My 2011 Pilot was purchased new in Aug 2011, has less than 68000 miles and I live in southern CA, yet: my battery died and had to be replaced Apr 2018 (car was parked < 1hr and would not start, but started fine the hour before). My engine check transmission system light/warning came on and we had to add a quart of oil on July 18, 2019, even though I had an oil change done in may 2019 less than 500 miles before. On 7/24/19, my front windshield wipers stopped and today I had to have the motor replaced not just a fuse. I'm concerned why a Honda < 9 yrs old is having these issues - burning oil & motors dying. Is my car a lemon? can you please help to allow me to have a dealership service do a full inspection/fix on the oil issue at no cost and possibly a reimbursement on the cost of the new windshield wiper motor (part & labor approx. $411 - I can provide a copy of the invoice later as the work is being done today)? thank you for your consideration. I would appreciate any assistance in ensuring that my car does not progress as a lemon. I have been a dedicated Honda owner since 1981 and this is the first one I've owned that has problems. Thank you.
The inside rear view mirror has degraded to the point where the mirror is cloudy with black spots that appear like dirt, but are actually just the degradation of the mirror itself. I've searched online and see that this is a common problem with the 2011 Honda Pilot.
Rear view mirror became hazy after only approx 2 years and is now becoming progressively worse. It is now hindering visibility through mirror.
Interior rear view mirror of my Honda Pilot ex-l 2011 lost most of the reflective coating/ material. The mirror is clean but looks dirty as it lost most of the reflective material. It has become dangerous to drive with no proper rear view mirror and the replacement cost for the mirror is little over $850. I browsed online and found out many people complained of the same issue with Honda Pilot interior rear view mirror. Please have a check and help all the Honda Pilot owners and other vehicles which use the same part.
The sunroof spontaneously cracked while driving on a city street. When I took the car to the dealership, one of the mechanics mentioned that this was a common problem. Nevertheless, I had to pay for the entire replacement. The sunroof is regularly exposed to the sun because the 2011 Pilot does not have a retractable outer cover like most other cars have.
The contact owns a 2011 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, the sun roof window shattered without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 48,000.
The car was parked on the drive way. The glass hatch was exploded as we closed the tailgate. It caused cuts on hand and leg on little boy standing by. Take the vehicle to the Honda dealer and dealer said it was not under warranty. Call american Honda and the answer was the same because the glass hatch was exploded, no warranty. This vehicle is less then 2 years old even with 3 year warranty. It costs $550. To fix it ,plus more on personal injuries.
The maximum speed setting on the windshield wipers is completely insufficient when driving on the highway / interstate during periods of rain and at speeds in excess of 45 mph. It is impossible to maintain a reasonably unobstructed view of the roadway. While traveling at higher speeds, the high-speed setting of the wipers can keep up with a mere drizzle only. A steady rain creates nearly zero visibility, while a thunderstorm or torrential rain renders the vehicle inoperable. The high-speed wiper setting on the 2011 Honda Pilot is comparable to the low speed wiper setting on the majority of other vehicles currently on the market. The service department at j. L. Freed Honda in montgomeryville, pennsylvania indicates that the wipers operate as designed.
