Honda Audio System in 2019 Pilots is screwed up. Not loose wires or harness - this seems to be a software issue. Doesn't matter if it phone is connected via bluetooth or USB cable - this happens every time after about 30 minutes of driving. Once you turn off the car and start again - everything goes back to normal - for a short while - then returns. This is not the Honda quality that I thought I was purchasing. They need to take ownership of the problem and fix this!
I HAD A 2005 HONDA CIVIC THAT HAD NEVER GIVEN ME ANY PROBLEMS. THE HONDA PILOT WAS MY DREAM VEHICLE AND AFTER MY HUSBAND WAS HIT IN THE CIVIC WE UPGRADED TO THE HONDA PILOT. THIS TRUCK IS AWFUL! I AM SO DISAPPOINTED. MY RADIO STATICS, THE SPEAKERS POP, AND THIS MORNING MY DASHBOARD WENT BLACK. HAD NO IDEA OF HOW FAST I WAS GOING. I HAVE CURRENTLY BEEN LOANED A VEHICLE UNTIL THEY TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE AT HAND. IT'S EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING TO BE PAYING SO MUCH A MONTH FOR A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND NOT BE DRIVING IT. HAS ANYONE HAD THIS ISSUE AND HAD IT RESOLVED?
Bought new 2019 pilot touring, awd has been flawless until vehicle reached about 5k miles, then started noticing popping noises coming from all speaker's no matter how the system is being played, DVD Bluetooth ext. Seems the more the vehicle ages or goes up in miles keeps getting worse.
Update from Sep 19, 2019: Dealership's don't know how fix it they claim only gets worst
