#162 of 3189 clicking in the right lower dash by silverpilot03 Apr 29, 2003 (4:30 pm)
I searched the post and read about "THE" clicking sound. I want to confirm with someone who had it, and, had it fixed. The noise I hear is a clear click-it sounds just like the dash cruise button being engaged. It happens almost anytime, but normally on slight bumps and can occur many times in a minute. I hope this is not the weld problem since I have s/n 71300 produced on Feb. 16th 2003. Any guidance is appreciated since my dealer has never heard of another compliant on this noise
#163 of 3189 headlights by silverpilot03 Apr 29, 2003 (4:34 pm)
Brews - I also replaced the bulbs with a European spec Philips bulb. It rated 159 in a european magazine's test. The Sylvania bulb rated 153, so very close. Surprisingly, some of the better aftemarket bulbs failed right out of the box and when they did work, they only scored 120+-. I did not think the bulb made much difference. For my situation, the adjustment made the biggest improvement. Were the enclosures the dealer offered a new design or just new? Replies to this message: mountainman5 (Oct 23, 2005 1:42 pm)
#165 of 3189 Pillar marks from seatbelt by silverpilot03 Apr 29, 2003 (4:39 pm)
I noticed marks from the seatbelt on the A pillar. Thinking my wife had done this, I sort of blamed her for letting the belt FLY back like she does in her Civic. Well, when I gently let the belt go the last few inches and saw it make a white mark, I ate crow. The plastic marks EASILY. Just scuff the pillar with the PLASTIC part of the buckle and it will mark. Has anyone else seen this, or had the dealer comment on the problem? After 7 years the Civic's pillar still looks new despite years of sub-sonic hits from the buckle. I also checked a friend's Odyssey. It did not mark either.
#167 of 3189 Pillar Marks from Seat Belt by cheermom1 Apr 29, 2003 (5:23 pm)
I know exactly what you are talking about. I have had my Pilot since October 2002 and within the first week of ownership I noticed the marking as well. When I took it in a few days after delivery to have a defective weld on the front strut repaired, I brought up the issue. The dealer told me that they did not carry replacement panels and they didn't have knowledge of this being a problem at that time.Six months and 14,000 miles later, you can imagine how marked up it is -- looks cheap. My biggest problems are minor: rear a/c vents break easily when kids hit them with their feet, poor headlight visibility, sloshing gas tank noise. I also have found it difficult to retrieve dropped items between the drivers seat and the center console.

Did the weld problem start as a clicking sound? It seems like it is in the cabin, but since the strut tower is just outside the cabin, the noise might sound like it is actually inside. Was the weld at the top of the strut tower? I will presume that they will remove the strut for the weld. An alignment should have also been required after such a repair.
#169 of 3189 SRS Light by tscivolette Apr 30, 2003 (5:35 am)
My Pilot has 13,000 on it. The SRS light has now come on 3 times. The first time I was told that my aftermarket XM radio could be the cause. The second time I was told that putting anything on the passenger seat could set off the sensor. I questioned the service people about this.I find it absurd that you cannot place a purse or a bag of groceries on the front passenger seat without the SRS light going on and having to be reset by the dealer. Sure enough I was on my way to the gym and picked my gym bag off the floor onto the seat to get something out and the light came on again. Has anyone had this problem? Does anyone find this be be absurd?
#170 of 3189 Strange drivers floor shape by sjwsmw Apr 30, 2003 (11:10 am)
Enjoy my Pilot but some quirky things can be annoying. In addition to the usual ones, gas tank sloshing and lack of obvious ammenities, I found the design of the floor on the driver's side annoying now. At first, I thought the raised left foot resting pad was a smart idea. But now after 3 months of ownership, the carpet is showing wear. The floor mat doesn't protect that part of the floor. I ended up getting a thin vinyl floormat and putting it under the carpeted mat extending it over the raised pad. It seems to be working fine. Oh well, can't have everything I guess.
#171 of 3189 thump on break release by pbourbou May 01, 2003 (5:22 pm)
I have the same problem you outlined in your posting #156. I heard this as soon as I brought the car home and thought nothinf of it just like you. I will bring it up to my dealer when I get over there. I also heard this in my cousins Pilot also.
