#992 of 1070 Master Key Battery by markbres Mar 26, 2009 (5:27 am)
Just curious, but has anyone noticed that the life of the master key battery is short? We bought our pilot last summer, and the replacement battery I put in the key a few months ago already seems to be running down.
#993 of 1070 2009 Pilot Seat belt Chime by sonnyd Mar 30, 2009 (8:27 am)
Hello everyone, I just purchased 2009 Pilot EX-L RES. A week old. I need to know how to turn off seat belt indicator. It chimes every 20 seconds when your seat belt isn't buckled. I know it's for a safety reason to remind you to buckle up. But still it's very annoying. Any suggestions!!!!!!

Replying to: sonnyd (Mar 30, 2009 8:27 am) Suggestion would be to wear your seat belt!!!! As far as I know, this can't be turned off.

Replying to: sonnyd (Mar 30, 2009 8:27 am) Buy an extra spare seatbelt buckle from dealer or junkyard. Seatbelt on or not can determine dead or alive ... I do hope you have long time to enjoy the Pilot.

Replying to: sonnyd (Mar 30, 2009 8:27 am) Just wear the thing. There's no logical reason not to do so!
#997 of 1070 Braking distance question... by nucargurl Mar 31, 2009 (8:33 am)
From Edmunds test drive "Most distressing, however, are the braking distances exhibited by our Pilot at the test track. The Pilot came to a halt from 60 mph in 149 feet — that's 15-20 feet longer than most competitors. There's strike three, and we simply cannot recommend a vehicle that stops in such a distressing distance (other than a heavy-duty pickup). In regular driving, the brakes actually feel good, with a firm, reassuring pedal, but it's a false sense of security."   Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Replying to: nucargurl (Mar 31, 2009 8:33 am) I can only speak specifically to the second half of the quote. In normal use, the Honda braking is my favorite of any of the vehicles I have owned in the last 10 years. It is more nature feeeling and responsive than our Toyota Sienna, our previous Lexus RX300 or Camry or my old Explorer. Every time I have to drive the Sienna now I really feel the difference -- the Pilot is a much nicer drive. My wife usually drive's the Sienna and says the same thing when she drives the Pilot.   I have had to do sudden braking a couple times since we bought it and it responded very well both times -- absolutely no complaints. I did not get on a test track and formally accelerate to 60 then slam the brakes and count feet.

Replying to: nucargurl (Mar 31, 2009 8:33 am) Remember, one of the biggest parts of braking is actually the tires, and Honda tends to use low-rolling resistance (read: low grip) tires for better fuel economy.

Replying to: thegraduate (Mar 31, 2009 9:03 am) I'm a girl. What does that mean?? Should I change out the tires? To what?   Replies to this message: thegraduate (Mar 31, 2009 11:27 am)

Replying to: nucargurl (Mar 31, 2009 10:49 am) I wouldnt go so far as to go ahead and replace them, just know that your Pilot doesn't stop on a dime. It still will stop better than many of the several-year old vehicles out there, and do so in a much more stable fashion.
