Replying to: citivas (May 09, 2009 3:10 pm) Most signficantly, I find it odd that the Pilot is criticized for both MPG and horsepower. The MPG rating is right in line with the other vehicles in the class, and the ones that do better are for the most part smaller in size / weight. I also find it interesting that Chevy has an entire ad dedicated to bashing the Pilot's MPG, when the Traverse gets ONE MPG better. If that's enough to sway you given the reliability histories of the two companies, you are easily swayed. The horsepower is also perfectly adequate. Anything higher would, of course, reduce MPG. I haven't towed anything, but my other vehicle is a 265-HP Maxima, I have a lead foot, and while the Pilot doesn't rocket-start like my Maxima, I don't expect that it should. As for the braking results, I too must abstain. Test results are what they are, but other than the ability to potentially avoid an accident, they say little about real-world driving conditions, and to this point I haven't noticed any issues.

Anyone have any experience with the Hands Free Link system when added as an accessory to a Pilot that did not come with NAV? I'm wondering the following: - ease of operation - location of controls (steering wheel or ceiling) - where does the driver hear the conversation- over existing stereo speakers, or out of a ceiling mounted speaker installed as part of the accessory? - sound quality |

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and have had my Pilot EXL for less than a week! I want to see if anyone else has had a shake in the wheel when braking. I have noticed it if I am braking over 40 mph... not slamming on the brakes, just a "regular" slow down. The wheel shakes/vibrates a bit, and there is a sound from the front that I can't quite describe. (reminds me of hearing a truck brake on the highway going down hill). The car does not veer. The dealer is going to take a look... is there anything I should know? Anyone else having this issue? Thanks in advance for your comments!

Replying to: bbent (Apr 29, 2009 12:54 pm) Other than the vibration/Humming noise the car seems fine. No warning lights at all. It doesnt happen when car is in park and I press on the accelerator. I thought m,aybe it was fan from AC but it happens when AC is on /off. If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know |
