CarComplaints.com Notes: It's worrying when the top category for 2016 Honda Pilot problems are transmission problems. Owners report jerking when accelerating. Also as the first model year of the redesigned 3rd generation Pilot, it's not a good sign.
Honda released a TSB on October 29 2016 that's possibly related. The TSB deals with a "a judder from the torque converter lock-up clutch ... while driving between 20 and 60 mph" due to deteriorated transmission fluid resulting from "specific driving conditions". In the TSB, Honda states they are developing a software fix to try to keep the transmission fluid temperature within spec.
We are keeping a close eye on this defect trend because if certain driving conditions can affect transmission shifting in the first year of ownership, we'd hate to think what 10+ years will do.

As many others report, keyless entry-keyless start FOB is not picked up and either doors wont unlock and /or car will not start. Sometimes message appears to place FOB close to start button and car will usually start...but sometimes takes repeated times of putting foot on brake and pushing start button. Yesterday took 5 times. Definitely something going on with Honda’s FOB system. Wife now afraid she will get stranded somewhere. Don’t really appreciate this grief. To Honda Corporation: We owners pay a premium price for your vehicles because they are supposed to be dependable. So research and fix the damn problem already!!!
