Warning lights on other Pilot years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2014, 2015, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.
What this problem usually is
This sheet is for the moment the whole dash lights up at once: a string of warnings for systems that seem to have nothing to do with each other. Sometimes features drop out. Sometimes it's all gone on the next start. When that many systems complain together, it makes sense to look first at what they have in common.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the battery (11 reports) and the module (4 reports).
Recalls and investigations
One recall on the electrical system covers the 2019 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
Incorrect central network software programming may cause several errors to occur that can delay or prevent the rearview camera image from displaying.

8 of the 31 reports quote a price. Each dot is one quote. The middle half runs $1,000 to $4,000.
When it happens
Too few of these reports state a mileage to give a range.
What owners wrote

“While driving and vehicle is in motion, vehicle loses all power, all electrical components turn off and vehicle shuts off. To reiterate, this is not the idle stop power down, this is the entire vehicle shutting off. Last time I was driving at 45 MPH when all power lost. Taking vehicle to dealership for pending recalls this week. No warning lights, no messages on display, just seemingly a random loss of power.”

“For the second time is the last few weeks the car experienced issues after losing electrical power. It failed to start after being parked for about an hour at the airport. All sorts of warnings started randomly blinking on the dashboard. But the door, cabin lights etc all would come in when the doors were opened.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 31 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
