Yes, Went back to dealer and they said all was normal, Drove another 1000 miles and put a set of Michelin's on and it took care of the issue but my local dealer was no help.

Vibration by bbent
Apr 29, 2009 (12:54 pm)

I have a 2009 Pilot that has a noticeable vibration staring around 30 mph. You can feel it through the seats as if you are sitting in a vibrating chair. Initially the dealership attributed it to the tires, but the tires have been replaced with a new set of Michelins. Although the new tires reduced tire noise and improved handling, they did not eliminate the vibration. Now I am being told this is a characteristic of the car, but I am having a hard time believing that this is the case. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this?

I haven't noticed any vibration at any speed in my 2009 Pilot Touring. It sounds like the typical thing a dealer would say when they can't figure it out. Did they change the type/brand of tires? And did they check your alignment?

I have an 09 Pilot EX 4wd with about 5050 miles on it and NEVER had a vibration either low or high speeds.
 
Ask the dealer who is the Honda Service Rep for your area and discuss your issue.

I am going to pick up my new 09 pilot. What is the acceptable odometer reading on the new vehicle? My is 28km.
 
I have been waiting for my vehicle to arrive for almost 2 months but on the day of picking up my car, the voice of the navi system was not function. I have to wait a couple for the new part. Is it normal? I am concerned.

28km (or about 17 miles) is more than acceptable. My new Accord had over 120 miles on it when I bought it.

My Pilot had 120 miles on it also when it was delivered. I questioned the dealer why and they said it is because of a swap from another dealer to storage lot, then to dealer lot.

Battery self-discharge information. by eteled

Just want share some helpful information I didn’t find anywhere. I measured current drawing from the battery when car is parked. In my case it was new 2009 EX Pilot, 2WD, 1800 miles on the odometer. The data taken would also be useful for the future; if possible problems with the battery rose.
 
Test1. The ignition switch is in LOCK (0) position, the key is in the ignition switch – 156mA
Test2. The ignition switch is in LOCK (0) position, the key is removed – 45mA
 
What does it mean for the owner? If you leave your car in the garage with the key in the ignition switch (which most of us do), the 100% charged 60Ah battery will lost 80% of its capacity within 13 days (or within 45 days without the key). That was theoretical calculation. In addition to that, flooded lead-acid batteries have relatively high self-discharge rate even without any external circuits. It could be 8-40% per month (2-10% per week) depends on how old the battery is.
 
One note for those, who will replicate this test on your car. Right after connecting MM, the current jumps up to 2-3 Amps, then gradually gets down within 10-15 seconds. So, set your MM properly or it could be damaged.

Buying a Honda Pilot 09 EX-L 2wd. by elbeto77

I have received several quotes from the internet departments and most of them have come back with about $29,500 for this model with side steps. Has anyone bought a 2009 Honda Pilot EX-L or EX-L w/RES (rear entertainment system), if so what was the final selling price the dealership sold it for? If anyone has the actual invoice for this vehicle please let me know.
