for consumers. This happens anytime the vehicle is turned on, including in motion. This has been ongoing for over a week, and honda dealers have tried to do everything honda instructs them to do to fix this, but nothing works. The 4 pictures below are screen shots from a video I took while documenting the problem. These are in order, and show screen going blank, followed by climate control lights, followed by radio/nav. This has been happening since 2/16, I reported it to honda friday 2.19.16.
