Hey thanks for watching. So people saying don’t get the 9 speed don’t have any idea what they or saying or experience. We have had nearly zero issues with the 9 speed. The 6 speed is problematic but if you stay on top of the transmission services (I highly recommend every 15k a drain and fill) then it can get a way less problematic trans as well just like the 9 speed. Buying a used one can be risky because chances are proper maintence wasn’t done on the 6 speed and could be too little too late, for that reason I say go with the 9 speed if the budget allows to get, which like you said comes on a higher trim pilot.

That’s as long as you do regular maintenance but that goes for most cars.

Man i was thinking about buying 2016-18 Honda pilot but seeing some off these reviews makes me nervous about buying it now. I have a cr-v now really reliable so I was the pilot would be the same. Thoughts? Is it worth buying?

I have a 2018 CRV, as well. Love it, too! I think the Pilot is still a good buy. With it's size and power I am happy with it. Really no issues at all other that trans jutter. But the flush fixed it. @@wdaycock

My wife has a 2016 pilot, when cold outside when you push button to open rear hatch it will open all the way up and will close as soon as it get open ! It will put pressure on you but will stop . Not sure what it would do with a child using it !!!

You can try and perform a 15 minute battery reset, if that doesn’t work, take it to your local dealer to have them diagnose it properly.

You have to change trans fluid and external filter at least every 40000 miles or the tiny little filter will clog up and you'll have your flutter or jiggly gears

QUESTION : So the other day my honda accord would make a clicking noise(or should I say it sounded like it was struggling to start) when I would turn the key to start the car🥴🥴. AAA came out and hooked up their tester and found "nothing wrong"...he even took the battery out to "reset" it.. car started after that(this was monday)..fast forward to TODAY and same noise happening again,only this time it hasn't not came on,just keep hearing a clicking noise(I suspect it was the starter but he saysss nothing is wrong lol),should I be concerned?

My ‘18 Touring sometimes hesitates then surges when accelerating from a stop. I’ll press the gas, RPM barely moves for 2-3 seconds, them vroom 3000 RPM. It happens with eco mode both on and off. I’m up to date on all scheduled maintenance. I did notice it started when I had one new tire 🛞 installed due to a flat, so I suspect it’s 4wd/transfer case related, but not sure.

@@BCautosolutions Thanks. It’s probably mostly due to cold running, but I suspect if it’s internal then it’s the 4wd system doing something as the engine doesn’t even respond to throttle input for that brief 1-2 second period. The car threw a P0304 misfire code which prompted the dealer to change out the fuel injectors and gaskets a while back (free under a recall or something), so I hopeful it was fuel system related, but no, it kept happening. It might be placebo effect, but I feel like it’s less prevalent after I’ve had the oil/transmission/diff/transfer fluid changed, and more pronounced when these fluids are old. Any idea of codes I should be looking for?

Hello I am a Uber driver. I’ve had this car since 2016 the new I hold 202,000miles. Please take it from a person with experience not a mechanic every problem he has said I have had the fuel injector problems first came to me when I had 30,000 miles on the dealership and the corporation did not want to take responsibility. Oh my God screwed $2000 to fix something that’s not my fault, second of all the transmission the same thing he said happened to me I have never seen a transmission like this car. I have to change the oil every oil change roughly between 5 to 7000 miles ridiculous I’ve had the same problem with the pushbutton start. Thank God I fixed it myself. The store has been nothing but a big royal pain in the ass. I wish I never purchased it. I also was the person that told me the store is on the lowest part of hell

So first off I want to apologize for their incompetence. The injectors have a warranty extension and if you have paper work stating you paid it I would 💯 try and get reimbursed. The start/stop switch also has a warranty extension, although that’s a fairly cheap repair and not as critical to peruse imo. The biggest deal is the trans! Yes with Uber/Lyft we have to change the fluid at a very ridiculous and unreasonable rate as you have stated. Best of luck going forward 👍🏻
