Paint Peeling around windows and top surfaces of 2011 Honda Pilot - White Pearl Paint Paint chips coming off around windows and landing in car when eating. Child almost ate paint chips. Took Car to Pueblo Honda several years ago and told that there was nothing they could do as car was to old. Out of warranty. They did not check or notify me that the warranty was extended for 7 years. I just found this on Google. Car had hail damage 2018 and insurance and auto body shop said paint defective. Filed online at Honda about this no one contacted me. This first appeared and started to peel about 5 years ago in 2016. Is only getting worse. 102,429 8.6.2018 mialage

Driving onto on ramp of highway from prior highway at approximate speed of 30 mph. Driver noticed a lurch from front of vehicle. Unknown part that was involved. Possibly transmission or fuel line but only suspicion with no evidence left to investigate (see pictures included). Acceleration no longer engaging. Driver pulled vehicle over to side of highway. Driver and passenger exited the vehicle. After a few minutes, noticed a stream of smoke emitting from under hood of vehicle. Small fire noticed at bottom of car. Within minutes the car went up in flames. Ems extinguished fire eventually. Total time of incident 10-15 minutes.
I notice my 2011 Pilot's brakes don't function normally. Instead of smooth brake application the brake pedal 'clicks' while being pressed and released. Brakes don't feel weak, they still stop well but just the pedal makes me worry. This issue has been ongoing for a few weeks now. The problem doesn't go away either, no matter if you're stationary or have been driving for 2 hours the brake feel is the same.

Bought a 2011 Honda Pilot approximately a year ago. Right off noticed it had a weird smell to it. Could not track it down. Well about a month ago it rained for about five days straight. That is when we noticed the floorboards were soaking wet. Tried to locate the leak and first found the windshield was cracked so we had it replaced. No luck there. Pulled up the carpet in the front driver side and it was full of water and mildew/mold. This was an issue when we bought the car and we were not informed of it. You can tell from how much mold and mildew that this is no new problem. Tried to research it online and this is no isolated issue. Many people are having this issue with the 2011 Pilot. This is a safety issue because wet shoes can slip on slick worn out pedals, and then you have an accident. Still to date haven't found leak and Honda just wants to charge to "fix" the issue and the next time it rains the floorboard is full of water again.
While driving on a highway at approximately 65 mph the hood became ajar after hitting a small dip in the road at the end of a bridge. The hook prevented the hood from opening the entire way and I was able to pull over safely and close the hood. Tried pulling it open afterwards and was not able to.
