The water on the floorboard is a real thing. We had the same problem.
Our Pilot had 300k and no issues with the throttle body (cleaned regularly).
Control arm bushings are another issue we had.
These are fantastic cars. Worth getting.
Also, remember to get your valves adjusted and timing belt changed regularly. So general maintenance
My 2004 honda pilot locks but won't beep anymore
I might be getting one for $750 tomorrow depending on how I feel it has 243,000 on it an just needs a wheel bearing. I'm just not sure if I should.
I have a 2005 Honda pilot I bought off auction that had been sitting the recorded miles on it in January of 2015 were 204,534 I bought it in October of 2022 I flew 5 hours 1200 miles to phoenix Arizona and Uber to Copart to pick it up I got in the pilot and it started right up and I drove it all the way back to Oklahoma 1200 miles with zero issues at all I won it on auction for 1700 bucks I absolutely love it it was worth it
Hi, I have a 2006 Pilot with 300k miles. Besides the leaky passenger side, my car does not move until it warms up. Once it warms up, the car drives great for about 15 minutes. The transmission gets hot and the accelerator will not respond. I do not think it is a transmission problem, but something else. Anyone know what it could be? Thank you. btw – love the video
I have 07’ Pilot. The VSA comes on very often upon morning start. I have to shut off and restart up to 5 x to get it to go off. How can I disconnect it permanently
Is this honda all wheel drive?
Well done on the video sir. Bought a 2007 with 195k mi for the daughter (after she forgot to put the oil cap on an Isuzu Trooper and seized the engine…yeah…yikes!). Have just replaced the front control arms (grommets were dry rotted just as you described), struts, rear springs and bump stops, speed sensors, door hold-open mechanisms, and all fluids of course. Now has 218k, has made it to/from TX > CA and am having to address oil leaks – Ft. Solenoid/spool valve assembly [Code: P2646], oil pump gaskets and a proactive timing belt change kit, etc….all to be expected as std. maintenance given age & mileage So far, the car is performing well. Having issue with keeping alignment but the 3 yr alignment by Goodyear has paid for itself. Next…valve cover gaskets, spark plugs and a new PCV valve…just cuz their cheap and easy. Rock-on brutha. Keep up the good work.
What’s with their, that louvers , vent breaking?
I have a pilot 2005 with 270k miles and everything is original expect maintenance never had a issue 😁
05 pilot. Going strong at 345,000 miles. Only had to refurbish transmission and obviously regular maintenance
I have 07 with 305,000 miles its dies while driving and battery needs jumped sometimes battery is new and holds 12v and altenator 14v so I'm sure
Of Course it is!
2004 315,000 miles. Daily driver. Motor mount issue and idle air valve replaced, that’s about it.
I just replaced my radiator at 160,000 miles
Can anyone tell me where I can find the motor/engine vin or model number located ON THE MOTOR, so I can see if the seller switched the motor. & check if it matches whats on the paperwork.
I found a killer deal for one recently and seeing as I go camping and have kids this seems like a good vehicle and for 150k miles and all they want is 3500 dollars, it's throwing no codes at all I think it's a good deal. It's a 2005.
Can you pl due a video about the window control. Thanks 🙏
In the rust belt or other states where snow covered roads are treated with salt check where the rear end is attached to the body. Where the bolts secure the body to the assembly there are cup-like areas that hold water, because there is no drain. These cups literally hold water and rust out.
you're gonna wanna go ahead and make sure of course to go ahead and of course make sure you're gonna wanna go ahead of course and go ahead and make sure obviously you're gonna have gonna have gonna have of course of course of course of course go ahead and make sure of course you're gonna wanna go ahead and make sure obviously you're gonna wanna go ahead and make sure to go ahead.
I have 2005 pilot, 175k, just do regular maintenance. It stalled on me once in 2020 because of bad alternator, otherwise never any issues. Runs like new. Original owner.
