problem #3

Pilot EX-L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,000 miles

Similar to the other complaints on this page, our driver side armrest and center console cover have ripped due to poor quality. I am not sure what the best solution is to have this repaired and prevented from reoccurring. This is disappointing based on the quality Honda has stood for.

Pilot Touring V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 82,330 miles

It’s no secret Honda is fast establishing a reputation for making cars with the cheapest and least reliable parts they can find. Well, my 2011 hardly lasted 3 years on the road before it started showing severe deterioration of the interior upholstery. Armrest and door-panel paper thin, faux vinyl upholstery quickly bubbled up and eventually burst to awfully ugly sights.

Pilot EX 3.5L V6

arm rest and door vinyl sag

Interior upholstery seems that the padding is breaking down and the glue used is decomposing, The car knows when you have it paid for. It's like air bubbles or armrest pad deteriorating from underneath
