Can't Shut Off All the Beeps!!!

I've owned this car for quite a while and although it’s a sturdy and dependable car - everything beeps and you can't shut it off. Every time you press any button there is automatic auto feedback - you know - I've realized that I've pushed a button and I don't need the car to tell me. Also, the beeps are very loud and there is no way to adjust the volume or to shut off the function. So, I wind up not using most of the stuff because it just beeps all the time. I use my iphone instead. Honda should fire the engineer that designed all the beeps you can't shut off. As an update to this review, I haven’t found a way to shut off the beeps. I would not recommend this car and wish I never bought it.

The Pilot is a decent SUV. The acceleration is pretty good for an SUV though you really have to rev it if you want the full power of the startup torque. Highway driving is fun with this vehicle as the gear changes are smooth. Spacious interior with quality leather and the foldable backseat help since I carry heavy equipment with the work I do. I don't really use the entertainment much unless I have friedns with me. The Nav system works well and efficiently. My only issue with the vehicle was for a while, the Hold button on my key wasn't opening the trunk and I had to do it manually. Then a week later, it would work, and then stop working. But now it seems that problem is gone.

I have a 2012 Honda Pilot Touring that I purchased in 2018 from a friend in NC. The vehicle only had 60,000 miles on it and it was 6 years old. Some wear and tear on the body and some other items that needed attention. Overall it was in great shape and had never seen a winter. I’ve taken great care of it and have added some interior and exterior touches.
