Replying to: beer4704 (Jul 01, 2008 5:46 am) 1) Regarding leaving it in "D," I guess it's ok if it lugs up a hill, or I drop down to 40 mph & I start smelling funny stuff from the engine? That's what it did last time & I just thought not shifting it to at least D3 was hurting it in some way....Somehow it didn't feel right & still doesn't. 2) I am not afraid to drive a low tire to a service station. When I read the 2008 Honda Pilot manual regarding this issue, it sounded as if the tire was going to burst then & there if I was to drive it any further after the TPMS light went on. When you're not used to a vehicle yet and you read something like that, you're in ultra caution mode, I suppose. (Especially being a female out at 11:30pm at night searching for a gas station.). Again, this is my first SUV (& first Honda) & I know I'll have to learn lots more as I go along. I simply wanted to ask these questions as I know the majority of the people on these boards are obviously more experienced than I.

Replying to: needacar41 (Jun 30, 2008 3:20 pm) After reading your "D" to D2 or D3" issue, I found I was unable to shift also -- When I came to a stop I tried to shift it again -- Within a few seconds the lever finally shifted to D3, then 2, and 1 -- I went for a drive, trying to shift while riding -- It worked -- Yea !! -- It seems like I just had to “break it in” I disagree with the person who said “Put it in ‘D’ and leave it there”…….. I was reading the manual and it did not say anything about not shifting while driving -- It says to “pull the shift lever towards you” when shifting from D3 to 2, or from 2 to 1 It goes on to say to “move the shift lever” when shifting from D to D3, or D3 to D, or 1 to 2, or from 2 to D3 I hope this manual info helps you !! TiaCia  |

I am having problems with the driver's side door lock. Neither the keyless fob or the switch on the door locks or unlocks the door. The other doors work with the fob and the switch. The door seems to be "trying" to lock and unlock when I activate the lock but, the lock seems to almost be sticking. I have removed the inside of the door and I can't identify anything preventing the door from working properly. any suggestions would be very helpful. thanks

A few weeks ago a drunk driver hit my beautiful 2006 Honda Pilot. Fortunately we were not in the car and she was taken to jail. I should be getting my car back tomorrow or the next day. I've missed my navigation and heated seats. Still, we will trade it in and get something that hasn't been in an accident because that is what we do. We are struggling w/ the '09 Pilot pricing. We didn't pay 30K for our EXL-Navi so paying 40K two years later sounds painful. Anyhow, I must say that the Pilot was hit by someone doing at least 50mph. smashed the front fender, door, bent the hood. The cabin on the other hand was in tact. I am amazed and pleased with how the car held up. Had we been in it, we would have been shaken but not injured. A testament to the quality of a Honda.  Maybe the '09 will be worth it.
