Visibility/Wiper
While driving at highway speed the driver's-side wiper stopped working. Had to stop on hard shoulder. Issue was not obvious. The rain was not going to end any time soon so my partner ended up driving their vehicle in front of me with the hazards flashing at low speed so i could follow them closely until we could get to an exit and leave the pilot at a park-and-ride. This was very dangerous: sudden loss of visibility…

My tailgate window exploded while parked probably due to pressure. You can clearly see it exploded from the inside out. I contacted my local dealer, honda of concord as well as honda of america and they refused to acknowledge the issue.

New pilot elite just over 2 months old and with roughly 3800 miles on it had the sunroof (not panoramic moonroof) blow out on a rural highway with no cars or objects in sight. Nothing hit the car or flew into view prior to explosion. This occurred 100 miles from home and on a sunday so the car had to be limped home to be taken to the dealer the following day. The dealer claimed they took pictures and communicated…
