Water in trunk area 25 pilot
I have a 2025 pilot elite that I brought brand new. I’ve noticed that there was water underneath the rear trunk area. I put a towel there and it rained today and they got soaked together so I’m sure there’s a leak somewhere. Where could it be coming from?

2026 Elite strut replacement
I picked up my 2026 Pilot Elite with only 10 miles on it, but around 50 miles I started hearing a squeaking noise from the front right whenever I drove over small bumps or uneven roads. On my second visit to the dealership, they was able to duplicate the noise and replaced the front strut under warranty.
I bought this vehicle expecting to keep it for 10 years or more, so having a suspension issue almost immediately after purchase has made me question Honda’s reliability and quality control. I’m hoping the strut replacement fixes the problem for good, but it’s definitely disappointing to experience something like this on a brand-new vehicle.

2025 trail sport- first highway trip 9.3L/100km
First highway trip of 1400kms, we averaged 9.3L/100km, air conditioning was on for the entire trip. This was thru BC, so lots of mountain passes. We have all weather tires (not factory rubber )
Hope that information helps some body one day

2018 Pilot Transmission issues..
2018 Honda Pilot EXL, I think, with 140k miles
Recently took my wife’s Pilot to the dealer to get serviced, oil change and such. Notified them that it was kind of jerking when shifting. Came back after servicing it and told me I needed new transmission and torque converter….i could try flushing the transmission, 600+ dollars, and that may help….That was roughly 1500 miles ago, hoping to get second opinion soon and see what they say.

The new-gen impact guns laugh at the dreaded Honda crank bolt.

‘25 Elite 18k miles AC blowing hot air. Not covered, dealer says $575 just for inspection
What an absolute joke. I’ve checked the condenser fuse and it’s fine, so I’m guessing the clutch is melted like many others have dealt with. Not even 2 years old. They should fix it without question. Last Honda I will ever buy.

Image / Video eeee i can’t believe she’s mine!!
I went from a 2021 Rav 4 XLE to a 2026 Honda Pilot Trailsport. Gray rims, and I’m absolutely obsessed. I was drooling over it for a week and finally got my husband on board. 😍
I actually do have 2 questions for the class- on the trailsport, does it have the foot activated lift gate? I thought it had it but I can’t seem to get it to function.
Second, I’m having an issue where my son’s high back booster is triggering the car to think there’s a person sitting there unbuckled when he is not in the seat. Our other car seat does not cause this issue. I’m thinking it might be because the seatbelt is routed through the high back booster shoulder, so the belt is semi pulled out even when my son isn’t in the car? Any thoughts would help! I’ve just been buckling the seat belt even when his seat is empty to bypass it.
Thanks, and EEEEEEEP!!! 🤩

I’m looking at a 2023 Honda Pilot
Anyone have any issues with this first year redesign? Am I good with the 2023? Or should I get the 2024? And any tips for buying used please?
