Vibration Defect in 2006 4WD Honda Pilots

Re: Interior Vibration [darrickh]

Written by: danielle3 on Jun 13, 2008 04:24 PM

I recently purchased a 2006 Pilot EX and am experiencing the same issue. It sounds like deep bass coming from the rear of the car and only occurs when the car is stopped. As soon as the car accelerates or the driver's side door is opened, the noise subsides. The sound is almost deafening and I'd like to get this figured out. I've had it looked at twice now at the local ... Read More...

2009 vs 2006 Pilot

Written by: rexf on Jun 09, 2008 10:53 AM

Hello: I'm just back from viewing and driving a 2009 AWD Pilot Touring with RES. I currently drive a 2008 Pilot EXL AWD. Wow. They have improved the Pilot in every way. The gauges are more readable and there is more information. The shifter (while some may say it's not in an ideal location - but I won't say that) is in a much better location. The rear seat head rests are ... Read More...

Re: Pilot odometer issue/mileage overage [cokejim]

Written by: parviz on May 28, 2008 05:28 PM

There was a class action law suit against Honda regarding faulty odometers. Apparently it showed more than actual. The suit was settled and Owners of 2006 and previous years Hondas of certain models got 5% mileage allowance on their warranty and lease use. Original owners and owners of record were sent notifications from Honda to that effect. That covered my ... Read More...

Re: 2006 Pilot strange noise [kipk]

Once they touched the wheel(s), they have to take care of it free if you found the alignment is off. It is possible they messed the alignment during procedure. If they won't do it free then complain to the Honda regional office. The service manager needs to respond to you due to pressure from Honda customer service. The key point is "Did the repair job involve the ... Read More...

Re: Please advise on MP3/iPod link for 2006 PILOT-EXL [autumncat]

Written by: rsharp on Aug 17, 2006 05:15 AM

I jued an fm transmitter with my iriver mp3 player and it worked fine. It was just a hassle to mess with. Two weeks ago I gave my Pilot to my wife and got a new Fit. Although there are no radio controls on the steering of the Fit (which was a big issue for me) the stereo in the Fit Sport models blows the Pilot's stereo away. In pretty much every respect the Fit system is way ... Read More...

Honda Pilot Maintenance and Repair

Re: Sorry [rodut]

Written by: tiacia on Apr 24, 2008 06:32 PM

Hi Rodut -- Be careful with the Honda Pilot. The Pilots tend to make a knocking sound at the very back each time you hit the breaks. It comes from the gas tank, and you can hear the gasoline swishing. These noises are heard from within the car. I did not hear those noises until 1-1/2 weeks after I bought it. Honda claims this is normal, therefore is not able to do anything ... Read More...

2006 Honda Pilot Engine 25,000 km Dealer Damaged

Re: 2006 Honda Pilot Engine 25,000 km Dealer Damaged [yyc_06pilot]

Written by: trmend1 on Apr 19, 2008 02:18 PM

It may or may not be. My advice would be to have your vehicle inspected by at least 2 other independant mechanics, one of them being another Honda Dealership. Just inform the others of the situation, but not the details on what happened. This way you will hopefully get the most honest appraisal for repairs and potential long term issues. Have these appraisals and ... Read More...

2006 Honda Pilot Engine 25,000 km Dealer Damaged

Written by: yyc_06pilot on Apr 19, 2008 01:46 PM

My Honda Pilot with 25,000 kms was damaged by the dealer when changing a timing belt underwarranty that they claimed I needed. The engine was hand turned and started without it being timed. The dealer will only replace 6 intake valves (no grinding or lapping). Does this sound like an adequate fix? Will I have engine problems down the road? Read More...
