#212 of 3189 Re:Doorlocks by sjwsmw Jul 09, 2003 (8:21 am)
Wow, what quirky behavior. Thanks for the responses. I will try the spare key, and also the remote locking by itself, wasn't aware of that one either. The random auto locking for me is happening after the key is in the ignition, the motor is running usually if I recall.

Is your arm resting on the driver's lock up by the window? That will lock all the doors if it's pressed.
#214 of 3189 similar problem with nav by dorene1 Jul 10, 2003 (5:19 pm)
to mrquisp - I had a similar blank out, tho the screen first showed a message that the CD function was out. It lasted for one day, then repaired itself. Dealer had no clue, so I called customer service. They took down our vehicle # and info., also have an 800 # you can get for the company that makes the nav. Hope yours auto - heals too.
#215 of 3189 Honda investigating headlight output by silverpilot03 Jul 10, 2003 (6:54 pm)
I received a call from Honda today. I had logged a complaint regarding the headlights (see old posts for detail). They were conducting their own investigation regarding the headlights. We might see some TSB and/or change in 2004. Hopefully HONDA will extend any upgrade to 2003 owners with concerns. Although at 100,000+- produced model TYD, this might be a little pricey.
#216 of 3189 Sticking throttle by roooddy Jul 10, 2003 (8:46 pm)
When I depress the throttle I feel a small resistance the first 1/4 inch. The dealer fixed the problem by cleaning the carbon from the throttle body. (9500 miles) He said this is a common problem with Honda 6 cyl and it may happen again. Is this news to all?
#217 of 3189 Side Air Bag off by lb17 Jul 11, 2003 (5:11 am)
The 'side air bag off' light keeps flashing on my Pilot EX-L though no one/nothing is sitting in/obstructing the front passenger seat.   I took it to the dealer I bought it from and after 2 trips and more than 10 hours during which he reset the computer, and then took off the wire connecting the battery temporarily, the light is still on.   I checked with Honda - no recalls, has anyone else had this defect light up?   Other than this, I like the Pilot.
#218 of 3189 Remote by marklud Jul 11, 2003 (5:53 am)
I just hate the old fashioned remote they give with pilot (it's too bulky).Anyone know if you can get the kind that Accord uses (incorporated into the key itself)?
#219 of 3189 Many problem pilot by goget Jul 11, 2003 (9:46 pm)
Bought a Pilot in November 2002. Have already had the Master Cylinder replaced. I travel quite a bit,listen to "books on Cd" Cd player gets so hot the cd's get damaged. Dealer not cooperative on this matter. Car is again in the shop. Last week remote would not unlock the doors. Had to manually unlock the door, when I got in car the motor would not start. Called Dealer from cell phone, no help, called AAA and had it towed in to dealership. Car still there, they have ordered in a new computer part, put that in today, car still not working. They are in contact with tecks, still no answer. Said no to a loaner car, said it is not Honda's policy. I have rented a car, they now say they will help me draft a letter to Honda to get a reimbursement. have been a Honda owner for over 15 years. Has anyone else had these type problems.
#220 of 3189 to dorene1 - regarding Nav issue by mrquisp Jul 13, 2003 (1:47 pm)
What is weird with mine is that my screen is completely blank... nothing. I have heard about the messages saying contact dealer or something to do with the DVD in the system. But mine is completely different. I know if you don't do anything right after starting, it goes blank... but then you just touch one of the menu buttons on the right and you get the opening screen. But with mine, absolutely nothing happens... even if you touch one of those buttons. I have to literally shut down the engine and start it again to have the navigation working. Was wondering if anyone else experienced this problem.
#221 of 3189 goget- by 01r1 Jul 14, 2003 (11:10 am)
I haven't had the problems you mentioned, although a few of my own. But I've always been offered a loaner car (sales demo Pilot) or a rental Accord when the dealer has had to keep my Pilot over night. Maybe you can take it to another dealer and get treated better?
