I purchased my 2005 Honda Pilot in 08. The problem with the clear coat and paint fading actually started in 2010. I was trying to establish the date on the calendar but it wouldn't go back that far. I took it back to the dealership and was told it was basic wear and that I was on my own.

A few patches of slight discoloration in the paint, specifically on the front part of the roof and side rear panels. The paint appears lighter or duller than the surrounding area. Honda claims it is normal wear and tear, but it appears to be specific to the sage color.
