#50 of 3222 Loud Thunking Noise...A/C by avcii2 Dec 23, 2002 (6:06 am)
I also experienced the loud thunk when I turn the air conditioning on, but only while the car is warming up. I now wait until the car is warm and I am moving before I turn the system on, and I do not encounter the problem. I would like the option of turning on the heat without using the A/C, but it seems that I must turn the system on first and then hit the A/C button to turn the A/C off. It used to be the other way around on my other cars. Replies to this message: vks (Jan 23, 2006 6:47 am)

We've had our Pilot for about 2 weeks & about 1000 miles. We're beginning to notice the same problem. Takes 2 or 3 tries before it starts. If anyone gets this problem solved - please post.
#52 of 3222 Homelink Transmitter by bdubin1 Jan 01, 2003 (8:34 am)
Sorry if this topic has already been covered - but I couldn't find a thread so here goes..   I'm having problems programming the Homelink transmitter in my Pilot EX. My garge door opener uses the rolling codes. I've been able to program my Acura and Jeep Homelink systems - but not the Pilot's. Has anyone run into this problem?

I too had difficulty at first. I had to clear the existing settings first and then they took just fine. You do have to hold the button in for a second or two with rolling code recievers for it to work.

I got my Pilot EX delivered on Monday. Ride is very good but I have a problem with front passenger door which doesn't close properly with normal force, I have to use extra force to close it. service person says nothing wrong with the door you just have to use extra force to close it and also told me alignment will change if they try to fix it, which may cause wind noise. Should I be concerned about this problem and has one had similar problem/any suggestions.

It is a fine line between a door being a nice tight fit vs. not closing as nicely as we might like. Look in the door jamb and you will usually see a "u" shaped door striker that is adjustable. Only a very slight movement in or out will make the door tighter or looser closing. I think if it does not improve as the vehicle breaks in, if you complain again they will adjust it for you. I assume the other doors all close to your liking, so you can tell them to make the bad one like the others. You should only get wind noise if they loosen it too much. Mike

Does the Pilot have the same 3.0 V6 that the new Accord has? I have experienced the same starting problem on my '03 Accord EX V6 as well as the loud clunking sound when you turn on the A/C. My dealer has replaced the fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator all to no avail.
#58 of 3222 Pilot EX engine trouble by gachar Jan 07, 2003 (2:34 pm)
My Pilot EX dumped all it's oul in my driveway at 5000 miles. It was towed to the dealership and they found that the timing belt was bad and destroyed some seal. After they fixed it, they found that 2 of the valves were bent. It was fixed too. The whole thing took 1 week. All this with no loaner. This policy of honda sucks. I had atleast 7 problems in my pilot when I took delivery. Most of them are not fixed yet because of the lack of parts. It has been 4 months. The inconvenience this vehicle has caused me is very annoying (4 trips to the dealer so far). Every time I need to drop off the vehicle, have some one pick me up and get a ride to work. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE.
