The paint on top of Pilot just above the windshield and before the sunroof is peeling. I've seen lots of owners having the same problem. I noticed this when I washed the Pilot and saw the paint has bubbles and had chipped already. I have been driving it and noticed there is now a big part of the paint the peeled away.
Upon applying the brake in an avoidance situation, I noticed the spongy feel to the brakes. What concerns me more, is that during the process of the event, the brake pedal settles down to below the height of the accelerator and if your foot isn't square on the brake pedal, you wind up hitting the gas while trying to stop the vehicle.. I need to talk with someone. This is most certainly a defect in design.
We noticed water leaking from the top of the windshield into the interior of the car. Either the seam of the gasket on the exterior of the windshield or the installation of the windshield is defective since it was leaking during a rain storm.
