In owners’ own words

Other mileage not reported 1 mo in service
I was driving down the road and my sunroof exploded. It was random and there was no debris around. I had my cover closed so no glass fell into the car. Looking at the sunroof it appears as if it exploded up.
Other mileage not reported 4 mo in service
I bought the car on 11th of November it’s has now 8000 miles today 1/24/2024 all the check engine and warning safety lights came on i went to the Kay Honda dealership to find the problem he says u have to get appointment also I complained at the dealer whom I bought car from about the brakes is not working properly as a new car with no attention mentioning to me cause that’s a big truck so the brakes like that also complained about the axles makes noises when backing like it broken I got pics for the dash board showing the issue
Other mileage not reported 6 mo in service
on 3/9/24 while traveling west on I10 the panoramic rooftop window shattered. Had the canvas from the sunroof been rolled back the shattered glass from the window would have come down on my husband and myself while driving 75 miles per hour. Because the glass shattered it had to be taken back to the dealer for repair. Which is still there 6/17/24. The glass was embedded in the track for the skylight. Dealer is aware of issue.
Steering mileage not reported 2 mo in service
I bought my 2024 Honda Pilot two weeks ago, it only has 300 miles and suddenly all the warnings indicating system failures were activated, engine check, lane assist, emergency braking, emission system, etc., it almost didn't start, it left me in road. It is not possible that something practically new is failing like that with two weeks of use and only 300 miles, that is not right, it is putting lives in danger. honda has to solve that
