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 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: thegraduate (Mar 31, 2009 9:03 am)  What does that mean?? Should I change out the tires? To what?

We took delivery of our 4WD 09 Touring w/Res last Saturday. We love it! On Wednesday I took it to a local carwash (I have taken all my vehicles here) to remove salt/sand from the late season snow we just received. It was raining yesterday and I went to turn on my rear wipers and I heard this grinding noise. I looked back and the window was still wet. I tried again and saw that the wiper blade was gone and now have a half circle scratch on my rear window where the wiper blade should be. I was sick, this car was only 5 days old. We called our salesperson and he told us that this was the 5th one that he has replaced and that Honda was aware of the problem. He ordered us a new blade and would look at my rear window on Monday when they install the blade. I think they should have to replace the rear glass as well, since this is clearly a manufacture defect with the broken blade. Has anyone else had this problem?

A reporter wants to interview someone who drives a 3-row crossover, has kids and plans to drive the vehicle to a vacation destination instead of taking an airplane. If this describes you, please respond to jfallon  edmunds.com by Monday, April 6, 2009 and indicate your vehicle's make and model. Thanks, Jeannine Fallon Coporate Communications Edmunds.com |

I have an 09 Pilot exl and have 10,000 miles on it andd the tire and road noise is getting louder . I took it to the dealership and they said that the tires were wearing correctly and the noise was what was expected from the pilot. The noise did not there when I purchased the pilot or I would not have purchased it. Any thoughts?
