Beware the 2018 Honda Pilot!

Easily the worst car I’ve ever owned. Honda used to be reliable, but this SUV is a mess. Lots of glitches from bad software/hardware. Not a reliable car like they used to be. First one we had was a lemon, second one was only marginally better. Beware the 2018 Honda Pilot!
