Replying to: strokeoluck2 (Oct 13, 2009 4:39 pm) The 03 has a 3 way switch on the dash that will turn on all the interior light in one position. The middle position lets them work automatically when doors open and close, and the 3rd position keeps them from turning on when the doors are opened. Or even if someone tries turning them on manually. The "MAP" lights up front can be turned on, and they stay on, no matter the position of the 3 way switch. . Kip |

Replying to: savegas (Oct 30, 2009 4:56 pm) A lot of $$ to replace a strut. But seems about right in the scheme of how dealers now charge. Might want to try pricing the shocks/struts at one of the "Wholesale" Honda Dealers, such as Majestic Honda. Then find a "Honda/Acura" independent mechanic to do the install. Both of the rear struts on our 03 Pilot are leaking a bit, but the last few months remaining on the 7/75K Honda Care EW is going to replace them. Only 39K on the car right now. How many miles are on your car? Kip

Replying to: kipk (Oct 05, 2009 4:04 am) I have not pinpointed where the noise is coming from. I think it sound like it is coming from the front end of the vehicle but I am not certain because the issue comes on so suddenly when I am not paying attention and it is gone before I can do any real diagnostics. I liken the sound to what you said about driving over those "rumble" grooves on the sides of the roads. The noise almost sounds like the noise that was heard in old 4wd axles that had manual hubs when one hub was not fully engaged. You would hear a vibration noise. The part that really baffles me is that, considering how loud the noise is, I do not feel any sort of vibration through the floor boards, steering column, etc. as I would expect from a drivetrain issue. Please help!!! Jon

Replying to: superjon (Oct 31, 2009 6:12 pm) It will also occasionally do it at slower speeds around 25-35 mph. But doesn't happen as often as at the higher speed. At these slower speeds it seems to growl 3-4 times in a 5 second span. Then it is over. Sure sounds like it is coming from the back. Dealer is replacing the leaky rear shocks in hope they are the problem. I don't have a lot of faith in that "Fix", but am grateful they found the leaks before the EW ends. This car has had a brake "POP" since day one. Applying the brakes when backing will cause the pop, then the first time they are used going forward it will pop again. Then they are fine until used in reverse again. It is like the brake pads are shifting on their pins a bit. I believe there is a TSB for that, but it never was a recall. I'm going to ask the dealer about fixing it. Maybe one of them is vibrating, just from the rotor turning. Grasping at straws here.  Kip
