#2888 of 3188 Re: Changing oil/shifting D to D2/overall power of car/tire inflation [needacar41] by tiacia Jul 02, 2008 (5:52 pm)
Replying to: needacar41 (Jun 30, 2008 3:20 pm) Hi needacar41 --   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 

Replying to: mrrube1 (Sep 07, 2007 12:57 pm) did you ever find a fix for this? I am having a very similar problem with a 2004 pilot.   thanks.
#2890 of 3188 2003 Pilot Door Lock Fault? by ross22 Jul 03, 2008 (9:14 am)
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 Replies to this message: parviz (Jul 07, 2008 2:58 pm) ross22 (Jul 07, 2008 5:30 pm) parviz (Jul 09, 2008 12:20 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: ross22 (Jul 03, 2008 9:14 am) How old is your battery. This may be far fetched but someone who had the same problem told me the problem went away after getting a new battery.

Replying to: parviz (Jul 07, 2008 2:58 pm) thanks, but the battery was new in Feb and the problem developed after that. I took it to the shop and was told its an actuator. Now I need to figure out what that is, how much it is and how do I replace it. the shop wants about $150.00 for parts and labor. I'd like to do it myself if its pretty easy.

Replying to: ross22 (Jul 07, 2008 5:30 pm) If you feel comfortable taking the door inside cover apart it should be a very simple job to replace the part. The actuator is a little electronic part that is screwed on the door and a set of wires connect to it. You may even be able to find a used one for a good deal from a used car part shop but since eectronic parts are usually non-refundable I would only buy a used one if it cost a fraction of a new one.

Replying to: parviz (Jul 09, 2008 12:20 am) that is great news and info. thank you very much. I've already taken the interior of the door apart once trying to troubleshoot it.   thanks again.
#2895 of 3188 Honda Pilot after the accident by seaspotsranch Jul 09, 2008 (2:56 pm)
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.

Replying to: cecill (Apr 28, 2008 12:07 pm) Had a dealer repair the Honda. It was a broken wire to the Knock Sensor. Very small, un-supported wire. Part was only $7.00 but it cost $430 to replace it. Had to take the intake manifold off. Dealer coudn't explain why the VTM-4 lite came on but it doesn't anymore. Just ordered a Chilton Repair Manual. Fix things myself hereafter.

Replying to: cecill (Jul 11, 2008 1:45 pm) Absolutely ridiculous to charge $430 to remove and re install the intake manifold. Recon some of that time involved the diagnostics.   Wondering if that wire just might fall into the EPA "emissions" category. Think there is a separate warranty with that.   Might be worth checking out.   Kip
