1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 08/31/2022

I got this car as a loan from a 3rd party dealer ship and they never told me it had a recall days after the airbag light pops up in the dashboard I took it to get service and they stated that the problem was fixed. The light on the dashboard was gone. A couple days ago the light came back and it makes a weird noise when you turn it on and the car gets humidity so fast the windows fog up and I have to turn the ac on. It doesn’t feel safe to drive it at times but I have to for work. I just want to make sure it’s safe to drive from la to sylmar I’m afraid if it gets to hot or humid that the airbag will go off, and I’m paying way more than I expected each month for the car and it doesn’t feel safe.

2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 04/25/2017

The sunroof of my 2012 Honda Pilot shattered for no reason after a very loud explosion sound (sounded like a fire cracker inside the SUV). This happened as my son, mother in law and I were driving at highway speeds. This abrupt explotion and breakage could have been deadly. I urge that Honda takes ownership of this issue. I read many blogs and for my surprise it seems to be a common issue due to poor quality material of choice by the manufacturers. Now the worst part is that this replacement is very expensive and neither the Honda dealer or geico wants to help and now I have to pay a deductible of $500. Definitely not a fair bargain for me after spending $40,000 for a Honda SUV.

3 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 08/11/2016

When backing up using the backup camera the camera display will sometimes go black on the screen. I have almost on two occasions almost hit someone backing out of a parking lot. This is a intermittent problem that comes and goes. I feel it's a safety issues to have your vision suddenly cut out with no warning.
