Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY PILOT 4 YEARS AGO, IT WAS OWNED BY ONE PERSON PRIOR TO ME. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE IT STARTED SEEING RUSTING BY MY TAILGATE HANDLE AND NOW ITS THE SIZE OF A BASEBALL ON BOTH SIDES. I SEE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THIS BUT WAS TOLD I DO NOT FALL UNDER THIS DUE TO THE TIME LINE. VERY UPSET THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED WHEN ITS A KNOWN ISSUE THROUGH HONDA! VERY FRUSTRATING BUYING A CAR AND SEEING THE ISSUES AND NO ONE CAN HELP. I CLEARLY GOT THE LEMON PILOT, WITHIN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF PURCHASING MY PILOT, I NEEDED NEW EXHAUST CATS AND ALL AND THEN A NEW MOTOR DUE TO OIL ISSUES AND A FUEL PUMP, THE LIST GOES ON.. WHEN WILL HONDA TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUES THAT THEY KNOW ARE PROBLEMS!
