#222 of 3189 Many problem Pilot by goget Jul 14, 2003 (4:53 pm)
Called dealership again this morning, they put the new computer in, now the doors will not lock, they think the door lock motor is burned out. They say the car is running. Now they think the car could have been hit by lightning! Sounds like a cop out to me, to where they can put it back on my insurance. Went by this pm after work, all the service department was in a meeting, was told I could wait. Left as it was a very hot day and I wanted to get home. This is beginning to sound like a case for an attorney.

From what you have said, you may be right. I know that there are lemon laws in many states that you might be able to take advantage of. It is too bad that you have had such a bad experience with the Pilot. It seems that although some have had minor problems, they have generally been quite happy. Is there a possibility of the dealer switching you to a new Pilot and upgrading you to make the situation whole? Or has the entire experience soured you to the Pilot and Honda. Good luck and let us know what you choose and what happens.

perhaps you can call the company that makes the nav for Honda, as they have a trouble shooting line. Honda customer service has this number. I hope you also tell Honda customer service about your problem, as the more people that call in will create the basis for recall if necessary. Good luck!
#225 of 3189 liftgate problems by iceranger Jul 17, 2003 (7:19 pm)
I have a black Pilot and in the hot Texas sun, the decorative "third eye" plastic trim at the top of the liftgate must have warped. So when I opened the liftgate they collided and scraped the plastic and metal roof where they meet. The gate won't open very far now when it's hot outside. PLUS everything is all scraped up. I'm taking it to the dealer tomorrow.

I have that same problem too. The plastic spoiler not only rubs on the roof when the hatch is open, but is sometimes gets caught in the gap while closing. It only happens to mine when the temp is 90F or hotter outside.   I took it in, they confirmed the problem and ordered a new plastic spoiler. The problem is that this item is back ordered with the manufacturer and they can't even give me a ballpark estimate of when it will be in. In the mean time, every day it scratches a little more of the roof.   Please let me know if you get yours replaced in a timely manner, I'm curious.   -Thanks!
#227 of 3189 SRS light by atl_resident Jul 24, 2003 (8:12 pm)
Brand new EXL. Took it to the dealer a week later to get the mirror upgraded. When they returned the pilot I noticed that the SRS light stayed on.   Why would anyone mess with the SRS system to change the mirror ? It baffles me, when an external item like the mirror is changed the SRS light on the pilot comes on.   Anyone have similar experiences? Now the dealer wants me to drop off the pilot for a day to fix something that was not broken in the first place !!
#228 of 3189 mirror by silverpilot03 Jul 25, 2003 (5:19 am)
I put in my own rearview mirror/compass. Unlike the leather steering wheel, which I also installed, there was NO reason to be near any SRS items/wiring. Unless they accidentally pulled out a wire in the 9 pin connector that the mirror wire is inserted into, I cannot come up with a reason as to why the light is now on.
#229 of 3189 Slow Clock by sjwsmw Jul 25, 2003 (7:53 am)
While I was researching my Pilot purchase, I saw a single post of someone complaining of a clock that lost time. Now that I have a Pilot, I have noticed the same thing. At my 7,500 mi service, I synched it up with the official time and now at 10,000 mi, I am 3 minutes behind.   Anyone else seeing this? Thanks.
#230 of 3189 Slow Clock by 01r1 Jul 25, 2003 (9:26 am)
Yes, mine too. It seems like I bump it up a minute every month. If memory serves me correctly, all my past Hondas were that way too.
#231 of 3189 Strange noise from radio by mrquisp Jul 25, 2003 (10:12 am)
Was wondering if anyone else experiences this... upon starting, and having the radio on a AM station, I get this low hum/whirr for a few seconds... with the pitch getting higher until it goes away. Only happens when they car has been sitting there for a while, such as at the end of the day at work, and only on AM. I do have the navigation system. What could be causing this?
