    I have a 2011 Honda Pilot that keeps dying. No headlights, no dashboard lights, no interior lights. Initially, I thought it was the cold weather that killed a battery cell but I can charge the battery and for a couple of days it stays charged. Last summer, I replaced the battery that has a 3...

    Hello! This is my first post on this site, I have a 2011 exl Pilot (no nav system) and I was wondering if anyone had any advice for preparing it for snowy weather?

    My 2011 Touring 4WD won’t start. No noises. I have checked the battery, starter, a few relays, and the ignition switch. The only thing left I can think of is the neutral safety switch.

    Recently had my 2011 EX-L 2WD pilot in for a PS pump reseal, and A/C recharge (independent mechanic). But since then, my mileage appears to have dropped from 19mpg to 14mpg. Any Ideas? Belt too tight? A/C clutch engages/disengages as usual (like it always has). Anyone else ever experience this?
