1 Tailgate problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2018

Owner's manual states that motion of the power tailgate can be stopped by pressing any tailgate button. "if you press the button again while the power tailgate is moving, it will stop. " (pages from manual attached as pdf. ) dealer also told me this. This is a lie. The tailgate does not stop until it reaches the full upward position, or until its upward motion hits an obstacle (e. G. Garage door) and reverses direction. Honda lied. After complaining to dealer, I was informed this important safety feature was removed from the 2019 Pilot; yet it is in the manual multile times on multiple pages. Consequently, the vehicle is useless to me; I cannot use the power tailgate while the vehicle is parked in my garage. I want Honda to buy back the vehicle from me or issue a firmware update that restores this safety feature.
