Just incase you needed to know, a king mattress will fit inside the Honda pilot.

My 2025 Pilot ac compressor went out last Saturday, brought it to the dealer, gave me a loaner. Today I got a phone call from Service Dept and stated that parts won’t arrive til Sept, I asked about the loaner,they said they cannot provide the loaner for that long period of time since it is not a safety issue, I told the Service Mngr that I have an asthma, and it is summer, I live in IL and I can provide a doctor’s note if need be to keep the loaner they provided but he said it’s Honda’s policy that if it’s not a safety issue then they cannot extend the loaner car til my car gets fixed. My Pilot is only 1 year old and 4 mos, yes it is still under warranty. Is anyone experiencing the same issue/s?

2025 Pilot. I have had 2 Odysseys since 2005 and remember the importance of doing first fluid swap at 30k miles and 30k after because Honda was known for their weak transmissions. The swap was easier than an oil change. The new Pilot has a recommended fluid service at 60k and it looks fairly involved. Fluid can only be added from the underside at a port on the trans housing??

What changed and why?

Hi 👋 I’m shopping for a smoke blue pearl elite in California. Love the color and the drive. I dove into this forum and see so many people making deals on different states.
Is that possible in California ?!

I can probably get a deal done for around 60 OTD, I love the car but don’t want to over pay if I don’t have to.

That said the states are all different and I don’t want to waste a bunch of time haggling for nothing.

Any Californians have luck ?

I just bought a new pilot and had it detailed but the company used a strong perfume smell. How can I get this smell out?

I own a 2016 pilot elite out in NY and there was a snow storm in January/February and every since then these problem lights would pop up and I thought the cameras and radar was just dirty so I took my car to a car wash and it helped for a little bit then it popped up again and it’s been on and off for awhile sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t and other times the problems happen in the middle of my drive any tips would be great ty

2013 Honda Pilot 188K mil.

Please recommend if I missed something, sorry I do not lot of car terms, thank you.

Nov 2024, I replaced brand new whole brake systems included pads, rotors, calipers AND brand new four tires with alignment. I do bring my car in for tire rotation every 5000 mil regularly.

Today, July 22, 2026, I dropped off my car at a local shop $1800 included timing belt, valve, water pump, and tensioner service. They will also check if idler pulley makes any noises.

Just last week, DIY finished Oil change.

Next week will DIY below: A college friend is helping me.

(He had me bought lot of fluid / liquid stuffs cost $240 Auto Zone)

Spark pug

Transmission fluid

Coolant fluid

cabin filter

Engine intake filter

From my researches:

1 Disable VCM - My friend told me that I had to order something online and he can use his laptop to disable it? Any good site I can order the item?

2 Head gasket? Should I concern? Can DIY or auto shop?

3 Power steerling?

4 My friend said I have to buy $400 ignition coil????????? So expensive I do not even know what is for. Do I need to?

5 What else am I missing for maintenance?

I checked rockauto for the denso and they don’t have it. I need to replace my alternator sooner rather than later. I’ve been without a car for 3 weeks and my family is over chauffeuring me around. I live in a small town and we only have autozone and O’Reillys. Would this be a good alternative? I also am replacing the solenoid gasket above it. I have that already.
