We purchased a new 2020 honda pilot, touring model, from stokes honda north in north charleston, sc on june 27, 2020. Within several days, we experienced persistent static coming from the front speakers, with or without the radio on and regardless of the vehicle being in motion or stationary. This issue resulted in distracted driving on each occasion. On july 14, 2020, while driving on the highway, the dashboard panels went completely black affecting the speedometer, temperature gauge, fuel gauge, navigation, cruise control, back-up cameras, etc. The same issue occurred several hours later while in street traffic. We went in person to notify stokes honda about this serious concern and to initiate our warranty agreement to fix the problem. We were advised that they were aware of this problem with honda pilots; that they knew of this problem when they sold us the vehicle; and that there was nothing they could do to fix the problem even though it fell under our warranty guidelines. As of today, the safety concerns have not been resolved and stokes honda representatives have become unresponsive.

Problems with the computers including dash board information and infotainment system. Previously heard "popping noises" and had intermittent black outs. I went to start my vehicle after work and both screens were black and would not come on. This means all functions of these two screens absent; I had no speedometer, no odometer, no lane mitigation, no sensor braking, no cruise, no radio, no blue tooth, no GPS, no maintenance lights'etc. I had a gas gauge and a h/c gauge that did function.

Please note: all of the problems occurred on our 2019 pilot which we turned in as a "lemon". Now we have same problems with our 2020 pilot. Screen blacks out showing speedometer so we have no idea how fast we are driving. Gas gauge goes black so we don't know how much gas we have. Screen goes black & voice controls stop during navigation use so we get lost. Back-up/parking sensors stop working. Loud noise like sand storm on windshield can be occasional or non-stop. Entire infotainment system stops working. All of the above can be while car is in park or while driving. Pls advise if I can send you photos from my phone to the email address of an investigator.
