In 90k miles -- did you feel like you needed an extended warranty for repairs you had to pay for or if you had a warranty did it pay for itself?

I bought the $250 tubular bars from realtruck.com recommended by "shift". Put them on this morning. The installation went well and they fit and look good, but just as suggested by "commanders" they aren't real helpful because of their position. My 5'2" wife wanted something to make it easier to get in and out but so far she's not saying good things about the new steps. She does suggest they might take some getting used to.......

Did not purchase an extended warranty, and haven't needed it. That's why I bought a Honda for my wife. True, every once-in-awhile Honda builds a lemon. But history indicates that Honda's are pretty reliable. I do my own routine maintenance, and have had zero repairs. Is the Pilot perfect? No. But I value reliability and functionality over price and style. So it will probably be another Pilot for us.

Putting the money toward oil changes, radiator flushes, trans & differential service etc. is the way to go. I learned my lesson on ext. warranties.

I completely agree. I have complained about this before. It is the worst remote range of any vehicle I have ever owned. It may be my biggest gripe about the Pilot in terms of the daily impact on me. They should be ashamed to have put such a poor feature in a call in 2009 when cars in 1994 were doing better...

This kind of Honda`s remote transmitter is a garbage. Honda should be aware of this!!!

I agree, this is easily the worst range on a remote I've ever seen. Another complaint is that it seems that I have to press and hold the button very hard even when close to the vehicle. My other cars require just a very quick tap. I find myself thinking I've locked the car when in fact I have not quite frequently.

Hi. I just bought the cargo cover for my 2010 Touring and I also noticed the same thing. Especially, the right side seat belt pushes against the cover when it is being used. I think it is just poor design on Honda's part.
