At 5,000 km the front brake disk needed skimming since there where "burnt spots" that caused the steering to vibrate when applying the brakes. The dealership claimed that I was over braking and must have made an emergency brake. I never had this problem before on big cars.
At 25000 km the dealer said there where scratches on the disks and due to them being to thin it needed to be replaced. At 25000km? Also the front brake pads wear at double the speed as the back and needs to be replaced at only 25000km. Clearly there is design issues here, and as no warranty applies to wear and tear - I will have to foot the bill to a poorly designed breaking system.
I will need to get rid of this vehicle asap. I can't advise anyone out there to purchase a Pilot. Sorry Honda...your quality seems to have made a nose dive!
