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?

I believe the Honda remote is designed to open all windows and sunroof if, when locked, the remote's unlock button is pressed twice and held down. It is meant as a way to cool off a hot car (left parked in the sun) before you get in it.
 
Maybe by accident (or in a purse or pocket) the unlock button was pushed twice and held either when you left the car or when you approached (but before you looked at the car). I'm not sure what the range of the remote is, but from the description of the open windows and sunroof, it sounds like the button was pushed. Either that or a malfunction.

From reading a few messages, I conclude that I pressed the unlock button twice and held it down accidentally because I cannot think of any other possibilities. With only a few keys in the key chain, I still don't know how this happened.. will just have to be more careful. Yet, I am glad that it might not be an electric problem.
 
Thanks for the ideas.

Tire Vibration by bbent

I just purchased a 2009 Pilot and after driving for a short distance noticed a vibration starting around 35 mph. The dealer has said that it is flat spots that developed on the tires because the car had set on the lot for a few months over the winter (I live in Michigan). Their recommendation is that if a drive the car the flat spots will go away. The car has Goodyear tires, has anyone else had this issue and if so, did the vibration go away. I am a little skeptical.

I had an 09 Pilot I purchased last Nov 08 (east coast) and did not have that kind of problem. Did they rebalance/ check tire pressures?
