Some mechanical device has to tell the computer or transmission the angle of the vehicle. That information would then be handled by the software or transmission logic. At this time if I start down a slight grade from a stop, the transmission will not shift into 5th gear till I reach the bottom of the hill. Even if I go 60 mph. It is nothing but a gas guzzling feature to me.

No it doesn't.
 
The fact that the car is receiving X amount of throttle but isn't speeding up or maintaining f(x) speed, then it knows it's on a grade. Conversely, if you are applying the brakes x amount, and aren't decelerating f(x) amount, the car can recognize the downhill grade.
 
In the amount it "guzzles" gas, its likely saving you that much in brakes.

99 Toyota Sienna -Brake pedel has humms by mike334

When I press on the brakes the pedel its makes a high pitch humming sound.
Took to dealer and checked ABS and flushed brake line.
Didn't fix problem. The sound will stop if I pump the brake pedel.
However, it will do it again when I press on the peddle. It happens every 7 out of 10 times I push on the brakes.
Any ideas as to what the problem is or where to start?

Windows left open by hanzero

Question first: Has anybody had an experience of finding all the windows and sunroof left open when you came back to your new Pilot?
 
I had to shop at a mall for several hours today. I had parked my new Pilot (EX-L RES) in the parking lot before dark and then came back to the car when the mall was closing and found that all the windows and sunroof of my car left open. I never opened the windows and sunroof today so I am 100% sure they were shut. I remote opened the doors from a distance so I do not know whether the doors were also left open. I do not know either how long my car was left that way in the parking lot. So far, there have been no issues this 1 month old car. Today, I was driving in rain in the morning - I am wondering if this weather condition might have caused this or if a remote key from someone else might have triggerred this.
 
I believe that the power should be on at least briefly before the windows can be operated. I have no idea how the power can be on without me inserting the key.
 
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you had any issues recently with water in your Pilot - that may have caused electrical shorting? Just a thought.

Push the unlock button, then push and hold the unlock button on the second push. It should open all of those things. I bet you held it a while.

Absolutely no issues with water. I had to let one of the doors open a few seconds in light rain to put my daughter in her car seat.
 
Rain might have been a problem, but I am wondering what other reasons can be.
 
Thanks, anyway.

Yes - once. I almost didn't notice because I have those plastic window things (can't remember the name right now) on all windows. Anyway, all were opened about 2 inches including the sunroof - I swear I never left anything open. I've never forgotten that and I'm glad you posted about it because I thought I was going crazy. I have a 2009 Pilot Touring, by the way.
 
What might have caused this to happen?
