Iowa Roadtrip # 2 - what's in store???

Well we are planning another 1 day road trip which will consist of about 10 to 12 hours of driving. I hope we don't have any issues with the car. But if we do, believe you me.... I will post them all.

Closing, Opening, Closed

On two separate occasions today we tried to close the moonroof and when it got to the point where it hit the wind guard and starts to push it down, the moonroof stops closing and opens back up. Then on the 2nd attempt to close the moonroof, it closes without any issues.


Very strange logic in that system.

Fuel Cap

Didn't have time to drop the car off over the weekend so my wife took it in today after work. At first they told her it wouldn't be the gas/fuel cap not being tight enough, cause that will usually show up with a message indicating the fuel cap.

After about an hour and all the "tests" they claimed to perform, they informed my wife that the engine light was on due to the fuel cap not being tightened enough. They reset the codes and she was good to go.

Interesting.....

Emissions problem?

Turned the car on this morning and the engine light came on with a message that said "Check Emissions System". We haven't filled the gas tank in a couple of days so I wouldn't think it would be caused by a loose gas cap, but I tightened it anyway as the owners manual suggests. If it doesn't turn off by later this afternoon, we will have another trip to the dealership.

Road Trip = Problem Free

Well we just got back home from a mini road trip to Keokuk, IA to pick out a new puppy. It was about a 10 hour round trip drive and i am happy to say we had no problems. But then again we didn't use the moonroof much.

Moonroof Fail.......again

So it happened again. Four times in a row the moonroof wouldn't close earlier today. The vehicle happened to be in "Park" at the time. Zara decided to try putting the Pilot in gear and give it another try. Sure enough, with the car in "Drive", the moonroof closed without a problem.

Sounds like some great programming by the engineers over at Honda.

Fluke or sign of things to come?

Well, the moonroof decided to not close correctly today. It only happened once and we couldnt get it to happen again. We had just went into reverse and then hit the button to close the moonroof and it didn't work. I hope it was a fluke.
