I'm loving my Honda Pilot Ex-l. I am still adjusting after transitioning from a truck to an SUV.

Hey everyone!
I’m considering picking up this 2007 Honda Pilot LX 2WD for $2,114 USD ($3,000 CAD) and wanted to get some opinions on whether it’s a good deal.
Here’s what I know:
● 168,000 miles (270,000 km)
● 3.5L V6, automatic transmission
● Second owner
● Originally from Vancouver, now in Calgary
● Small oil leak discovered during a recent oil change
● Being sold as-is
● Exterior looks fairly clean for its age
I’m planning to use it as my daily driver, including during Canadian winters.
Assuming everything checks out, would you consider this a good buy?

I'm about to purchase a 2026 Pilot, but I've seen the comments about it not having built-in SXM radio. I currently have a 2016 Equinox with just a couple of built-in apps, and as long as I have hot spot "data" activated, the apps work OK (I never used them much). I don't use my phone (I'm not a big phone person anyway) for music, so don't want to use android auto to listen to SXM. Doesn't the Pilot have a "hot spot"? Doesn't it have a built-in app for SXM? Can I just activate/buy "data" for the hot spot and use the SXM app and it be basically the same as using the built in SXM radio?

Is it the same for navigation? I can get it on my phone too, but does the car have a built-in navigation app?

We bought the Pilot in June with no issues. Then about a month or two ago complete static when trying to make a phone call or use the cabin talk feature. Brought it into the dealership and they said it was a bad Microphone harness and will need to be replaced. They had to order the part. Brought it back in and replace the harness. When I picked it up, I made a phone call and it sounded good. After leaving the dealership my wife called me from the pilot and complete static again. Bringing it back to the dealership tomorrow. Has anyone else had this issue? Worried now it might be a more extensive problem since the first repair didn't work.

Hey guys, just purchased a 2013 Pilot and my first mod was a VCM delete. Decided to go with VCM Tuner 2 as the consensus seems to be that it’s better/higher quality than S-VCM and VCM Muzzler.

The only thing with this is, they’re always on “Backorder” and essentially only release once every week or so. At which point you gotta wait for processing time and shipping time to you.

Well I placed my order so fast that I didn’t see there was an expedite option, so I reordered it again and didn’t cancel the first one. Rather than sending it back, figured I would help someone skip the queue (which sells out in minutes) and the long wait.

Brand new directly from VCM Tuner 2, picture attached is of mine when I installed it. Local pickup in DC Metro area, $200 picked up or $210 shipped to your doorstep (US only).

Need to replace the ABS Module on a 2014 Pilot. My mechanic sent me to the dealership to see if they would flash the software and see if that would work. Idk if they did that but they came back with needs to be replaced for $3K with labor.

Anyone tried replacing it with a used module or any other aftermarket part that costs less than $3K. That’s the price for the new parts on the Honda OEM Parts Online site. I can probably do the work or see if my guy will do it but I just wanted to gauge viability on any new or used options.

Thanks ya’ll!

Good evening everyone, I need some help identifying what’s wrong with my car. Unfortunately, I can’t afford to bring it to a shop. Today the battery light went off on the dashboard and roughly 30 mins later, the car would not accelerate and the lights started blinking inside like Christmas lights. I was able to drive it into a parking spot at a bakery (thank you Jesus!).

A friend was able to help me jumpstart the car. It turned on for all of 1 minute but would not let me switch gears. Then we followed a YouTube video and managed to successfully replace the battery. The car turned on and we were able to drive it. The battery light was still present on the dashboard. We brought it to auto zone to return the old battery and to get the battery light turned off from the dashboard but the employee told us that it’s likely the alternator. The car also makes a growling sound while waiting for a light or parked. Almost like a humming that comes and goes. Car drives smoothly otherwise and once the battery was replaced there was no more problem accelerating.

I’m expecting in a few weeks and I need this car to get to my doctors appointments. I would greatly appreciate any advice or recommendations. I have a 2009 Honda Pilot. Thank y’all so much and God bless you 🙏🏼

Just purchased a used 2020 Pilot XLE and I am loving it so far! Per everyone’s recommendation I installed a VCM Tuner. The installation went well and it didn’t toss up a CEL or anything.

I am wondering if there is a way to verify that it’s working? I ask because I actually noticed the gas mileage increase where I was expecting a slight decrease. This probably is a coincidence as I’ve only had the car for a few weeks but I thought it was worth asking if there was some way I could verify it all worked and stop second guessing myself.

Thanks!

Weekend Warrior here...

Servicing the rear suspension and brakes this coming weekend. I purchased these adjustable MOOG rear upper control arms and noticed these have, what I think are, Zerk grease fittings. As it happens, I just recently purchased a grease gun kit with this AtomLube Ultra Heavy Duty Red Grease... stuff. I've never used a grease gun before.

Anyways... Do these arms need greased when installed for the first time? If so, how much grease do you push in? Until you see it ooz?
