the suv paint has started peeling and while driving the flakes fly off. 3 day while driving on i-90 interstate in chicago area and a big piece (2feet x 6-8 inches wide)of paint flake flew and landed on a car behind me on its windshield and luckily that driver was able to stop the car without incident. (anything serious could have also happened) Honda is a premium car which charges much more than equivalent brands and yet the car paint starts flaking in under 8 years and also polluting the atmosphere.

My son open tailgate to place his backpack and close the gate. I heard a snap and was wondering what had happened and notice the the hydraulic arm broke. I think this is dangerous because the tailgate is heavy and can hurt or kill someone!!

We bought a "white diamond pearl" color Honda Pilot new from a Honda dealership. We noticed paint peeling from the roof a couple of years ago that has gotten progressively worse. Now, about 1/3 of the paint is gone from the roof as it just blows away in pieces when I drive. Recently we noticed a new spot of peeling on the hood that was being held in place by the clear bra. Last week while driving on the highway it came loose and flew toward my windshield. I am lucky there was no one next to me because I initially thought it was a large rock coming up from the road and swerved. There's now an additional large spot of missing paint on the hood. In doing some online research, there seems to be a problem with this specific paint color. There is no hail or other damage to the exterior of the car where the paint is peeling. We are now seeing small areas of peeling on the doors as well.

The paint is peeling between the windshield and the moonroof. This vehicle is stored inside a garage and there is no reason why the paint should be peeling. The local dealership, cape girardeau Honda stated there is not extended recall for this issue and I've emailed Honda corporate customer service and have yet to get a response.

While stopped at a red light, smoke started coming out from under the hood. I immediately pulled into a parking lot and turned the engine off. A bystander yelled at me to get out of the car. She saw fire coming out from underneath the engine. Smoke continued to pour out and then the whole front of the car was engulfed in flames.

The compass started flashing I call the dealership they said that to calibrate it back just drive in a circle on a parking lot. That would work but the flashing has appeared more often and now it won't go away. It flashes all the time and it is distracting while driving. It has the possibility of causing an accident specially at night. Please I need this defect recalled asap. Ps. I'm screenshooting this request for proof of reporting in case something happens.
