2012 Honda Pilot EX-L 4dr SUV 4WD w/Rear Entertainment (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Love my 2012 Pilot I traded in a 2007 Pilot and love it also. The only problem I have is that in the 3 months that I've owned it, I have 4 chips in my windshield. I didn't have one on the 2007 windshield. Driving the same roads at the same speeds. Is this due to the way the windshield slope or lack there of? Just curious if anyone else has this problem.
Seems Like Honda's Getting Worse

2012 Honda Pilot EX-L 4dr SUV 4WD w/Rear Entertainment (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Honda used to mean reliability.
Now not as much, maybe that is a better reason to get an Acura.
My 2012 Pilot EXL with 70 miles (yes first week) is having an ignition problem.
When you turn the key to turn the car on, it cranks then struggles and sometimes dies sometimes starts.
The second time I try it typically starts.
Not sure that the resolution will be, will post an update if … possible.
