Good ride but Infotainment audio system is a joke

2019 Honda Pilot EX-L 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

The infotainment system has a history of problems and Honda is not seriously dealing with the issue. When my phone is connected by Bluetooth or USB (doesn't matter which) it will start skipping and crackling after a while for no reason - then the audio will stop completely. The screen will say that it is still playing but nothing is heard. You can switch to another audio source but nothing will play. You have to turn the car off to get it to reset. After about 30 minutes it will do it again.

Good car for a family looking for 7 seater

The Honda Pilot is a good SUV. Its spacious cabin includes three rows of adult-sized seats (uncommon in the midsize SUV class) and higher cargo capacity than many competitors. These attributes helped make it a finalist for our 2019 Best 3-Row SUV for Families. There are also plenty of standard active safety features and an available infotainment system that's improved for 2019. On the road, the Pilot is capable and comfortable, making it easy to drive. However, many class rivals have better-predicted reliability ratings.

A vehicle worth waiting for

The Pilot is a fine mixture of pleasant ride and real time capability. It can handle daily commutes and a trip off the beaten path..

I have owned 8 Hondas, the 2019 east a replacement for my leased 2016. I love it so far, it feels softer, quicker and quieter than the 2016. Love it

POOR BRAKES

Brakes are ridiculously slow. Brake response time is very slow even though speed is within 30 miles per hour or less. You literally have to push paddle completely down to the floor and even after that it won't stop immediately. Car stops very slow. So considering situation (driving in street and child pops up in front of car) if you have to stop suddenly you not gonna make it unless you use emergency brake of the car. Honda must fix the issue otherwise someone will lose life for sure. Also, weirdly car moved forward little bit when i just pushed start button to start the car even after brake paddle was pushed down position and touching gas paddle at all. I was bit surprised and thankfully it was in parking lot so didn't hit anyone. I am going Honda dealership to check with them if they can check and do something to make brake more responsive and tight. This is just second day of car and this crap happening. I am bit scared, disappointed and frustrated.
