NHTSA Complaint #11317339 — 2013 HONDA PILOT

ON 2018, THE PAINT ON THE ROOF BEGAN TO PEEL IN CHUNKS BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND MOONROOF. ADDITIONALLY, THE WHOLE BODY PAINT BEGAN TO FADE REGARDLESS OF HOW OFTEN IT WAS WASHED AND WAXED. THE ISSUE WAS BROUGHT UP TO A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY WERE ONLY WILLING TO PAINT THE ROOF AND SIDE BECAUSE IT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A VEHICLE RECALL MATTER. THE ROOF HAS BEEN FIXED BUT NOW THE CAR LOOKS AWKWARD AS ONE PORTION IS VERY SHINY WHILE THE REST LOOKS HORRIBLY FADED. THE REST OF THE PAINT HAS ONLY BECOME WORSE AS THE TIME PROGRESSED. WHY ISN'T ANYONE AT HONDA CORPORATE NOT FIXING THIS? IT IS A KNOWN QUALITY DEFECT AND NO FIX IS BEING DONE. I ASKED A BODY SHOP FOR A QUOTE TO SEE HOW MUCH IT WOULD BE TO PAINT THE REST OF THE VEHICLE. $8000.00 TO FIX THE ISSUE!!!
