Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS 2020 HONDA PILOT TOURING OCT 2019. I NOTICED THE POPPING IN THE SPEAKERS AFTER HAVING THE CAR A MONTH MAYBE. I ALSO NOTICED DVD ISSUES AND CONNECTION PROBLEMS. EVERY SINGLE TIME I GET IN MY CAR I HEAR POPPING NOISES THROUGHOUT THE SPEAKERS. OCCASIONALLY I HAVE "LOST NETWORK CONNECTION" AND ONCE MY WHOLE DASH/SPEEDOMETER WENT BLACK. IT ONLY CAME BACK ON 3 DAYS LATER WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. LEITH HONDA IN SOUTHERN PINES/ABERDEEN, NC ACTED "SURPRISED" WITH THESE ISSUES. THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN A SPEEDOMETER GO OUT. I DON'T BELIEVE THEM. I'VE HEARD ONE OF THE DOCTORS IN THE AREA RAISED CANE IN THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED HIS HONDA PILOT WITH A NEW ONE. THIS POPPING IN THE SPEAKERS, DVD ISSUES, AND OTHER MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE VERY DISTRACTING AND THEREFORE DANGEROUS. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THE POPPING AND PICTURES OF EVERYTHING ELSE. UNFORTUNATELY THE VIDEOS WILL NOT UPLOAD TO THIS SAFETY COMPLAINT. EVIDENTLY THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2017ISH. I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS PILOT IF I'D KNOWN THERE WERE ELECTRICAL ISSUES!!!! WORSE $41,000 CASH I HAVE EVER SPENT! SHAME ON HONDA FOR NOT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM AND CONTINUING TO SELL PROBLEM AUTOMOBILES TO CUSTOMERS! PLEASE CONSIDER THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AS A DANGER. WE NEED OUR AUTOMOBILES REPAIRED BY HONDA BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAYS! *TR
