problem #2

Mar 072008

Pilot ES 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 48,007 miles

Our 2003 Honda pilot experiences a Very bad pounding / Fluttering noise when the rear window(s) is/are down.

We just bought the vehicle used and thought it is/was a mechanical defect.

The noise is deafening and it seems that the only way to be rid of it is to roll down one ore both of the front windows.

Pilot EX

Beware all Pilot owners and potential buyers: When rolling down one of the rear windows on the Pilot, there is serious pounding on your ear drums at speeds above 40 mph. I would state this as near deafening or as the service manager put it as an "assault on your ear drums." Try it and the truth will be revealed. Honda is not taking this problem very seriously because "not enough people have called."
