#1320 of 1334 Engine noise/starter??? by rekh Feb 11, 2007 (4:48 am)
I have about 6000 miles on my Pilot and I am hearing a brief noise (about 1-2 seconds) from the engine when I start the vehicle first time in the day(every day) and It won't happen again during the day . The noise is like If you are "Over starting" the vehicle/ or rubbing two metal parts on each other. Can it be from starter? or does it come from another part of the engine? Is it related to cold weather? any idea? Can anybody help, please? Replies to this message: calg (Feb 11, 2007 3:14 pm) rekh (Feb 11, 2007 3:48 pm)

Replying to: rekh (Feb 11, 2007 4:48 am) This noise happens first thing in the morning with our 2006 Pilot only when it is very cold outside... usually below zero. It also happened when we had our 2003 Pilot. I have no idea what it is, but it has never caused us any problems. We had 60,000 miles on our 03 when we traded it and now have nearly 30,000 on our 06. I remember asking a friend who has an 04 and she said hers did it as well. Hope this helps. Replies to this message: rekh (Feb 11, 2007 3:48 pm)

#1324 of 1334 Help an idiot... by cubanpete2 Dec 25, 2007 (11:50 am)
I am currently looking at 2005 and 2006 Honda Pilots to buy. Somehow, I am getting different info from every dealer I talk to. I want Four Wheel Drive. I see Pilots on the street that have "4WD" designated on the left or right of rear door. Some dealers tell me "they're all 4WD" some dealers tell me "you don't need 4WD because they have "all wheel drive" on every one." Can someone please tell me what the story is? I need maximum bad weather and rough road capability, though I don't plan to off-road intentionally. I use a lot of back country roads that aren't always plowed well, have very poor surface etc. and had peace of mind with a Chevy I used to have with 4WD (the rest was garbage...) but I am not getting a straight answer from Honda Pilot sellers. Thanks. CubanPete Replies to this message: parviz (Dec 25, 2007 11:13 pm) tsy (Jan 03, 2008 1:06 am) zman3 (Jan 03, 2008 4:48 am)

Replying to: cubanpete2 (Dec 25, 2007 11:50 am) I own a 2006 Pilot 4WD and here is what I know. Up to and including 2005 model year, all Pilots were built as all wheel drives. From 2006 on, they come in 2WD and 4WD, as you have noticed marked on the right hand corner. There operation is 4wheel drive as needed and determined by the computer unless you switch to on demand 4WD when stuck in mud or rough terrain driving. Someone please correct me if I am missing something. BTW, since you are looking at 05 or 06, depending on the price, see if you can go with 06 model since it changed a bit from the 04/05 model.

Replying to: qbrozen (Sep 19, 2006 5:31 am) We own a 2006 EX with about 11,600 miles on it. We live in the country and though we don't have a lot of traffic to deal with, we do have hilly roads and some 3,000 ft. mountains that we normally navigate. We get 21 mpg consistently under these conditions. Normally we're not heavy on the gas pedal.   We just got back from visiting our kids for Christmas, driving at least two hours at a time, switching drivers; then back on the road. We used major highways, traveling at 55 mph or 65 mph using cruise control. We were pleasantly surprised to get 23.8 mpg and technically, the motor isn't even broken in yet!   We took readings on the return trip and they were consistent with nearly 24 mpg. We dropped down to 20 mpg when we got caught in heavy traffic backups in Chicago, but under those conditions, that wasn't bad. We're happy! I think the trick is to use Cruise when you can and stay at 65. Replies to this message: parviz (Dec 30, 2007 3:52 pm) summer336 (Jan 03, 2008 2:13 pm) parviz (Jan 03, 2008 10:59 pm)

Replying to: markjenn (Sep 18, 2006 7:08 pm) We own a 2006 Pilot EX with 11,600 miles on the odometer. We don't deal with traffic jams, but live in hilly and mountainous terrain. We generally get 21 mpg under these conditions.   We just got back from a trip one way of 800 miles, using major highways. We travel at either 55 or 65 mph as posted and use cruise control. To our happy surprise, we clocked almost 24 mpg---consistently over several fill ups. One tank gave us 20 mpg, but we had hit slow and heavy traffic in Chicago on that tank, creeping along at five and ten miles an hour for 15/20 minute periods. I think the trick is to use cruise and keep your Pilot at 65 mph. I think I read that advice from another post as well. Happy New Year!

Replying to: summer336 (Dec 30, 2007 2:53 pm) Do you have 2WD or 4WD? Replies to this message: summer336 (Jan 03, 2008 2:13 pm) parviz (Jan 03, 2008 10:59 pm)
#1329 of 1334 Problem with backup camera picture quality by parviz Dec 30, 2007 (4:10 pm)
I have an 06 Pilot EXL, 4WD w/ navi. Lately I have noticed that the picture quality on the screen is with some kind of haze or a little cloudy looking. It is not a dirty lense as the haze or the see though clouds are not static, I am not sure if I can describe this any better but I will try if any of you need better explanation. Any ideas what this could be or how to fix it before I have to make to trip to the dealer? It is still under warranty but sometimes I prefer not to take it in unless I have to! Thanks.
