#2864 of 3189 Re: 2006 Pilot strange noise [kipk] by bigdadi118 May 26, 2008 (8:13 am)
Replying to: kipk (May 26, 2008 2:53 am) Once they touched the wheel(s), they have to take care of it free if you found the alignment is off. It is possible they messed the alignment during procedure. If they won't do it free then complain to the Honda regional office. The service manager needs to respond to you due to pressure from Honda customer service. The key point is "Did the repair job involve the wheel?", which in your case, it is.

Replying to: bigdadi118 (May 26, 2008 8:13 am) thank you both. They are closed today. I'll give the service advisor a call tomorrow.
#2866 of 3189 Rear brakes vs. Front brakes by rodut May 26, 2008 (2:39 pm)
Replying to: kipk (May 24, 2008 2:37 am) Kipk, do you see an obvious difference between the front rotors and the rear rotors ? I am asking because after 600 miles (since brand new) the rear rotors still are not perfectly clean (like a mirror). The front rotors were perfectly clean after the 1st day !   It looks like the rear brake pads barely touch the rear rotors, like 99% of the braking would be done by the front brakes.   Did somebody else had the REAR brake rotors not perfectly clean after 600 miles ???   Thanks Replies to this message: kipk (May 27, 2008 3:30 am)

Replying to: rodut (May 26, 2008 2:39 pm) Rodut,   A higher % of the braking is done by the front brakes. If your car goes for a while without a bath, you can see more of that reddish-gray brake dust accumulated on the front wheels than the rear ones. There is "valving" in the brake system to deal with all that.   I'm pretty sure the brake shoes actually drag on the rotors a tiny amount, even when the brakes are not being applied. (for what that's worth) Also believe there is no adjustment for the brakes, as in days of yore. All that is built in these days.   Just looked at mine, and they appear to be the same degree of clean. But mine have about 30K miles on them.   Kip
#2868 of 3189 e-85 by carat414 May 27, 2008 (6:48 am)
My son accidently put 14 gallons of e-85 in my 2005 Honda Pilot. I called the dealership and was told that it shouldn't cause any major issues that I should drive it out as soon as possible and replace it with high grade gas when I get to a half a tank. This morning on the way to work my VTM-4 light and the engine light both came on. I don't hear any difference in the motor sound or in performance.   Any suggestions?????

Replying to: carat414 (May 27, 2008 6:48 am) E-85 will do that to an engine not calibrated for flexible fuel. But if you run it out and put regular gas back in from now off, those lights should eventually go off on their own, although it may take a while.
#2870 of 3189 Thank you by carat414 May 28, 2008 (7:46 am)
Thank you. It's a mistake that I will never let happen again.   It really freaked me out driving on the freeway and suddenly having all the lights start glowing in my face.
#2871 of 3189 Re: Pilot problem [cecill] by scooter28 May 28, 2008 (2:50 pm)
Replying to: cecill (Apr 28, 2008 12:07 pm) I have a 2003 Honda Pilot with 66,000 miles on it. I was having the same problem. I took the vehicle in to the dealer and found out that I had a bad EGR valve. Once it was replaced, the problem was fixed. I also read online that this can also be caused by running the car on too many short trips which doesn't allow the engine to fully warm up. This same website also indicated that if you don't change the oil at the routine scheduled times this can also occur. So try longer trips and making sure to change the oil as scheduled. If that doesn't work you may want to have your EGR valve checked out. Hope this helps.

#2873 of 3189 30K mile service? by jenniferspence May 31, 2008 (9:24 am)
My 2007 4wd Pilot has about 29K miles, and I'm wondering what we'll need to do at 30K. I can't find any list of recommended service in the manual, and I've read that you should just do things as the MM tells you to. However, I'll be on a roadtrip at roughly the time that I hit 30K, and worry about whether I should be proactive to get the work done. My dealer offers a 30K maintenance package, but charges almost $500, which seems like a bit of a rip-off. Can anyone tell me what I need to have done at 30K? Thanks!
