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. Nevertheless, I was told a claim was opened on my behalf and that I needed to take the car to my local Honda dealership for a diagnosis. I was then sent to an authorized body shop for an estimate. After having to contact american Honda and the local dealership multiple times, I was told by the body shop that Honda would only cover 60% of the $1700 cost (which was only for the roof to be repainted) and that eventually the rest of the vehicle will also start to peel. I feel cheated and this is truly a lack of customer service on the part of american Honda and proctor Honda. How do you sell vehicles knowing that there is an issue with the paint coming off and then not be willing to fix the issue??

On 2018, the paint on the roof began to peel in chunks between the windshield and moonroof. Additionally, the whole body paint began to fade regardless of how often it was washed and waxed. The issue was brought up to a local dealer and they were only willing to paint the roof and side because it was the only thing that had been identified as a vehicle recall matter. The roof has been fixed but now the car looks awkward as one portion is very shiny while the rest looks horribly faded. The rest of the paint has only become worse as the time progressed. Why isn't anyone at Honda corporate not fixing this? it is a known quality defect and no fix is being done. I asked a body shop for a quote to see how much it would be to paint the rest of the vehicle. $8000 to fix the issue!!!

2013 Honda Pilot with only 31K miles and paint is peeling off. Honda issues a tsb bulletin and are covering roofs and tailgates that are peeling. So they have admitted there is a paint defect but the problem is its the same paint/primer used all over the car. Mine is peeling at to of back door and around front and back window. I know it's only going to get worse. Body shop said they've seen a good deal of white Honda with this same issue and said there is obvious defect in primer causing paint adherence issues. They are 1500 people on a facebook page that have the same issue also. How can Honda continue to get away with treating customers this way. This is my 4th Honda but its looking like my last unless Honda steps up and does the right thing!!!

Paint is peeling

- Vidor, TX, USA

Complaints involving paint peel from Honda Pilot recall. Vehicle paint is peeling at roof line common to where windshield install and sunroof install. Quality of paint is not issue. Manufacturing process is the issue. Most likely a result of poor workmanship due to preparation of metal prior to application of paint either manually or electrostatic application. Will request full repaint of vehicle from dealership at manufacture expense. Vehicle is garaged in 70-75 degree environment and is driven typical miles for age of vehicle. No known external issue such as chemical spill hail or other damage has occurred on area of concern or any other area. Original owner of vehicle. Bought new from excellent dealership. Dealership has done 100% of all maintenance and repairs including tire replacement, tune ups, etc.

The paint is peeling off of my Pilot. It is only 6 years old. Worried about potential rust and compromise of the integrity of the car. Honda will not take responsibility though it is a well-documented problem.

Large section of white diamond pearl paint peeled away from the roof of vehicle between the windshield and the sunroof. Further searching on the internet indicates this is a widespread defect from the factory and Honda refuses to acknowledge their is an issue. This has been reported across the Honda line with white vehicles from their Alabama plant. I have personally seen 2 other white Pilot with same peeling in my area alone along with many photos from other owners across the country.

The paint on my white 2013 Honda Pilot began to fail in 2017. The paint has failed and was literally peeling off in sheets between the windshield and moonroof. It's very clear this is a manufacturing issue since there are thousands of white Honda vehicles experiencing paint failure.

My car has a problem with the sun visors, which should be latched and out of the way while driving, dropping down blocking the drivers view causing a serious problem. (the problem exists when the car is in motion especially if driving on a rough or repaired road.)

My 2013 Honda Pilot has paint peeling off. The paint is missing off from the roof between the windshield and the sunroof. It started out small didn't think anything of it until more started falling off. I started searching online and noticed others having the same problem. I emailed Honda and they are not acknowledging the problem and said I'm out of my warrenty. There is definitely a defect in the paint that was used.
