Hello all,
I don't know if this title is reasonable or not. We have a 2015 Pilot, which we bought in 2017. We have been extremely happy with it.
But the other day, when I took it in for an oil change (the wrench light was on), we found out that (1) our auto-tensioner was leaking, (2) the front map light assembly had to be replaced (we thought just the bulb was out), (3) the V6 timing belt had to be replaced, and (4) the sway end links were broken. Additionally we had to completely replace the power steering fluid.
All of this cost us, after shaming the rep to get a couple of hundred $ off, $1552.95.
I should note that this only has 58,946 easy miles on it.
This is our very first Honda, after many years of happily owning (with very low maintenance costs) Toyotas.
The rep indicated something about this being an issue with V6's...
Can anyone shed light on whether this is normal for this age and mileage, and whether we are wrong to start to question switching
over from Toyota?
Thanks,
Mitch
