Visibility/wiper
DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. ONE TIME WHEN I PULLED DOWN GENTLY TO BLOCK THE SUN IT BECAME LOOSE AND NEVER WOULD STAY UP AGAIN. IN READING ON CAR FORUMS THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MANY MODELS OF HONDA CARS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY RECALL FOR REPAIRS.

THE ROOF AND PART OF CAR ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD AND MOONROOF IS OXIDIZING AND IT LOOKS TERRIBLE. I KEEP READING IT'S BECAUSE OF THE POOR QUALITY PAINT USED ON CERTAIN HONDA. I HEARD OF A RECALL FOR OTHER HONDA MODELS AND YEARS AND OF COURSE MINE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HONDA, I FEEL, NEEDS TO RECALL AND RE-PAINT THESE VEHICLES. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY PILOT--IT'S PARKED IN GARAGE, GETS WASHED AND WAXED REGULARLY AND AM THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED AT HOW IT LOOKS AND HONDA'S LACK OF EMPATHY.

WE BROKE OFF AS MUCH AS WE COULD SO OTHER VEHICLES WOULD NOT BE DAMAGED BY THE DEBRIS.
