2006 Honda Pilot EX-L review from North America
"2006 Honda Pilot has some integrity issues"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Within 3 months I bought this car, I took a trip to Ski area. The car couldn't start after I left the light on for 30 minutes. I found out Honda didn't use a decent battery for Pilot. I think this is Honda's responsibility to use a decent battery.
General comments?
Overall the car is fine. But the battery definitely is a huge concern for me. Now I always carry a battery jumper with me. It seems ironic for such a new car (only 4000 miles on it)
