#182 of 3189 Legal/Financial Advice by felicegreene Jun 03, 2003 (12:31 pm)
HELP! I leased a Honda Pilot and the finance manager put the lease amount in for a lower price than we talked about. What are my legal rights? Do I have to legally redo the contract? I've had the vehicle for over 3 months. American Honda Finance says NO. An contract is a contract but the dealerships's lawyer disagrees and is not a very nice person.

If they signed it, too bad for them. I take it the lease is through American Honda? If so, ultimately it's their money - the dealer's probably just pissed because they are losing part of their profit because of the mistake. I'm sure that if the error were in the other direction they would fight to leave it as is. Good luck.

AHF is who you have the agreement with, not the dealership. The dealership cannot take you to court since they are not the one leasing you the car. They were simply the middleman. If they screwed up the numbers, that's their loss.   This subject has recently come up over in the "ask dealer a question" (or something like that). You should post this over there, too. Zeus handles these cases all the time. He'd be able to tell you right away. But I'm pretty damned sure you are fine and they are just blowing smoke and trying to scare you into signing a new contract.

Zueslewis is a HUGE help for people here in Edmunds and his advice on this issue would go a long way for you. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
#186 of 3189 Another thumping sound with the brakes by kkmsj Jun 05, 2003 (9:15 am)
The thumping sound occurs when you apply the brakes for the first time after changing direction, going from reverse to forward and visa-a-versa. We took it to the two dealers here in CA and they informed us that it happens when the brake shoes wear down on some Pilots and Odysseys. We have 12K miles on ours. They went on to say its normal and has to do with the ABS design and there is nothing wrong with the brakes. This is our first Honda and we love it with the exception of a thumping sound from the brakes.
#187 of 3189 I got da thump too by sjwsmw Jun 05, 2003 (12:38 pm)
Took mine in for the 7500mi service and they said it was due to the pads when cold and Honda was aware of the issue. They are working on it was what they said.
#188 of 3189 Rear Window wind noise is only part of the problem by larrybb Jun 05, 2003 (4:18 pm)
I agree with the wind noise "Buffeting" when the rear windows are open - but try opening the windows if you are driving above 45 MPH. Not only do you hear the wind noise and feel the buffeting, but the pressure change upon opening the windows is bad enough to pop your ear drums. It is actually painful - and it does not neutralize. The pressure variation continues until the window is closed. Honda denies any such problem - but when i ask if they have test driven the vehicle they wont answer. I plan to bring the car to my dealer and take the service manager for a test drive.

Most cars will make some noise with the rear windows down - but I agree the Pilot sounds like a helicopter. Try cracking open the front window. Eleviates the pressure somewhat.

Wind Buffeting: That's the same problem with the CR-V. Honda knows ---- Honda don't care
#191 of 3189 Buffeting w/window open... by buckeyedon Jun 07, 2003 (4:29 pm)
Probably the age-old problem of opening one rear window on most vehicles...air pressure differenciations is the cause. Typical sound: a fluttering whomp-whomp-whomp at fairly high speed (150 to 200 times/minute or more). To cure, open another appeture (crack front window),and whomping more than likely will stop. In Olden Days, when cars had those front "wing" windows, just cracking the wing window would do the job. Short of opening 2nd appeture, ain't no way whomping will unwhomp.
