The radio in this vehicle freezes, produces static feedback and electrical feedback while operating the touchscreen. Sound from the speakers becomes distorted and lacking power. Electrical surging can be heard. This occurred within the first 1000 miles since purchased new. Rear hatch alignment was also not installed properly from the factory and required a body shop to attach it correctly. Seat fabric material was also defective and coming apart.
2019 Honda Pilot body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The passenger side mirror won't stay at the proper adjustment. You set it and it drops in a few minutes so you can't see the cars behind you. When you drive you have to keep adjusting the mirror. It's a small problem but could be a big problem if there is an accident.
Owner's manual states that motion of the power tailgate can be stopped by pressing any tailgate button. "if you press the button again while the power tailgate is moving, it will stop." (pages from manual attached as pdf.) dealer also told me this. This is a lie. The tailgate does not stop until it reaches the full upward position, or until its upward motion hits an obstacle (e.g. Garage door) and reverses direction. Honda lied. After complaining to dealer, I was informed this important safety feature was removed from the 2019 pilot; yet it is in the manual multile times on multiple pages. Consequently, the vehicle is useless to me; I cannot use the power tailgate while the vehicle is parked in my garage. I want honda to buy back the vehicle from me or issue a firmware update that restores this safety feature.
