“On the way to work while driving, navigation screen and speedometer screen went blank/black and stayed off for 3 days until I could get it into the dealership. I had to continue to drive back and forth to work 4 miles each way. Backup camera didn't work nor did usb cable. Car had approximately 4,500 miles on it at the time. This happened tuesday march 3, 2020.”
NHTSA complaint #11325104, filed 2020-05, 4,553 miles“When I started the car, put my car into reverse mode as I was moving out (backward) the rear view camera screen will go black and will not display after the error network communication lost on the screen. It takes at least a minute to two until it restart, sometimes more than 10 mins or it restart and go black again. Another multiply times, same error happened, and everything went black, the center infosystem and the drivier information screen. …”
NHTSA complaint #11340683, filed 2020-07, 3,300 miles“It started with a popping sound coming from speakers, the info screen would then shut down and you would be unable to determine your speed and have no use of backup camera. After this occuring 6 or 8 times (the car has less than 2000 miles) the display will no longer even come on. I have left with the dealer today to repair. This problem occured at random times, I was driving each time resulting in no use of instruments for speed of backup camera.”
NHTSA complaint #11337181, filed 2020-07, 1,650 miles“Last week 4/8/2020, my 2020 Honda Pilot elite starting making cracking noises through the speakers while driving. A couple of seconds later the entire radio, navigation, and information center with speedometer, gas and other vital information of engine systems went black. The system came up and stated that it was rebooting and did not have data access. I called the dealer and they told me how to conduct a hard reboot. I did this and it worked for about 20 minutes and then did it again. …”
NHTSA complaint #11320996, filed 2020-04, 2,500 miles“1. Car flashes brake and sometimes brakes on its own when it detects an object along the side of the road or when a car may be approaching in the opposite lane or in a center turning lane. This has nearly caused an accident on two different occasions. Each time the lane we are in is clear and usually doesn't even have a vehicle in front of us. 2. When in cruise control the acc will detect a vehicle in front of us going maybe 2 mhp slower than our set speed and our car will abruptly slow down to about 10 MPH below the acc set point. …”
