Rear Wiper Blade by fastpitch_mom

We took delivery of our 4WD 09 Touring w/Res last Saturday. We love it! On Wednesday I took it to a local carwash (I have taken all my vehicles here) to remove salt/sand from the late season snow we just received. It was raining yesterday and I went to turn on my rear wipers and I heard this grinding noise. I looked back and the window was still wet. I tried again and saw that the wiper blade was gone and now have a half circle scratch on my rear window where the wiper blade should be. I was sick, this car was only 5 days old. We called our salesperson and he told us that this was the 5th one that he has replaced and that Honda was aware of the problem. He ordered us a new blade and would look at my rear window on Monday when they install the blade. I think they should have to replace the rear glass as well, since this is clearly a manufacture defect with the broken blade. Has anyone else had this problem?

A reporter wants to interview someone who drives a 3-row crossover, has kids and plans to drive the vehicle to a vacation destination instead of taking an airplane.

Tire noise by cwsdad

I have an 09 Pilot exl and have 10,000 miles on it andd the tire and road noise is getting louder . I took it to the dealership and they said that the tires were wearing correctly and the noise was what was expected from the pilot. The noise did not there when I purchased the pilot or I would not have purchased it.
 
Any thoughts?

The noise maybe not from the tire. Maybe a bad wheel bearing.

I'm going to take it back another time to the dealer but it certainly makes me regret that I traded my 4 runner with 100,000 miles for this which is my 1st new honda.

Have you verified that the tire air pressure is correct?

09 Pilot 2wd vs. 4wd by pilotmike

Getting close to purchasing a new 09 Pilot and can't decide between 2wd and 4wd. I live in the south so not much snow, but I was still leaning 4wd. I thought 4wd would handle better on wet roads and I don't want any 2nd guessing, but still wonder if it is really worth the extra cash. Thanks for the help.

I think 2WD would be fine. The Pilot is primary front wheel drive under either drivetrain, while the AWD system is an computer controlled, on-demand system. If wet roads is your primary concern, it doesn't seem that the AWD would kick in all that often and that your 2WD would do fine for the most part.

I think the VSA system will do you more good than AWD ever will, living in the south. I'm in Birmingham, AL so I understand!
