2012 Honda Pilot Other Problems

Your car's Pearl White paint is peeling off in sheets from the roof, hood, and other surfaces, exposing bare metal that's starting to rust. You've had to pay out of pocket for repainting, but the problem is recurring on other parts of the vehicle. Honda has told you they won't cover this as a warranty issue, though your dealer says this is a known, long-standing problem with this paint color on Honda vehicles. Addressing this will likely require professional repainting of affected body panels and potential rust treatment.

Your car's paint is peeling, and a body shop confirmed this is a manufacturing defect rather than damage from use or weather. The peeling is getting worse over time. You may need to contact Honda directly about a warranty claim or repair, as this appears to be a factory issue rather than normal wear.

AS I PROCEED TO ACCELERATE ONTO A HIGHWAY OR ROAD MY VEHICLE IS VERY HESITANT NO MATTER HOW FAR YOU PUSH DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL IT WILL NOT GO AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT LURCHES ACCELERATING THE SPEED VERY FAST AS IF IT'S TRYING TO CATCH UP. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST I HAVE THREE ACCIDENTS NOW. I HAVE TO BE VERY CAUTIOUS WHEN ENTERING AN INTERSECTION OR PULLING ONTO A FREEWAY AS MY VEHICLE DECLINES TO ACCELERATE AS IT NEEDS TO CAUSING PEOPLE TO RUN INTO ME ALMOST. IT IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT DELAY FOR THE VEHICLE TO CATCH UP ON ITS OWN AND COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COLUMNS WHERE CUSTOMERS WITH HONDA PILOTS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ORDEAL AND YET IT'S HARD TO TAKE TO A DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON AND THEN GET IN THE CAR AND IT NOT HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY BUT MY CAR DOES IT ALMOST EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE ON TO ANY ROAD. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE IT CAUSES A LIFE

I NOTICED A FEW MONTHS AGO THAT THE PAINT WAS PEELING ON MY 2012 HONDA PILOT. PAINT SHOULD NOT PEEL ON A CAR THAT IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THE HAVE REFUSED TO FIX THIS.

BLUETOOTH CONNECTION DROPS REGULARLY, CAUSING A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER.

I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY, APPLYING BRAKES AS I BEGAN COASTING TO A STOP IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED SMASHING INTO THE FRONT OF MY HOUSE. MIDDLE OF THE DAY, NO RAIN, NOT IMPAIRED, FLAT DRIVEWAY. AIR BAGS DID NOT ACTIVATE. PAINT/SCRATCHES ON THE FRONT BUMPER AND CRACKS ON THE HOUSE STUCCO BUT NO MAJOR DAMAGE. ACCELERATION STARTED JUST A COUPLE YARDS FROM THE HOUSE. HONDA DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF A COMPUTER OR OTHER PROBLEM.

TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE HAS ROUGH IDLE UPON START AND STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THREE DAYS. HONDA HAS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. HONDA ADVISED THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, YET I WAS ABLE TO FIND NHTSA REPORTS THAT INVOLVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *JS
