#75 of 86 Water gurgling sound in roof area 08 honda Pilot EXL by tacoma50 Oct 06, 2009 (6:18 am)
While driving in heavy rain on the interstate last week at 65 mph, I heard what sounded like water “gurgling” in the roof area around the front or sides of the sunroof. Sort of like the sound of water running down a gutter downspout on your house. But it seems like the wind was keeping it trapped somewhere. If I slowed down, the gurgling noise stopped.   I pulled over under an overpass; I verified that the sunroof was completely closed. Then I opened the sunroof and it looked bone dry around the side channels of the tracks and wherever I could see in there.   When the rain stopped, so did the noise.   Is there somewhere around the windshield or the roof rack where water could get in and make such a noise?   The dealer said he has no idea, and they can only look at it if I can repeat the symptom, but that might be hard to do since they are not real close to an interstate, and it would have to be a heavy rain Replies to this message: matmel04 (Oct 06, 2009 6:39 am) bgambill (Nov 11, 2009 8:57 pm) tacoma50 (Nov 12, 2009 6:08 am) tacoma50 (Nov 30, 2009 4:52 am)

Replying to: tacoma50 (Oct 06, 2009 6:18 am) tacoma50, I thought I heard this same noise in my '09 EX-L yesterday when we got a car wash. There was a bunch of water piled up on top of the sun roof under the moonroof visor and then I heard that draining sound. I would also be interested in what caused it. I hope water isn't leaking in anywhere.

Replying to: lep4 (Jul 09, 2009 9:41 am) Hello. I have this same problem on my 2006 EX that we just bought used. The "thump" sound occurs after breaking almost as if something is hanging loose below the vehicle and "swinging" and hitting the underside.   It is sometimes very faint, but sometimes is louder if we brake harder. There is always a slight delay, for example you break and then 1 second later you hear the thump.   The answer from Carmax (where we bought the car) is that its fuel sloshing in the tank. This seems to make sense, so my test will be to let the tank run pretty low and see if the sound disappears when there is not much fuel left.   I'll let you know how it goes.
#78 of 86 Fog horn like noise from 2006 Honda Pilot by letat Oct 30, 2009 (6:06 pm)
My 2006 Honda Pilot makes this fog horn like sound when the engine is running. Noise occurs at random and at various speed. The noise stops when the engine is turned off and does not resume. Took to the dealer who said it might be the brakes, but noise happens when car is not moving. Took to the mechanic at local gas station, he heard noise and was stumped. Brought car back, could not replicate noise. Said he looked at computer codes and service bulletins and could find nothing. I am getting concerned because noise is happening more frequently. Don't know what to do. Don't want to go back to dealer unless I can point to something specific. Help

Replying to: tacoma50 (Oct 06, 2009 6:18 am) Has the windshield on your Pilot been replaced?   RE: I hear a similar gurgling sound while driving in the rain on my 2003 Pilot after having the windshield replaced by a Honda dealership. I suspect the windshield molding was not installed correctly. The molding has undulations that appear to have been caused by heating during the installation.

Replying to: bgambill (Nov 11, 2009 8:57 pm) >Has the windshield on your Pilot been replaced? Hmm, good point. I am not sure. Let me contact the previous owner and find out. I will report back with my findings. Replies to this message: tacoma50 (Nov 30, 2009 4:52 am)
#81 of 86 Honda Pilot loud bang backing up by krs67 Nov 13, 2009 (2:41 pm)
My 2003 Pilot makes a very loud bang sound when I am backing up. It doesn't seem to happen backing up on flat surfaces (ie a parking lot); but if I back up my elevated driveway it happens every time.   I have taken it in to the dealer at least three times and they can always replicate the noise but have no answers. Has anyone experienced this? Any diagnostics?
#82 of 86 08 Pilot Water Gurggle by windshield by illini2 Nov 25, 2009 (7:28 am)
I have an 08 Pilot SE and every time it rains (a little or a lot) or even a car wash, the passenger side by the windshield on the bottom corner is where I hear water gurgling around when I drive. Sounds like the water is trying to move up the beam to escape. I've brought it in several times for the dealer to check and they check the drain holes and they are clear, they do not know why it is making that sound. They also have one other customer with the same issue. There are no bulletins out there as well. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?? Thanks Replies to this message: tacoma50 (Nov 30, 2009 9:03 am)

Replying to: tacoma50 (Nov 12, 2009 6:08 am) I spoke with the previous owner, and the windshield was never replaced.
