Issues Fixed

McGrath Honda in Elgin took care of our problems. Everything is working like a champ now. Good times.

Two New Issues

Well, it has been a while since we had a problem, so it is about time something else came up. Here are the two issues we are having which we are hoping to have looked at when we take the car into the dealership for an oil change tomorrow.

1. Front and Rear Sensor Button - When we first got the car a small green light stayed lit on the button/switch for the front and rear bumper sensors so that we knew when they were on just by looking at it. That light no longer works so each time we need to check if it is on or off, we have to hit the button to find out. We are able to find out because the beeping sound for on and off are different.

2. Heating Controls - All of a sudden when we switch the heat to Feet Only, the front defrosters still seemed to be turned on. We noticed this because when we have the heat on the highest fan setting the defrosters are too loud, so we normally set it to feet only. We did that yesterday and realized we could still hear and feel the heat blowing on the windshield and bouncing into our faces. Not what we expected when we turned it to Feet Only.

Wish us luck tomorrow!!!

Another Road Trip

Just got back from Door County in north east Wisconsin for a long weekend and I am happy to say we completed the road trip without any issues. Many many miles and the very first ferry ride for my wife and I as well as the first ferry ride for our Pilot.

Pics of our ride on the ferry to Washington Island along with other pics from our time in Door county can be seen here.

Did we discover another recall?

I thought it was hilarious that we had so many problems with the moonroof before Honda finally admitted there was a problem and issued a recall. No problems with that for over a month by the way (knocking on wood). But I think we might have stumbled across another recall issue. Around the same time we had the moonroof issues, I posted about a brake problem. See that post here and here.

Well we were driving in my mother-in-laws 2010 Pilot EX-L and heard an unsettling familiar noise. Sure enough it was the same exact same noise we were hearing from our brakes during our road trip 7 months earlier.

I am interested to see how this scenario unfolds.
