What owners wrote

As soon as the vehicle was driven out of the lot, 17 miles on the odometer, after the vehicle was purchased, a vibration was felt coming through the seats at 75 MPH. And multiple resonance frequencies can be felt through the chassis into the interior of the vehicle. This vibration is constant between 65 MPH to 78 MPH (highway speeds) and it get worst during longer periods of driving. These frequencies of vibrations are transmitted to your lower back causing stress and back pain.

Reported at 17 miles, October 2012

I purchased my third honda, a 2013 honda pilot in 2017 from my local honda dealership. In 2019, I received a recall notice from american honda stating that we could have the cost of repainting our recalled vehicles covered if we had damage. At that time, I did not have any issues with the paint on my pilot. Well, a couple weeks ago, a huge amount of paint on my roof was missing all of a sudden. I contacted american honda as it stated on the recall notice and was told the recall period and my warranty had expired.
