Pilot Touring With Nav 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 99,000 miles

I have had several dealers tell me that the leather on the drivers side and passengers side are a factory defect that they fall apart whether you touch them or not. I replaced them every couple of years and finally found a leather repair man that used better quality material ,no problem now.HOWEVER IHAVE SPENT 600.00 FIXING THEM ......

problem #2

Pilot LX 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 15,000 miles

Console trim, front and back driver and passenger arm rest eventually wrinkled and tore. Honda replaced the console and driver side arm rest once. Occurred again after the warranty expired which I replaced. 1.5 years later, the same thing is happening. THIS IS THE WORSE VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. I am aware of at least two others that have the same issues or worse. I have had at least seven issues with this vehicle that Honda refuses to accept as manufacturing defects, including the paint chipping on the roof at 81,000 miles, key FOB replaced twice because falling apart, major suspension issues, Computer issues, injection issues, etc etc etc.

PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE. I make it a point to check other Pilots when in a public parking lot and sure enough, 80% have the same issues with the trim.
