    Visibility/Wiper

    After placing the gear shifter in reverse, from a stationary position, the reverse camera has stopped working, which keeps the driver from being able to safely see obstacles (pedestrians) when backing up.

I did not realize what happened or what caused that sound until the following morning. After seeing the damage, i taped it up and called my insurance. Stevens creek honda advised it was not under warranty.

    After only a few months of ownership and roughly 6,500 miles my windshield has two large cracks in it from rocks hitting it. It just seems a bit ridiculous that these windshields are so susceptible to damage in such a small amount of time.

    Since the transmission was replaced at 12,181 miles in june 2019 on a 2018 honda pilot elite, other issues have popped up. The forward collision system has gone off twice on a 2 lane state highway. In both cases, i was on a 2 lane highway going about 50 miles an hour with no cars in front of me for at least a mile or two, no vehicles coming the other way, on a straight part of the road, nothing in the road and…
