1 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 07/04/2019

Bought 2011 Pilot in may 2010, brand new. The brochure stated the vehicle has leather interior trim. To my dismay two years later, the center seat developed a crack and was taken to the dealer, and was told the seat was vinyl. Not leather! the hand rest on all doors and center console are all torn and stretched to reveal the trim was thin strips of some sort of rubber. Now all seats are also cracked and torn after the vinyl hardened. I feel as if I was fleeced by Honda. Had I known the interior was rubber and vinyl I would have stuck with the fabric seats. Additionally the vehicle kept shutting down only to find out the throttle body was defective. The vehicle 'eats' brake pads and the emergency does not work properly. I learnt the hard way few months after purchasing my vehicle. I parked it in my driveway which has a very slight incline, placed it in neutral and applied the brakes and stepped out, only to hear horns blowing. On checking, the vehicle had rolled into the street. To this day the dealer cannot figure why the emergency brake does not work if the vehicle is on an incline with the back towards the bottom of the incline. .
